No matter if you are a regular face in the gym or have just started your wellness and fitness journey, stubborn fat can prevent you from feeling confident in how you look. At Lumina Vein & Aesthetic Institute, we offer Emsculpt NEO near Orlando to help you target stubborn fat and create a body you can feel confident in.
Emsculpt NEO combines radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to simultaneously build muscle and melt fat. Here, we’ll cover everything you need to know before booking an appointment for Emsculpt NEO.
The Basics
| Number of Session | Treatment Length | Downtime/Recovery | Numbing Required |
| 4 to 8 | 30 minutes | None | None |
The Science
Emsculpt NEO combines radiofrequency and HIFEM energy to melt fat and build muscle, but how exactly does it do this? To answer that, we’ll need to look at the skin up close.
The skin is made up of 3 layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue/fat. For Emsculpt NEO to accomplish its goal, it needs to target all 3 without causing any damage to the subsequent layers. Here is how it can do just that:
HIFEM Energy
HIFEM energy uses electromagnetic stimulation to cause your muscles to contract. To be most effective, your skin and muscles will need to be well hydrated—which means that drinking water before this treatment is crucial to seeing transformational results. The electromagnetic energy reacts with the water molecules in your muscular tissues, creating friction in your body. This friction causes your muscles to contract much more rapidly than they ever would during a normal workout—about 20,000 times in one 30-minute session.
This friction helps target the muscle underneath all the layers of your skin, but what about the subcutaneous fat? While the contractions do help with some fat burning, it’s not usually enough to make a noticeable difference. That is where radiofrequency comes in.
Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency uses the science of thermolipolysis to effectively melt fat. Thermolipolysis leans on the understanding that fat cells are killed at a lower temperature than muscle or skin cells, making it easier to “melt” away. So when you undergo Emsculpt NEO near Orlando, you will feel some heat, but nothing exceeding 43° Celsius (109.4° Fahrenheit). This creates a comfortable warmth on the skin, but when trapped in the layer of fat underneath the epidermis and dermis, it destroys fat cells. Then your body can naturally flush out the damaged cells, leaving you with a slimmer, more contoured figure.
Better Together
Like peanut butter and jelly or milk and cookies, radiofrequency and HIFEM do well individually, but are best when paired together. Here are the benefits you can experience when pairing RF and HIFEM energy:
- 30% more muscle mass
- 25% decrease in fat
- 19% decrease in abdominal separation
- 5.9 cm reduction in waist circumference (about a dress size)
The Emsculpt NEO Process
Here is what you can expect when you visit our Lumina team for Emsculpt NEO near Orlando.
Consultation
Your first appointment with our team will be an initial consultation. During this appointment, your provider will learn more about your concerns, your goals, and your overall health history. They will use this information to determine the best course of action when it comes to your treatments. From here, they’ll discuss all of your options with you, including Emsculpt NEO, and help you create a personalized treatment plan that addresses all your needs.
Treatment
Once you feel confident in your treatment plan, your provider will help you schedule your first appointment for Emsculpt NEO near Orlando. They will provide you with a list of instructions to prepare for your treatment, which will help you achieve the best results.
During your appointment, your provider will have you adjust or remove certain articles of clothing to allow access to the treatment area. They will place the Emsculpt NEO applicator to the treatment area and begin administering treatment. Emsculpt NEO is painless, but you may feel an odd sensation as the HIFEM energy stimulates muscle contractions.
Results
Once you finish with your first appointment, your provider will help you schedule your next treatment sessions. We typically like to provide 4 to 8 sessions over the course of 4 weeks, but the frequency of sessions can be adjusted to your needs. You can return to your normal daily activities immediately following your appointment, since Emsculpt NEO does not require any downtime or recovery time.
Once finished with the full treatments series, you can expect to see noticeable improvements within just a few days. How long you enjoy your results depends on many factors, but you will most likely need to come in for maintenance treatments to ensure you can keep your slimmer, more sculpted look.

Commonly Paired Treatments
Every patient that visits Lumina Vein & Aesthetic Institute has different goals. Here are the treatments and products we most commonly pair with Emsculpt NEO and what goals they can help you achieve.
Emtone
We enjoy pairing Emsculpt NEO with Emtone for those who want to target stubborn fat and cellulite. While cellulite is caused by stubborn fat, Emtone can only target the fat cells that are trapped directly in the fat chambers near the surface of the skin. To address stubborn fat that’s both near the surface and deeper within the skin, we often pair Emtone and Emsculpt NEO near Orlando.
Exion RF Microneedling
While Emsculpt NEO is great for toning muscle and melting fat, it may not be the best option to address skin laxity. So, to help with sagging skin, we like to pair Emsculpt NEO with Exion RF microneedling. Exion increases your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which helps to create tighter, smoother skin. Along with the benefits from Emsculpt NEO, you’ll be able to enjoy a whole-body transformation!
Medical Weight Loss
When you are undergoing medical weight loss, injections can cause muscle wasting. While we recommend exercising regularly to maintain muscle mass and fitness, our team likes to complement your weight loss journey with Emsculpt NEO. The muscle building aspect will help prevent muscle wasting, and the fat loss effects will help you move closer to your weight loss goals.
Alastin TransFORM Body Treatment
We offer in-house skincare at Lumina, including Alastin medical-grade products. The TransFORM body treatment from this revolutionary skincare brand uses TriHex technology, which can be an excellent complement to your treatment of Emsculpt NEO near Orlando. This will help reverse and prevent crepey skin, leaving you with a sculpted and youthful look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Emsculpt NEO good for weight loss?
No, Emsculpt NEO is not meant to be used as a weight loss treatment. While it can be paired with other weight loss treatments, you will not achieve your desired results if you use Emsculpt NEO near Orlando as your only method of weight loss.
We typically recommend Emsculpt NEO when you are at or close to your ideal weight. Then you can use Emsculpt NEO to target pockets of stubborn fat, creating a more desirable shape.
How do I maintain my results?
The best way to maintain your results is to establish healthy habits. This means limiting alcohol and tobacco use, avoiding greasy or fatty foods, eating balanced meals, drinking plenty of water, and exercising regularly. While you may still need maintenance treatments to keep seeing the full extent of your results, these healthy habits can help you space those appointments less frequently.
What areas can I treat with Emsculpt NEO?
You can treat the thighs, abdomen, flanks, calves, and arms with Emsculpt NEO. During your consultation, you can talk to your provider about your specific areas of concern and create a treatment plan that best fits your goals.
Is Emsculpt NEO safe?
Emsculpt NEO has undergone extensive testing and is FDA-cleared to help build muscle and melt fat. The device has also been mentioned in 21 peer-reviewed clinical studies and publications.
