What is Emsculpt Neo?
Emsculpt Neo is a body sculpting procedure that uses HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology) and radiofrequency (RF) energy to build muscle and reduce fat simultaneously. It is commonly used on the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and thighs to modify muscle tone.
Created by BTL Aesthetics, Emsculpt Neo builds on the former Emsculpt, by focusing on muscle-building effects while also targeting fat reduction.
The procedure is non-invasive, requiring no incisions or anaesthesia, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
Who’s a Good Candidate?
Emsculpt Neo non-invasive body sculpting is designed to help build muscle tone and target fat pockets in focused areas.
The procedure can be suitable for candidates who are already physically active but would like to try a treatment that can help to make further physical changes to specific areas of the body. It is not a replacement for weight loss or traditional exercise but can complement a healthy lifestyle.
As with any aesthetic-based treatment, having realistic expectations and a good understanding of what the treatment is designed to achieve are important aspects of being a suitable candidate.
Contraindications:
Emsculpt Neo is not recommended for individuals with metal implants, pacemakers, or certain other medical conditions. It is crucial to discuss your medical history with Dr Anh during your consultation, to ensure Emsculpt Neo is suitable for you.
Consultation Process
Before any non-invasive body sculpting treatment, you’ll be able to see one of our team members or Dr Anh for an informative consultation in Perth.
During your consultation, our team will take a comprehensive approach to determine if Emsculpt Neo body sculpting is the right treatment for you. This includes evaluating your body composition and discussing your objectives in detail. Our team will review your medical history, current health status, and any previous treatments to identify any potential contraindications.
A customised body contouring treatment plan will then be developed to address your specific needs, outlining the recommended number of sessions and expected outcomes. For example, tailored to what you would like to achieve, your treatment can focus more on non-invasive fat reduction, building muscle and strength, or a combination of both.
You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions about the procedure, potential risks, and benefits. If you decide to proceed, your first session will be scheduled at your convenience, with pre-treatment instructions provided to ensure optimal results.
Your consultation will also cover the costs of your treatment and allow you to ask any questions you have about pricing and payment methods.
If you have any questions for us before your first consultation, you are welcome to contact our team so that we can do our best to help.
How is Emsculpt Non-Invasive Body Sculpting Performed?
Emsculpt is a non-invasive body contouring procedure that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate muscle contractions, and radiofrequency (RF) energy to target fat pockets.
It is an innovative and advanced combined approach, that can help to focus on different areas of the body. Your treatment plan may be tailored to focus on one area or multiple areas, depending on your goals.
Before your treatment, if you will need to follow any steps to prepare, we can outline these steps to you during your consultation and let you know what to expect on the day of your treatment.
To perform the treatment, one of our team members will place a specialised device on the target area, such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. Once activated, the device delivers electromagnetic pulses that cause the muscles to contract thousands of times in a short session. These contractions go beyond what can be achieved through voluntary exercise, engaging deep muscle fibres and encouraging muscle development.
For a non-invasive fat reduction, the heat from the radiofrequency (RF) energy works by targeting fat pockets, encouraging fat cells to break down and naturally be eliminated by the body over time.
During the session, you will lie down while the device works through a series of contraction patterns. The intensity can be adjusted based on your comfort level, gradually increasing as your muscles adapt. The process does not require anaesthesia, incisions, or downtime, and each session typically lasts around 30 minutes. You may feel a strong pulling or tightening sensation as the muscles contract, but the treatment is designed to be well-tolerated.
A series of treatments is generally recommended for the best results, with multiple sessions scheduled over several weeks.
A Guide to Aftercare
After an Emsculpt session, there is no required downtime, and you can resume your normal activities immediately. Most people find that the treatment fits easily into their routine without any significant disruption.
Some people notice mild muscle fatigue or soreness, similar to what you might feel after an intense workout, but this usually fades within a day or two. Staying hydrated can help with muscle recovery, so it’s a good idea to drink plenty of water after your session.
Since Emsculpt works by stimulating deep muscle contractions, you may feel some tightness in the treated area, but this should not interfere with daily activities. Gentle stretching or light movement can help if you experience stiffness, though there generally is no need to follow any specific aftercare routines.
You can support your results by maintaining an active lifestyle and eating a balanced diet. While the treatment helps to strengthen and tone muscles, regular exercise can help sustain those effects over time. The muscles will continue to respond to the treatment in the weeks following your sessions, and some people choose to have maintenance treatments to prolong their results.

Costs of Emsculpt Neo Body Contouring in Perth
The cost of Emsculpt treatment will be discussed during your consultation, as pricing can vary depending on the number of sessions recommended for your goals.
Since the treatment plan is tailored to each individual, the total cost will depend on factors such as the areas being treated and the number of sessions needed.
During your consultation, Dr Anh or one of our team members will assess your needs and outline a treatment plan, including the pricing details. If you have any questions about costs or treatment options, this is the best time to discuss them. You are also welcome to get in touch with our team before your consultation to ask any questions you may have.
Risks and Possible Complications
While the treatment is designed to perform non-invasive body sculpting and non-invasive fat reduction, there are still some factors to keep in mind before your treatment.
Emsculpt is generally well tolerated and has minimal risks. Some people may experience mild muscle soreness after a session, similar to what you might feel after an intense workout. This typically fades within a day or two.
Possible side effects of Emsculpt are generally mild and temporary. These may include:
Emsculpt Neo risks and possible complications include:
- Mild muscle soreness, similar to post-exercise fatigue
- Temporary muscle fatigue
- Skin redness or slight swelling in the treated area
- A pulling or tightening sensation during the treatment
Further side effects may occur if the treatment is performed on someone with metal implants, pacemakers, or certain medical conditions that could be affected by electromagnetic energy, so having a thorough consultation process to identify contraindications is highly important.
If you have any concerns after your session, it’s best to reach out to our team. Most people tolerate the treatment well and can return to their usual activities immediately, but a consultation is the best way to determine if it’s right for you.
