EMSCULPT NEO
in Atlanta, GA
Dr. Lissa Plastic Surgery offers EMSCULPT NEO in Atlanta, GA, for patients who want firmer muscle and less fat in the same treatment. Each session combines radiofrequency heating with electromagnetic muscle contractions, takes about 30 minutes, and needs no downtime. It is a nonsurgical way to shape the abdomen, buttocks, arms, thighs and calves.
How EMSCULPT NEO Works
EMSCULPT NEO pairs two energies in one applicator. Radiofrequency raises the temperature of the fat layer until fat cells are damaged and later cleared by the body. At the same time, high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy triggers thousands of strong muscle contractions, far more than you could do in a workout. The result is less fat and more toned muscle in the treated area, without needles, incisions or anesthesia.
Before & After
EMSCULPT NEO Overview
EMSCULPT NEO is a body contouring treatment for people who want definition that diet and exercise have not delivered. Unlike treatments that only target fat, it also strengthens the muscle underneath, so the area looks tighter as well as slimmer. It is cleared for patients with a BMI up to 35. If you are comparing options, our non-invasive fat reduction and awake liposuction pages explain how those approaches differ.
Preparation and Consultation for EMSCULPT NEO
Your EMSCULPT NEO plan starts with a consultation at our Peachtree Road office. We talk through the areas that bother you, review your health history and confirm that you have no implanted metal, pacemaker or other device that rules the treatment out. We then recommend which areas to treat and how many sessions make sense. On treatment day, wear comfortable clothes and remove jewelry and metal from the area.
What Happens During EMSCULPT NEO
Applicator Placement
You lie comfortably on the treatment bed while the applicator is secured over the area with a strap. There is nothing to numb and no prep beyond clean skin.
Heat and Muscle Contractions
The device warms the fat layer and starts a pattern of strong muscle contractions. Most patients describe it as an intense workout combined with a hot stone massage.
Comfort Adjustments
Your provider increases the intensity gradually and adjusts it to your comfort. A session takes about 30 minutes, and you can talk, read or rest.
Back to Your Day
When the session ends, the applicator comes off and you can go straight back to work, errands or the gym.

Recovery After EMSCULPT NEO
Right After Treatment
The treated area may feel warm and the muscles may feel worked. There are no incisions and no required downtime.
Muscle Soreness
Many patients notice soreness similar to a hard workout for a day or two. Light stretching, water and normal movement help it pass.
Completing Your Series
Most plans include four sessions spaced five to ten days apart. Keeping your appointments on schedule supports the best outcome.
Maintaining Results
Regular exercise and steady weight help you keep the change. Some patients return for a maintenance session every few months.
When to Expect Visible Results
Some patients notice firmer muscles soon after the first few sessions. Fat reduction shows up more gradually as the body clears damaged fat cells, and most results are visible about three months after the last session. Pairing treatment with a healthy routine, or with medical weight loss when appropriate, can help results last.

- You have a BMI of 35 or lower and want to firm and slim a specific area.
- You have stubborn fat or soft muscle tone on the abdomen, buttocks, arms, thighs or calves.

Key Benefits of EMSCULPT NEO
EMSCULPT NEO treats fat and muscle in the same 30-minute session, so you get both slimming and strengthening from one appointment. There are no incisions, no anesthesia and no downtime. It works on several areas, including the buttocks for a lift without implants, and it fits patients up to a BMI of 35, which many body contouring devices do not.
