EMSCULPT NEO — Body Sculpting

EMSCULPT NEO at AKESO Dermatologie combines high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) muscle stimulation with synchronised radiofrequency fat reduction in a single 30-minute session. The HIFEM component induces supramaximal muscle contractions equivalent to 20,000 sit-ups or squats, while the RF component heats and breaks down subcutaneous fat. The standard package of 4 sessions (sold as 3+1) includes a complimentary Lymfastim lymphatic drainage session after each EMSCULPT treatment to support metabolic clearance.

EMSCULPT NEO is the second-generation body sculpting device from BTL Aesthetics, combining two FDA-cleared mechanisms in a single applicator: **High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) stimulation:** The device generates a rapidly alternating electromagnetic field that bypasses voluntary neural control, inducing continuous supramaximal muscle contractions — a contraction intensity impossible to achieve through voluntary exercise. During a 30-minute session, the target muscles perform approximately 20,000 contractions. This mechanical stress triggers muscle fibre remodelling: damaged myofibrils are repaired with additional sarcomeric units (hypertrophy), and satellite cells differentiate into new fibres (hyperplasia). Clinical studies report average muscle mass increases of approximately 25% after a standard 4-session course. **Synchronised Radiofrequency (RF):** A simultaneously delivered RF field heats subcutaneous adipose tissue to 42–44°C, inducing irreversible apoptosis (programmed cell death) in fat cells without damaging the overlying skin. Average fat thickness reduction in published clinical studies is approximately 30% over the treated area after 4 sessions. The 30-minute treatment is typically described as intense but not painful — patients feel strong muscle contractions combined with a warming sensation. No anaesthesia or recovery time is required. The session is performed while the patient lies flat with the applicator strapped to the treatment area (most commonly abdomen and flanks, or buttocks and thighs). AKESO structures EMSCULPT NEO as a 3+1 package (30,000 Kč for 4 sessions total), with each session accompanied by a complimentary Lymfastim pneumatic compression drainage session to support clearance of the metabolised fat and reduce temporary muscle soreness. The intensive body package (64,600 Kč) extends this with 4 Exion RF body sessions for additional skin tightening. Results are typically visible 4–8 weeks after the final session, as muscle remodelling and fat clearance both require time post-treatment. A maintenance session every 3–6 months is recommended to sustain gains. The treatment is not a substitute for weight loss; it is best suited to individuals near their target weight who want to improve body composition in a specific area.
