EMSCULPT NEO
WHY THE EMSCULPT NEO?
Dual Technology:
HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) Energy: This technology induces supramaximal muscle contractions that are significantly more intense than those achieved through voluntary exercise. These contractions force the muscle tissue to adapt, leading to increased muscle mass and strength.
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy: RF energy heats the subcutaneous fat layer to a temperature that induces apoptosis, or fat cell death. The body then naturally processes and eliminates these dead fat cells over time.
Comprehensive Body Contouring: By combining muscle stimulation and fat reduction in one treatment, Emsculpt NEO offers a more comprehensive approach to body contouring compared to treatments that address only one of these aspects.
How Emsculpt NEO Works
Muscle Building: The HIFEM technology induces intense muscle contractions that build and strengthen muscles. This effect is similar to the impact of an intense workout but more concentrated and effective.
Fat Reduction: The RF energy targets fat cells by heating them to a temperature that causes them to die. The body then naturally eliminates these cells over the weeks following the treatment.
Benefits of Emsculpt NEO
Non-Invasive: Emsculpt NEO is a non-surgical treatment, meaning there are no incisions, anesthesia, or recovery time required.
Efficient: Each session lasts about 30 minutes per treatment area, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Versatile: Emsculpt NEO can be used on various body areas, with the abs and glutes being particularly popular treatment sites.
Treatment Protocol
Number of Sessions: A typical protocol involves four sessions, spaced approximately one week apart.
Results Timeline: Patients often begin to see initial results after a few sessions, with optimal results typically visible around three months post-treatment. Maintenance sessions can help sustain results.
Patient Experience
During the Session: Patients lie down while the applicator is placed on the treatment area. The machine delivers HIFEM and RF energy, which feels like intense muscle contractions combined with a warming sensation.
After the Session: There is no downtime, and patients can resume normal activities immediately. Some may experience mild muscle soreness, akin to that felt after a vigorous workout.
Applications:
- Abdomen: Strengthens and tones abdominal muscles while reducing fat, leading to a more defined midsection.
- Glutes: Builds and tones the gluteal muscles, resulting in a firmer and more lifted appearance, with additional contouring from fat reduction.
- Quads and Hamstrings: Enhances muscle tone and strength in the thighs, improving overall leg definition and function.
- Biceps and Triceps: Tones and strengthens the muscles of the upper arms, helping to reduce fat and improve muscle definition for a more sculpted appearance.

PROCESS
@LIVKRAFT
Please arrive 10 – 15 minutes before your first appointment in order to fill out the required paperwork. When you have completed the intake form and waivers, a LIVKRAFT team member will check you in and walk you back to one of our Float Suites once the room is available and prepared for your treatment. Once you enter the suite feel free to lock the door for privacy (we have constant communication through our integrated intercom system when you are in the FloatPod and the ability to enter the room in case of an emergency). In the room you will find a shower, 2 towels, earplugs and Vaseline. Goggles are available upon request.
Please follow these steps once you have undressed:
- Quickly rinse off with a warm shower. Be sure to dry your feet and use caution walking around the room after your shower.
- Cover any open wounds or cuts with Vaseline as the high concentration of salt can be very uncomfortable.
- Place earplugs in both ears. If you request goggles, put the goggles on prior to entering the FloatPod.
- Enter the FloatPod using caution.
- Take a few minutes to find the most comfortable position for your body. We have floating neck pillows in case of any neck discomfort. Some people experience neck discomfort during their float session if they are unable to fully relax and fail to trust that their head will remain above the water when fully committing to the Float and letting go of all muscular tension.
- We offer the option of experiencing guided meditation for the first 10 minutes of your treatment. If you would like this option as part of your treatment, please let a LIVKRAFT team member know prior to your treatment.
- Through our Intercom system we will let you know when you have 5 minutes remaining in your float and will alert you when the session has completed.
- Be sure NOT TO TOUCH YOUR EYES at any time during the treatment or before you shower after the treatment. THE SALT WILL CAUSE SIGNIFICANT IRRITATION. If salt does get in your eye at any time exit the FloatPod and use the shower to rinse your eyes immediately.
- Once your float session is completed, enjoy a shower, dry off, get dressed and check out at the front desk with a LIVKRAFT team member.
- Enjoy the rest of your day!

What is Emsculpt NEO, and how does it work?
Emsculpt NEO La Jolla is an advanced body contouring treatment that goes beyond what traditional exercise can achieve. It combines High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy with Radiofrequency (RF) energy to target both muscle and fat in one session. HIFEM energy induces intense muscle contractions, which strengthen and tone the muscles in a way that’s far more effective than regular workouts. At the same time, RF energy heats fat cells, causing them to break down and be naturally eliminated by your body. This dual-action approach makes Emsculpt NEO La Jolla a powerful solution for anyone looking to sculpt their body, reduce fat, and build muscle, all without surgery or downtime.

2. How many Emsculpt NEO sessions are needed for optimal results?
2. How many Emsculpt NEO sessions are needed for optimal results?
With Emsculpt NEO La Jolla, you'll feel the effects of the treatment immediately after your first session. Your muscles will experience intense contractions that leave them feeling firmer and more toned right away. However, to see the most noticeable, visible results, it typically takes about four sessions, spaced a week apart. These sessions work together to significantly enhance muscle definition and reduce fat. To keep seeing and maintaining these results, ongoing treatments are highly recommended. Emsculpt NEO La Jolla is designed not just to give you initial results, but to help you continually improve and maintain your body’s transformation over time.
+
What areas can be treated with Emsculpt NEO?
Emsculpt NEO La Jolla is versatile enough to target multiple areas of the body, making it the go-to treatment for comprehensive body contouring. Whether you’re looking to sculpt your abdomen, lift and firm your glutes, or define your arms and legs, Emsculpt NEO delivers exceptional results. Popular treatment areas include the abdomen, where it helps to achieve a more toned and defined midsection; the glutes, offering a non-surgical lift; and the thighs and arms, where it enhances muscle tone while reducing fat. This versatility ensures that Emsculpt NEO La Jolla can be tailored to your specific body goals, providing you with a customized treatment plan that delivers results.
+
Is Emsculpt NEO safe, and what are the side effects?
Emsculpt NEO La Jolla is an FDA-cleared treatment, recognized for its safety and efficacy. It’s a non-invasive procedure, which means no incisions, no anesthesia, and no recovery time. Most patients report feeling only mild muscle soreness, similar to what you might experience after a rigorous workout, along with some temporary redness in the treated area. These side effects are short-lived and typically resolve within a day or two, allowing you to return to your normal activities immediately. Emsculpt NEO La Jolla is designed to deliver results without the risks and downtime associated with surgical procedures.
+
How does Emsculpt NEO compare to traditional exercise?
Emsculpt NEO La Jolla offers a level of muscle engagement and fat reduction that simply can’t be matched by traditional exercise alone. While working out is essential for overall health, Emsculpt NEO takes it a step further by inducing supramaximal contractions that are far more intense than what you can achieve voluntarily. This leads to a significant increase in muscle mass and strength in a much shorter time frame. Additionally, the RF component targets and reduces fat simultaneously, providing a comprehensive approach to body sculpting that saves time and amplifies your results. Emsculpt NEO La Jolla is perfect for those who are committed to fitness but want to take their results to the next level.

How does Emsculpt NEO compare to CoolSculpting
How does Emsculpt NEO compare to CoolSculpting?
1. Comprehensive Body Sculpting:
- Emsculpt NEO La Jolla: Emsculpt NEO is the only treatment that combines muscle building and fat reduction in a single, non-invasive session. Using advanced High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy and Radiofrequency (RF) energy, it not only reduces stubborn fat but also strengthens and tones your muscles—giving you a sculpted, athletic appearance that goes beyond what CoolSculpting can offer.
- CoolSculpting: CoolSculpting focuses solely on fat reduction by freezing fat cells, which your body then gradually eliminates. While effective for reducing fat, it doesn’t address muscle tone or strength, leaving you with one part of the equation still unmet.
2. Faster, Noticeable Results:
- Emsculpt NEO La Jolla: You’ll begin to feel the muscle engagement immediately during your first session, and visible results start to appear quickly after just a few treatments. A series of four sessions typically delivers the full transformative effect, and regular maintenance can keep your body in peak condition.
- CoolSculpting: Results from CoolSculpting can take several months to fully manifest as your body slowly processes the frozen fat cells. While the fat reduction is noticeable, the results are limited to fat loss alone, without the added benefit of muscle toning.
3. Minimal Risks, Maximum Comfort:
- Emsculpt NEO La Jolla: The treatment is incredibly safe, with minimal to no discomfort during and after the session. You won’t experience the bruising, swelling, or numbness that can occur with CoolSculpting. Plus, there’s no downtime, so you can jump right back into your daily routine immediately after your session.
- CoolSculpting: Some patients may experience discomfort during the cooling process, as well as potential bruising, swelling, or numbness in the treated area. These side effects can last for days or even weeks, making the recovery process more noticeable.
4. Versatility and Targeted Treatment:
- Emsculpt NEO La Jolla: This treatment is highly versatile, allowing you to target multiple areas such as the abdomen, glutes, thighs, arms, and calves. Emsculpt NEO sculpts and tones the entire body, making it a comprehensive solution for those looking to improve their overall physique.
- CoolSculpting: While effective at reducing fat in certain areas, CoolSculpting is limited in its ability to target muscle tone and cannot address multiple concerns in one treatment.
5. Overall Advantage:
- Emsculpt NEO La Jolla: Emsculpt NEO is the superior choice for those who want a holistic approach to body sculpting—reducing fat while simultaneously building muscle. It’s a quick, comfortable, and effective treatment that fits easily into your busy lifestyle, with results that speak for themselves.
- CoolSculpting: Ideal for those looking only to reduce fat, CoolSculpting is less comprehensive and may involve more downtime and discomfort.
+
How can Emsculpt NEO La Jolla support injury rehabilitation and prevention?
While Emsculpt NEO La Jolla is FDA-cleared for muscle toning and fat reduction, the theory and science behind it suggest that strengthening key muscle groups may offer indirect benefits for injury rehabilitation and prevention. Multiple studies show that stronger muscles can help stabilize joints and support proper posture, which are crucial in reducing the risk of injury and aiding in recovery.
1. Core Strength and Back Health:
- Theory and Science Behind It: Strengthening the abdominal muscles through Emsculpt NEO La Jolla can provide better support for the lower back. A strong core is essential for maintaining spinal alignment and reducing strain on the spine, which can be beneficial for those with back pain or a history of back issues.
2. Lower Body Strength and Joint Stability:
- Theory and Science Behind It: Building strength in the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings is vital for stabilizing the knees, ankles, and Achilles tendons. Emsculpt NEO La Jolla’s ability to enhance these muscle groups may help reduce the likelihood of injuries like strains or sprains, while also supporting rehabilitation efforts for existing injuries.
3. Enhancing Muscle Recovery and Performance:
- Theory and Science Behind It: Improved muscle tone and strength can aid in both the recovery from injuries and the prevention of future ones. Emsculpt NEO La Jolla helps condition your body to better handle physical stresses, potentially reducing the wear and tear on joints and tissues.
