Liposuction and Emsculpt Neo are two popular treatments used to shape the body. As aesthetic medicine improves, people who want to contour their bodies need to know the differences between these two treatments and how to pick the best one for them.

A brief overview of liposuction and Emsculpt Neo

Liposuction and Emsculpt Neo are two common ways to shape the body and get rid of fat. Both procedures try to make the body look better, but they do so in different ways and with different levels of invasiveness. First, let’s quickly go over each:

Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical technique that uses a cannula to remove extra fat from certain body parts. It works well for fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Although it is more intrusive than non-surgical methods, it may provide notable effects in body shaping and fat removal on a variety of body areas.

Emsculpt Neo

Emsculpt Neo is a non-invasive body contouring procedure that targets specific parts of the body to develop muscle and remove fat using radiofrequency (RF) heating and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) radiation. With no anesthetic or incisions needed, this procedure is a simple and easy substitute for liposuction that usually improves body form and muscle tone gradually over time.

Comparing Emsculpt Neo and liposuction

Two distinct treatments that may aid in body contouring and fat removal are liposuction and EmSculpt Neo. These two therapies are contrasted here:

Procedure:

  • Emsculpt Neo: It is a non-invasive, non-surgical therapy that stimulates muscle contractions and burns fat by using radiofrequency (RF) radiation and high-intensity focused electromagnetic pulses (HIFEM).
  • Liposuction: It is a surgical technique in which a cannula attached to a vacuum is used to remove fat from the body.

Fat reduction and muscle building:

  • Emsculpt Neo: After four treatments, Emsculpt Neo may result in a 25% decrease in fat and a 30% increase in muscle growth.
  • Liposuction: It doesn’t affect the building of muscle and may remove up to 10 pounds of fat.

Skin tightening:

  • Emsculpt Neo: This treatment tightens the skin in the treated region by using radiofrequency radiation.
  • Liposuction: It does not affect skin tightening.

Suitable candidates:

  • Emsculpt Neo: Suitable individuals typically weigh between 15 and 30 pounds less than their optimal weight and have a BMI of 30 or below.
  • Liposuction: Candidates should also be firm-skinned, have excellent muscular tone, and weigh no more than thirty pounds.

Pain and downtime:

  • Emsculpt Neo: It doesn’t include any pain or downtime throughout the process.
  • Liposuction: Because it involves surgery, it may be uncomfortable and have longer downtime.

Side effects and risks:

  • Emsculpt Neo: If used appropriately, there are no serious dangers or adverse effects. When using radiofrequency, the only possible danger is a minor burn if the device falls off the skin.
  • Liposuction: Potential dangers associated with liposuction include infection, fluid build-up, uneven shapes, anesthetic concerns, scars, and deeper structural damage.

Treatment count and outcome:

  • Emsculpt Neo: Results may last up to six months, and it usually takes four sessions spread over two weeks. There may be a need for maintenance sessions.
  • Liposuction: The procedure typically takes three to four hours to perform, and the patient’s body weight must be constant for the effects to last.
