Enjoy More Muscle, Less Fat with Emsculpt Neo
calves, buttocks and more. Emsculpt Neo
provides the highest quality aesthetic
treatments available to those looking for
optimum outcomes.
Emsculpt Neo is the first and only noninvasive
body shaping procedure that uses
radiofrequency heating for fat reduction
and high intensity focused electromagnetic
energy (HIFEM) for muscle strengthening
and toning in a 30-minute session. The end
result is more fat reduction and muscle
growth than any single gold standard
product, for less time and less money.
These treatments are virtually painless.
Emsculpt Neo is based on an applicator
simultaneously emitting synchronized
RF and HIFEM+ energies. Due to the
radiofrequency heating, the muscle
temperature quickly raises by several
degrees. This prepares muscles for
exposure to stress, similar to what a warm
up activity does before any workout. In
less than four minutes, the temperature
in subcutaneous fat reaches levels that

cause apoptosis, causing fat cells to become permanently damaged
and ultimately flushed naturally by the body. HIFEM+ energy
contracts 100% of the muscle fibers in the area at intensities that
are not achievable during voluntary workout. The treatment forces
the muscle to adapt, resulting in an increase in the number and
growth of muscle fibers and cells. On average the muscle volume
increases by 25 percent.
Emsculpt Neo treatment does not require any pre-treatment
preparations. You can resume your regular lifestyle right after the
treatment. It is recommended to follow a healthy lifestyle, balanced
diet and proper hydration for best results.
I couldn’t be more proud of my exceptional staff and the extensive

Summer’s nearly here and bathing
suit season is in full swing. We’ve
got great news. We’ve added an
exciting new treatment to our menu
of services that tones the body without
gym time or restrictive dieting. This
breakthrough technology, now available
at PureLife, provides an optimal noninvasive
thermal body and skin treatment
solution. We proudly introduce the
Emsculpt Neo, an effective non-surgical
treatment that can be completed with
a simple in-office visit. Since it has no
downtime, patients can return to their
normal routines and comfortably enjoy a
more toned and firm appearance.
Emsculpt Neo is the first-ever machine to
combine two body-contouring procedures
— fat removal and muscle toning — into
a single non-surgical treatment that takes
about 30 minutes. Patients who desire
muscle toning with minimal fat loss can
also take advantage of this procedure
without the radio frequency heating that
provides additional fat reduction (think buttocks lifting) with
excellent results.
Neo’s muscle toning feature is based on high-intensity focused
electromagnetic energy. Emsculpt Neo uses the electromagnetic
energy to stimulate high frequency and intense muscle contractions.
The device’s deep stimulation allows the treatment to challenge
muscle contraction and development more so than with voluntary
exercise. Incredibly, a single treatment results in about 20,000
muscle contractions.
Emsculpt Neo also offers radiofrequency heating, which induces
fat reduction. By introducing heat to the tissue, about 30% of the fat
cells undergo controlled cell death, resulting in permanent fat loss.
Once the fat cells are destroyed they are eliminated naturally from
the body. Now patients can gain muscle and lose fat simultaneously.
A clinical trial presented at the annual meeting of the American
Society for Dermatologic Surgery showed that Emsculpt produced
a 25 percent boost in muscle mass and a 30 percent reduction of
fat among 40 of the 48 people who trialed the treatment over
three months.
Our specialists can treat multiple areas of concern with handsfree
applicators for enhanced results for bodies of all shapes and
sizes. This technology can effectively treat the abdomen, arms,
