EMSculpt Neo® in Zurich – Revolu­tionary body sculpting technology

EMSculpt Neo® is a revolu­tionary, medically approved technology for simul­ta­neously streng­thening muscles, reducing fat tissue and visibly tightening the skin – without any surgery or recovery time. This advanced treatment is the only technology in the world that combines high-intensity electro­ma­gnetic energy (HIFEM+) with synchro­nised radio frequency (RF) in a single session. At Aesthetics Medical in Zurich, we rely on this innovative method for effective body sculpting with scien­ti­fi­cally proven results.

While the electro­ma­gnetic pulses stimulate deep muscles to supra­ma­ximal contrac­tions, signi­fi­cantly more intense than is possible through normal training, the radio frequency simul­ta­neously ensures controlled heating of the tissue. This heat activates fat metabolism, promotes lipolysis (fat breakdown) and also supports the tightening of connective tissue, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.

Treatment areas

Abdominal and core muscles

EMSculpt Neo® inten­sively tones the abdominal muscles, builds a six-pack, reduces belly fat and tightens the skin. Ideal for defining the core muscles and for restoring the rectus diastasis after pregnancy.

Buttocks (buttock lift)

The treatment shapes and lifts the buttocks, builds up the gluteal muscles and reduces fat deposits at the same time. For a firm, shaped and lifted bottom – without surgery (Brazilian butt lift without a scalpel).

Thighs (inner, front, back, side)

EMSculpt Neo® tightens thighs, reduces saddlebags, builds muscle and shapes the legs. Ideal for sagging skin on the inner thighs or fat deposits on the outer thighs.

Upper arms (biceps & triceps)

The treatment defines the upper arms, builds up the biceps and triceps, and reduces the typical "bat wings" on the back of the arms. For firm, defined and sculpted upper arms.

Calves, back & flanks

Calves can also be streng­thened, the back defined and the flanks ("love handles") reduced. EMSculpt Neo® speci­fi­cally targets a wide range of problem areas for a harmo­nious body contour.

What is EMSculpt Neo®?

EMSculpt Neo® is the world's first non-invasive body sculpting technology that combines muscle building, fat reduction and skin tightening in one treatment. This revolu­tionary, FDA-approved technology was developed by the American medical technology company BTL and is based on extensive clinical studies. EMSculpt Neo® combines two highly effective techno­logies in one device:

1. HIFEM+ (High-Intensity Focused Electro­ma­gnetic Technology): This high-intensity electro­ma­gnetic energy penetrates deep into the muscle layers and triggers supra­ma­ximal contrac­tions – well over 100% of the maximum contraction force. These intense contrac­tions are equivalent to appro­xi­m­ately 20,000 sit-ups, squats or bicep curls and lead to measurable muscle growth through muscle hyper­trophy (thickening) and hyper­plasia (increase in muscle fibres).

2. Synchro­nised radio frequency (RF): At the same time, the tissue is heated to appro­xi­m­ately 42-43°C using radio frequency energy. This causes:

  • Lipolysis (fat reduction): The heat leads to apoptosis (programmed cell death) of the fat cells.
  • Skin tightening: The heating stimu­lates collagen production for firmer skin.
  • Improved muscle perfor­mance: Preheating optimally prepares the muscles for supra­ma­ximal contractions.

Scien­ti­fi­cally proven results:

Clinical studies with EMSculpt Neo® show impressive results:

  • Up to 30% increase in muscle mass after a series of treatments
  • Up to 25% reduction in fat in the treated area
  • Average 19% reduction in rectus diastasis (gap between the abdominal muscles)
  • Visible skin tightening and contour improvement

The EMSculpt Neo® treatment process

1. Initial consul­tation and goal definition

We conduct a detailed consul­tation and analyse your body contour, problem areas and goals. Together, we define which areas should be treated and how many sessions are necessary for optimal results. You can eat and drink normally – no special prepa­ration is required.

2. Prepa­ration & placement

You lie comfor­tably on the treatment bed. The special EMSculpt Neo® appli­cators are positioned precisely on the area to be treated – different appli­cators are available for different areas of the body (abdomen, buttocks, thighs, arms).

3. Treatment – warm-up phase & supra­ma­ximal contractions

The treatment begins with a warm-up phase: the radio frequency heats the tissue in a controlled manner to around 42-43°C. Then the high-intensity electro­ma­gnetic pulses begin – you will feel your muscles contract and relax rhyth­mically in deep, pulsating contrac­tions. The device works with different contraction patterns (fast pulsating, longer contrac­tions) that maximise both muscle building and fat burning. Towards the end, there is a cool-down phase with less intense contractions.

4. After the treatment

After the session, you can get up immediately and go about your normal activities – no downtime. You may experience slight muscle soreness in the next 24-48 hours, which is a positive sign of intense muscle work.

5. Treatment series & results

For optimal results, we recommend a series of 4 treat­ments at intervals of 5-10 days. Initial results are visible after 2-3 weeks, with optimal results after 2-3 months.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

No, the treatment is completely painless. You will feel intense, pulsating muscle contrac­tions and a pleasant feeling of warmth. The sensation is unusual, but not unpleasant or painful. Many patients describe it as an "intense but pleasant workout" or even relax during the treatment. The intensity is adjusted individually.

We generally recommend 4–8 treat­ments at intervals of 5–7 days for optimal results. The exact number depends on your goals, your initial condition and the area being treated. For minor problem areas, 4 sessions may be suffi­cient, while 6–8 sessions are recom­mended for more prono­unced changes.

Many patients feel a change after the first session – their muscles feel firmer. Visible results typically appear after 2–4 weeks. The maximum effect develops over 2–3 months after completion of the treatment series, when the body has built up new muscle tissue and broken down fat.

The muscle gain and fat loss can last from several months to a year, depending on your lifestyle, diet and exercise. The results are permanent as long as you maintain your weight and a healthy lifestyle. Refresher treat­ments every 6-12 months help to stabilise the results in the long term.

No, absolutely none. The treatment is completely free of downtime. You can return to work, drive, exercise or engage in any other activity immediately after the session. There are no restric­tions whatsoever in your everyday life or at work.

Yes, definitely! EMSculpt Neo® is parti­cu­larly effective after pregnancy for streng­thening the pelvic floor, rebuilding the abdominal muscles, reducing rectus diastasis (abdominal muscle separation) and tightening the tissue. It is important that your body has fully recovered – usually at least 6-8 weeks after giving birth or after completing postnatal recovery. Please consult your doctor if you are breastfeeding.

Yes, you can and should continue with your usual training routine. EMSculpt Neo® comple­ments your training perfectly, but does not replace it entirely. The combi­nation of EMSculpt Neo® and regular exercise leads to the best results. However, you do not need to train additio­nally – the treatment is also effective without exercise.

EMSculpt Neo® is the next step in the evolution of the original EMSculpt. The key diffe­rence: EMSculpt Neo® combines electro­ma­gnetic technology (HIFEM+) with synchro­nised radio frequency. This not only builds muscle, but also reduces fat and tightens the skin – all in one treatment. EMSculpt Neo® is signi­fi­cantly more effective than the previous model.

The most common "side effect" is muscle soreness in the treated areas, similar to that experi­enced after an intense workout. This is a positive sign and indicates that the muscles have been working. Other possible, rare reactions include slight redness, a feeling of warmth, tension or temporary sensi­tivity to pressure. These symptoms subside within hours to a maximum of 1-2 days.

EMSculpt Neo® is not a weight loss method, but rather a body contouring treatment. You may not see a signi­ficant change on the scales, as muscle tissue is heavier than fat tissue. However, you will notice a signi­ficant change in your body contour, mass and appearance. Your trousers will fit more loosely, your stomach will be flatter and your bottom will be firmer – even if your weight remains the same.

EMSculpt Neo® is suitable for: abdomen (six-pack develo­pment, fat reduction), buttocks (butt lift), thighs (inner, front, back, side/​saddlebags), upper arms (biceps, triceps/'bat wings'), calves, back and flanks. The most popular treat­ments are for the abdomen and buttocks.

The treatment should not be performed in the following cases: electronic implants (pacemakers, insulin pumps, defibril­lators), pregnancy, acute infec­tions or inflamma­tions, open skin areas in the treatment area, severe cardio­vas­cular diseases, uncon­trolled diabetes, metal implants in the treatment area or very high BMI (over 35). We will clarify all contra­in­di­ca­tions during the consultation.

Yes, very well indeed. Combining it with lymphatic drainage supports the removal of broken-down fat cells. Firming treat­ments or skin care programmes can improve the overall effect. Cryoli­po­lysis or other body contouring proce­dures can also be combined. We would be happy to advise you indivi­dually on sensible combinations.

No exercise or rest period is necessary – you can resume your normal activities immediately. It is important to drink plenty of fluids (at least 2–3 litres of water daily) to support fat metabolism and the removal of broken-down fat cells via the lymphatic system. Otherwise, there are no restrictions.

Yes, absolutely. EMSculpt Neo® is FDA-approved and has been studied in numerous clinical trials. The results (up to 30% more muscle mass, up to 25% less fat) have been published in peer-reviewed scien­tific publi­ca­tions and are supported by objective MRI measu­re­ments. The technology is based on evidence-based medicine.

Muscles are built up through genuine physio­lo­gical contrac­tions – compa­rable to intensive training, but more effective. This muscle growth is real and permanent. Fat loss is also permanent, as long as there is no new weight gain. Long-term success requires a healthy lifestyle – but that applies to any method.
