EMSCULPT NEO in London

Medically reviewed by Dr Martin Wade | Consultant Dermatologist and Medical Director | Last updated on August 2026

EMSCULPT NEO in London offers a targeted approach for people who want greater muscle tone and definition in areas that have not responded as expected to exercise. It combines powerful muscle stimulation with radiofrequency energy to strengthen the treated muscles and reduce localised fat during the same session.

Areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, arms, thighs and calves can be treated individually or as part of a wider body-contouring plan. At London Real Skin, we assess muscle tone, fat distribution and skin quality before recommending the areas and number of sessions best suited to your starting point and goals.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an appointment with Kylie for skin tag removal, and this was my second visit to the clinic but my first time being treated by her.

At first, I was quite nervous and didn’t feel very confident about the procedure. However, as soon as Kylie started explaining the process and what to expect, she immediately put me at ease. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and clearly knows exactly what she’s doing.

I chose to have the procedure without numbing cream, and to my surprise, I hardly felt any discomfort at all. As soon as the treatment was finished, I could already see excellent results.

I would definitely recommend Kylie to anyone considering skin tag removal , ACP Treatment ..

Thank you all !

See before and immediate after 🥰 great job

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a client of this clinic for a couple of years now and always find Kate extremely knowledgeable, personable and top tier customer service. I can see why she is in charge of running the clinic. I have had many microneedling and chemical peel treatments with Ellen and whilst I kept going back because she was so patient, skilled and knowledgeable, I also always enjoyed the little chats we'd have and the giggles. She always made the whole experience enjoyable. I am now a patient with the dermatology doctor and miss the ladies on the other side of the clinic! I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone interested in treatments

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a consultation with Flor to discuss some loose skin on my eyelids, as well as skin tightening for my chin and jawline. She is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable, and took the time to explain my options while giving honest, realistic advice about what could actually be achieved.

What I appreciated most was that I never felt like I was being sold a treatment. Instead, Flor genuinely listened to my concerns and recommended what she felt would be the most suitable approach for me. It was so refreshing to speak with someone who prioritises giving honest guidance over making a sale.

I left the consultation feeling informed, reassured, and confident about my next steps.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very skeptical of having laser as I did. It know what to expect. Leigh was very reassuring and approachable in making the whole experience comfortable. She even gave me a feel for the laser before my appointment in September by removing one cherry angioma. Now that’s great customer expectations!  I have an appointment booked for September!

What Is EMSCULPT NEO?

EMSCULPT NEO is a non-invasive body-contouring treatment that combines high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy with synchronised radiofrequency. Applicators placed over the target muscles deliver both forms of energy simultaneously, allowing the treatment to strengthen muscle and reduce localised fat without incisions, injections or anaesthetic.

EMSCULPT NEO combines powerful muscle contractions with radiofrequency energy to improve tone and body definition.

How Does EMSCULPT NEO Work?

The applicators are secured over the treatment area before the intensity is increased gradually. You will feel warmth alongside repeated muscle contractions, with short release phases incorporated throughout the session. These two forms of energy work together to condition the underlying muscles and target the layer of fat above them.

High-Intensity Electromagnetic Energy

HIFEM+ energy produces powerful contractions across the targeted muscle group at an intensity that cannot be maintained through voluntary exercise. The muscle fibres respond by adapting and strengthening, supporting improved tone, strength and definition across a planned course.

Synchronised Radiofrequency Energy

Radiofrequency warms the muscles in preparation for the contractions while raising the temperature within the overlying fat layer. This controlled heating breaks down a proportion of the targeted fat cells, which are then cleared gradually through the body’s natural processes.

Which Areas Can EMSCULPT NEO Treat?

EMSCULPT NEO is designed for areas where the applicators can target a defined muscle group and the layer of localised fat above it. Several areas can be included within a wider treatment plan where appropriate.

— Treatment areas include:

What Are the Benefits of EMSCULPT NEO?

EMSCULPT NEO addresses two important elements of body contour: the condition of the underlying muscle and the layer of fat covering it. It is particularly relevant when exercise has not created the desired level of definition in a specific area.

The benefits of EMSCULPT NEO include

Increased muscle tone and strength

Greater visible definition in targeted areas

Reduction of localised fat over the treated muscles

Simultaneous muscle stimulation and radiofrequency heating

Treatment for several areas of the body

Approximately 30-minute sessions per area

No incisions, injections or anaesthetic

No planned recovery period

A course tailored to your starting point and goals

EMSCULPT NEO can be used to improve muscle tone in areas such as the arms, thighs, buttocks, and calves.

EMSCULPT NEO for Body Contouring, Not Weight Loss

EMSCULPT NEO is designed to refine specific areas rather than produce overall weight loss. It strengthens the muscles beneath the applicators while targeting localised fat above them, making it best suited to people who are close to a stable weight and want greater tone and definition. It does not replace nutrition or exercise, treat visceral fat, remove large volumes of fat or correct significant loose skin.

Am I Suitable for EMSCULPT NEO?

EMSCULPT NEO can suit adults who are close to a stable weight and want to improve muscle tone, strength and definition in specific areas. The degree of change will depend on your starting muscle condition, fat distribution, treatment area and completion of the recommended course.

Treatment is not suitable during pregnancy or for people with certain electronic or metal implants, including pacemakers or metal within or close to the treatment area. A hernia, recent procedure, active injury, reduced sensation or relevant medical condition may also affect suitability. Your medical history and the proposed treatment area will be assessed before treatment is confirmed.

Your EMSCULPT NEO Journey at London Real Skin

Each plan begins with an assessment of the areas you want to treat and the changes you would like to make. We will explain what EMSCULPT NEO can realistically achieve, recommend the most appropriate course and discuss how treatment can fit around your existing exercise routine.

Consultation and Body Assessment

During your complimentary consultation, your practitioner will assess muscle tone, localised fat and body proportions across the proposed treatment areas. Your medical history, previous procedures and any implanted devices will also be reviewed before your treatment plan is confirmed.

Preparing for Treatment

No anaesthetic or extensive preparation is required. Arrive well hydrated, wear comfortable clothing and remove jewellery, electronic devices and other metal objects from the treatment area. You may also be asked to empty your bladder before abdominal treatment so you remain comfortable throughout the session.

The EMSCULPT NEO Session

The applicators are positioned securely over the selected muscle group before the intensity is increased in stages. You will feel warmth and powerful muscle contractions, but the level can be adjusted as you become accustomed to the sensation. One area takes approximately 30 minutes, with additional time required if several areas are treated during the same visit.

Your Recommended Treatment Course

A course of four sessions is generally recommended, with appointments spaced approximately five to ten days apart. Some patients choose six sessions or return for maintenance after their initial results have developed. Your schedule will be based on the treatment area, your starting point and the degree of muscle conditioning required.

Results and Maintenance

The treated muscles can feel more activated shortly after a session, while visible changes develop progressively as the muscles adapt and the body clears the affected fat cells. Results continue to develop after the course and can be supported through regular exercise and nutrition. Maintenance sessions can be arranged according to your goals and how the results are sustained.

Recovery and Possible Side Effects

EMSCULPT NEO does not require planned time away from work or normal daily activities. The treated muscles can feel tired, tender or sore in a way that resembles an intensive workout. Temporary redness, warmth or mild swelling can also occur, but these effects generally settle without specific treatment.

How Much Does EMSCULPT NEO Cost?

The cost of EMSCULPT NEO depends on the number of areas treated and whether you book an individual session or a course. Your consultation, recommended treatment plan and full price will be confirmed before you decide whether to proceed.

EMSCULPT NEO FAQs

What is the difference between EMSCULPT and EMSCULPT NEO?

As EMSCULPT® NEO is a non-invasive treatment, most people seeking to enhance their physique by losing fat and building lean muscle will benefit from this treatment. However, before we can proceed, we will ask that you attend a pre-treatment consultation at our Holborn clinic. During this initial meeting, we will discuss your concerns about your body and how EMSCULPT® NEO could assist you. We will also review your medical history to ensure that you are fit and healthy enough for the treatment. Additionally, we can discuss the estimated number of sessions you may need and any other treatments that might complement your EMSCULPT® NEO sessions for optimal results.

Can EMSCULPT NEO reduce belly fat?

Does EMSCULPT NEO tighten loose skin?

How many EMSCULPT NEO sessions will I need?

How long does an EMSCULPT NEO session take?

Does EMSCULPT NEO hurt?

You will likely begin to feel initial results immediately after your treatment, and positive results are typically seen between 2 to 4 weeks after your final session. The results will continue to improve for several weeks following your course of treatments. As EMSCULPT® NEO naturally builds lean muscle mass, the results are long-lasting, but it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle as well as undergoing this treatment. Top-up treatments may be advised if, after the initial results are achieved, you feel that you would like to build more muscle or continue to tone up.
