Radiofrequency. HIFEM+. Lymphatic Flow.
30 minutes — and three things happen at once.
Most body contouring devices are built around a single mechanism… fat reduction or muscle toning.
EmSculpt NEO delivers radiofrequency energy and HIFEM+ magnetic stimulation in a single treatment — and at Rhythm & Ritual, we use both to do something most providers aren't talking about yet.

RADIOFREQUENCY
how EmSculpt NEO supports fat reduction →
RADIOFREQUENCY heats subcutaneous fat to 43–45°C, triggering irreversible apoptosis — the permanent elimination of fat cells, not shrinkage. Those cells don't come back.
-
HIFEM+
how EmSculpt NEO supports muscle toning →
HIFEM+ induces 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions per session. These are contractions no voluntary workout can replicate — your nervous system physically cannot produce them on its own. The result is deep muscle fiber recruitment, structural strengthening, and metabolic activation.

Fat Reduction
Radiofrequency-induced apoptosis permanently reduces the fat cell population in the treatment area. Unlike cryolipolysis or ultrasound treatments, the eliminated cells cannot regenerate.
Paired with HIFEM+ muscle activation, the metabolic environment shifts — results compound with each session.
-
Muscle Building and Sculpting
Sarcopenia — the age-related loss of muscle fiber that begins in your 30s — is one of the most underaddressed drivers of metabolic decline. EmSculpt NEO rebuilds deep muscle through supramaximal contractions that also strengthen the pelvic floor, support postpartum abdominal recovery, and build the core foundation that protects your spine.
-
Lymphatic Wellness
Your lymphatic system has no dedicated pump — it relies entirely on muscular movement to circulate. Most treatments work above the lymphatic layer; EmSculpt NEO works through it. For clients experiencing chronic puffiness, slow recovery, or a body that feels congested despite a clean lifestyle, this is often the missing mechanism.
We don't use this device as just a body shaping powerhouse. We use it as a holistic tool for releasing stagnant lymphatic flow, stagnant energy, and lingering emotions. Every session is informed by your goals, your history, and the way your body actually works.
This is a treatment worth doing right.

REAL RESULTS
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The clinical protocol — and the one we recommend — is a series of 4 sessions, spaced 5–10 days apart. This is the cadence validated across 40+ studies for the 30% fat reduction and 25% muscle increase averages. Some clients extend to 6–8 sessions for enhanced results. Single sessions are available for those who want to experience the treatment before committing to a series.
-
Most clients describe the sensation as intense but tolerable — similar to a very deep, sustained muscle contraction with warmth. The HIFEM contractions are unusual (not painful) because your nervous system has no frame of reference for them. The RF heat creates a warming sensation that most clients find comfortable. There is no downtime.
-
EmSculpt NEO is FDA-cleared and appropriate for most adults. It is particularly well-suited for clients who want to address fat and muscle simultaneously, those with abdominal separation (diastasis recti), clients with pelvic floor concerns, and those who want a treatment that supports lymphatic function alongside aesthetic results. It is not appropriate during pregnancy. We recommend a consultation if you have metal implants or specific health conditions.
-
Most body contouring devices address either fat or muscle — not both, and not simultaneously. CoolSculpting, for example, targets fat only, with no muscle activation. EmSculpt NEO is the only FDA-cleared device to reduce fat and build muscle in a single treatment, with the added benefit of deep lymphatic stimulation through the combination of RF warmth and forceful muscular contraction.
-
Fat cell apoptosis is permanent — eliminated cells do not return. Muscle gains respond to the same principles as exercise: they are maintained with activity and diminish without it. Most clients repeat their series annually or semi-annually to sustain and build on their results.
-
EmSculpt NEO can be applied to the abdomen, thighs, glutes, arms, and calves. Our campaign and clinical focus at Rhythm & Ritual centers on abdominal treatment, where the lymphatic benefit is most pronounced — but we treat all available areas based on individual goals.
