EmSculpt NEO vs. CoolSculpting: Which Fat Loss Treatment is Better?
Post-pandemic most of us have “a few extra pounds” we would like to get rid of. In fact, according to WebMD: “Nearly half of U.S. adults piled on excess pounds during the first year of the pandemic.” But now that things are getting back to normal, few people have the time to go to the gym or the motivation to diet.
The good news for patients in the Englewood and Tenafly, NJ area is that revolutionary new fat loss and muscle building treatments are available at Better U that can help you “get your body back” – without diet or exercise.
Better U Medical Spa actually offers SEVEN different fat loss and muscle building treatments – more than any other provider in the Tenafly, NJ area. These include: CoolSculpting Elite; AccuFit Muscle Building; BodyTite Liposuction; JuvaShape; SculpSure; and exciting new Emsculpt NEO.
In this article the body sculpting experts at Better U Medical Spa in the Tenafly, NJ area compare two of our most popular fat loss and muscle building treatments: CoolSculpting Elite and Emsculpt NEO.
NEW: CoolSculpting ELITE DUAL
When discussing CoolSculpting – one of the first non-invasive fat loss treatments on the market – it’s important to understand that CoolSculpting has come a long way since it was first FDA approved for treating fat on the sides in 2010, and on the stomach in 2012.
New CoolSculpting “Elite Dual” takes CoolSculpting’s fat freezing technology to the next level. CoolSculpting “Elite Dual” is faster, more effective, and has the ability to treat more areas than any other nonsurgical fat reduction device. CoolSculpting Elite Dual now utilizes multiple custom applicators that allow for up to 18% more tissue contact, more suction, more even cooling, and faster treatment times.
So, if you are considering CoolSculpting, make sure your Med Spa offers new CoolSculpting “Elite Dual” and not just the older generation of CoolSculpting.
Is CoolSculpting ELITE DUAL Right for Me?
CoolSculpting ELITE DUAL is FDA approved to remove fat from 9 areas of the body:
- abdomen,
- flanks (“love handles”),
- inner thighs & outer thighs,
- upper arms,
- under the butt,
- bra rolls & back fat,
- submental fat (under the chin), and
- submandibular (around the jaw and neck).
In some cases, Dr. Gor can also utilize CoolSculpting ELITE DUAL to remove fat from the:
- male chest area, and
- pubic mound.
CoolSculpting ELITE DUAL can remove up to 25% of the fat in a treated area. The FDA clearance for most body areas is patients with a BMI score below 30 – except for the double chin area, where the BMI score is recommended to be below 43.
But BMI alone isn’t the only consideration. If a patient has a BMI above 30, but desires to target or spot-treat a “trouble spot” – like the chin, bra line, or upper arms – CoolSculpting is often still a good fit!
Other Benefits of CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is non-invasive, so there is no anesthetic needed, no incisions, no downtime, and treatments only take about an hour.
CoolSculpting ELITE DUAL is ideal for patients with good to fair skin elasticity. CoolSculpting has some mild skin tightening abilities. But if you already have loose skin, the fat loss of CoolSculpting can make the skin appear even more loose.
Patients with loose skin have two options:
#1. They can pair CoolSculpting with one of our other amazing skin tightening treatments, OR
#2. They can opt for Emsculpt NEO, which has a skin tightening component built in.
While CoolSculpting ELITE DUAL is an amazing fat loss procedure, it does not have a muscle building component. Patients who wish to combine fat loss with muscle building have two options:
#1. They can pair CoolSculpting with one of our other amazing muscle building treatments, OR
#2. They can opt for Emsculpt NEO, which has a muscle building component built in.
NEW Emsculpt NEO
For patients who wish to reduce fat AND simultaneously build muscle and/or tighten skin, Emsculpt NEO at Better U Medical Spa in the Tenafly, NJ area is ideal.
Emsculpt NEO is the first and only non-invasive body contouring treatment that provides simultaneous fat reduction, muscle building and skin tightening – all in a single 30-minute procedure. Emsculpt NEO simultaneously combines radiofrequency and high intensity electromagnetic energy – for fat-loss, muscle growth and skin tightening in a single treatment.
Emsculpt NEO is FDA-cleared for the breakdown of fat and reduction in waist circumference, in the abdominal area.
Emsculpt NEO is also FDA approved to treat muscles in the:
- abdomen,
- buttocks,
- arms,
- calves, and
- legs.
Is Emsculpt NEO DUAL Right for Me?
Emsculpt NEO can treat patients with a BMI as high as 35 – which is higher than CoolSculpting and most other non-invasive fat loss treatments. In clinical studies, Emsculpt NEO has been shown to reduce fat deposits by up to 30%, while gaining up to 25% more muscle.
Emsculpt NEO has NOT been approved for use on the back, chin or flanks (sides / love handles / muffin tops). This is because the Emsculpt NEO applicators aren’t designed to be used on these areas and therefore won’t fit correctly. Patients whose primary area of concern is the “love handles,” back / bra fat, or chin/neck fat should consider CoolSculpting for fat loss instead.
However, amazingly, Emsculpt NEO is the only treatment that can also treat “visceral fat” (fat beneath the muscle) AND “diastasis recti” (distended abdominal muscle). This makes it ideal for women after childbirth, menopausal women, and anyone else with “untreatable” fat under the ab muscles. A recent study, published in February 2021, revealed that Emsculpt’s HIFEM technology effectively reduced visceral abdominal fat by 14%!
