Emsculpt Neo®

Emsculpt Neo is made by BTL Industries, a medical device company that also makes Emface, Emsella and Exion. In one applicator it combines two energies at the same time: HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) pulses that make the muscle underneath contract repeatedly, and radiofrequency energy that warms the fat layer above it. The device is used on the abdomen and on areas such as the buttocks, thighs, calves and arms as a noninvasive alternative to surgery for people who want help with muscle tone and localized fat. It was brought to the U.S. market as a combination of BTL's earlier Emsculpt (muscle stimulation only) and a fat-heating radiofrequency function, and industry reporting places its original FDA clearance and U.S. launch around 2019 to 2020, though sources are not consistent on the exact year. In October 2024, BTL announced additional FDA clearance for the same device for musculoskeletal rehabilitation uses, such as preventing disuse atrophy after injury or surgery, rather than purely cosmetic toning. It differs from BTL's original Emsculpt (electromagnetic muscle stimulation only, no radiofrequency) and from Exion (radiofrequency and ultrasound, with no electromagnetic muscle stimulation).
