At Storm Wellness Northwest, a division of Hey Sister Spa in Vancouver, WA, we’re all about empowering clients to look and feel their best with the most advanced non-invasive treatments available. One of the most transformative solutions we offer is Emsculpt NEO—a groundbreaking body sculpting technology that burns fat and builds muscle at the same time. Whether you’re looking to tone your abs, lift your glutes, or slim your thighs, Emsculpt NEO helps you achieve real, visible results—without surgery or downtime.
If you’re exploring modern body contouring treatments, this guide will walk you through how Emsculpt NEO works, what to expect, who it’s for, and why Storm Wellness Northwest is the premier destination in Vancouver, WA for non-invasive body sculpting.
What Is Emsculpt NEO?
Emsculpt NEO is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive body contouring device that simultaneously targets muscle and fat using a powerful combination of:
- High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy
- Radiofrequency (RF) heating
These two modalities work together to deliver dual results: increased muscle mass and reduced fat. In fact, clinical studies have shown that Emsculpt NEO can lead to an average of 25% more muscle and a 30% reduction in fat in the treated area after a full treatment series.
How Does Emsculpt NEO Work?
Emsculpt NEO uses a two-in-one approach to sculpt and define your body:
1. HIFEM Energy for Muscle Building
The HIFEM energy triggers thousands of supramaximal muscle contractions—far more than what your body can achieve through voluntary exercise. These intense contractions stimulate deep remodeling of muscle tissue, causing fibers to grow stronger and thicker.
2. RF Heating for Fat Reduction
At the same time, the radiofrequency component gently heats the subcutaneous fat layer to around 42–45°C (107–113°F). This temperature is optimal for causing fat cells to break down and die off—a process known as apoptosis. Over the next few weeks, your body naturally eliminates these damaged fat cells.
Together, these technologies create stronger, leaner, more sculpted muscle groups while reducing stubborn fat pockets—making Emsculpt NEO the only body contouring treatment that delivers both fat loss and muscle gain in one session.
What Areas Can Emsculpt NEO Treat?
Emsculpt NEO is versatile and FDA-cleared to treat multiple body areas, including:
- Abdomen – Strengthen your core and trim your waistline
- Buttocks – Lift and firm without surgery
- Thighs – Tone and sculpt inner or outer thighs
- Arms – Define biceps and triceps
- Calves – Build lean muscle for more symmetry
At Storm Wellness Northwest, we can tailor your Emsculpt NEO sessions to focus on the areas that matter most to you.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Emsculpt NEO?
Emsculpt NEO is ideal for individuals who:
- Are near their target weight but want to tighten and tone specific areas
- Have stubborn fat that resists diet and exercise
- Are looking to build muscle mass without hitting the gym
- Want a non-surgical, no-downtime alternative to liposuction or implants
- Are postpartum moms looking to rebuild core strength
It’s safe for most healthy adults, but a consultation at Storm Wellness Northwest is the best way to determine if you’re a candidate.
What to Expect During a Treatment Session
When you arrive at Storm Wellness Northwest in Vancouver, WA, our certified providers will guide you through the entire process.
Here’s what a typical Emsculpt NEO session looks like:
- Initial Consultation
We assess your goals, take baseline measurements, and discuss a custom plan for your target areas. - Treatment Setup
You’ll lie comfortably while applicators are secured to the treatment area. No anesthesia or numbing is required. - Treatment Begins
In about 30 minutes, you’ll feel intense muscle contractions along with a warming sensation. It’s not painful—most clients describe it as a “weird workout” or “muscle massage.” - Post-Treatment
There’s no downtime. You may feel sore like you’ve done a tough workout, but you can return to your normal activities immediately.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
For optimal results, most clients undergo a series of 4 treatments, spaced about 5–10 days apart. However, depending on your starting point and goals, we may recommend maintenance sessions or additional cycles.
At Storm Wellness Northwest, your provider will personalize your schedule based on your body composition and desired outcome.
Emsculpt NEO Results
You may notice improved muscle tone and firmness within a few weeks, with fat reduction results typically visible after about 8–12 weeks as your body naturally flushes out the destroyed fat cells.
In clinical studies, Emsculpt NEO has shown:
- 25% increase in muscle volume
- 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat
- 19% reduction in abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
These numbers are real—and our clients at Storm Wellness Northwest continue to experience similar results after completing their treatment plans.
Emsculpt NEO vs. Traditional Workouts
While Emsculpt NEO isn’t a replacement for a healthy lifestyle, it offers an advantage that traditional workouts simply can’t match.
Here’s why:
- One 30-minute session is equivalent to 20,000 sit-ups or squats
- It targets deep muscles that are difficult to engage during workouts
- You gain muscle without putting strain on joints
- Fat loss is targeted, unlike general cardio-based fat burning
Whether you’re short on time or want to enhance your fitness results, Emsculpt NEO is an efficient and safe way to level up your body goals.
Combining Emsculpt NEO with Other Wellness Treatments
At Hey Sister Spa’s Storm Wellness Northwest location, we take a holistic approach to body and skin care. For even more dramatic results, many of our clients combine Emsculpt NEO with:
- AdvaTX Laser treatments – To treat acne, redness, and skin aging
- Skin tightening treatments – For improved skin laxity after fat loss
- Nutrition guidance – To support fat metabolism and energy levels
- IV therapy or wellness consults – For a whole-body boost
