EMSCULPT neo in San Diego

Body Sculpting

Build muscle. Burn fat. Zero downtime.

The only FDA-cleared body treatment that builds muscle and reduces fat in the same 30-minute session — non-invasive, non-surgical.

Overview

What to know before you book.

EMSCULPT neo combines high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy with radiofrequency (RF) heating. In one 30-minute session, treated muscles perform roughly 20,000 supramaximal contractions while the fat layer above them is warmed and reduced.

The typical course is four 30-minute sessions spaced about a week apart. There's no downtime — patients often return straight to work or a workout. Published studies report approximately 30% fat reduction and 25% muscle growth in treated areas over the treatment course; your individual response will vary.

It's a good fit for patients who are already close to their goal but want more definition in the abdomen, glutes, arms, thighs, or calves — and for patients on a medical weight-loss program looking to add tone as the weight comes off.

FAQ

Common questions.

Most patients complete a series of about four 30-minute sessions spaced roughly a week apart, then consider maintenance sessions as needed.

EMSCULPT neo is best for patients who are relatively close to their goal weight and want more definition. It is not a weight-loss treatment on its own — Dr. Dalhoumi will help you decide if it's the right fit.

Yes — many patients pair EMSCULPT neo with a GLP-1 program to sharpen muscle tone as they lose fat. We'll design the sequencing so both work together.
