In this video Dr. Preema Vig, Medical Director of Dr. Preema London Clinic, provides a detailed overview of the non‑surgical body‑contouring device Emsculpt Neo. She explains that the system combines High‑Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM+) energy, which induces thousands of muscle contractions, with radiofrequency heating that targets sub‑cutaneous fat. Clinical studies are cited showing an average 25% increase in muscle thickness and a 30% reduction in fat after a typical course of 4–6 thirty‑minute sessions, most commonly applied to the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms. Dr. Vig emphasizes that results develop over weeks and require maintenance, and she stresses that the treatment is not a weight‑loss solution but a complement to exercise. The video also outlines the clinic’s broader, personalized approach to body contouring, including the use of Cutera’s TruFlex technology, which offers a different muscle‑stimulation method. She highlights the importance of individualized assessment based on body composition, muscle tone, and patient goals, drawing on her nearly 30 years of medical experience (23 in aesthetics). Dr. Vig shares that she is herself a regular patient of Emsculpt Neo, using it to maintain muscle tone, which adds credibility to her advocacy. The overall message is that advanced, non‑invasive technologies can effectively improve muscle definition and reduce localized fat when applied with clinical expertise and a bespoke treatment plan.

Dr. Preema explains Emsculpt Neo, building muscle and reducing fat without surgery. I'm Dr. Preema Vig, Medical Director of Dr. Preema London Clinic in Mayfair, London. One of the things I find particularly exciting about advances in medical aesthetics is our ability to improve body shape and muscle tone without surgery, and Emsculpt Neo is a perfect example of how far this technology has come. Emsculpt Neo from BTL Aesthetics is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that combines muscle building and fat reduction in a single session. It uses 2 technologies working together. The first is HIFEM+, which stands for High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Energy. This stimulates thousands of powerful muscle contractions, helping to strengthen and develop the underlying muscles. The second is radiofrequency energy, which gently heats the tissues to target localized fat. Clinical studies have reported an average 25% increase in muscle thickness and a 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat following a course of treatment. Of course, individual results vary, but it's an impressive example of what non-invasive technology can achieve Emsculpt Neo is particularly popular for the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms. For the abdomen, it can help improve muscle definition while reducing stubborn areas of fat. For the buttocks, it focuses on strengthening and developing the gluteal muscles, helping to create a firmer, more lifted appearance without injections or surgery. A typical treatment takes just 30 minutes, and we generally recommend a course of 4 to 6 sessions. There's little to no downtime, and results develop progressively over the following weeks, with maintenance treatments helping to sustain those improvements. But something I always emphasize is that choosing the right technology is only part of achieving a successful result. At Dr. Preema London Clinic, we have a particularly comprehensive approach to body contouring. Alongside Emsculpt Neo, we also offer Cutera's TruFlex, another advanced muscle sculpting technology. Both stimulate muscle contractions, but they work in different ways, allowing us to recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your body composition, muscle tone, and individual goals. And because we offer a wider range of advanced body treatments, we can also consider whether muscle sculpting, fat reduction, or skin tightening technologies should be combined as part of a carefully planned program. Our experienced medical aestheticians take time to assess each patient individually, rather than simply recommending the same treatment to everyone. With nearly 30 years of medical experience, including 23 years specializing in medical aesthetics, I have always believed that the best results come from understanding the patient first and choosing the technology second. And I should add that I'm a patient myself when it comes to Emsculpt Neo. I regularly have treatments on my abdomen and buttocks because maintaining muscle tone and strength is something I personally value, alongside exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Having experienced the treatment myself also gives me a greater understanding of what our patients can expect, both during their sessions and As their results develop. Of course, Emsculpt Neo isn't a weight loss treatment, and it doesn't replace regular exercise. But for suitable patients who want to improve muscle definition, strengthen targeted areas, and refine their body contours without surgery, it can be an excellent option. At Dr. Preema London Clinic in Mayfair, London, we believe that effective body contouring should never be a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether that's Emsculpt Neo, TruFlex, or a bespoke combination of treatments, our focus is always on choosing what's right for you. Because ultimately, it's not just about having access to advanced technology, it's about having the clinical experience, expertise, and understanding to use it intelligently.
