Emsculpt

Question 1

What 2 things does the Emsculpt Neo do?

Answer 1

Eliminate fat cells and build muscle non-invasively.

Question 2

What does radio frequency(RF) do?

Answer 2

Heats the adipose tissue for fat elimination.

Question 3

What is HIFEM?

Answer 3

High intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation

Question 4

What is HIFEM used for?

Answer 4

Muscle strengthening and toning

Question 5

Is Emsculpt FDA cleared?

Answer 5

Yes

Question 6

What are the most important Neo stats?

Answer 6

Decrease fat 30%
Build muscle 25%
Decrease visceral fat 17-18%
Visceral fat is most dangerous

Question 7

How many weeks of HIIT training is Neo equivalent to?

Answer 7

12-16

Question 8

RF creates an environment for…

Answer 8

Muscle to thrive and fat to die.

Question 9

How does RF work?

Answer 9

Creates electric fields with changing poles(-/+). Makes current molecules play ping pong (between skin and muscle, through the fat between them) and heat up!

Question 10

Fat has the highest resistance to RF and lowest conductivity because…

Answer 10

It has the least amount of water

Question 11

Name the tissue layers

Answer 11

Top: Skin
Middle: fat
Bottom: muscle

Question 12

What layer gets the hottest?

Answer 12

Fat: 43-45 degrees Celsius. Hot enough for apoptosis(fat cell death).

Question 13

What is apoptosis?

Answer 13

Programmed cell death!

Question 14

How deep can RF goes?
Does it reach organs?

Answer 14

7 cm
No, will get to muscles and bounce back. Organs are way too deep.

Question 15

Name some muscles benefits of RF heating.

Answer 15

1. Enhanced blood flow: faster growth and regeneration
2. Heat shock proteins come to area: better hypertrophy
3. Increased comfort: preheated muscles reach higher contractions in shorter time

Question 16

How can HIFEM produce supramaximal contractions?

Answer 16

Electric currents bypass the brain to fully activate motor neurons.

Question 17

Best results take how long?

Answer 17

90 days! Fat cells are being eliminated and can take 12 weeks for body to dispose them via lymphatic system.

Question 18

What kind of contractions occur during treatment?

Answer 18

Supramaximal

Question 19

What temperature does fat apoptosis occur at?

Answer 19

43-45 degrees

Question 20

Neo is FDA cleared to…

Answer 20

Strengthen, firm and tone!

Question 21

Muscle contraction percentages for general population, athletes, and Neo patients.

Answer 21

Average joe: 30-40%
Elite athletes: 60-70%
Neo patients: 100%

Question 22

Why shouldn’t patients move applicators?

Answer 22

It’s a class 2 medical device that can cause blisters or burns.

Question 23

What percent do you start treatment at? Should I turn up intensity during warm up period?

Answer 23

20-25 percent.
No, once’s the tap tap tap starts, you are now in muscle warm up period and should wait to increase intensity!

Question 24

Two phrases when asking about paddle placement.

Answer 24

Does this feel even?
Does this feel secure?

Question 25

Ideal hydration for patients?

Answer 25

55% for men
45% for women
No less than 50% or 40%!
