What's Emsculpt NEO, the Ab Toning Treatment Elsa Hosk Swears By?
October 20, 2022
Have you ever looked at supermodel Elsa Hosk and wondered, how does she get her stomach to look like that?
We definitely do. The Swedish supermodel, businesswoman, and mom is one of our major girl crushes. It’s no secret that the former Victoria’s Secret Angel has the toned abs and snatched waist we all want. And just a couple days ago, she revealed on her Instagram stories how she makes it happen, posting a photo of her abs with the text: “Pilates + good food + I swear by doing emsculpt neo at @lejoliespa after pregnancy every once in a while.”
Of course we all probably assumed that she was probably working out and eating wholesome, nutritious food that fuels her body. As a model, taking care of herself is literally a big part of her job! But she also let us know that Emsculpt NEO is a key part of keeping her body looking its best. You might be asking yourself, um, what’s Emsculpt NEO? Fortunately at Upkeep, treatments like Emsculpt NEO are our specialty. If you’re wondering what Emsculpt NEO is, how it works, and what it can do for you—keep reading.
What is Emsculpt NEO?
Emsculpt NEO is a non-invasive body sculpting treatment that works with electromagnetic technology and radiofrequency heat to build muscle, reduce fat, and tighten skin. It’s a three-in-one treatment that does not require any needles, knives or local anesthetic. This body sculpting treatment is a good option for most people, as it is effective for people with BMIs up to 35.
How does Emsculpt NEO for abs work?
Emsculpt NEO uses HIFEM (High Intensity Focused Electro-Magnetic) technology to trigger contractions in your muscles that are more intense than anything you could do in the gym. It combines that technology with radiofrequency heat, which destroys fat cells and tightens skin. So it tones your muscles while also slimming down unwanted fat and tightening loose skin–all at the same time! And average results are super impressive–fat is reduced by 30 percent and muscle is enlarged by 25 percent.
Treatment sessions last 30 minutes each and are spaced out about a week apart. Most people need about 6 treatments for optimal results. It’s pretty straightforward: your provider will fit the applicator on the treatment area, and they control and monitor the radiofrequency heat and electromagnetic pulses for the entire treatment time. There’s nothing you need to do to prepare and no downtime–you can immediately resume your daily routine.
Does Emsculpt NEO hurt?
By now you might be concerned that this whole thing sounds too good to be true. Better muscle definition, fat reduction, and tighter skin all at once? There must be a catch, right? Shouldn’t it hurt? But it really doesn’t. Even at the highest setting, Emsculpt NEO is pain-free. Sure, it feels pretty weird to have involuntary muscle contractions, and you’ll be sore in the treatment area afterwards, just like you would be after a hard workout. But the treatment itself is nothing to worry about. In fact, some people compare the heating sensation from the radiofrequency to a hot stone massage.
What other parts of the body or concerns can you use Emsculpt NEO on?
Abs are probably the most popular–and if you want Elsa Hosk abs, there’s no better MedSpa treatment for you. But Emsculpt NEO can also be used on the butt, thighs, and upper arms.
Emsculpt NEO also helps with muscle atrophy after surgery–you can opt to turn off the fat burning and skin-tightening function and just concentrate on building muscle. It makes sense that Elsa mentioned getting this treatment after pregnancy, as one of the concerns it treats is rectus muscle diastasis. That’s when the rectus muscles separate from the pressure of carrying a child, and after delivery they can stay separated. Emsculpt NEO is one of the only treatments out there that can help with this problem short of getting surgery. Plus pregnancy can cause loose skin on the abdomen, which Emsculpt NEO also treats.
Why does it matter that Elsa Hosk mentioned Emsculpt NEO?
We love that Elsa was honest about this treatment, because let’s be real—a lot of celebrities try to hide the MedSpa beauty treatments they get (we’re not going to side-eye anyone in particular but you’ve probably rolled your eyes at it, too.) Elsa’s transparency reminds us that even the most beautiful women in the world use MedSpa treatments like Emsculpt NEO to look and feel their best. And it reassures us “normal people” that there’s no shame in having a little professional help. When big names like Elsa talk about it, that helps ease the (totally sexist) stigma about getting beauty treatments.
