EMSCULPT NEO already delivers incredible body contouring results—but did you know it has health benefits, too?
Artemedica is excited to announce that after multiple clinical studies, EmSculpt NEO is officially FDA-cleared for functional wellness treatments! This groundbreaking upgrade makes EmSculpt the first of its kind to not only transform your appearance but also your physical wellness.
Whether you’re looking to improve joint function, relax painful muscle spasms, or prevent muscle loss post-surgery, EmSculpt NEO offers clinically proven solutions to help you recover with confidence.
In this blog, we explore how the functional wellness benefits of EmSculpt NEO can help you feel amazing from the inside out.
What Is EmSculpt NEO?

EMSCULPT NEO® is a non-invasive treatment that reduces fat and builds muscle mass at the same time—no anesthesia or downtime required.
By combining advanced radio-frequency (RF) heat with high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy, it eliminates unwanted fat cells while triggering muscle contractions to improve strength, tone, and definition.
EmSculpt NEO is cleared to treat the following areas:
On average, EmSculpt NEO increases muscle mass by 25% and reduces unwanted fat in targeted areas by up to 30%. Essentially, you get the benefits of weeks of exercise in just about 30 minutes!
But that’s not all. EmSculpt NEO is now FDA-cleared to support muscle and joint function!
EmSculpt NEO FDA Cleared for Muscle and Joint Wellness

For years, men and women around the nation have used EmSculpt NEO to reduce stubborn fat and build muscle. Now, this revolutionary procedure is FDA-cleared to support muscle and joint function in the arms and legs, improving comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
With the new FDA clearance, EmSculpt NEO can help with:
It’s the perfect complement to physical therapy, non-invasive, and each session only takes 30 MINUTES!
EmSculpt NEO for Muscle Function

How can EmSculpt NEO improve muscle function? Orthopedic researchers explored this question in a groundbreaking clinical study—and the results were nothing short of amazing!
The study involved 32 participants between ages 32 and 83, who all had atrophied muscles due to surgery, injury, or inactivity. They were divided into two groups: an active treatment group that got the real treatment, and a sham group that received false treatment.
The active group was treated with four 30-minute EmSculpt NEO sessions. And the results were remarkable!
This study emphasizes how EmSculpt NEO goes beyond aesthetics to offer tangible, life-changing benefits for muscle function.
EmSculpt NEO for Joint Function

If EmSculpt NEO can provide such transformative benefits for your muscles, can it do the same for your joints? The answer is yes!
In another clinical study, researchers explored how EmSculpt NEO can enhance joint health and mobility in individuals with musculoskeletal issues. It involved 31 patients with different joint conditions, ranging from ages 23 and 78.
They were treated with four 30-minute sessions of EmSculpt NEO, and these were the results:
These results showcase how EmSculpt NEO offers so much more than body nonsurgical contouring alone. It’s also a game-changer for joint function that can significantly elevate quality of life.
7 Functional Wellness Benefits of EmSculpt NEO

The clinical trials say it all: EmSculpt NEO works wonders for improving muscle and joint function. Below, we take a closer look at some of the potential functional wellness benefits of EmSculpt NEO.
1. Strengthen Muscles After Surgery or Injury
Surgery or injury rehabilitation can be a long and challenging process. Many patients experience significant muscle loss (atrophy) during recovery because they’re unable to use certain parts of their body for weeks, or even years. This makes it even more difficult to regain the muscle tone and function they had before.
EmSculpt NEO offers a no-impact, no-workout solution to address atrophy and restore lost muscle strength. In just one 30-minute session, it stimulates muscle contractions equivalent to weeks of exercise—all while you relax in one of our treatment rooms.
2. Prevent Disuse Muscle Atrophy
EmSculpt NEO doesn’t just address muscle atrophy—it can help prevent it, too! After surgery or an injury, many patients are unable to exercise for extended periods of time, resulting in muscle loss. Once the atrophy happens, it can be even harder to regain strength.
EmSculpt NEO is a proactive way to maintain muscle strength and function during periods of inactivity—without the need for intense exercise. By keeping your muscles stimulated during the recovery process, it can prevent disuse atrophy before it even happens.
3. Address Age-Related Muscle Loss (Sarcopenia)
Our muscles naturally deteriorate as we age, an effect commonly known as sarcopenia. Muscle mass decreases about 3-8% each decade after age 30, and this rate is even higher after age 603.
EmSculpt NEO can help address age-related muscle loss by improving muscle strength and joint function. This can help you feel stronger, maintain mobility, and stay active, so you can continue enjoying the activities you love—no matter what stage of life you’re in.
4. Ease Muscle Spasms and Tension
Muscle spasms are sudden, painful, and unpredictable. Whether it’s a cramp in your calf or tension in your back, they can disrupt your daily life and keep you from participating in your favorite activities.
EmSculpt NEO relaxes overworked muscles and relieves discomfort through deep, targeted muscle contractions. This soothes tightness and reduces spasms so you can move more freely and get back to doing what you love, without interruptions.
5. Increase Range of Motion
A good range of motion is key for balance, flexibility, physical independence, and can even reduce your risk of injury. EmSculpt NEO helps your body move more efficiently by targeting stiff or weakened areas, making it easier to perform daily tasks and physical activities. In fact, 83% of participants in clinical studies reported improved range of motion after just four EmSculpt NEO sessions2!
6. Improve Blood Circulation
Blood flow is one of the most important bodily functions. It helps carry fresh oxygen and essential nutrients to all parts of the body and also plays an active role in waste management. EmSculpt NEO stimulates powerful contractions that boost blood circulation naturally, leading to quicker recovery times, reduced soreness after workouts, and better overall tissue health.
7. Reduce the Risk of Blood Clots
After surgery, injury, or any period of inactivity, there is often a major risk of venous thrombosis, a condition caused by blood clots. Since EmSculpt NEO helps improve circulation, it can help prevent venous thrombosis and keep your blood flowing healthily.
