Emsculpt Classic vs. Emsculpt NEO: Which is Right for You?

At Kind Health Group, we’re committed to helping you achieve your body sculpting goals with the latest and most effective technologies. If you’ve been exploring non-invasive body contouring treatments, you’ve likely come across Emsculpt Classic and Emsculpt NEO. Both are revolutionary devices designed to tone muscles and reduce fat, but what sets them apart? Here’s a detailed comparison to help you decide which treatment aligns with your goals.

What is Emsculpt Classic?
Emsculpt Classic is the original body sculpting device that introduced the world to HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology. By delivering intense, muscle-contracting energy, it simulates the effects of 20,000 crunches, squats, or other targeted exercises in just one 30-minute session.

Key Benefits of Emsculpt Classic:
  • Muscle Toning: Builds muscle in areas like the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and legs.
  • Non-Invasive: No surgery or downtime required.
  • Quick Treatments: Sessions are typically 30 minutes.
  • Pain-Free: Feels like an intense workout without the sweat.

While Emsculpt Classic focuses solely on muscle building, it’s an excellent choice for individuals already close to their ideal body weight but looking to add definition and strength.

What is Emsculpt NEO?
Emsculpt NEO takes the innovative muscle-building technology of the Classic and levels it up by incorporating radiofrequency (RF) energy. This dual-action device simultaneously tones muscles and reduces fat, making it a more comprehensive solution for body contouring.

Key Benefits of Emsculpt NEO:
  • Fat Reduction: The RF energy heats the fat cells, leading to an average of 30% fat reduction in the treated area.
  • Muscle Building: Similar to the Classic, it delivers HIFEM energy for intense muscle contractions.
  • Dual Treatment: Targets both fat and muscle in a single session.
  • Suitable for More Body Types: With the added fat-reduction capability, Emsculpt NEO works well for individuals with a BMI of up to 35.
How to Choose Between Emsculpt Classic and Emsculpt NEO
Choose Emsculpt Classic if you’re focused solely on building and toning muscle. This is ideal for individuals who are already lean but want to enhance their muscle definition.
Choose Emsculpt NEO if you want a dual benefit of fat reduction and muscle building. It’s especially effective for individuals looking to target stubborn fat while simultaneously toning their muscles.

Sabrina Falquier started crying at a medical conference in Napa. Not because something went wrong, but because something finally felt right. After years of seeing 18 patients a day in 15-minute slots, checking all the boxes of a successful medical career while feeling like something was missing, she found herself at Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives—a collaboration between Harvard School of Public Health and the Culinary Institute of America. The keynote speaker started talking, and tears came. One shoulder whispered all the possibilities. The other shoulder reminded her of all the reasons she couldn't pursue them. By day two and a half, she realized something that changed everything: her current employer was just that—her current employer. Not her destiny. Now triple board-certified in internal medicine, culinary medicine, and lifestyle medicine, Sabrina has built a career teaching medical students, consulting with community organizations like Olivewood Gardens, and showing people that the most powerful medicine might already be sitting in their pantry. This conversation wanders through the deeply personal terrain of leaving the medical highway for the frontage road, the science behind why plants matter so much, and the quiet courage it takes to listen when something inside you says "there has to be more than this." Key Moments & Takeaways 00:00 - 07:03 | The Conference That Changed Everything Sabrina shares the moment she knew she had to leave traditional primary care. Spoiler: it involved crying at a medical conference and realizing her employer wasn't her destiny. 07:03 - 15:22 | What Actually Is Culinary Medicine The definition that matters: using food and nutrition to prevent and treat disease through hands-on learning. Medical students cooking in kitchens. Communities learning that canned tomatoes still count. Evidence-based nutrition that doesn't require a Whole Foods budget. 1 5:22 - 24:36 | The Plant Kingdom Revolution Why plants matter beyond fiber and nutrients. Phytochemicals, polyphenols, and the compounds that actually make your cells work better. The science behind eating the rainbow (and no, Skittles don't count). 24:36 - 32:15 | Teaching the Next Generation Medical students learning to cook. Teenagers at Olivewood Gardens discovering that healthy food can taste incredible. The ripple effect of planting seeds with future doctors who will actually talk about food with their patients. 32:15 - 40:48 | Making It Work in Real Life The pantry strategy when you haven't been to the grocery store. Why frozen and canned vegetables are completely legitimate. How to think about food when your schedule is chaotic and your budget is real. 40:48 - 49:07 | Rancho La Puerta & What's Next Sabrina's work at the iconic wellness resort in Tecate, Mexico. Teaching in their kitchen. Her husband rediscovering his humanity there during the pandemic. The place where boot camp and hammocks coexist. 49:07 - 54:25 | Following the Pull The scary, beautiful reality of going off the linear path. No regrets. Financial instability sometimes. The practice of saying yes to mission-aligned opportunities and no to everything else. An invitation to listen to what's calling you next.
