How EMSCULPT NEO® Reverses a Sagging Butt—Without Eliminating Fat

The Challenge: Sagging, Flattening, and Loss of Lift

Over time, many people notice their buttocks begin to lose shape, firmness, and lift. This happens due to a combination of muscle atrophy, collagen loss, and skin laxity—not necessarily excess fat. In fact, reducing fat in the gluteal area can actually make the butt appear flatter or more saggy.

At our office located in Midtown Manhattan, we use EMSCULPT NEO® to restore tone, volume, and lift naturally—without surgery, needles, or downtime.

The Science: Smart RF and HIFEM+® Synergy

Unlike traditional body-contouring devices, EMSCULPT NEO® tailors its energy output to each body region.
For the buttocks, it uses a custom protocol designed to strengthen muscle and tighten skin— not to destroy fat cells.

How it works:

1. HIFEM+® Energy (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic)
   Triggers thousands of supramaximal contractions that rebuild and tone the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus, stimulating both muscle hypertrophy (growth) and hyperplasia (new fiber creation).
   Studies show an average 25% increase in muscle volume after just four 30-minute sessions.

2. Radiofrequency (RF) Heating for Muscle & Skin
   During a gluteal session, the tissue temperature rises to about 42 °C (107.6 °F)—ideal for:

   • Activating heat-shock proteins that promote new muscle fiber development

   • Stimulating collagen and elastin production for smoother, tighter skin

   This temperature does not damage fat cells—preserving natural fullness while firming the underlying structure.

Why Preserving Gluteal Fat Matters

A lifted, youthful shape depends on the right balance between muscle tone, skin elasticity, and natural fat volume.
Destroying gluteal fat would actually worsen sagging. EMSCULPT NEO® avoids this by focusing entirely on muscle strengthening and dermal tightening, resulting in a firm, rounded, and naturally enhanced appearance.

Visible Lifting and Firming—No Surgery, No Downtime

After a typical four-session protocol, patients notice:

• A rounder, lifted shape

• Improved tone and definition

• Tighter skin and smoother texture

• A youthful contour that looks natural in and out of clothing

You can resume normal activities right away— no pain, no bruising, no recovery time.
