Emsculpt Neo Body Contouring in Houston & The Woodlands | SkinLab by Dr. Roth
FDA-Cleared Muscle Building & Fat Reduction — Without Surgery
SkinLab by Dr. Roth offers Emsculpt Neo® body contouring at our Houston River Oaks and The Woodlands medspa locations. Emsculpt Neo is the only FDA-cleared non-surgical treatment that simultaneously builds muscle and reduces fat — without surgery, needles, or downtime.
What Is Emsculpt Neo?
Emsculpt Neo combines two technologies in a single 30-minute session:
- HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) energy — induces powerful supramaximal muscle contractions that cannot be achieved through voluntary exercise. Each session is equivalent to approximately 20,000 muscle contractions.
- Radiofrequency (RF) energy — heats subdermal fat to a temperature that causes permanent fat cell elimination.
Clinical studies demonstrate an average of 25% more muscle mass and 30% less fat after a series of four treatments. Emsculpt Neo is FDA-cleared for the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, arms, and calves.
Treatment Areas
- Abdomen — strengthen core muscles, reduce belly fat, define abs
- Buttocks — non-surgical butt lift, tone and lift without augmentation
- Thighs — inner and outer thigh toning and fat reduction
- Arms — bicep and tricep strengthening, reduce arm fat
- Calves — calf definition and muscle tone
What to Expect
A standard Emsculpt Neo protocol is 4 sessions, each 30 minutes, spaced 2–3 days apart. During treatment you will feel intense — but painless — muscle contractions and a warm sensation from the RF energy. There is no downtime. Results develop over 2–3 months as muscle remodeling and fat elimination progress, with optimal results visible at the 3-month mark.
Emsculpt Neo vs. Morpheus8 Body
Both Emsculpt Neo and Morpheus8 Body are non-surgical body contouring treatments available at SkinLab, but they address different concerns:
| Emsculpt Neo | Morpheus8 Body | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary goal | Build muscle + reduce fat | Tighten skin + remodel tissue |
| Technology | HIFEM + RF | Fractional microneedling + RF |
| Best for | Muscle tone, fat reduction | Skin laxity, loose skin |
| Downtime | None | 1–3 days mild redness |
| Sessions | 4 sessions | 1–3 sessions |
Many SkinLab patients combine both: Emsculpt Neo to build muscle and reduce fat, and Morpheus8 Body to tighten the overlying skin for a more comprehensive result.

Frequently Asked Questions: Emsculpt Neo in Houston
What is Emsculpt Neo?
Emsculpt Neo is an FDA-cleared non-surgical body contouring treatment that simultaneously builds muscle and reduces fat using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy and Radiofrequency (RF) energy. It is available at SkinLab by Dr. Roth in Houston River Oaks and The Woodlands.
How many Emsculpt Neo sessions do I need?
A standard Emsculpt Neo protocol is 4 sessions, each 30 minutes, spaced 2–3 days apart. Some patients benefit from additional sessions depending on their goals. Your SkinLab provider will recommend a personalized plan at your consultation.
Is Emsculpt Neo painful?
Emsculpt Neo is not painful. You will feel intense muscle contractions — similar to an intense workout — and a warming sensation from the RF energy. There is no downtime; most patients return to normal activity immediately.
How long do Emsculpt Neo results last?
Results develop over 2–3 months as muscle remodeling and fat elimination progress. With a healthy lifestyle, results can last 6–12 months or longer. Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months are recommended to sustain muscle tone.
Who is a good candidate for Emsculpt Neo?
Emsculpt Neo is ideal for patients close to their goal weight who want to improve muscle tone and reduce stubborn fat that does not respond to diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss treatment. Patients with metal implants or pacemakers are not candidates.
What is the difference between Emsculpt Neo and CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting targets fat only using controlled cooling. Emsculpt Neo simultaneously builds muscle and reduces fat using HIFEM + RF energy. Emsculpt Neo is the only non-surgical treatment that addresses both muscle tone and fat reduction in one session.
Can I combine Emsculpt Neo with Morpheus8 Body?
Yes. Emsculpt Neo builds muscle and reduces fat while Morpheus8 Body tightens skin and remodels subdermal tissue. Many SkinLab patients combine both for comprehensive body contouring — stronger muscle tone with tighter overlying skin.
