Emsculpt NEO is the latest version of the Emsculpt treatment system. This treatment system uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deep tissues below the surface of the skin to stimulate collagen production and reduce the appearance of unwanted fats and scars. The advantages of this system are that it can be used to treat a larger selection of areas (including those that are otherwise difficult to treat with traditional methods such as the face and neck) and it can be used on patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. However, like any other aesthetic treatment, there are certain risks involved with the use of Emsculpt NEO that should be understood before undergoing this type of treatment.
Like many other treatments, there are several risks associated with Emsculpt NEO. The following is a breakdown of the most common risks associated with the use of this device:
Bacterial infection - The use of RF energy can cause the formation of bacteria in the skin; this infection is sometimes called a microbial biofilm. The infections are usually treated with antibiotics, but they are not always easy to clear up and may leave a scar or mark if not treated properly.
Infection - As with bacterial infections, infections caused by the introduction of foreign materials into the body (such as during surgery) are another potential risk with Emsculpt NEO. The use of antibiotics is sometimes necessary to treat these infections.
Puncture wounds - Puncture wounds are another potential risk with Emsculpt NEO. These are wounds that occur when something goes through the skin and comes out the other side. They are generally caused when a sharp object, such as a needle, goes through the skin. These wounds can be very serious and may require surgery.
Deep tissue burns - Deep tissue burns are another potential risk with Emsculpt NEO. These burns are not always visible and may only appear after a long time has passed. Deep tissue burns can be caused when an excessive amount of energy is used to heat the deep tissues of the body.
Emsculpt NEO is a great option for those who want to reduce the appearance of unwanted fats and scars in their skin. The device uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deep tissues of the body, stimulating the production of collagen and reducing the appearance of excess fats that may have built up over time. However, it is important to understand the risks involved with this device so you can make an informed decision about whether or not to go through with the treatment.
