Understanding Your Body Sculpting Options

Body sculpting technology has advanced rapidly, and there are now more non-invasive options than ever. Here’s a comparison of the leading devices to help you make an informed decision.

CoolSculpting

Technology: Cryolipolysis, which freezes and destroys fat cells.

Best For: Reducing localized fat deposits. FDA-approved with generally positive patient satisfaction, though individual experiences vary.

EmSculpt

Technology: High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy for muscle building.

Best For: Building and toning muscles. FDA-cleared with generally positive reviews for muscle definition.

EmSculpt NEO

Technology: Combines HIFEM and radiofrequency for simultaneous muscle building and fat reduction.

Best For: Patients wanting dual functionality—targeting both muscle and fat for body contouring.

EmTone

Technology: Combines radiofrequency and targeted pressure energy.

Best For: Addressing cellulite by tightening and smoothing the skin. FDA-cleared.

PHYSIQ

Technology: RF (Radiofrequency) and PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) for body contouring and skin tightening.

Best For: Targeting both fat and skin laxity simultaneously. This is one of our go-to devices at TREVI for patients on GLP-1 medications who need to preserve muscle while losing weight.

Venus Legacy
