The buttocks are a muscle area for EMsculpt NEO: it is FDA-cleared in the US for strengthening, toning and firming the buttocks, and the result is a firmer, more toned bottom from a thicker gluteal muscle. It does not reduce fat on the buttocks; that is not what the clearance covers. Four 30-minute sessions, back to your day after each, at Chelsea Clinic from £100 per session with the course price in writing at a free consultation.
What it does on the buttocks
The large applicators strapped over each buttock make the gluteal muscles contract in strong, rapid pulses through the 30-minute session with HIFEM energy, at an intensity squats cannot reach, while synchronised radiofrequency heats the tissue. The muscle thickens with repetition, and the bottom firms and tones. In our experience people come for a flat bottom or one that has lost tone with age or weight loss.
What the study measured
In a 2023 study of the buttocks with four sessions, the gluteal muscle was about 25% thicker with the combined energies against about 16% with the muscle energy alone, measured in 27 patients per group at three months.
Who it suits
Someone whose bottom has lost tone, of any skin type: the buttocks are a muscle-toning area, so the skin-type limits of the fat clearance do not apply. It builds muscle; it does not add fat or volume the way a surgical lift does, and it does not treat cellulite. The thighs are often treated with it, in the same course.

The course and the result
Four sessions about a week apart, 30 minutes each, back to your day, the glutes sore for a day or two as after a hard leg day. In our experience the first change shows two to four weeks after the last session, the result measured at three months, and in our experience a single session every three to six months keeps the tone; keep training and it holds longer. The sessions page sets out the course.
