Sore legs after work? Tight shoulders from lifting the kids or shoveling snow? That kind of daily strain adds up fast. At CATARA Med Spa in Algonquin, IL, we help people bounce back from the everyday grind with a simple, non-invasive treatment: Muscle Recovery with Emsculpt Neo.

Emsculpt Neo is a non-invasive treatment that uses state-of-the-art Emsculpt Neo technology to deliver supramaximal muscle contractions and promote faster recovery. Whether you want to rebuild muscle, reduce soreness, or just move better, Emsculpt Neo can support your goals.

This service isn’t just for athletes or gym rats. It’s for teachers who stand all day, parents chasing toddlers, weekend yard warriors, and anyone who just feels… worn out. Folks from Crystal Lake, IL to Lake in the Hills, IL come see us when their bodies are just over it. And they leave feeling lighter, stronger, and more themselves again.

What Is Emsculpt Neo?

Emsculpt Neo combines two powerful energies: radiofrequency for fat reduction and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy for muscle stimulation. In other words, it warms the body to help reduce fat and then uses powerful muscle contractions to build muscle and burn fat in one easy session.

This leads to a noticeable increase in muscle mass, improved muscle tone and definition, and faster recovery from soreness. Emsculpt Neo provides deep muscle contractions—about 20,000 per session—which would be impossible to do manually. This makes it a smart option for anyone wanting to enhance muscle definition and performance.

Why Muscle Recovery Matters

Soreness isn’t just for gym people. If you’re a teacher on your feet all day, a delivery driver, a new mom, or someone just trying to keep up with life—you know the feeling of muscle fatigue and muscle weakness.

If you’re not moving like you used to or feel slower and tighter, you might be experiencing early signs of muscle atrophy or age-related muscle loss

Emsculpt Neo treatment helps rebuild muscle, reduce tightness, and stimulates deep muscle contractions that support real recovery. It’s a safe and proven way to enhance muscle performance without lifting a weight.
