iCRYO Mauldin offers both services — your consultation will determine the best approach
Two Powerful Technologies, Different Strengths
At iCRYO Mauldin, we're proud to offer both T-Shape 2 and EMSCULPT NEO — two of the most advanced non-invasive body contouring systems available. While both deliver impressive results, they work through different mechanisms and excel at different outcomes. Understanding these differences helps you choose the right treatment — or combination — for your goals.
Think of it this way: EMSCULPT NEO builds the foundation (muscle) and reduces fat, while T-Shape 2 refines the surface (skin tightening, cellulite smoothing, and tissue remodeling). Together, they create a complete body transformation that neither could achieve alone.
EMSCULPT NEO: Muscle Building and Fat Reduction
EMSCULPT NEO combines high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM+) with radiofrequency to simultaneously build muscle and destroy fat cells. In a 30-minute session, it delivers 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions while heating fat to the point of apoptosis. Clinical studies demonstrate 25% more muscle growth and 30% fat reduction on average.
EMSCULPT NEO is the gold standard for clients who want to build core strength, define abs, lift glutes, or tone arms and calves. The muscle growth is real — it's equivalent to months of intensive training condensed into four 30-minute sessions. For athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone wanting a more sculpted physique, EMSCULPT NEO delivers measurable, lasting results.
T-Shape 2: Skin Tightening, Cellulite, and Contouring
T-Shape 2 uses four synergistic technologies — Radiofrequency, Low-Level Laser Therapy, Vacuum Therapy, and Mechanical Massage — to address the surface-level concerns that EMSCULPT NEO doesn't target. It's specifically designed for skin tightening, cellulite reduction, lymphatic drainage, and overall tissue remodeling.
Where EMSCULPT NEO works deep in the muscle and fat layers, T-Shape 2 works on the skin, subcutaneous fat, and connective tissue. It stimulates collagen production for firmer skin, breaks up fibrous cellulite bands, enhances circulation, and promotes lymphatic detoxification. The result is smoother, tighter, more youthful-looking skin with improved contours.
When to Choose T-Shape 2 vs EMSCULPT NEO
Choose EMSCULPT NEO if your primary goals are muscle definition, core strength, fat reduction in specific areas, or athletic performance enhancement. It's ideal for the abdomen, glutes, arms, and calves where muscle building creates visible definition.
Choose T-Shape 2 if your primary concerns are cellulite, loose or crepey skin, poor circulation, or overall skin quality. It's ideal for thighs, abdomen, arms, back, and even facial contouring where skin tightening and texture improvement are the priority. Many post-partum clients and adults over 40 find T-Shape 2 particularly effective because it addresses the skin laxity that often accompanies fat loss.
Pro tip: Many of our Greenville-area clients use EMSCULPT NEO to build muscle and reduce fat, then follow with T-Shape 2 sessions to tighten the overlying skin and smooth cellulite for a complete transformation.
The Power of Combining Both Treatments
The most comprehensive body contouring results come from combining both technologies. Start with an EMSCULPT NEO series to build the muscular foundation and reduce stubborn fat. Then add T-Shape 2 sessions to tighten skin, smooth cellulite, and refine contours. This combination addresses every layer — muscle, fat, connective tissue, and skin — for results that look natural and feel incredible.
Our Mauldin, Simpsonville, and Five Forks clients who combine both treatments consistently report the highest satisfaction rates. The synergy between internal muscle building and external skin refinement creates a transformation that's greater than the sum of its parts.
