August Rankings

Well, that didn't last long.

July saw Ultraformer III HIFU knock EMSculpt Neo from the top spot after an impressive three-month reign.
One month later, EMSculpt Neo is back at No. 1.

And there may be more behind its comeback than body sculpting alone. We're seeing increasingly savvy clients asking not just what treatment they're having, but which technology is actually delivering it.

HIFU remains firmly in second, Soprano Titanium holds third, NeoGen Plasma stays at No. 4, while T-Shape 2 returns to complete August's Top 5.

But perhaps the most interesting story isn't on the leaderboard yet. As summer draws to a close, the conversation is beginning to shift from summer bodies to post-summer skin, particularly pigmentation. And there's one treatment we're watching very closely. Cosmelan.

For now, August has spoken. Here's what made the cut.

Issue 08 in Detail

August has spoken.

Five names. Four familiar positions. One comeback story at the very top.

01

EMSculpt Neo

Body Sculpting

▲ 1

The original is back on top.

Three months at No. 1. One month at No. 2. And now? Straight back to the top. EMSculpt Neo has reclaimed its position as EF MEDISPA's most requested treatment, and we're noticing something interesting behind its return.

When the technology matters

As body sculpting has exploded in popularity, so have the alternatives. And increasingly, we're hearing from clients who've tried other options before coming to EF MEDISPA, only to become some of the biggest advocates for the results they're achieving with us.

There's an important distinction. At EF MEDISPA, we use genuine BTL EMSculpt Neo technology: the original platform combining synchronised radiofrequency with high-intensity electromagnetic energy to simultaneously address muscle and fat. Because when treatments start attracting imitators, it pays to know you're getting the real thing.

August's Verdict

Three months at the top. One month away. Now the benchmark is back at No. 1.

02

Ultraformer III HIFU

Skin Tightening

▼ 1

One month on top. Still very much in demand.

Ultraformer III HIFU may have handed the No. 1 position back to EMSculpt Neo, but dropping a single place hardly tells the whole story. After taking July's crown, it remains firmly at No. 2.

Why the appeal hasn't changed

Clients continue to gravitate towards results that don't look done. Ultraformer III delivers focused ultrasound energy at precise depths beneath the skin, stimulating collagen to support a firmer, tighter and more lifted appearance over time.

No surgery. Minimal interruption to everyday life. And results designed to look like you, rather than evidence of what you've had done.

Soprano Titanium

Laser Hair Removal

= HOLD

Third place. Again.

Sometimes holding your position says more than climbing. Soprano Titanium remains firmly in the Top 3 for another month, proving its summer popularity wasn't simply a July rush.

Playing the long game

Less shaving. Less waxing. Less planning around unwanted hair. Laser hair removal is one of those treatments where the real luxury is eventually having less to think about.

And while summer might be drawing to a close, the cooler months ahead can be an ideal time to begin thinking about a course of treatments. Next summer suddenly doesn't feel quite so far away.

NeoGen Plasma

Skin Regeneration

= HOLD

Don't take your eyes off number four.

NeoGen Plasma holds fourth place for another month. But we have a feeling that's not where this story ends.

Skin season is coming

After months of sunshine, holidays and long days outdoors, attention inevitably begins turning back towards the skin. Texture. Tone. Fine lines. Pigmentation. Overall skin quality.

NeoGen's nitrogen plasma technology makes it a powerful option within personalised skin rejuvenation plans, and as autumn approaches, we expect interest in corrective skin treatments to accelerate.

Holding steady at No. 4. But we wouldn't bet on it staying there.

T-Shape 2

Cellulite Smoothing

↻ RE-ENTRY

Look who's back.

There's a familiar name completing August's leaderboard. T-Shape 2 is back in the Top 5. And its return shows that body confidence certainly hasn't disappeared with the end of peak summer.

Three technologies. One approach.

T-Shape 2 combines radiofrequency, low-level laser and vacuum massage technologies within one platform. The result is a versatile treatment designed for clients looking to address concerns including body contouring, the appearance of cellulite and skin quality.

No single aesthetic goal. No one-size-fits-all approach. Just another example of clients becoming increasingly considered about what they want from their treatments.

The Next Move

Post-summer skin is coming

August's rankings are dominated by familiar names. September could look rather different.

Months of sunshine can leave their mark, and as tans begin to fade, concerns such as uneven pigmentation and discolouration can become much more noticeable. That's why we're expecting the conversation in clinic to shift.

NeoGen Plasma is already sitting patiently at No. 4. But there's another treatment waiting in the wings.

Could it crack the Top 5?

Cosmelan

Cosmelan is an intensive professional depigmentation approach designed for concerns around hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. And with clients beginning to turn their attention towards addressing the effects of summer on their skin, we think its timing could be perfect.

Will NeoGen Plasma climb?

Will EMSculpt Neo make it two months back at No. 1?

Or will Cosmelan become the next new name on our leaderboard?

We'll find out next month.

Your Next Move

What did summer leave behind?

A little pigmentation?

Changes in texture?

Skin that could use some attention?

Or perhaps your goals have nothing to do with skin at all. Whatever you'd like to address, our expert team can assess your concerns and create a personalised treatment plan using the technologies best suited to you.
