Build Muscle, Reduce Fat
When the gym is not enough
You eat clean. You train hard. Yet stubborn pockets of fat and soft, undefined muscle in your abdomen, thighs, or arms refuse to respond. Hormonal shifts, age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia), and genetics all conspire against your goals. Surgery feels extreme, CoolSculpting only addresses fat, and traditional muscle-building takes years of disciplined gym time most busy adults in Polk County simply do not have.
Emsculpt Neo solves both problems in one device. Radiofrequency warms tissue to apoptotic temperatures (over 42°C) to permanently destroy fat cells while supramaximal HIFEM contractions force 20,000-plus muscle fiber engagements per session. The result: an average 30 percent fat reduction and 25 percent muscle increase. Visit our medical aesthetics hub to see how Emsculpt Neo complements our broader contouring options.
Radiofrequency Plus HIFEM Technology
Emsculpt Neo by BTL Aesthetics is the first and only non-invasive body contouring device that combines synchronized radiofrequency (RF) and High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic energy (HIFEM+) in a single 30 minute treatment. It is FDA-cleared for the abdomen, buttocks, anterior and posterior thighs, calves, biceps, and triceps.
During treatment, RF energy raises the temperature of fat tissue past the apoptotic threshold of 42 to 45°C within the first four minutes, triggering programmed cell death of subcutaneous adipocytes. Simultaneously, HIFEM+ delivers supramaximal contractions, around 24,000 per session, that exceed what voluntary effort can produce. The result is a dual mechanism that reduces fat while building underlying muscle, something neither diet, exercise, nor competing single-mechanism devices can replicate.
Clinical studies published in peer-reviewed dermatology and plastic surgery journals demonstrate average outcomes of 30 percent fat reduction and 25 percent muscle thickness increase 12 weeks after a four-session protocol. Many patients also report a measurable reduction in diastasis recti (separation of the rectus abdominis), making Emsculpt Neo a popular postpartum recovery option as part of our integrative wellness approach.

How Neo compares
| Treatment | Mechanism | Time | Results | Duration | Downtime | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Emsculpt Neo | RF heat plus HIFEM contractions | 30 min per area, 4 sessions | 30 percent fat loss, 25 percent muscle gain | Long-lasting with maintenance | None | Toned, lean, athletic patients |
| CoolSculpting (Cryolipolysis) | Controlled cooling to freeze fat | 35 to 60 min per area, 1 to 3 sessions | 20 to 25 percent fat reduction only | Permanent fat cell destruction | Mild bruising, numbness | Pinchable fat, no muscle goals |
| Liposuction | Surgical fat suction under anesthesia | 1 to 4 hour procedure | Up to 70 percent fat removal | Permanent if weight stable | 1 to 2 weeks recovery | Larger fat volumes, surgical candidates |
Lean, healthy, motivated patients
Emsculpt Neo is designed for adults who are already living a healthy lifestyle but want to address stubborn fat and underdeveloped muscle that diet and exercise alone cannot resolve. According to clinical safety data published on PubMed, ideal candidates have a body mass index of 35 or lower with localized concerns rather than overall weight loss goals. We often combine Emsculpt Neo with medical weight loss to optimize body composition alongside Emsculpt Neo for patients with higher starting BMI.
A consultation with Erin will determine your candidacy and ensure Emsculpt Neo is a safe, appropriate fit for your goals.

Erin positions the BTL Emsculpt Neo applicator on your target zone using contour-matched straps.
Erin gradually ramps RF heating and HIFEM intensity over 30 minutes for combined fat and muscle work.
Erin guides you through gentle muscle release contractions to clear lactic acid and reduce soreness.
Erin schedules your next session 5 to 10 days out and tracks measurements at week 4 and 12.
Emsculpt Neo has an excellent safety profile when administered by a trained provider. Per FDA 510(k) clearance documentation and BTL clinical studies, the most common side effects are mild and transient: muscle soreness similar to a vigorous workout, temporary skin redness or warmth in the treatment area, and minor muscle fatigue lasting 24 to 48 hours.
Less commonly, patients may notice short-term skin tenderness, mild bruising at strap contact points, or a brief sensation of muscle twitching after the session. Serious adverse events are rare. The radiofrequency component is calibrated to monitor skin temperature continuously to prevent burns, and HIFEM intensity is patient-controlled so contractions remain tolerable.
Absolute contraindications include metal or electronic implants in or near the treatment field (pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators, drug pumps, copper IUDs when treating abdomen), pregnancy, malignancy in the area, active hernias, fever, hemorrhagic conditions, and recent surgical procedures. Erin reviews a comprehensive medical and surgical history at consultation to identify any contraindications before treatment begins. If you have a chronic condition, please coordinate with your primary care provider before scheduling.

What patients ask most
Emsculpt Neo is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive body contouring device that combines radiofrequency heat with HIFEM+ muscle contractions in a single 30 minute session. It is the only device that simultaneously reduces fat (average 30 percent) and builds muscle (average 25 percent) without surgery, needles, or downtime.
The standard clinical protocol is 4 sessions spaced 5 to 10 days apart. Most patients begin to see contour changes within 2 to 4 weeks of the first session, with peak fat reduction and muscle definition visible 12 weeks after the final treatment.
Subtle tone and tightness often appear within 2 to 4 weeks of your first session. Peak results (around 30 percent fat loss and 25 percent muscle increase) are typically photographed 12 weeks after the fourth and final treatment as muscle remodeling and fat metabolism complete.
Most patients describe the sensation as a hot stone massage combined with the most intense workout they have ever done. Intensity is gradually increased and patient-controlled. Mild muscle soreness afterward is normal and resolves within 24 to 48 hours.
Single sessions range from $750 to $1,200 per area. The recommended 4-session package is $3,000 to $4,500. Pricing varies by treatment zone and applicator. Multi-area and combination discounts are available.
Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed clinical studies indexed on PubMed show consistent average outcomes of 30 percent fat reduction and 25 percent muscle thickness increase at the 12-week follow-up after a 4-session protocol. Results require maintaining a stable weight and active lifestyle for longevity.
