You’ve been working hard to improve your physical fitness. Your efforts not only do wonders for your health, they make you proud to look in the mirror. Clothes you haven’t worn for some time migrate from the back of the closet to the front. You feel more confident in crowds, at work meetings, and on date night with your significant other.
In essence, losing fat and gaining muscle just feels good—plain and simple!
Sometimes though, trouble spots show up where fat deposits or certain muscles just won’t respond, despite your best attempts. Don’t give up; instead, get help at Vitality Medical Wellness Center with Emsculpt NEO in Belle Meade, TN. Emsculpt NEO is a revolutionary device that reduces stubborn fatty deposits while simultaneously building target muscles, all in one 30-minute treatment.
Request an appointment to learn more, and read our blog to explore how Emsculpt NEO helps you level up while you work out.
Two Goals in One Treatment
Emsculpt NEO uses advanced high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to help your body:
- Build muscle mass faster than possible in a gym setting.
- Reduce the presence of targeted fatty deposits.
It accomplishes this while you relax in a Vitality Medical Wellness Center treatment room, feeling target muscles clench and release up to 20,000 times in a single treatment session! The comforting warmth you feel during the treatment doesn’t just come from the muscle contractions—its simultaneous RF energy going to work eliminating unwanted fat cells.
This dual-energy therapy helps you quickly build up to 25% more muscle mass while decreasing stubborn fat by up to 30%.
How HIFEM Builds Muscle Mass
Emsculpt NEO in Belle Meade builds muscle using focused electromagnetic waves. These pulses of energy pass harmlessly through skin and fat into target muscle groups, creating electrical currents that cause muscle fibers to contract.
Unlike gym workouts with drawn-out contractions, HIFEM pulses cause multiple, intense “supramaximal contractions” in a short amount of time. That’s how you can experience the equivalent of 20,000 crunches, curls, and more within 30 minutes.
Because your muscles have undergone so many rapid contractions, you may feel some muscle fatigue and soreness after a treatment. However, you won’t be exhausted and have the pain and mobility issues that can come with regular intense workouts.
With the customizable intensity of HIFEM energy, Emsculpt NEO in Belle Meade goes beyond voluntary exercise, helping you grow and tone muscle at a greatly accelerated rate.
Choose the Muscles You Want to Improve
Both the muscle-building electromagnetic and the fat-eliminating radiofrequency (RF) technologies are located in each of 3 different applicators. Your Vitality Medical Wellness Center provider places the appropriate applicator(s) on your target area, secures them comfortably with elasticized straps, and begins your treatment once you are ready.
Large Applicator
The large-size, paddle-like applicator works best on larger muscle groups for more pronounced results. These areas include:
- Abdomen
- Buttocks
- Front thighs
- Back thighs
Edge Applicator
The edge applicator uses 2 paddles to deliver equal therapy on 2 sides of a treatment area. The customizable positioning of the paddles makes the edge applicator perfect for:
- Flanks
- Inner thighs
Small Applicator
Emsculpt NEO’s small applicator, either as a single use or in tandem with another small applicator, helps you build muscle in tighter locations such as:
- Biceps
- Triceps
- Calves
- Outer thighs
Mastering Your Muscles
Tightening up your abdomen improves your body’s contours even as it helps strengthen your core. Instead of letting a “pooch” get in the way of your goals, the large applicator could increase the power of your abdominal muscles while reducing the fat layer on top of them—for a stomach that looks and feels leaner.
Maybe you want your arms to have more definition and general strength. The small applicators can be placed on the biceps, triceps, and other target arm muscles for improved function and appearance.
The edge applicator can help you unilaterally defeat a stubborn muffin top while improving the strength of your oblique muscles. Many Vitality Medical Wellness Center patients discover improved balance and posture. Suddenly, aerobic exercises feel easier and yet more productive. Even yoga sessions become more functional and fulfilling, because patients find they have better control twisting and bending.
How RF Energy Eliminates Unwanted Fat
For body contouring and body sculpting, Emsculpt NEO in Belle Meade helps to reduce fatty deposits that won’t respond to diet or exercise. It does this using targeted radiofrequency (RF) energy.
Not All Fat Is Bad
Fat deposits have their uses. Healthy, useful subcutaneous fat can be found just under the skin on the:
- Upper arms
- Thighs
- Hips
- Buttocks
It can make curves curvier, cushion and protect muscles and bones, and even help with hormone regulation.
However, too much of a good thing stops it from being a good thing. When you have a lot of subcutaneous fat, it can increase the risk of health issues including:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Heart disease
- Fatty liver disease
- Hypertension
- Even certain cancers
The extraordinary ability of Emsculpt NEO to target unwanted fat deposits means we can deftly sculpt those underlying layers by eliminating fat cells.
Apoptosis Is the Key
Emsculpt NEO in Belle Meade sends RF energy directly into the fatty layers, where it heats fat cells (lipolysis). This causes them to expand, damaging their membranes and causing those cells to die (apoptosis). Amazingly, this doesn’t affect surrounding tissues—just the fat cells.
As your body senses these disrupted cells over time, immune cells arrive to digest the leftovers and naturally flush them from your system. In other words, within a few months, fatty deposits diminish and your body’s proportions gracefully improve. You may find yourself fitting into the clothes you love for the look you’ve wanted!
Emsculpt NEO Isn’t for Weight Loss
You might think that if Emsculpt NEO in Belle Meade can eliminate fat cells, you’ll lose weight, right?
Not really.
Yes, losing fat cells can reduce weight. However, you’re also gaining muscle—which is a denser and heavier tissue than fat. And to further derail weight-loss hopes, the remaining fat cells can still increase in size. This means you’ll need to follow a healthy diet regimen; otherwise, old habits may cause you to gain weight as those extra calories increase the size of living fat cells.

Core to Floor Therapy Empowers Your Health
Emsculpt NEO already combines RF energy with HIFEM to contour areas of your body. Now you can use that treatment, along with core-building Emsella chair therapy, to truly renew and revive your core!
Understanding Your Core
We define a person’s core as the main trunk of their body, covering muscle groups in the following 4 areas:
- Abdomen
- Mid & lower back
- Hips
- Pelvis
To understand the internal relationship between these muscle groups, imagine you’re making a hula hoop circle your waist. All of those muscles keeping it circling, and all of that balance and dexterity come from your core.
We also consider your pelvic floor as part of your core. This cradle of musculature controls much of urinary and excretory function, along with important parts of sexual function. If your pelvic floor weakens, incontinence and sexual dysfunction can become debilitative concerns for your quality of life.
How Emsella Works
The base of the Emsella chair houses the same revolutionary high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology that our Emsculpt NEO device uses.
When you sit in the cutting-edge Emsella chair for a session, the base sends thousands of focused electromagnetic pulses into your pelvic floor. This causes deep pelvic muscle contractions that are similar to what you do during a Kegel.
The biggest difference is that during a 28-minute Emsella treatment, you can experience up to 11,000 contractions. That amount of therapeutic exercise is unattainable on your own.
The Core to Floor Difference
Our core to floor program gives you a 100% nonsurgical and noninvasive approach to improving your core’s strength and control. By combining Emsculpt NEO in Belle Meade with Emsella therapy, you’ll build muscle faster than you could ever achieve at a gym or at home.

- Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
