Emsculpt NEO is a well-known treatment for creating more appealing body contours, but did you know that it can improve how your body functions as well? At Vitality Wellness, we offer Emsculpt NEO near Brentwood, TN, to create the contours you are looking for and improve muscle function and core strength.
Here, we’ll explain both the aesthetic and wellness benefits of Emsculpt NEO, providing you with a comprehensive view of this revolutionary treatment and how it can help you accomplish your health goals.
How Emsculpt NEO Works
First, let’s refresh on how our Emsculpt NEO treatment actually works.
In 2020, the FDA approved Emsculpt NEO as a noninvasive body contouring treatment. It combines radiofrequency (RF) and HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) energy to simultaneously build muscle and melt fat.
The HIFEM energy uses small electrical currents to stimulate rapid muscle contractions—roughly 20,000 during each 30-minute session! This increases your muscle mass, defining and toning your appearance.
At the same time, the Emsculpt NEO applicator also delivers radiofrequency to the treatment area, which transforms to thermal energy to heat your tissues. This causes thermolipolysis, when your fat cells overheat, sicken, and die. Over time, your body naturally flushes out those dead cells, reducing your fat pockets. This means you can target specific areas of stubborn fat while also building muscle for a more sculpted look.
Emsculpt NEO for Aesthetics
The FDA originally approved Emsculpt NEO in 2020 for aesthetic purposes, but more recently approved the device for health and wellness treatments as well. Before we dive into the wellness aspects, let’s review everything Emsculpt NEO can do aesthetically:
- 30% decrease in stubborn fat
- 25% increase in muscle mass
- 5.9 cm reduction in waist circumference (roughly 1 dress size)
- Noninvasive, 30-minute treatment sessions
- No downtime or recovery needed
At Vitality Wellness, we understand that looking good keeps you feeling good too, which is one of the main reasons why we offer Emsculpt NEO near Brentwood, TN. Feeling confident in the way that you look can greatly impact your health.
In fact, studies performed by the National Library of Medicine have shown that positive feelings, including positive self-image, lower your perception of pain and your body’s negative response to pain.
But now, Emsculpt NEO can improve your pain in even more ways, as it’s FDA-approved to treat a number of medical and health conditions.
Emsculpt NEO for Health and Wellness
While Emsculpt NEO was previously only approved as a noninvasive body contouring treatment, the FDA recently added approval to treat the following conditions:
Muscle Disuse Atrophy
Common after someone has surgery, muscle atrophy is where your muscle tissue breaks down from lack of use. This causes your muscles to shrink in size, lose strength, and in extreme cases, lose the ability to function.
While muscle disuse atrophy can be improved with a balanced diet and regular exercise, we like to help you along the journey using treatments like Emsculpt NEO near Brentwood, TN, which can rebuild and strengthen muscle tissue.
Disruption in Normal Muscle Firing Patterns
Whether from injury, surgery, or a neurological condition, sometimes patients can experience a disruption in the normal firing patterns of their nerves, which can lead to weakness, pain, impaired balance, or limited movement.
Emsculpt NEO can help restore normal firing patterns, strengthening the muscle and helping return it to its normal range of movement.
Poor Range of Motion
Your muscles can have a poor range of motion, often caused by surgery, an injury to the muscle, neurological conditions, and much more. While it may not sound like a serious condition, poor range of motion can negatively affect many aspects of your life.
That is why we offer Emsculpt NEO near Brentwood, TN. This treatment can help restore a normal range of motion to your muscles, or even improve your range of motion.
Prevention of Post-Surgical Thromboembolism
After calf surgery, patients experience an increased risk of developing blood clots in their legs. This can lead to issues like swelling, pain, redness, or darkened skin. In serious conditions, a blood clot can even cause a stroke.
Emsculpt NEO helps prevent the formation of blood clots after surgery, avoiding venous thromboembolism and helping patients heal.
Muscle Spasms
We also improve muscle spasms with Emsculpt NEO near Brentwood, TN. The muscle contractions caused by Emsculpt NEO promote relaxation and improve your muscle control. This can reduce spasms, especially when used in conjunction with other forms of physical therapy.
Poor Blood Circulation
Poor circulation can cause a number of uncomfortable symptoms, including “pins and needles,” muscles that hurt or feel weak when you walk, numbness, cold fingers and toes, and more. While many things could cause poor circulation, there are also many methods to improve it.
Emsculpt NEO helps to improve local blood circulation by using heat to expand your blood vessels, providing relief from the uncomfortable symptoms that come from poor circulation.

The Treatment Process
When you visit our team at Vitality Wellness, here is what you can expect when getting Emsculpt NEO.
Consultation
Your first appointment with our team will be your initial consultation. During this appointment, your provider will talk with you about your concerns, your medical history, and your goals. They will use this to determine what treatments would best fit your needs and help you create a personalized care plan.
Treatment
Once you and your provider have determined that you are the right candidate for Emsculpt NEO, they will schedule an appointment. Each Emsculpt NEO session only takes 30 minutes, and does not require any downtime or recovery time. During this appointment, your provider will apply the Emsculpt NEO paddles to the treatment area, and you may feel some warmth from the RF energy, and you will notice your muscles contracting. However, this will not be painful. Once you are finished, your provider can help you schedule your next Emsculpt NEO session.
Results
For best results, you will need 4 to 10 Emsculpt NEO sessions, each spaced 1 week apart. Once you complete your full treatment series, you will see a dramatic improvement both in how you look and how you feel. The duration of your results is mostly determined by how well you follow a healthy lifestyle, but most of our patients see their results last between 12 and 18 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our team encounters many questions about this revolutionary treatment. Here are just some of the most common questions we get for Emsculpt NEO, and the answers to them!
Can I lose weight with Emsculpt NEO?
Yes, because you lose pockets of stubborn fat, you do lose some weight with Emsculpt NEO. However, we want to emphasize that Emsculpt NEO is not meant to be a stand-alone weight loss treatment. While it can be used to complement different weight loss programs, you will not see impressive or lasting results when looking at Emsculpt NEO for weight loss.
How will I know how many Emsculpt NEO sessions I’ll need?
During your consultation, your provider will be able to help you determine the number of Emsculpt NEO sessions you’ll need based on your goals and your concerns.
How does fat leave the body after using Emsculpt NEO?
After Emsculpt NEO kills the fat cells in the targeted treatment area, your body flushes them using natural processes, usually through your lymph system. This process can take a couple weeks, so it’s important to stay hydrated after getting Emsculpt NEO to encourage the fat cells to leave your body sooner.
What areas of the body can I treat with Emsculpt NEO?
You can treat almost every area of the body using Emsculpt NEO, including the arms, legs, abdomen, flanks, and buttocks. If you are looking to improve the muscle tone on your face, then we encourage you to check out Emface noninvasive facial contouring.
