A lot of people around Atlanta do everything they can to take care of themselves. They work out. They eat reasonably well. They try to stay active.

And yet, certain areas just don’t change the way they expect.

That’s usually when patients at Bodiatrics start asking about non-surgical options. Not because they want shortcuts — but because they want help getting past plateaus that diet and exercise alone aren’t fixing.

One treatment that comes up often is EMSCULPT NEO. It’s not surgery. There are no needles. No downtime. But it does something most non-invasive treatments don’t: it works on muscle and fat at the same time.

Here’s what that actually means, in plain terms.

What EMSCULPT NEO Really Is (and What It Isn’t)

EMSCULPT NEO is a non-surgical body contouring treatment offered at Bodiatrics that’s designed to:

  • Strengthen muscle
  • Improve tone and definition
  • Reduce stubborn pockets of fat

It’s FDA-cleared and completely non-invasive.

What it is not:

  • A weight-loss treatment
  • A replacement for diet or exercise
  • A quick fix for significant obesity

Think of it more as a body-refinement tool, not a scale-changing one.

How EMSCULPT NEO Actually Works

This is where it’s different from most body contouring treatments.

EMSCULPT NEO uses two technologies at the same time:

1. High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Energy (HIFEM®)

This triggers extremely strong muscle contractions — far stronger than anything you can do voluntarily at the gym.

In a single session, the treated muscle goes through thousands of contractions. These force the muscle fibers to adapt, rebuild, and strengthen over time.

2. Radiofrequency (RF) Energy

At the same time, controlled heat targets the fat layer above the muscle. This encourages fat cells to break down gradually, which the body then processes naturally.

So instead of choosing between fat reduction or muscle building, EMSCULPT NEO addresses both.

Why Muscle Matters More Than Most People Realize

One thing the team at Bodiatrics spends a lot of time explaining is this:

muscle isn’t just about appearance.

Stronger muscle can mean:

  • Better posture and core stability
  • Improved strength and function
  • More visible definition
  • Better support after weight loss or bariatric surgery

That’s why EMSCULPT NEO fits so well into Bodiatrics’ broader wellness approach. It’s not just cosmetic — it’s functional.

Areas Commonly Treated at Bodiatrics

EMSCULPT NEO is most often used on:

  • Abdomen
  • Glutes
  • Thighs
  • Arms
  • Calves
  • Flanks (love handles)

Treatment plans are customized based on your body composition and goals. There’s no one-size-fits-all protocol.

What a Treatment Session Feels Like

Each session lasts about 30 minutes.

Most patients describe it as:

  • Strong, rhythmic muscle tightening
  • A warming sensation in the treated area

It’s not painful, but it can feel intense — especially during the stronger contraction phases. You’re lying down the entire time, and there’s no recovery period afterward.

Most people go right back to work, errands, or even exercise.

How Many Sessions Are Usually Needed

At Bodiatrics, most patients complete:

  • Four sessions, spaced about one week apart

Results continue to develop over the following weeks as muscle adapts and fat cells are cleared.

Some patients choose maintenance sessions depending on goals and lifestyle.

EMSCULPT NEO vs Other Non-Surgical Treatments

This is one of the biggest reasons patients choose it.

Traditional non-invasive options usually focus on fat only.

EMSCULPT NEO:

  • Builds muscle
  • Strengthens the core
  • Improves tone and firmness
  • Reduces fat simultaneously

For patients who want visible improvement and better strength, that combination matters.

Who Is Usually a Good Candidate

EMSCULPT NEO tends to work best for people who:

  • Are close to their goal weight
  • Stay active but want more definition
  • Have stubborn fat that doesn’t respond easily
  • Want non-surgical options only
  • Have realistic expectations

It’s also commonly used after weight loss or bariatric surgery to help restore tone and strength.

A consultation at Bodiatrics determines whether it’s the right fit.
