Emsculpt Neo® body contouring in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL at Dermagnify is a revolutionary breakthrough in both body contouring and functional medicine, building muscle and reducing fat simultaneously in a single non-invasive treatment.
At Dermagnify, Medical, Surgical and Cosmetic Dermatology in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, Dr. Mark A. Cappel, MD, offers Emsculpt Neo® as both an aesthetic body contouring solution and a functional wellness therapy.
Achieving your ideal body composition can feel like an uphill battle. Despite consistent exercise and a healthy diet, stubborn fat deposits and loss of muscle tone can persist, leaving you frustrated and discouraged. Beyond aesthetics, muscle weakness and poor core strength can lead to functional limitations, chronic pain, reduced mobility, and an increased risk of injury as we age.
Whether your goal is to sculpt a more defined physique or to rebuild strength, improve mobility, and support overall health, Emsculpt Neo® delivers measurable, life-changing results. We proudly serve patients from Ponte Vedra Beach, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and throughout Northeast Florida.
Emsculpt Neo® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive body contouring and functional wellness treatment that simultaneously reduces fat by an average of 30% and increases muscle mass by 25% in targeted areas.
Using advanced HIFEM+® (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology combined with synchronized radiofrequency heating, Emsculpt Neo® induces powerful supramaximal muscle contractions that cannot be achieved through voluntary exercise, while simultaneously heating and destroying fat cells.
The treatment is effective on 10 body areas including the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, arms, and calves. Beyond aesthetic transformation, Emsculpt Neo® is FDA-cleared as an adjunctive therapy for functional wellness, helping to increase range of motion, improve local blood circulation, facilitate muscle re-education, relax muscle spasms, prevent disuse atrophy, and reduce the risk of venous thrombosis.
Key Concerns Addressed
Stubborn Fat Deposits
Diet and exercise alone often fail to eliminate stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. Emsculpt Neo® uses radiofrequency heating to raise the temperature of fat cells to the point of apoptosis (cell death), resulting in an average 30% reduction in fat in the treated area.
Loss of Muscle Mass & Tone
Aging, sedentary lifestyle, and hormonal changes lead to progressive muscle loss and reduced muscle tone. Emsculpt Neo® induces 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions per session, building and strengthening muscle fibers for a 25% average increase in muscle mass.
Weak Core & Pelvic Floor
A weak core contributes to poor posture, back pain, and pelvic floor dysfunction. The "Core to Floor" protocol combines Emsculpt Neo® on the abdomen with Emsella® for the pelvic floor, creating a powerful synergy that strengthens your entire core and improves stability, balance, and function.
Post-Surgical Muscle Weakness
After surgery or injury, muscle atrophy and weakness can significantly impair recovery and quality of life. Emsculpt Neo® is FDA-cleared for muscle re-education and prevention of disuse atrophy, helping patients regain strength, mobility, and confidence.
Metabolic Health & Visceral Fat
Excess visceral fat (fat around internal organs) is linked to serious health conditions like diabetes and heart disease. By building muscle and reducing fat, Emsculpt Neo® improves metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and overall wellness.
