Even with the best habits in place, many individuals still have a hard time reaching their body sculpting goals. Intense exercise, workout routines, and restricting diets don’t always work for everyone and are hard to sustain. If you find yourself wishing you could reduce stubborn fat around the belly, improve your figure, and further define your muscles, you should try Emsculpt NEO.
At the Institute for Hormonal Balance, we use the power of Emsculpt NEO to reduce fat and build muscle simultaneously. The device helps our patients reach their wellness and aesthetic goals–without breaking a sweat.
In this guide, we discuss everything you should know about Emsculpt body sculpting in Arlington. From how it works to candidacy, you’ll have what you need to know to decide if Emsculpt NEO meets your needs.

How Emsculpt NEO Works
Emsculpt NEO, a powerful body contouring device, uses the power of 2 technologies to burn fat and build muscle in a few short sessions. As the applicators rest on the treatment area of your choosing, they emit radiofrequency and electromagnetic stimulation, which work deep underneath your skin to tone your physique.
Each technology serves its own purpose, making the dual-action approach revolutionary for body sculpting. Here’s how each technology works.
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy
The first technology, RF energy, penetrates deep—past your epidermis and dermis—into the layer of subcutaneous fat. This form of thermal energy breaks up fat cells while keeping the superficial skin intact and unharmed. As the fat cells rupture and melt, your body naturally flushes them out over time. This allows our patients to see improvements with stubborn pockets of fat that haven’t responded well to diet or exercise.
High-Intensity Electromagnetic (HIFEM) Stimulation
As RF energy targets fat cells, high-intensity electromagnetic (HIFEM) stimulation targets the muscles below. HIFEM stimulates thousands of microcontractions. These supramaximal muscle contractions are far stronger than what’s possible with regular exercise. With Emsculpt body sculpting in Arlington, we can stimulate over 20,000 muscle contractions in a single session!
Your Emsculpt NEO Treatment at a Glance
Since every patient is unique, we do everything we can to tailor your experience to you. Through personalized consultations and treatment plans crafted based on your needs and goals, we put ourselves in the best position to provide the best care.
Consultation
We begin the process by inviting you to our clinic for a private in-depth consultation. During this appointment, we talk about your lifestyle, medical history, and your desires for body sculpting. As we gather information about your unique situation, we begin crafting your treatment plan.
Since we believe informed patients and providers make the best decisions regarding care, we may order blood labs or suggest you undergo a comprehensive metabolic profile. Using the results from bloodwork and the PNOĒ metabolic analysis allows us to discover additional data points that inform your treatment plan.
Once we confirm that Emsculpt body sculpting in Arlington fits within your wellness plan, we schedule your first session to get started.
Emsculpt NEO Treatments
The team at the Institute for Hormonal Balance recommends a series of 4 to 6 sessions of Emsculpt NEO depending on individual goals. The treatment uses noninvasive energy, meaning you can relax comfortably and get back to your activities after each 30-minute treatment.
During your appointment, we place the appropriate Emsculpt NEO applicators on your treatment area. We let the machine work for half an hour, as it emits RF energy and HIFEM to sculpt your body—reducing body fat and building your muscles.
You might feel some warmth and intense muscle contractions, but the treatment should be tolerable. If the sensation is too uncomfortable, we can adjust the intensity of the heat and muscle stimulation to meet your needs.
Preparing for Treatment
We help you understand what’s required before you return for your Emsculpt body sculpting in Arlington. Although not much, preparation helps ensure the success of treatment.
Before your appointment, we ask that you:
- Remove any metal from your body, including jewelry, bras, and other accessories.
- Stay properly hydrated by drinking enough water or getting one of our hydrating IVs prior to your treatment
- Wear comfortable clothing that allows for easy access to the treatment area.
- Let our team know if you have any questions or concerns!
Post-Care Instructions
After you leave our practice, you can return to your schedule and enjoy no downtime after treatment. You might feel sore, as your body just went through an intense workout! However, any minor soreness should fade within a few days.
To enhance the results of Emsculpt NEO, we recommend:
- Stay hydrated with water, and eat a meal with protein after your treatment.
- Continue eating balanced meals and regular exercise.
- Reach out to our team with questions about recovery or results.
Results & Maintenance
After each appointment, you can begin to see improvements in your muscle tone and fat reduction. By following the recommended number of treatments, you can see long-lasting results. Many of our patients find that their body sculpting results last for a year or longer.
To keep up with your new contours, we schedule yearly maintenance appointments, so you can sustain your physique. Plus, combining our other services during or after your treatment provides an all-encompassing approach to your wellness.
Power in Pairs: Combining Treatments With Emsculpt NEO
Are you curious about how you can enhance your journey with Emsculpt body sculpting in Arlington? Our providers strive to address all the needs of our patients, which is why we often pair our treatments to provide well-rounded care. Let’s look into some popular services we combine with Emsculpt NEO.
Weight Loss Injections
It’s important to note that Emsculpt NEO is not a weight loss treatment. We often recommend this device for those who have already met their goal weight and are looking to target the excess, stubborn fat and restore muscle tone. However, if your goals include weight loss, we can combine body sculpting with a weight loss program.
Our approach to helping you lose weight includes dietary coaching, hormone balance, vitamin injections, and, if necessary, weight loss injections. Weight loss medications mimic hormones within your body that control hunger, metabolism, digestion, and more. By establishing healthy habits, optimizing hormones, and using these injections, we can help you achieve sustainable weight loss.
Additionally, for patients reaching the maintenance phase of their weight loss journey, body sculpting can help you achieve a more contoured appearance, so you can show off your success.
Vitamin Injections
To enhance how your body burns fat, we can pair a few of our vitamin shots with your Emsculpt NEO treatment plan. Our vitamin injections boost your metabolism and provide vitamins that improve overall health.
With curated vitamin injections, you can feel and see the results almost instantly. When we use subcutaneous injections, the ingredients go straight to your bloodstream, instead of traveling through the digestive tract. Whereas, food and oral supplements must be digested, which means some vitamins and minerals get lost or won’t be absorbed.
Here are a few of the vitamin injections we recommend with Emsculpt body sculpting in Arlington:
- Slim Shot: Our “skinny shot” provides a blend of nutrients that helps burn fat and increase energy (B12 & 3 fat burning amino acids)
- Super Slim Shot: Built on the Slim Shot, this injection combines more B vitamins and amino acids to enhance the effects of our original slim shot.
- Amino Blend Shot: We blend amino acids, including ornithine, lysine, and citrulline, to help burn fat and boost your metabolism.
Each injection takes around 5 minutes and can be done on an as-needed basis. When you come in for your weekly Emsculpt NEO sessions, we can easily add on the best injection to help you reach your goals.
Emtone
As your body’s lymphatic system flushes out dead fat cells after Emsculpt NEO, we can use Emtone to help the process along. The device uses targeted pressure energy, which improves circulation, enhances lymphatic drainage, and further breaks up fat deposits.
Additionally, Emtone also uses RF energy to gently heat the skin, which reduces wrinkles, tightens skin, and targets excess fat. Using Emtone in conjunction with Emsculpt NEO can provide an extra boost to body contouring, reduce cellulite, and help your body flush out the treated fat cells.
Ideal Candidates for Emsculpt NEO
During your consultation, our team works with you to confirm that Emsculpt NEO can help you reach your goals safely. If we determine that you are not a candidate for Emsculpt body sculpting in Arlington, we can offer alternative treatments.
We recommend Emsculpt NEO for any patients, 18 years or older, who seek a more sculpted figure. Patients should be within 15 to 30 pounds of their ideal weight, as this treatment is not meant for weight loss.
If you have metal or electronic implants including pacemakers, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions, Emsculpt NEO might not be recommended for you. By understanding your goals, we work with you to help you achieve them with more suitable services.
