At the Intimate Wellness Institute of Virginia, we believe that true wellness is built from the inside out. We understand the frustration that many feel when diet and exercise alone cannot achieve the core strength or body contour they desire. That is why, as of 2025, we are proud to offer Emsculpt NEO®, a revolutionary technology that goes beyond aesthetics to build a stronger, more functional body from its very foundation.
Our philosophy is that a strong core is not just for appearance; it is the cornerstone of pelvic health, posture, and overall stability. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Nathan Guerette, we utilize Emsculpt NEO as part of a comprehensive wellness strategy to help you feel strong, confident, and fully in control of your body.
Emsculpt NEO is the gold standard in non-invasive body shaping. It is the first and only technology to combine two powerful energies in a single treatment to build muscle and eliminate fat simultaneously. Unlike liposuction or older body sculpting devices, Emsculpt NEO is a completely non-invasive procedure that requires no downtime, providing proven results that you can both see and feel.
A single 30-minute Emsculpt NEO session accomplishes what hours in the gym cannot, thanks to its groundbreaking combination of two technologies.
The treatment begins by delivering gentle radiofrequency energy, which raises the temperature of the underlying fat layer to a level that permanently damages fat cells.
Your body then naturally processes and eliminates these dead cells over the following weeks, leading to a significant and permanent reduction in stubborn fat. This gentle heating also warms up your muscles, preparing them for the next step.
Next, the device delivers High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM®) energy. This technology bypasses the brain to directly stimulate your muscle fibers, inducing powerful contractions known as “supramaximal” contractions.
In one 30-minute session, Emsculpt NEO triggers approximately 20,000 deep muscle contractions—the equivalent of 20,000 crunches or squats. These contractions are far more intense than anything achievable voluntarily, forcing your muscles to adapt by increasing in both strength and number of fibers.
You might wonder why a leading center for pelvic health and reconstructive surgery offers a body sculpting treatment. The answer is simple: function.
Your “core” is an intricate system that includes your abdominal muscles on the front and sides, and your pelvic floor at the bottom. These muscle groups work in harmony to manage pressure, support your spine, and ensure pelvic stability. Weakness in the abdominal core puts excess downward pressure on the pelvic floor, which can contribute to issues like incontinence and prolapse.
This is why we champion “Core to Floor” Therapy. By strengthening your abdominal wall with Emsculpt NEO, you are not just toning your stomach; you are building a powerful support system for your entire pelvic region. This synergy leads to:
An Emsculpt NEO treatment is simple and comfortable. You will lie down while the applicator is placed over the target area (such as the abdomen, buttocks, arms, or calves). You will feel intense muscle contractions along with a warming sensation from the RF energy, but it is not considered painful. Each session lasts just 30 minutes, and with no recovery time needed, you can return to your daily activities immediately. A typical treatment series consists of four sessions, scheduled 5-10 days apart.
Emsculpt NEO is one of the most studied and validated body contouring technologies on the market. Clinical studies using MRI, CT scans, and ultrasound have consistently shown remarkable results, including an average of:
You may be an ideal candidate for Emsculpt NEO if you are frustrated with stubborn pockets of fat, wish to build and define muscle, and are looking for a solution that enhances both your appearance and your functional core strength. It is an excellent non-invasive treatment for toning the abdomen, lifting the buttocks, or sculpting the arms and calves.
A stronger core is the key to a more active, confident, and comfortable life. If you are ready to move beyond the limits of traditional exercise and build a foundation of true strength, we invite you to learn more.
