At most clinics, body contouring is a standalone cosmetic procedure. At Total Body Renewal, it’s integrated into a broader health plan — supervised by Dr. Wood, evaluated against your medical profile, and combined with other treatments when clinically appropriate. The goal isn’t just looking different. It’s building a healthier body composition.
✓ FDA-Cleared Device ✓ Physician-Supervised ✓ Non-Invasive ✓ No Downtime
During your consultation, Dr. Wood will assess whether body contouring is appropriate for your current health status and goals. If it’s not the right time — for example, if weight management should come first — she’ll tell you. We never perform treatments that aren’t medically justified for your situation.
Emsculpt Neo is FDA-cleared for muscle building and fat reduction. It uses HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) energy to induce muscle contractions and thermal energy to destroy fat cells. It’s the only non-invasive device that does both at the same time.
Electromagnetic pulses cause 20,000+ supramaximal muscle contractions per session — contractions your body cannot produce voluntarily. This forces muscle fibers to rebuild denser and stronger, averaging 19% muscle increase in clinical studies.
Thermal energy heats fat cells to 43°C during treatment, triggering apoptosis (permanent cell death). Destroyed fat cells are naturally eliminated by your body. Clinical studies show an average 16% fat reduction in treated areas.
Beyond body contouring, Emsculpt Neo is used in physician-supervised functional protocols aimed at supporting muscle strength, stability, and mobility. For appropriate patients, it may complement recovery from injury or address age-related muscle loss — under a protocol designed by Dr. Wood based on your specific clinical needs.
For elderly patients experiencing muscle loss, or those recovering from injury, Emsculpt Neo may support improved strength, mobility, and daily function in appropriate patients. The ability to rebuild muscle non-invasively — without the physical demands of traditional exercise — can be meaningful when traditional rehabilitation is difficult. Dr. Wood evaluates each patient to design a functional protocol targeting the specific muscles and areas that need support.
19% Average muscle increase | 16% Average fat reduction | 85% See visible results within 4 weeks
Most patients do 6 sessions over 2-3 weeks for optimal results.
Dr. Wood evaluates your body composition, health history, and goals. She determines if Emsculpt Neo is appropriate for your situation and discusses realistic outcomes for your specific body.
A custom protocol: how many sessions, which areas, what intensity, and expected timeline. If combining with weight management or other treatments, those are coordinated into one plan.
30-minute sessions, typically 2 per week. You relax while the device works. No pain relief needed, no downtime. Progress photos taken at each visit to track changes objectively.
Results appear over 4-8 weeks. Dr. Wood reviews progress and recommends maintenance (typically 1-2 sessions every 3-4 months). If additional treatments would benefit you, they’re discussed here.
“I’d lost 30 pounds through Dr. Wood’s weight management program but still had stubborn belly fat. She suggested Emsculpt Neo when the timing was right — not before. Eight sessions later, I have visible muscle definition for the first time in my life.”
“I was skeptical about a ‘body sculpting’ treatment until Dr. Wood showed me the clinical data. The results matched what the studies said. My arms and core are visibly stronger and leaner.”
“What I appreciated is that Dr. Wood told me body contouring wasn’t what I needed first. She put me on a weight management plan, and 4 months later when I was ready, Emsculpt made sense. That honesty built my trust.”
“At 55, I didn’t think I could build muscle anymore. Emsculpt Neo proved me wrong. Combined with Dr. Wood’s peptide protocol, my body composition has changed significantly.”
Emsculpt Neo Treatment — $500 per 30-minute session
No. Body contouring refines body composition — it builds muscle and reduces fat in targeted areas. It is not a weight-loss treatment. If you need to lose significant weight, we’ll recommend our medical weight management program first and discuss body contouring when the timing is right.
Yes. Emsculpt Neo is FDA-cleared and has been studied in multiple peer-reviewed clinical trials. It is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and has no downtime. Dr. Wood evaluates each patient’s suitability before recommending treatment.
Most patients complete 6 sessions over 2-3 weeks for initial results. Functional rehabilitation protocols may require 6-10 sessions. Dr. Wood will recommend a specific protocol based on your goals and body composition during your consultation.
Fat cells destroyed by Emsculpt Neo are permanently eliminated. Muscle gains require maintenance — typically 1-2 sessions every 3-4 months — to sustain results over time, similar to how regular exercise maintains fitness.
Yes. Emsculpt Neo is frequently combined with medical weight management, hormone optimization, and peptide therapy at TBR. Dr. Wood coordinates combination protocols when clinically appropriate.
Dr. Wood will tell you honestly during your consultation. If body contouring isn’t appropriate — for example, if weight loss should come first — she’ll explain why and recommend the right path forward. We never perform treatments that aren’t clinically justified.
Your consultation with Dr. Wood includes a body composition assessment, suitability evaluation, and honest discussion about whether Emsculpt Neo — or another approach — is the best path for your goals.
