Build muscle and burn fat in the same 30-minute session — no surgery, no needles, no downtime. Performed by the team at New Tampa Wellness Clinic, just minutes off SR-54 and Bruce B. Downs.
Emsculpt NEO at New Tampa Wellness Clinic in Wesley Chapel, FL is a non-invasive body sculpting treatment that combines radiofrequency heating with high-intensity electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to reduce fat by up to 30% and build muscle by up to 25% in the treated area. Each session lasts 30 minutes. Most patients complete a series of four sessions over two to three weeks, with visible results beginning around week three.
Most body sculpting treatments do one thing. Emsculpt NEO does two at the same time, and that is the entire reason the device exists. Inside a single applicator, two energies fire simultaneously. Radiofrequency heat raises the temperature of the targeted area by several degrees, which damages fat cells and triggers the body’s natural process of clearing them out over the following weeks. Meanwhile, high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy — HIFEM — forces the muscle in that area to contract roughly 24,000 times in 30 minutes. That is more contractions than any human could perform voluntarily, and the muscle responds the way muscle always responds to overload: it grows.
The clinical numbers most people quote come from the published Emsculpt NEO trials. On average, treated areas show about a 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat and a 25% increase in muscle mass after a full series. Those numbers are averages across study populations, not guarantees, and they apply to the muscle and fat in the treated zone, not your whole body. We talk about realistic expectations during your consultation.
The treatment is FDA-cleared for the abdomen, glutes, thighs, calves, and arms. It is non-invasive: no needles, no cuts, no anesthesia. The session feels like an intense workout combined with a hot stone massage; most patients describe it as strange but tolerable, and read or scroll their phone during the 30 minutes. You can drive yourself home and go straight back to your day.
Most fat reduction tools do not build muscle, and most muscle stimulators do not reduce fat. Emsculpt NEO does both at the same time, in 30 minutes.
No needles, no cuts, no anesthesia. You walk in, lie down, and walk out. Most patients return to normal activity the same day, including their workout.

Treatment plans are designed and supervised by Dr. Jose De La Torre. Every session is performed by trained clinical staff, not a rotating roster of techs.
A 20-30 minute conversation. We look at the area you want treated, talk realistic expectations, and check whether Emsculpt NEO is right for you. Patients with BMI above 35, certain metal implants, or active pregnancy are not candidates, and we will tell you that in the first visit rather than after you have paid.
Four 30-minute sessions, scheduled five to ten days apart. Each session targets one or two body areas. You lie back, the applicator is positioned, the device fires RF and HIFEM energy. Most patients feel mild soreness afterward, similar to a hard workout, that fades within 24 hours.
You will feel firmer muscle within the first two weeks. Visible fat reduction shows up between weeks four and eight. Final results are typically photographed at week 12. Most patients return for a single touch-up session every three to four months.
FDA-cleared treatment areas include the abdomen, buttocks, thighs (front and back), calves, and arms (biceps and triceps). During your consultation we map out which areas make sense for your goals and how to sequence them across your session series.

Most patients see the best Emsculpt NEO results once they’re already close to their goal weight. If you have more than 25 pounds to lose, our Semaglutide / GLP-1 medical weight loss program is the right starting point.

Our Wesley Chapel office sits just off SR-54 near the Bruce B. Downs corridor, with easy access from New Tampa, Land O’ Lakes, Lutz, and Tampa Palms. From the Shops at Wiregrass, we are roughly five minutes away. From New Tampa via Bruce B. Downs, expect a 10- to 15-minute drive depending on time of day. From downtown Tampa via I-75, plan on 25 to 30 minutes. Parking is free and the lot is right outside our suite.
The standard protocol is four 30-minute sessions, scheduled five to ten days apart. Most patients see initial results within two weeks and final results between weeks eight and twelve. After the initial series, a single maintenance session every three to four months helps preserve the muscle gains and fat reduction long-term.
It is backed by clinical studies showing roughly 30% fat reduction and 25% muscle increase in treated areas after a full series, on average. That is real data from peer-reviewed research, not marketing. The honest caveat: those numbers are averages, and results depend on your starting point, the area treated, and what you do between sessions.
Yes, for healthy adults who are appropriate candidates. The treatment is FDA-cleared and non-invasive — no needles, no surgery, no anesthesia. Side effects are usually limited to temporary muscle soreness similar to a hard workout. Patients with pacemakers, defibrillators, certain metal implants in the treatment area, or who are pregnant are not candidates, which we screen for during your consultation.
CoolSculpting only reduces fat by freezing fat cells. Emsculpt NEO reduces fat using radiofrequency heat AND simultaneously builds muscle through HIFEM-induced contractions. If your goal is just fat reduction in stubborn pockets, CoolSculpting may be sufficient. If you want both fat reduction and visible muscle definition, Emsculpt NEO is the better tool.
Yes, and many of our patients do. Emsculpt NEO is particularly useful during a GLP-1 weight loss program because it helps preserve and build lean muscle while you’re in a caloric deficit — which is exactly when the body tends to lose muscle alongside fat. We coordinate the timing with your weight loss program so you get the most out of both.
