West Columbia, SC – April 13, 2021 - Dr. Andrea Pezzella and Southern Urogynecology Wellness & Aesthetics announce the addition of EmSculpt Neo®, the first and only non-invasive body shaping procedure that simultaneously addresses both muscle and fat. EmSculpt Neo® introduces an entirely new technology to the category that goes beyond waist line reduction and elimination of fat cells. This dual treatment addresses physiological distinctions currently excluded from other procedures, such as muscle, making it ideal for fit individuals with a lower BMI seeking improvement in muscle and fat in hard to target areas.

“Muscles represent about 35% of the human body, but existing aesthetic treatments only focus on the reduction of fat and fail to address muscle,” said Pezzella. “With EmSculpt Neo®, we finally have something to address muscle tone, helping our patients define those particularly stubborn areas. Our patients are loving their results and we are so excited to be the first practice in the midlands to offer EmSculpt’s technology.”

EmSculpt Neo® is FDA-cleared for the strengthening, toning and firming of the abdomen, arms, calves and buttocks. The game changing technology helps patients achieve next-level, abdominal contouring results and increases the strength and stamina of the gluteal region to help athletic patients take their buttocks to the next level.

Utilizing HIFEM^® technology, EmSculpt Neo® offers a first-of-its-kind application of a unique magnetic field which penetrates through skin to deliver almost 20,000 muscular contractions per 30 minute session to impact muscle, as well as fat. Once penetrated, the energy induces supramaximal muscle contractions that are accompanied by a rapid metabolic reaction in fat cells to not only strengthen and build muscle, but also reduce fat. This is the only technology that builds muscle and burns fat simultaneously, all while leaving the surrounding tissues unaffected.

Tested in seven unique clinical studies, EmSculpt Neo® addressed both the abdomen and buttocks and delivered consistent results in muscle gain and fat loss:

• 19% reduction in subcutaneous abdominal fat
• 16% increase in muscle mass
• Average waist reduction of 4.4 cm
• 96% satisfaction with treatment results

For optimal results, Southern Urogynecology Wellness & Aesthetics recommends four 30-minute treatment sessions over the course of a two-week period. Best results will be seen after 3-months with continued improvement over a 6-month time period.
