EMSculpt NEO uses RF energy to permanently destroy fat cells (30% reduction) and HIFEM technology to trigger supramaximal contractions that sculpt real muscle (25% increase) — in just 30 minutes with zero downtime. What surprises most patients: the strength and athletic performance gains they didn't expect. Doctor-supervised. 40 years of medical expertise.
Unlike med spas, every treatment plan at Bromberg Wellness is supervised by Dr. Steven J. Bromberg — a physician with over 40 years of clinical experience.
Destroy Fat with RF. Sculpt Muscle with HIFEM. 30 Minutes.
Most people come to EMSculpt NEO to lose stubborn fat and sculpt visible abs. It works — radiofrequency (RF) energy heats and permanently destroys fat cells, reducing fat by an average of 30%. But here's what surprises people: at the same time, HIFEM technology triggers supramaximal muscle contractions that increase muscle mass by 25%. That means you don't just lose the fat — you build the sculpted, defined abs underneath it. Patients quickly discover the strength gains carry over to better athletic performance, improved posture, and a stronger core for everything they do.
Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor. Fully Clothed.
Emsella is a breakthrough non-invasive treatment for urinary incontinence and pelvic floor weakness. You remain fully clothed while seated on the Emsella chair, which uses HIFEM technology to deliver thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions — the equivalent of 11,000 kegel exercises in a single 28-minute session.
Most people find us searching for fat reduction and ab sculpting. What they discover is a doctor-supervised medical practice where dual-technology treatments deliver visible results AND real functional strength gains.
Radiofrequency (RF) energy heats fat cells to the point of permanent destruction through apoptosis. Your body naturally flushes these cells over weeks. The fat doesn't come back — because those cells no longer exist. Average reduction: 30%.
HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology triggers thousands of supramaximal contractions per session — contractions far more intense than anything you can achieve at the gym. Your muscles adapt, remodel, and grow. Average increase: 25%.
Patients come in wanting to lose fat and sculpt their abs. They leave with a measurably stronger core, better athletic performance, improved posture, and less back pain. The muscle HIFEM builds is real, functional muscle — not just cosmetic definition.
Dr. Steven J. Bromberg personally oversees every treatment plan. Not an aesthetician. Not a technician. A doctor with 40+ years of hands-on clinical care. Most Boston-area EMSculpt providers are aesthetician-led med spas.
EMSculpt NEO's dual HIFEM + RF technology is backed by 30+ peer-reviewed studies. FDA-cleared for both body contouring and functional wellness. We lead with data — not hype.
