EMSCULPT NEO in Aventura, FL
EMSCULPT NEO is a non-invasive BTL device that combines muscle-stimulating HIFEM energy with radiofrequency heat. At FTG Ortho, we use it for muscle strengthening and body contouring, as part of rehab plans and alongside our GLP-1 weight loss program.
01
Overview
EMSCULPT NEO is a non-invasive body treatment made by BTL that works on muscle and fat in the same session. BTL states it pairs HIFEM technology for muscle building and strengthening with synchronized radiofrequency (RF) heating that targets stubborn fat.
The device is FDA cleared for several uses, including strengthening and toning of the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, calves and arms, and non-invasive fat breakdown and circumference reduction in areas such as the abdomen and thighs. It is also cleared, under medical supervision, for rehabilitative muscle stimulation in the arms or legs, such as muscle re-education and helping prevent or slow disuse atrophy.
At FTG Ortho in Aventura, our orthopedic team uses EMSCULPT NEO in three ways: muscle strengthening and body contouring, muscle strengthening as part of an orthopedic recovery plan, and as a complement to our physician-guided GLP-1 weight loss program.
02 / How It Works
EMSCULPT NEO delivers two types of energy through one applicator at the same time. HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) energy causes strong, involuntary muscle contractions, while RF energy heats the treated area. BTL states this combination is designed to build and strengthen muscle while targeting fat.
FDA records describe the device, cleared under the name BTL-899, as combining bipolar radiofrequency with electromagnetic muscle stimulation. You lie back while the applicator is strapped over the treatment area, and the team adjusts intensity for your comfort.
BTL describes the feeling as intense muscle contractions plus a warming sensation in the treated area, comparable to a hot stone massage. Each session lasts about 30 minutes, and BTL states there is no downtime.
03 / Key Technology
Here are the main features BTL describes for the EMSCULPT NEO platform.
Focused electromagnetic energy triggers strong muscle contractions designed to strengthen and tone the treated muscles.
Radiofrequency energy heats the area during the same session. BTL states it is designed to target stubborn fat.
BTL states each treatment is a combined 30-minute session for muscle and fat in the treated area.
No needles, incisions or anesthesia. BTL states there is no downtime, so most people return to their routine right after.
BTL offers large, small and Edge applicators to fit areas like the abdomen, flanks, buttocks, thighs, arms and calves.
Cleared for muscle toning, fat breakdown in specific areas and, under medical supervision, rehabilitative muscle stimulation in arms and legs.
04 / Potential Benefits
At FTG Ortho, we focus EMSCULPT NEO on these goals, and results vary from person to person.
Cleared to help strengthen and firm the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, calves and arms with no gym equipment involved.
Cleared for non-invasive fat breakdown and circumference reduction of the abdomen and thighs, with flanks and upper arms for certain skin types.
Under medical supervision, it is cleared for muscle re-education and to help prevent or slow disuse atrophy in the arms or legs.
Its muscle stimulation clearance includes maintaining or increasing range of motion, which may support an overall rehab plan.

FAQs
Answers to common questions about EMSCULPT NEO at FTG Ortho in Aventura, FL.
EMSCULPT NEO is not usually described as painful, but it does feel intense. BTL says patients feel strong muscle contractions and a heating sensation, comparable to a hot stone massage. Your provider adjusts the intensity during the session, so tell them if anything feels uncomfortable. Many people get used to the feeling within the first few minutes.
BTL states the typical protocol is four 30-minute sessions scheduled 5 to 10 days apart. Your actual plan depends on your goals and the areas being treated. At FTG Ortho, your provider recommends a plan after a consultation, especially if EMSCULPT NEO is part of a rehab plan or our GLP-1 weight loss program.
No. BTL states there is no downtime, and most people return to their normal routine right after a session. Some people notice their muscles feel worked, similar to after a hard workout. If you are recovering from an injury or surgery, follow the activity guidance from your FTG Ortho provider.
EMSCULPT NEO is not right for everyone. BTL states it is for patients 18 and older and should be used under medical supervision, with the full list of contraindications in the device manual. Tell our team about any pacemaker or electronic implant, metal implants such as joint hardware, pregnancy, or other health conditions so we can decide whether it is safe for you.
FTG Ortho uses EMSCULPT NEO for muscle strengthening and body contouring, for muscle strengthening as part of orthopedic recovery and rehab plans, and alongside our physician-guided GLP-1 weight loss program.
