There’s a moment during an Emsculpt Neo® session when patients usually start laughing a little.
Not because anything hurts. Quite the opposite.
It’s because the machine suddenly contracts muscles so deeply and intensely that most people realize pretty quickly: “Oh… this is definitely doing something.”
That was certainly the experience for Williamsburg resident Scott Wise.
“I mean, you really felt like afterwards, like you did a bunch of sit-ups,” Scott said after completing several sessions at Pinto Innovative Health & Wellness. “You could tell you definitely had an ab workout.”
For Scott, trying Emsculpt Neo® felt like a natural next step. He’s known Dr. Robert Pinto for more than three decades and was curious when the practice introduced the technology.
“I’ve always been open to new things,” he said. “Emily has done wonders for me, so I didn’t have any problems giving it a try. I mean… what could go wrong?”
As it turns out, quite a bit could go right.
More Than Aesthetic
One of the biggest misconceptions about Emsculpt Neo® is that it’s only about appearance.
Yes, many patients notice aesthetic improvements. Clothes fit better. Muscles look more toned. Core definition improves.
But according to Christine Lawrence, Pinto’s nutrition and lifestyle consultant, the bigger story is often functional.
“A lot of patients come in thinking this is just cosmetic,” Christine said. “Then they start noticing they feel stronger, more stable, and more connected to their muscles in everyday life. That’s when it really clicks for them.”
That’s because Emsculpt Neo® doesn’t just target fat. It uses advanced high-intensity electromagnetic energy to stimulate powerful muscle contractions that would be difficult—if not impossible—to achieve through voluntary exercise alone.
The treatment can help support:
- Core strength
- Functional stability
- Muscle development
- Rehabilitation and recovery
- Improved posture and movement
- Fat reduction
And all of it happens without surgery or downtime.
“It Felt Like I Had a Workout”
Scott describes the treatment in a way many patients do: unusual at first… but surprisingly comfortable.
“It kind of just grabs your abs and contracts your abs,” he explained. “Then you get this tapping sensation.”
That tapping phase is designed to help reduce buildup of lactic acid, which is one reason many patients don’t experience the soreness they would expect after an intense workout.
“If I had done 20,000 crunches, I definitely would’ve been sore,” Scott laughed. “But I felt fantastic.”
And the results?
“Oh, I felt like my abs were definitely getting stronger right away,” he said. “It was fantastic. I felt good, and I looked good.”
Why Emsculpt Week Matters
At Pinto Innovative Health & Wellness, Emsculpt Week is about introducing patients to a different way of thinking about strength, recovery, and function.
For some patients, that means rebuilding core stability after inactivity or injury. For others, it’s about improving performance, confidence, or body composition.
The common thread is function.
“We’re always looking for ways to help patients move and feel better,” Christine said. “Emsculpt Neo® fits beautifully into that mission because it can support both performance and recovery at the same time.”
And perhaps most importantly, it’s approachable.
You don’t have to be an athlete. You don’t have to already be “in shape.” You just have to want to feel stronger.
A Smarter Approach to Strength
One of the reasons Emsculpt Neo® has generated so much excitement is because it reflects a broader shift happening in healthcare.
People are no longer looking only for symptom relief. They want solutions that improve quality of life, energy, movement, and confidence.
That’s exactly where technologies like Emsculpt Neo® shine.
As Scott put it simply:
“I highly recommend it.”
