What is Functional Wellness?

Functional wellness is a holistic approach to health that optimizes the body’s movement, mobility, and overall function. The goal is to support whole-body wellness and improve daily quality of life by addressing the root causes of health concerns, not just treating symptoms. Now, thanks to the latest upgrade available from BTL INDUSTRIES, we’re thrilled to offer functional wellness treatments here at Artemedica with EMSCULPT NEO!

EMSCULPT NEO for Functional Wellness

EMSCULPT NEO is a revolutionary body-contouring treatment that not only burns fat and builds muscle but also offers clinically proven functional wellness benefits. By using a combination of radiofrequency (RF) heat and heat and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM+) technology, EMSCULPT NEO can rehabilitate, strengthen, and support critical muscle groups—without the need for rigorous exercise.

  • Radiofrequency (RF) Heating: Gentle yet powerful RF heat helps boost blood circulation, relax muscles, and improve tissue flexibility. These benefits work together to reduce stiffness and improve joint and muscle movement.
  • HIFEM+ Energy: This induces deep muscle contractions to strengthen muscles and improve neuromuscular coordination, which enhances stability and overall movement efficiency.

It’s time to rethink what’s possible when it comes to your wellness routine. EMSCULPT NEO is here to help you look and feel amazing from the inside out:

  • Preventing Disuse Muscle Atrophy: helps keep muscles active and engaged to prevent and address muscle loss
  • Preventing Blood Clots (venous thrombosis): boosts circulation during periods of disuse to prevent blood clotting (venous thrombosis)
  • Muscle Re-Education: helps strengthen and retrain muscles for improved stability, balance, and mobility following periods of disuse
  • Reducing Muscle Spasms: heats, strengthens, and soothes muscles to reduce stiffness and prevent painful spasms
  • Increased Range of Motion: targets stiff or weakened areas to help your body move more efficiently
  • Improved Blood Circulation: triggers powerful muscle contractions that naturally improve blood circulation, which boosts recovery times, soothes soreness after workouts, and supports better tissue health overall
  • Improved Mobility: makes it easier to navigate daily tasks by strengthening muscles and improving joint health

Muscle Tension

EMSCULPT NEO stimulates deep muscle contractions and better blood flow to loosen tight or overworked muscles. This can work wonders for soothing stiffness, reducing muscle spasms, increasing range of motion, and improving overall muscle function. It’s similar to a warm massage—just more powerful with stronger, clinically proven results over time.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is all about improving joint and muscle function to support recovery after injury, surgery, or periods of disuse. Through stretches, exercises, and intentional movement practices, it helps retrain the body to improve mobility and daily quality of life. EMSCULPT NEO Functional Wellness shares these same goals, making it the perfect complement to physical therapy.

Post-Surgery Recovery

Recovering from any surgical procedure can be a long, painful, and challenging process. It may require you to go through a period of rest without exercise, which can lead to muscle atrophy over time, making it even harder to regain lost strength once you’re ready to get back on your feet. EMSCULPT NEO Functional Wellness treatments help you maintain muscle mass during the recovery process to prevent atrophy from happening in the first place. And even if atrophy has already occurred, it can help you regain lost muscle and increase strength by up to 3x.1

Post-Injury Rehabilitation

Keeping your joints and muscles active is essential for maintaining strength while recovering from an injury, but this can be challenging when you’re not ready to return to your regular fitness routine. EMSCULPT NEO has the same effect on your body as weeks of exercise, all while you’re relaxing in one of our treatment rooms. It keeps key muscle groups engaged while you’re recovering to help prevent disuse atrophy and improve functionality so you can bounce back stronger than you were before. Plus, in a clinical study, 80% of participants felt their muscles were less prone to further injury after completing a full EMSCULPT NEO Functional Wellness program.1

Age-Related Muscle Loss (Sarcopenia)

Did you know that after age 30, your muscle mass decreases about 3-8% each decade?3 And after age 60, this rate is even higher. Age-related muscle loss, also known as sarcopenia, is completely natural, but it can have a significant effect on mobility and daily quality of life. EMSCULPT NEO Functional Wellness treatments can help address this and improve functionality by increasing muscle mass by up to 25% in targeted areas.

Clinical Studies and Evidence-Backed Results

EMSCULPT NEO is an amazing tool for functional wellness—but don’t just take our word for it! This treatment is clinically tested and FDA-cleared to bring you the results you deserve. Check out these exciting clinical studies:

Muscle Function

In a clinical study, orthopedic researchers explored how EMSCULPT NEO can improve muscle function. It involved 32 participants between the ages of 32 to 83 experiencing muscle atrophy after injury, surgery, or inactivity. They were split into two groups: an active group that underwent genuine treatment and a sham group that received false intervention.

The active group was given four 30-minute EMSCULPT NEO sessions—and the results were incredible!

  • 95% reported improved comfort during physical activities
  • 3x increase in muscle strength
  • 90% reported muscle re-education (improved control and coordination)
  • 80% felt their muscles were less prone to injury

Joint Function 

Researchers also explored how EMSCULPT NEO can benefit joint function in a clinical study involving 31 patients. These participants all had different joint conditions and ranged in age from 23 to 78. After giving each patient four 30-minute EMSCULPT NEO treatments, these were the results:

  • 87% experienced reduced discomfort during daily activities 
  • 83% reported increased range of motion
  • 91% said their treated joints feel better
  • 78% noted improved mobility, making it easier to move confidently

Roderic Wallace Trusts Dr. Victor Lacombe

“Probably one of Dr. Lacombe’s greatest assets is his intuitive understanding of what it takes to create a very natural yet aesthetically pleasing result. In my case, a brow lift opened up my eyes, a subtle lift to the tip of my drooping nose dealt with the negative effects of gravity, a small chin implant balanced a newly sculpted neck and stronger jaw line… yes, a number of procedures done at one time, but oh so worth it in the long run. I can enthusiastically endorse Victor as one of the finest plastic surgeons around.*”
