It's Not Too Late to Start Body Contouring Before Bikini Season

If you think you’ve run out of time to tone up before peak bikini season hits, think again. Modern medical technology has made it easier than ever to smooth and sculpt your physique without surgery or downtime.

At Internal Medicine Partners in Naples, Florida, physicians Alejandro Blanco, MD, and Ralph Rodriguez, MD, specialize in advanced body contouring treatments. We offer a range of cutting-edge options to help you reach your summer goals, including Emsculpt®, Emsculpt NEO®, and Emtone®.

Even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, some stubborn areas of fat, cellulite, and muscle laxity simply won’t budge on their own. Here’s how our body contouring treatments work to sculpt your silhouette in time for summer.

What exactly is body contouring?

Nonsurgical body contouring treatments apply targeted energy to refine and reshape your body. These procedures are not intended as a weight loss substitute, but a way to address specific areas that resist your diet and exercise efforts, such as the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, or upper arms.

The Emsculpt system uses patented high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, which induces over 20,000 powerful muscle contractions in a single 30-minute session. This rapid-fire activity strengthens and builds muscle while simultaneously breaking down fat cells.

Emsculpt NEO adds radiofrequency (RF) energy for even more effective fat loss and skin tightening. For those concerned with skin texture, Emtone combines thermal and mechanical energies to treat the root causes of cellulite. Our team can help you find the best combination of treatments to achieve your ideal beach body.

What to expect during your session

During your treatment, the team straps the applicator paddles to your target areas while you rest and relax. You’ll feel a series of intense muscle contractions, which most patients describe as a deep, rhythmic tapping or pulsing sensation rather than anything painful.

There are no needles, no incisions, and no recovery period once you leave our office. You might feel like you just finished a high-intensity workout, but you can immediately return to your day with no soreness or restrictions to slow you down.

Why now is the perfect time to start

While you may feel some initial firming immediately after your first session, the real results develop gradually as your body builds new muscle and clears fat cells over the following weeks. Most patients begin to see a noticeable difference in two to four weeks, with full results visible about two to three months after their final treatment.

Since the targeted fat cells are permanently destroyed, your results can last indefinitely as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Starting now ensures peak definition in time for the height of Florida’s year-round beach season.
