At Heights Plastic Surgery, we approach body contouring in Houston through the lens of Emsculpt NEO. This is a straightforward, non-surgical method for patients who want to refine their physique without the commitments of surgery.
The Emsculpt NEO body contouring treatment uses a pairing of radiofrequency heat and high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy. While the thermal energy works to permanently damage fat cells, the electromagnetic pulses trigger thousands of intense muscle contractions. These are “supramaximal” contractions, reaching an intensity you simply cannot replicate through standard exercise or at the gym. It is a dual-action process that simultaneously burns fat and builds muscle tone in a single thirty-minute body contouring procedure.
Achieve the physique of your dreams with Emsculpt NEO. Optimal body contouring results are typically visible 6 weeks after your last treatment. View All Before & Afters
Most people maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine but still hit a wall with specific areas of their body. This body contouring treatment is designed to bridge the gap when lifestyle changes alone stop showing progress.
We often see patients with a specific pocket of stubborn fat on the abdomen, hips, or thighs that stays put despite weight loss. The Emsculpt NEO treatment targets these fat cells, breaking them down so the body can naturally remove fat through the metabolic process.
Sometimes the issue isn’t fat, but a lack of underlying muscle tone. Whether it is due to the aging process or just a plateau in training, this technology results in increased muscle mass, giving the core or the buttocks a firmer appearance.
Pregnancy can lead to a physical separation of the abdominal muscles, leaving a gap that traditional exercise often fails to close. The intense muscle contractions from body contouring with Emsculpt NEO help pull these muscles back into alignment. It creates a flatter, functionally stronger abdomen that feels stable again.

Body contouring in Houston, TX is a refinement tool for the work you are already doing. It allow for changes in physique that are difficult to achieve through diet alone.
The best candidates for an Emsculpt NEO body contouring treatment are active women and men who are already near their ideal weight. It is not a weight loss solution, but a way to tighten the shape of arms, thighs, or the abdomen.
There are a few strict safety rules. You should not perform this procedure if you are pregnant or if you have metal implants, like a pacemaker, near the treated area. During your visit, our Houston plastic surgeon will review your history to ensure the electromagnetic energy is a safe fit for your aesthetic goals.
When you visit our Houston office, we start with an assessment of your physique. Drs. Downey and Bullocks only recommend this body contouring procedure if it can actually achieve the appearance you want. If you have loose skin or excess fat from significant weight loss, we might suggest a surgical route like a tummy tuck, liposuction, or a breast lift for optimal results.
Preparation is simple. Drink plenty of water before your session to help your body flush out the target fat cells. On the day of your treatment, wear something loose so we can easily place the applicators on the upper arms, thighs, or abdomen.
We treat patients in a private room at Studio Essex.
Since there are no incisions, we do not need local anesthesia or numbing agents. You will feel a warming sensation from the heat followed by very intense muscle contractions. A standard procedure lasts 30 minutes, and most people find the process manageable.
While results vary, most patients notice their muscles feel tighter immediately.
The most noticeable results in fat reduction are seen about two to four weeks after your final session. Your body continues to process the fat cells for up to three months. We generally recommend a treatment plan of four sessions to reach your aesthetic goals.
There is zero recovery time required for this body contouring approach.
You won’t have to manage swelling or take time off work. You might feel mild muscle pain the next day—similar to a heavy workout—but it won’t stop you from your normal life.
To keep your new contour, consistent aftercare is vital.
While we remove fat cells permanently, the remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight. Maintaining a stable weight and a regular exercise routine is the best way to protect your physique.
The cost of body contouring in Houston reflects your customized treatment plan.
Since the treatment is non-surgical, there are no surgical facility or anesthetic fees. Your investment covers the technology and the expertise of our team. We provide a clear price after your consultation and offer financing to help manage the cost.
Before your body contouring, Houston Emsculpt NEO providers will sit down with you for a one-on-one consultation. During this time, we'll discuss factors such as your medical history, desired results, and any questions you may have about the process.
Houston body contouring experts, Drs. Downey and Bullocks, make recommendations on the ideal treatment plan to address your unique needs. This will include the number of Emsculpt NEO sessions required, and any complementary procedures we may recommend.
We'll set you up in one of our comfortable treatment rooms. A certified provider will strap on the Emsculpt NEO body contouring device and then will activate the device. You'll begin to feel muscle contractions along with a heating sensation, which indicates the device is doing its job! Then, all you have to do is sit back and relax. You're welcome to read, watch TV, or use your phone during your EmSculpt NEO session at Studio Essex.
At this time, we can schedule you for follow-up Emsculpt NEO sessions. The number of recommended sessions varies from patient to patient, but we recommend that everyone come back for maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months.
Studio Essex, the medical aesthetics clinic led by board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Downey and Dr. Bullocks, is proud to offer medical aesthetic technologies & services to residents of Houston. Our ultimate goal is to offer you a welcoming environment, a phenomenal patient experience, and cutting-edge technology that you won’t find anywhere else in Texas.
Emsculpt NEO is a revolutionary body contouring device that provides muscle stimulation in a strategic manner, helping you to achieve your goals faster. The NEO is the most cutting-edge version of its predecessor, Emsculpt. This treatment is unique in that it emits both radiofrequency and high intensity electromagnetic energy, resulting in simultaneous fat burning and muscle building!
The Emsculpt NEO body contouring applicator emits a powerful combination of radiofrequency and high intensity electromagnetic energy (HIFEM), which provides two effective methods of muscle toning. The radiofrequency quickly heats the the muscles, raising the temperature by several degrees. This heat reaches the subcutaneous fat cells, which permanently damages them. Your body then removes them as waste.
Additionally, the HIFEM is working to contract your muscles at a rate not possible from exercise alone. These intense contractions result in the fast paced growth of muscle fibers in the treatment area!
Emsculpt NEO Body Contouring should be used as an additional tool for a healthy lifestyle and is not intended as a weight loss program. The treatment is ideal for those within 10% to 15% of their ideal body weight who work out consistently and are otherwise healthy. Emsculpt NEO is a fantastic way to break down those stubborn areas of fat in the abdomen and buttocks that otherwise seem resistant to diet and exercise alone.
Much like a traditional workout, results are not immediate, but they are noticeable. You can expect to see results from your first Emsculpt NEO body contouring treatment in 2 to 4 weeks!
