As leaders in non-invasive body sculpting since 2009, The Body Clinic loves combining treatments for a multi-dimensional approach. By combining our favorite devices, Emsculpt Neo & Emtone, Taut + Toned is our favorite way to build muscle, burn fat, tighten skin and reduce cellulite.
We love thinking of ways to maximize your results and our treatment plans can be customized to who you are. Pairing the Emsculpt NEO + Emtone has been a favorite for our patients and leads to even more transformative outcomes.
TONE MUSCLE, BURN MORE FAT, TIGHTEN SKIN
The Emsculpt NEO is the next generation in body contouring, being the only device to simultaneously tone muscle and reduce fat in an easy 30-minute treatment. The NEO combines the technology of Emsculpt with radio-frequency with electromagnetic muscle stimulation. The Emtone is the first and only device that simultaneously delivers both thermal and mechanical energy to tighten skin, reduce fat and treat cellulite. Combining these devices leads to even greater outcomes.
HOW DOES TAUT + TONED WORK?
EMSCULPT NEO is based on an applicator simultaneously emitting synchronized RF and HIFEM+ energies.
Due to the radiofrequency heating, the muscle temperature quickly rises by several degrees. This prepares muscles for exposure to stress, similar to what a warm-up activity does before any workout. In fewer than 4 minutes, the temperature in subcutaneous fat reaches levels that cause apoptosis, i.e. fat cells are permanently damaged and slowly removed from the body. Clinical studies showed on average a 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat.
HIFEM+ energy contracts the muscle fibers in the area at intensities that are not achievable during voluntary workouts. Extreme stress forces the muscle to adapt resulting in an increase in the number and growth of muscle fibers and cells. Clinical studies showed on average a 25% growth in muscle volume.
Emtone works by using a device that emits radio frequency and acoustic waves that help to enhance circulation. This combination leads to collagen production and increased fat reduction when combined with the Emsculpt NEO.
AM I CANDIDATE?
Anyone who is looking to tone up and slim down is a candidate for the Taut + Toned procedure. It’s also our first device that is effective on body types of up to 35 BMI!
Please note that if you have any metal located in the treatment area you will not be able to treat with Emsculpt NEO, but please contact our office as we have other options available.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
During your complimentary consultation, one of our body specialists will design your individual treatment plan. We typically recommend 6 treatments, scheduled every 7 - 10 days apart. Many people will opt for maintenance treatments as needed. Treatment for a single area takes approximately 30 minutes, but you may need to allow up to an hour in our office.
WHAT AREAS CAN I TREAT?
We can treat the abdomen, front of thighs, back of thighs, glutes, love handles and arms. Please contact us for a complimentary consultation to ensure you are the right candidate.
WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT FEEL LIKE? WILL I BE SORE AFTER?
During a Neo treatment, you will feel intense muscle contractions in the treatment area, coupled with warmth. It’s a strange feeling at first, but most people quickly get used to it and actually end up liking it, much like any new workout. The Emtone feels similar to a hot stone massage using mechanical energy and heat.
Due to the technology, even though you are experiencing muscle contractions, you are also quickly releasing lactic acid which helps to soothe muscles and prevent soreness associated with typical workouts.
WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS?
Tangible results can be felt (and sometimes seen!) right after your first treatment with positive results reported 12 weeks after the last session. Because the radio frequency side of the treatment is reducing fat cells, progressive ongoing results are expected.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?
Taut + Toned is non-invasive and carries with it little, if any downtime.
HOW DO I PREPARE?
Taut + Toned can only be applied on areas of the body which are free from excess hair. It is highly recommended that you shave the area on the day of your procedure. On the day of your procedure be sure to remove any jewelry in the treatment area. Other than that, there is no other necessary preparation required for a Neo treatment, although it’s always a good idea to come to your body treatments well hydrated.

Bay Area Cosmetic Dermatology Reviews
I always have the best experience here. From reception to the incredibly talented doctors and assistants .. it is always the best.
Dr. Welsh is the consummate skin care professional. She is thorough and inquisitive, extremely knowledgeable and informative. Her genuine concern for her patients is clear; and it is the hallmark of her practice. She is as lovely as she is brilliant. BACD treatment rooms share the widest possible variety of equipment designed to treat skin ailments. This investment by Dr. Welsh ensures that each patient will receive the specific and individual care best for the problem that brought them to her. If I could think of how to recommend her more highly, I would. I am grateful for the time Dr. welsh has accorded my family and me.
I have ordered Blink mascara twice from different sellers off Amazon and received products that are not "tubing" and instead flake off. This week I ordered/received "Blink" from Bay Area Cosmetic Dermatology and it is working as I remembered from the first time I tried it, not coming off in flakes, but in tubes. Thank you BACD for providing quality products. No "fakes" here!
After an excruciatingly long and painful search with multiple procedures around the world I finally found Dr. Austin at BACD, from scrolling Instagram no less! I began my journey with a plea to the front office staff to be treated by no one but her and after careful consideration was granted my request. I was clear in my initial consultation with Dr. Austin my priorities were progress and pain management, and even though there were some hiccups along the way, I'm glad we stayed the course. Dr. Austin attends conventions about my condition which primarily affects the highly melanated, and even though I've been treated by published specialists before, it's clear her approach is specialized and reflects the care and dedication she has to her patient's overall well-being. She involves students in her practice who hopefully will carry the torch for future generations to receive treatment and guidance from. Thank you, Dr. Austin!
I’ve been attending Bay Area Cosmetic Dermatologist for many years. All providers and their support staff are highly professional and supportive in their care. More recently, I’ve been seeing Steven He. M.D. and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an outstanding dermatologist who takes pride in his work.
