Body contouring almost sounds too good to be true. Can you really sculpt your figure to look and feel the way you want? Do these treatments actually work?
At Revive Wellness Clinic, we offer body contouring in Starkville focused on reducing fat and building muscle — giving you functional benefits alongside aesthetic ones. Here is what you need to know.
What Can Body Contouring Do?
Body contouring improves your body shape by targeting muscle tone, skin texture, and fat distribution. Common causes that drive people toward these treatments include rapid weight loss, hormonal changes including menopause, decreased mobility, and shifts in diet or lifestyle.
Body contouring can encompass fat reduction, muscle building, skin tightening, and cellulite reduction — but not all treatments are created equal.
Popular Body Contouring Treatments
CoolSculpting
Primarily targets fat reduction using cold temperatures delivered through specialized paddles to destroy fat cells.
Morpheus8
Focuses on reducing scars, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture using a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production.
EXION
Improves skin texture and reduces excess fat through a combination of radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound technology.
Emsculpt NEO
Builds muscle and reduces fat simultaneously using radiofrequency and HIFEM technology — the treatment we chose to offer at Revive Wellness.

What Body Contouring Cannot Do
No body contouring treatment is a substitute for weight loss. However, treatments like Emsculpt NEO can help those who have already lost a significant amount of weight rebuild lost muscle mass and reduce remaining fat deposits.
Why We Chose Emsculpt NEO
When we decided to add body contouring to our offerings, we chose Emsculpt NEO because of its versatility and its ability to deliver both aesthetic and functional results. Most body contouring treatments focus on appearance alone. Emsculpt NEO also improves strength, posture, and mobility — which aligns with our broader approach to wellness.
How Does Emsculpt NEO Work?
Emsculpt NEO uses two technologies simultaneously: radiofrequency to break down fat cells, and HIFEM to build muscle. Both are delivered through paddles placed on the treatment area. Each 30-minute session induces up to 20,000 muscle contractions, building significant muscle mass in a short period of time. On average, Emsculpt NEO increases muscle by 25% and reduces fat by 30%.
Treatment Areas
Emsculpt NEO can treat areas that are often difficult to target with exercise alone:
- Abs
- Love handles
- Flanks
- Glutes
- Thighs
- Arms
- Calves
We often pair Emsculpt NEO with Emsella for patients who also want to strengthen the pelvic floor, improve urinary incontinence, or enhance sexual function.
Lasting Results
Most treatment plans involve 4 to 6 sessions over several weeks. Many patients notice results after their first treatment, but completing the full plan produces the best and longest-lasting outcomes. With a continued exercise routine and healthy diet, results can be maintained indefinitely.
“When I decided to add Emsculpt NEO to our services at Revive Wellness, I quickly realized that the benefits are not always about the perfect six-pack or impressive biceps. While we certainly see this in our patients, what I have been most excited about is the ability to improve function through muscle strengthening. We have had patients with chronic back issues, weakened abdominal muscles after pregnancy, and deconditioned muscles after weight loss. From that standpoint we have helped people not only look better, but more importantly feel better and have a more active lifestyle.”
