Q: Will you collaborate with my doctor?

We regularly collaborate with physical therapists, surgeons, primary care physicians, obstetricians, and other healthcare providers to ensure coordinated care. Our goal is to support your entire health team so they can better help you achieve lasting wellness.

Q: Can I use Emsculpt after surgery?
A: Yes, Emsculpt can be very beneficial after surgery. By activating and strengthening muscles around the surgical site, Emsculpt accelerates recovery, improves circulation, reduces pain, and helps rebuild function safely. We always work closely with your surgeon or rehabilitation team to tailor treatments that promote optimal healing.

Q: I got hurt playing sports. Can you help me heal?
A: Yes, we can definitely support your recovery. Emsculpt Neo’s muscle re-education and strengthening capabilities promote faster healing from injuries by improving muscle tone and increasing blood flow. We collaborate closely with physical therapists to integrate our treatments into your overall rehabilitation program for the best outcomes.

Q: Can I use Emsculpt to look thinner or more muscular?
A: Yes! Emsculpt Neo reduces fat and builds muscle simultaneously, leading to a slimmer, more toned, and sculpted appearance. It targets stubborn areas that are difficult to shape through exercise alone, helping define muscle structure and improve overall body contour.

Q: Can Emsculpt replace exercise?
A: Emsculpt is a powerful complement to exercise but doesn’t replace the need for physical activity. While the treatment induces thousands of muscle contractions that build strength and tone, regular exercise is essential for cardiovascular health, flexibility, endurance, and overall wellness. Combining both gives you the best results.

Q: Is there anything I need to do to optimize my outcomes?
A: Yes, lifestyle factors significantly enhance treatment outcomes. Adequate protein intake supports muscle growth stimulated by Emsculpt by providing essential building blocks. Staying well-hydrated is crucial because these energy-based machines work with water molecules in your tissues to generate muscle contractions and heat fat cells. Proper sleep and balanced nutrition also help your body recover and maximize benefits.

About Our Packages

Q: What are the Mind-Body and Face-Mind-Body packages?
A: Our Mind-Body packages combine psychiatric care with physical therapies like TMS and Emsculpt Neo to enhance mental health, reduce chronic pain, and improve physical function. The Face-Mind-Body package adds Emface treatments for facial muscle restoration and skin rejuvenation, addressing aging, facial weakness, and aesthetic concerns alongside mind-body healing.

Philosophy Question

Q: As you age, would you rather have a healthy body or a healthy mind?

A: At Empower, the answer is simple: you need both. The mind and body are so deeply intertwined that isolating one from the other overlooks the true nature of health. Imagine a finely woven fabric—the threads represent your mind and body. Pull on one thread without the other, and the entire fabric risks unraveling. Chronic pain is a perfect example: it’s not just a physical sensation but a complex brain-body interaction involving the BERN (brain, emotions, respiration, and nutrition). Without addressing the brain’s role and nurturing the body simultaneously, healing remains incomplete. Our integrated mind-body treatments are designed to support this holistic balance, promoting longevity, wellness, and optimal function for life.
