Body Contouring

Two devices, one plan — reduce fat with TruSculpt iD, build muscle with Emsculpt NEO. No surgery, no downtime.

01 — OVERVIEW

About Body Contouring

Body contouring at Miami Skin Spa is built around two FDA-cleared devices used together or alone: [Emsculpt NEO](/services/emsculpt-neo/) builds muscle while reducing fat, and [TruSculpt iD](/services/trusculpt-id/) melts stubborn fat pockets in 15-minute sessions. We match the right device — or the right combination — to your body and goals at a free consult in Brickell.

Non-surgical body contouring is not one treatment, it is a category. The two most-requested options at Miami Skin Spa are [Emsculpt NEO](/services/emsculpt-neo/), the only device that builds muscle and burns fat in the same 30-minute session, and [TruSculpt iD](/services/trusculpt-id/), a monopolar RF device that permanently destroys stubborn fat cells in a single 15-minute session per area. Most patients ask "which one is right for me?" — the honest answer is that it depends on whether your goal is more muscle, less fat, or both. This page walks through both options side by side. Book a free consult and we will photograph the areas, assess the fat-to-muscle ratio, and recommend a plan — sometimes one device, often both stacked.

Two Devices. One Plan. No Surgery.

Non-surgical body contouring at Miami Skin Spa runs on two FDA-cleared devices, used alone or stacked together:

  • Emsculpt NEO — Builds 25% more muscle AND burns 30% more fat in the same 30-minute session. The only device on the market that does both.
  • TruSculpt iD — Permanently destroys 24% of fat cells in the treatment area in a single 15-minute session per body part.

You do not have to pick one. Many of our patients in Brickell run them in sequence: TruSculpt iD to clear the fat, Emsculpt NEO to build the muscle underneath. The combo is what produces the "sculpted" look most patients are actually after.

Which One Do You Pick?

Pick [Emsculpt NEO](/services/emsculpt-neo/) if you want:

  • Visible muscle definition (abs, glutes, arms)
  • Fat reduction AND tone in one device
  • The "athletic" or "shredded" look on top of an already-fit base
  • A treatment that mimics the effect of HIIT without the gym

Pick [TruSculpt iD](/services/trusculpt-id/) if you want:

  • A stubborn fat pocket gone — period
  • The fastest possible single-session result (15 minutes, one and done)
  • A treatment that works on every skin type and over tattoos
  • A targeted spot fix without committing to a 4-session course

Stack both ([Emsculpt NEO](/services/emsculpt-neo/) + [TruSculpt iD](/services/trusculpt-id/)) if you want:

  • Serious recomposition — less fat, more muscle in the same area
  • The full "sculpted" look most patients have in mind
  • One coordinated plan instead of two siloed device decisions

We will tell you at the consult which path makes sense for your body and goals. If you are more than 15–20 lbs from goal weight, we will probably recommend pairing with medical weight loss first — body contouring is for the last 10–15%, not the first 50.

Areas We Treat

Both Emsculpt NEO and TruSculpt iD handle most common contouring areas — what differs is which device wins for each:

Skin Laxity After Fat Reduction

Removing fat sometimes reveals loose skin underneath — common after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. Both Emsculpt NEO and TruSculpt iD include some RF skin-tightening as a side effect, but they are not dedicated tightening devices. If laxity is the issue, we layer in Morpheus8 Body — RF microneedling specifically designed to tighten arms, abdomen, thighs, and the back of knees. Many of our best B&As are a three-device stack: TruSculpt + Emsculpt NEO + Morpheus8 Body.

What About Cellulite?

Cellulite is a different problem from fat or muscle laxity — it is a structural issue with fibrous bands tethering the skin. Neither Emsculpt NEO nor TruSculpt iD is a cellulite treatment. For dimpling on thighs and glutes, see our dedicated cellulite reduction page.

Pricing — Both Devices

We do not bury pricing on this page — full pay-per-session, package, and monthly-financing tables live on the device pages:

24-month financing through Cherry and Affirm available on both — most patients qualify for low monthly payments. The consult is free and ends with a written quote.

Who Is and Isn't a Candidate

Good candidates are within 15–20 lbs of goal weight, in general good health, with realistic expectations about gradual change. The consult is free and we will be honest about whether you are a fit for either device.

Not candidates:

  • Pregnant or nursing
  • Active infections at the treatment area
  • For Emsculpt NEO: BMI above 35, metal/electronic implants in the area (pacemaker, IUD adjacent to the field)
  • For TruSculpt iD: less than ~0.75 cm subcutaneous fat in the target area, weak kidney/liver function

We screen for all of these at the consult before booking any treatment.

Book Your Consult

Free, 20–30 minutes, no commitment. We photograph the areas, walk through both Emsculpt NEO and TruSculpt iD options, recommend a sequence, and quote pricing — all before you commit to anything.

05 — QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions.

Short version: if you want more muscle definition AND less fat, pick [Emsculpt NEO](/services/emsculpt-neo/) — it does both in one 30-minute session and is best for abdomen, arms, glutes, and thighs. If you have a stubborn fat pocket and just want it gone (no muscle goal), pick [TruSculpt iD](/services/trusculpt-id/) — one 15-minute session per area, 24% fat reduction on average. Many of our patients stack both: TruSculpt to melt the fat, Emsculpt NEO to build the muscle underneath.

Yes — and we recommend it for most patients seeking serious contour change. The sequence is usually [TruSculpt iD](/services/trusculpt-id/) first to destroy fat cells, then [Emsculpt NEO](/services/emsculpt-neo/) sessions over the following weeks to build muscle in the same area. The two devices target different tissue layers and work synergistically.

[Emsculpt NEO](/services/emsculpt-neo/): 4 sessions over 2 weeks. [TruSculpt iD](/services/trusculpt-id/): 1 session per area for the 40 cm² applicator, 2–4 sessions for the smaller 16 cm² hand-piece. [Morpheus8 Body](/services/morpheus8-body/) (if added for skin tightening): 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

For mild to moderate fat and muscle concerns, yes — with no downtime and none of the surgical risk. For dramatic contour changes or major skin excess after weight loss, surgery may be more appropriate and we will tell you that at the consult. Many patients pair [medical weight loss](/services/medical-weight-loss/) with non-surgical contouring to bridge the gap.

[TruSculpt iD](/services/trusculpt-id/): visible after 2–3 weeks, maximum at 8–12 weeks. [Emsculpt NEO](/services/emsculpt-neo/): muscle improvements visible in as little as 2 weeks; fat reduction visible at 3 months and continues to develop.

No downtime for either device. Both treatments are non-invasive, no needles, no incisions. You walk out and resume normal activity the same day.

Best candidates are within 15–20 lbs of their goal weight with stubborn fat or muscle definition goals. For [Emsculpt NEO](/services/emsculpt-neo/) specifically we treat patients up to BMI 35. For [TruSculpt iD](/services/trusculpt-id/) we need at least 0.75–1 cm of subcutaneous fat in the target area. The consult is free and we will tell you honestly if a different path — like [medical weight loss](/services/medical-weight-loss/) — is a better fit.

Pricing depends on areas treated and which device(s) you choose. [Emsculpt NEO](/services/emsculpt-neo/) packages start at $2,000 for 4 sessions on one area. [TruSculpt iD](/services/trusculpt-id/) starts at $1,000 per area for one session. Full pricing on each service page, with package savings and Cherry/Affirm financing available. Free consult gives you a written quote.

Both [Emsculpt NEO](/services/emsculpt-neo/) and [TruSculpt iD](/services/trusculpt-id/) are FDA-cleared. Performed by trained providers in a medical aesthetics setting. Side effects are minor — temporary redness, soreness, mild tenderness — and resolve within hours to days.
