What Are the Most Commonly Treated Areas in Body Sculpting?

Do you have that little bit of belly fat, the skin texture on your thighs, or the back of your arms that feel less toned than you’d like? It’s frustrating, right? You’re strong and healthy, but these stubborn areas can put a damper on your confidence.

This is exactly why so many people are turning to body sculpting. At Beauty at the Lake, we get questions like, “What can it actually do, and for what parts of my body?” We’re going to break down the most common body sculpting treatment areas, what bothers people about them, and how modern treatments can make a real difference.

1. The Abdomen (Belly)

The abdomen is, by far, the most popular of all areas targeted by body sculpting. It’s the spot where fat seems to love to settle and hate to leave. This area is notoriously difficult to spot-reduce with crunches alone, as strong abdominal muscles can remain hidden under a layer of subcutaneous fat.

For this concern, technology like the EMSCULPT NEO® is a game-changer, as it is the first treatment to simultaneously eliminate fat and build muscle in a single 30-minute session. The device utilizes radiofrequency heating to break down fat cells while employing high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM+) to induce powerful muscle contractions equivalent to performing 20,000 crunches.

The result is not just fat loss but a stronger, more defined core that creates a flatter, more toned stomach. For mothers, it has also been shown to help improve abdominal separation, making it an incredible body shaping treatment for one of the most common problem areas.

2. The Glutes (Buttocks)

A “flat” or “saggy” appearance in the buttocks is a common complaint, often resulting from age, genetics, or a sedentary lifestyle that can deactivate the glute muscles. Many people desire the round, strong shape that looks great in jeans or a swimsuit, but find it difficult to achieve through traditional exercise alone.

For this concern, EMSCULPT NEO® is an ideal solution, as the treatment is adjusted to focus primarily on powerful muscle contractions to build lift and shape. The procedure builds up the gluteal muscles responsible for a lifted, rounded appearance, similar to performing thousands of perfect squats and lunges without breaking a sweat. Strengthening and building the muscle tissue provides a natural-looking lift from the inside out.

3. “Bat Wings” of the Arms

The upper arms, specifically the tricep area, are a significant concern, especially for women. This area can feel a bit “jiggly” or loose, which can make people feel self-conscious in sleeveless tops.

This is a fantastic example of body sculpting for arms, belly, and legs. We again turn to EMSCULPT NEO® to target both the biceps and triceps. The applicators are designed to fit perfectly, building up that muscle definition and reducing fat. This gives the arm a firmer, more toned appearance.

Sometimes the issue isn’t just fat, but a bit of looseness or even cellulite on the arms. This is where we’d bring in EMTONE®. This device is a powerhouse for skin smoothness. It uses a combination of thermal (heat) and mechanical (pressure) energy to improve circulation and address the underlying causes of skin dimpling.

Using both treatments gives you a comprehensive approach- building the muscle underneath while smoothing the skin on top.

4. The Legs (Thighs & Calves)

Our legs do so much for us, especially here in Idaho! We need them to be strong. But they’re also a place where people often feel self-critical about their appearance.

For the legs, the complaints are usually one of three things:

Stubborn Fat: This often gathers on the inner thighs (“chafing”) or the outer thighs (“saddlebags”).

Muscle Definition: People want to see that separation in their quads or get that defined, athletic shape in their calves.

Cellulite: This is the big one. That dimpled, “orange-peel” texture can show up on the thighs and buttocks, no matter your size or fitness level.

This area showcases the benefits of body sculpting treatment better than anywhere else, because we can tackle all three concerns.

For Fat and Muscle: EMSCULPT NEO® is the answer. It can be used on the inner thighs, outer thighs, and front of the thighs to reduce fat and build muscle. It can even be used on the calves to create that strong, sculpted look.

For Cellulite: This is EMTONE®’s specialty. EMTONE® is the first and only device to treat all the main factors that contribute to cellulite. EMTONE® uses its dual-energy approach to warm the tissue, boost circulation, and disrupt those fibrous bands. This results in visibly smoother skin.

A combination of EMSCULPT NEO® and EMTONE® is an amazing strategy for thighs.

5. Other Common Trouble Spots

While the abdomen, glutes, arms, and legs are the most popular areas for body sculpting, the treatment options don’t stop there. The technology is versatile, and applicators are designed to fit other frustrating spots, including:

• Flanks (Love Handles): That bit of fat on the sides of the torso that can create a “muffin top.”
• Back Fat: The area along the bra line is a common request.

EMSCULPT NEO® can be applied to these regions to reduce the fat layer and help tone the underlying muscles, creating a smoother and more contoured back and waistline.
