Appointments, Pricing & Logistics
How do I schedule a consultation?
You can request an appointment through our website’s contact/booking form or by calling our office. During your consultation, we’ll review your goals, health history, and treatment options and create a personalized plan.
Do you offer free consultations?
For many aesthetic and wellness services (such as body contouring, facial rejuvenation, cellulite, and some sleep/snoring options), we offer complimentary or low-cost consults where we:
-
Assess your concerns
-
Explain technologies like EMSCULPT NEO, EMFACE, EMSELLA, EMTONE, NightLase, etc.
-
Review candidacy and general pricing ranges
Exact offers can vary over time, so please contact us for current details.
How much do treatments cost?
Pricing depends on:
-
The specific service (for example, EMTONE vs. EMSCULPT NEO vs. IV infusions)
-
The number of sessions recommended

Treatment areas and complexity
For example, EMTONE body-contouring packages are typically customized after an in-person assessment, and costs vary based on area size and number of sessions.
We review all costs and available payment options with you before starting any treatment.
Do you offer financing or payment plans?
Yes. For larger treatment plans (like body sculpting, facial series, or sleep apnea solutions), we often offer package savings and may have third-party financing options available. Our team will walk you through current promotions and payment options during your visit.
Do you accept insurance?
Most aesthetic, IV, and non-surgical wellness treatments are considered elective and are not covered by insurance. Some sleep-related solutions may be eligible for partial reimbursement if coordinated with your physician and insurer, but we are not able to guarantee coverage. We’re happy to provide documentation you can share with your provider upon request.
EMSCULPT NEO – Body Sculpting & Strength
What is EMSCULPT NEO and how does it work?
EMSCULPT NEO is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that simultaneously builds muscle and reduces fat in a 30-minute session. It combines:
-
Radiofrequency (RF) to gently heat fat cells, leading to their natural, permanent breakdown
-
HIFEM+ electromagnetic energy to trigger supramaximal muscle contractions—stronger than what you can achieve in a regular workout
On average, clinical studies show up to 25% more muscle and 30% less fat in the treated area, after a series of sessions.
What areas can be treated with EMSCULPT NEO?
Common treatment zones include:
-
Abdomen
-
Glutes (buttocks)
-
Front, back, and inner/outer thighs
-
Calves
-
Biceps and triceps
-
Flanks (love handles)
How many EMSCULPT NEO sessions will I need and when will I see results?
Most people start with 4–8 sessions, usually once per week. Many feel tighter and stronger after just one treatment, with full results developing over about 90 days after the final session as fat is cleared and muscle strengthens.
Is there any downtime with EMSCULPT NEO?
No. Treatments are non-invasive with no needles, no anesthesia, and no downtime. You may feel like you did a very intense workout, but you can return to your normal activities immediately.
EMFACE – Non-Invasive Facial Lifting & Double Chin
What is EMFACE and what does it treat?
EMFACE is a 20-minute, non-invasive face treatment that addresses both skin quality and facial muscle tone at the same time. It combines:
-
Synchronized RF to stimulate collagen and elastin, improving texture and firmness
-
HIFES™ muscle stimulation to lift and tone key facial muscles
Applicators can target the forehead, cheeks, chin, and jawline to soften lines and create a more lifted, contoured look.
What is EMFACE Submentum for double chin?
EMFACE Submentum is designed specifically for the under-chin area. It works on muscle, fat, and skin in one 20-minute session to reduce the appearance of a double chin and improve jawline definition—without needles or surgery.
How many EMFACE sessions are recommended, and is there downtime?
The standard protocol is 4 sessions, spaced about one week apart. EMFACE has no downtime, so you can go back to work or social activities right away. Many notice lifting or tightness early, with best results around 90 days after the final treatment.
EMSELLA & Pelvic Floor / Core-to-Floor
What is EMSELLA and who is it for?
EMSELLA is a non-invasive pelvic floor treatment that uses HIFEM® energy to deliver thousands of powerful pelvic floor muscle contractions in a 28-minute session—similar to doing an intense Kegel workout while fully clothed.
It’s designed for women and men who experience:
-
Urinary leakage with coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercise (stress incontinence)
-
Sudden, urgent needs to urinate (urge incontinence)
-
Mixed incontinence or general pelvic floor weakness
What does an EMSELLA treatment feel like and how many sessions will I need?
You sit comfortably in a special chair and feel tingling and deep contractions in your pelvic floor muscles. Most people find it unusual but very tolerable. A typical plan is 6 sessions, done twice per week for three weeks. Many notice improvement in bladder control within a few sessions, with full results developing over several weeks.
Are there people who should not use EMSELLA?
EMSELLA is not appropriate for individuals with:
-
Certain metal implants
-
Tumors in the treatment area
-
Pregnancy
-
Specific heart disorders (for example, some pacemakers)
We will review your medical history carefully to determine if EMSELLA or a different approach is safest for you.
EMTONE – Cellulite & Skin Tightening
What is EMTONE and how does it help with cellulite?
EMTONE is the first device to combine radiofrequency (RF) and targeted pressure energy to address all major contributing factors to cellulite and skin laxity at once. RF remodels collagen and elastin for smoother, tighter skin, while pressure energy helps break up enlarged fat pockets and metabolic waste, and improves circulation.
Does EMTONE hurt and how long does each session take?
Most patients describe EMTONE as feeling like a hot stone massage combined with firm tapping or vibration, not painful. Sessions usually last 15–45 minutes, depending on the treatment area, typically once per week for about 4 weeks.
When will I see EMTONE results?
Some people notice smoother skin after a single treatment, and results typically continue to improve over the next few months as collagen rebuilds and circulation increases.
IV Infusion Therapy
What is IV infusion therapy and why do people choose it?
IV infusion delivers vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream, allowing for near 100% absorption compared to oral supplements. When properly supervised, it is a comfortable, safe, and effective way to support energy, immune function, hydration, and recovery.
What types of IV treatments do you offer?
Some of our options include:
-
Myers’ Cocktail / Mega Myers – blends magnesium, calcium, B-vitamins, and vitamin C; used to support fatigue, migraines, immune health, and more
-
Vitamin B12 shots – support red blood cell formation, energy, metabolism, focus, and mood
-
Vitamin C and Vitamin D – help support immune health, collagen, bones, and healthy inflammation response
-
Glutathione – a powerful antioxidant for oxidative stress, detox support, and aging
-
Hydrogen Peroxide infusion – aimed at supporting immune response and tissue oxygenation
-
NAD+ – supports cellular energy, DNA repair, and cognitive function
We’ll help you choose the infusion that best matches your goals and medical guidance.
What should I expect during an IV therapy visit?
You’ll relax in a comfortable, spa-like room in our Clearwater clinic while your infusion is administered. Most sessions last under an hour. We’ll monitor you throughout the treatment and provide after-care guidance.
Sleep Apnea, Snoring & Airway Health
How do I know if I might have sleep apnea?
Common signs include:
-
Loud, chronic snoring
-
Waking up gasping or choking
-
Morning headaches or sore throat
-
Daytime fatigue, mood changes, or trouble concentrating
Sleep apnea is very common—about 30 million people in the U.S. have it, and many remain undiagnosed.
We do not diagnose sleep apnea; diagnosis must be made by a qualified medical provider or sleep specialist. We can, however, help you explore treatment options once a diagnosis is made.
What sleep apnea and snoring treatments are available at your clinic?
Depending on your exam findings and your doctor’s diagnosis, we may recommend:
-
Mandibular advancement devices to gently move the lower jaw forward at night, opening the airway
-
NightLase® laser therapy, which tightens tissues in the throat and soft palate to reduce snoring and improve airflow
-
EMFACE in some cases to support facial muscle function as part of a broader plan
-
Growth-oriented oral appliances such as VIVOS®, SomnoDent®, Homeoblock, or Myobrace® to help expand the oral cavity and support healthier facial and jaw development over time
Your exact plan is tailored to your anatomy, age, and medical status in coordination with your medical or dental providers.
What is NightLase and how does it help with snoring?
NightLase is a gentle, non-surgical laser treatment that uses Er:YAG energy to tighten slack tissues in the mouth and throat that contribute to snoring and mild sleep apnea. No anesthesia is required. A typical protocol involves 3 sessions over about 6 weeks, with results often lasting around a year before a maintenance session may be needed.
What is Myobrace and who is it for?
Myobrace® is a series of removable oral appliances, combined with specific myofunctional (muscle and breathing) exercises, designed to:
-
Encourage nasal (not mouth) breathing
-
Improve tongue posture
-
Gently guide jaw growth and create more space for teeth and airway
It’s used for children, teens, and adults, often over 2–3 years, and can sometimes reduce or avoid the need for traditional braces and support better sleep and breathing.
Vaginal Rejuvenation & Intimate Wellness
What is “natural” vaginal rejuvenation?
Our vaginal rejuvenation approach is non-surgical and holistic, focused on restoring tissue health, comfort, and function by improving blood flow and tissue quality rather than cutting or removing tissue. Benefits may include improved lubrication, comfort, and confidence.
Who can benefit from vaginal rejuvenation?
Many women consider this treatment if they experience:
-
Vaginal dryness or irritation
-
Discomfort during intimacy
-
Changes after childbirth or menopause
-
Mild urinary leakage or pelvic laxity
-
A general desire to feel more toned and confident in the area
We’ll review your medical history and goals to determine if you’re a good candidate or if another pelvic-floor option (such as EMSELLA) would be more appropriate.
Regenerative Skincare – FACTORFIVE
What is FACTORFIVE and why is it different?
FACTORFIVE is a professional skincare line that uses human stem-cell–derived growth factors (from ethically sourced adult adipose-derived stem cells) to support skin repair and rejuvenation. These growth factors are formulated with peptide complexes and other actives to address wrinkles, texture, redness, and skin thickness.
Products include:
-
Regenerative Serum
-
Anti-aging cream
-
Night Retinol cream
-
Eye & Lash cream
-
Post-treatment kits for in-office procedures
What skin concerns can FACTORFIVE products help with?

-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Sun spots and discoloration
-
Skin laxity and thinning
-
Uneven texture and enlarged pores
-
Redness and visible irritation
We’ll recommend a regimen based on your skin type, sensitivity, and any procedures you’re receiving.
What is Myobrace and who is it for?
Myobrace® is a series of removable oral appliances, combined with specific myofunctional (muscle and breathing) exercises, designed to:
-
Encourage nasal (not mouth) breathing
-
Improve tongue posture
-
Gently guide jaw growth and create more space for teeth and airway
It’s used for children, teens, and adults, often over 2–3 years, and can sometimes reduce or avoid the need for traditional braces and support better sleep and breathing.
Safety, Eligibility & Medical Precautions
Are these treatments safe?
All technologies we use—EMSCULPT NEO, EMFACE, EMSELLA, EMTONE, NightLase, and our IV therapies—are FDA-cleared or medically supervised where applicable. However, no treatment is right for everyone. We carefully review your medical history, medications, and any implants or conditions before recommending a plan.
For example, people with certain metal implants, pacemakers, or other active devices may not be candidates for some RF or electromagnetic treatments, and those who are pregnant or have specific heart or tumor conditions may be advised to avoid certain procedures.
Can I do these treatments if I have metal implants, a heart stent, or mercury fillings?
It depends on:
-
The type and location of your implant or device
-
The specific treatment you’re considering (e.g., EMSELLA vs. IV therapy vs. NightLase)
-
Your overall health and your physician’s recommendations
Because various medical devices and metal implants can interact with RF, magnetic, or electrical energy, we will require a detailed health history and may request clearance from your physician before proceeding.
