Both have a physical cause, and both respond to treatment that crunches, dieting, and kegels cannot reach. EMSculpt NEO clears stubborn fat and rebuilds the muscle under it. Emsella restores bladder control while you sit fully clothed. Dr. Bromberg has treated Cambridge patients for over forty years and supervises every plan himself.
Unlike med spas, every treatment plan at Bromberg Wellness is supervised by Dr. Steven J. Bromberg, a physician with over 40 years of clinical experience.
Destroy Fat with RF. Sculpt Muscle with HIFEM. 30 Minutes.
Most people book EMSculpt NEO to lose stubborn fat and see some definition. The radiofrequency side of the device heats fat cells until they break down, which reduces fat in the treated area by an average of 30%. While that is happening, electromagnetic pulses contract the muscle underneath far harder than you can manage voluntarily, and muscle mass goes up by about 25%. The strength gain is measurable. Patients tend to notice it first in their posture, and in how their back feels at the end of a long day.
Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor. Fully Clothed.
Emsella treats urinary incontinence and pelvic floor weakness without surgery or medication. You sit on the chair fully clothed for 28 minutes while electromagnetic pulses contract the pelvic floor around 11,000 times. That is far more work than anyone gets through doing kegels, and it reaches muscles most people cannot consciously find.

Most people find us searching for fat reduction and ab sculpting. What they discover is a doctor-supervised medical practice where dual-technology treatments deliver visible results AND real functional strength gains.
Radiofrequency (RF) energy heats fat cells to the point of permanent destruction through apoptosis. Your body naturally flushes these cells over weeks. The fat doesn't come back, because those cells no longer exist. Average reduction: 30%.
HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology triggers thousands of supramaximal contractions per session, contractions far more intense than anything you can achieve at the gym. Your muscles adapt, remodel, and grow. Average increase: 25%.
Patients come in wanting to lose fat and sculpt their abs. They leave with a measurably stronger core, better athletic performance, improved posture, and less back pain. The muscle HIFEM builds is real, functional muscle, not just cosmetic definition.
Dr. Steven J. Bromberg personally oversees every treatment plan. Not an aesthetician. Not a technician. A doctor with 40+ years of hands-on clinical care. Most Boston-area EMSculpt providers are aesthetician-led med spas.
EMSculpt NEO's dual HIFEM + RF technology is backed by 30+ peer-reviewed studies. FDA-cleared for both body contouring and functional wellness. We lead with data, not hype.
