We recognize that body image issues don’t discriminate—affecting women and men of all ages and backgrounds. We also realize that your self-image plays a big role in your self-worth, so we’re here to help you align your perceptions with your true beauty.
At Success by Design, we’re not just transforming bodies—we’re transforming lives. Everyone deserves to feel healthy and confident throughout every stage of life, and it doesn’t take unhealthy habits, surgery, or money and time wasted on ineffective “miracle” fixes to get there.
Here’s how we can safely expedite your fitness journey with revolutionary technologies like Emsculpt NEO in St. Petersburg.
What is Body Contouring?
We get it—not everyone is willing to commit to the cost, downtime, and risks associated with surgery. Body contouring offers a noninvasive alternative; targeting and killing fat cells without those strings attached.
No need to take off work or worry about scarring. We’re not adding any superficial implants, so you don’t have to fear looking “overdone,” either. These technologies enhance your physique, highlighting your natural beauty instead of overpowering it.
How do I decide between body contouring and medical weight loss?
At Success by Design, we offer a wide range of personalized wellness and aesthetic solutions because everyone’s journey looks different, especially when it comes to weight loss. Typically, we recommend body shaping in St. Petersburg for patients who are already close—within 20 pounds—to their ideal weight, using it to “spot treat” stubborn fat pockets.
If you’re not quite there yet, we may recommend starting your journey with medical weight loss in St. Petersburg to lower your BMI. We offer a range of science-backed appetite suppressants and weekly shots like semaglutide to safely expedite your transformation.
Here’s a closer look at Success by Design’s individualized approach to medical weight loss. ↓
That being said, we don’t automatically drop you into one of these programs simply based on your weight. In some cases, we may recommend hormone replacement therapy in St. Petersburg for those struggling with imbalance-related weight gain and muscle loss. For patients struggling with chronic joint pain, we may recommend Emsculpt NEO in St. Petersburg for functional purposes—helping them build muscle and lose weight without hurting themselves in the gym.
During your consultation, we’ll take the time to review your situation in-depth to determine which of these routes, which may include a combination of approaches, best suits your needs. Remember, weight loss and fat loss are different—weight loss refers to lowering your overall weight.
Deciding Between Technologies
We offer a range of innovative body contouring devices, including Emtone, Exion, and Emsculpt NEO in St. Petersburg. Beyond our state-of-the-art devices, it’s our team that truly sets us apart. We’ve spent years mastering the delicate balance of science and artistry so we can tailor our approach to help you meet your specific goals on your terms.
Remember, you don’t have to choose just one of these devices! We’ll help you determine if a combination of technologies can benefit you.
Emsculpt NEO
Emsculpt NEO has raised the bar for body contouring—going beyond killing fat to simultaneously build muscle! This one-of-a-kind system uses high-intensity electromagnetic therapy (HIFEM) and radiofrequency (RF) thermal energy to trigger 20,000 muscle contractions in a single 30-minute session. Essentially, Emsculpt does the working out for you!
On average, patients see 30% less fat and 25% more muscle after completing 4 sessions. While Emsculpt is not intended for overall weight loss, building your core muscles can improve your metabolism over time. Emsculpt NEO also helps patients using weight loss supplements or injections avoid losing muscle mass on their journey.
What’s the difference between Emsculpt and Emsculpt NEO?
Not all technologies are equal, including Emsculpt devices. At Success by Design, we offer Emsculpt NEO in St. Petersburg. The NEO system goes beyond the original Emsculpt device—which only used HIFEM technology—by incorporating RF energy. These waves combine with HIFEM to better target and kill fat cells once and for all.
Exion
Losing weight is a monumental accomplishment, but loose skin can overshadow just how far you’ve come. Exion restores your skin’s elasticity to its original glory!
That being said, Exion does more than tighten your skin without surgery. This revolutionary technology combines monopolar radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound energy to break down fat cells, too.
If you’re struggling to get rid of “pinchable” subcutaneous fat in an area that’s difficult to reach, such as under your bra, we may recommend Exion instead of Emsculpt NEO in St. Petersburg. The Exion devices’ smaller handles allow our experts to precisely target those hard-to-reach areas—painlessly.
Emtone
Success by Design also offers Emtone for body contouring—focusing on smoothing your skin and toning your muscles. Most women (about 90%, in fact) have struggled with cellulite. Sadly, over-the-counter creams and painful dry brushing don’t do the trick.
Studies show that Emtone patients saw an average 59% increase in collagen, a 64% increase in elastin, and a 44% thicker dermis.
Collagen proteins act as the building blocks of your skin, providing its structure. As you lose collagen every year, this internal framework weakens and leads to signs of aging.
Your body also produces elastin proteins to give your skin its ability to stretch and “bounce” back into place. Similarly, your body cuts back on elastin production over the years. Just like your favorite sweater’s fibers loosen with every wear, your skin’s fibers weaken, too. Replenishing your elastin levels helps prevent your skin from getting “stuck” and creating lines when you smile, frown, talk, or laugh.
Both of these essential proteins can be found in your dermis—your inner layer of skin where connective tissues lie. By thickening this layer with radiofrequency and acoustic waves, Emtone naturally addresses cellulite and laxity! That’s why some patients choose to combine Emtone with Emsculpt NEO in St. Petersburg to perfect the finishing touches.
Taking Your Transformation Even Further
We realize that maintaining your new physique is just as important as achieving it—your work isn’t done, so neither is ours. At Success by Design, we’re in this lifelong journey with you. That’s why we offer a range of complementary solutions to give your body the resources it needs to thrive, including:
Remember, these treatments are not substitutes for healthy habits. Rather, they act as “boosters,” making the most of your efforts.
Nutrition Counseling
We realize that there’s a lot of information—and misinformation—out there about the “right” way to lose weight. Whether you’re looking to maximize your investment in medical weight loss or Emsculpt NEO in St. Petersburg or simply want to improve your habits, we’re here to help.
Our team of experienced doctors and nurse practitioners will help you find the right diet for you, because in reality, it’s not as simple as following the food pyramid. Fad diets tend to do more harm than good because there’s science behind losing weight; it’s just as mental as it is physical. We’ll help you adopt realistic changes to your routine, helping you look and feel better—naturally.
The Faces Behind Your Success Story
Where you go for body contouring determines your results and experience.
At Success by Design, we’re constantly raising the bar for our team, our patients, and the industry as a whole. However, not all spas are equal—from their team’s qualifications to the quality of their products and how personalized their approach is.
We recognize that looking and feeling your best play equally important roles in living your best, which is why we create custom plans that combine the most advanced aesthetic and wellness solutions.
Meet Terri Graham, DOM
“I joined the Success by Design family in early 2016. At that time we offered the medical weight loss program, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, and a small menu of medical aesthetic services.”
“I came on board as a licensed acupuncturist, massage therapist, and the medical assistant who worked with our very first BTL device the Exilis—a game changer in non-invasive fat sculpting and skin tightening. And now, since 2016, I have been able to watch our practice here at Success by Design grow tremendously in all areas of service, but perhaps especially in aesthetics, and the intersection of aesthetics and wellness in the context of healthy aging.”
“We now are able to offer our clients solutions to not only look better as we age but also to address many of the negative effects of aging that are occurring below the skin. Over here on the aesthetics wing, our confidence in the cutting-edge science behind the BTL medical devices has resulted in the expansion from our single Exilis in 2016 to a suite of six devices today.”
“So on any given day, I may be found using the Emsculpt NEO to selectively sculpt fat while also restoring and enhancing muscle tone lost through injury or aging, to an Emtone session to enhance lymphatic flow and address cellulite deposits to improve skin texture.”
“I have to also say how exciting it is to be using one of our newest devices, the Exion; this incredibly versatile machine allows the use of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency to sculpt deeper fat deposits and/or tighten skin on the face or body. This seamless integration of our comprehensive weight loss and nutritional programs, the ability to assist with underlying hormonal or endocrine imbalances, and now adding the possibilities of reversing or preventing the muscle loss that accompanies the aging process, offers the promise of achieving our very best quality of life, and this mission is what makes being part of Success by Design not just a job but a passion.”
“When not at work I am somewhat of a boring homebody. My husband and I live in a 1926 bungalow in St Petersburg which ensures, basically, a never-ending to-do list of repairs and upkeep! We currently share it with two dogs and two cats. I try my best to stay active with running, pilates, and some hot yoga among my favorites.”
