2026 BTL Award · Based on 2025 Utilization
Top 5 Emsculpt NEO Provider in the United States
BTL — the company that manufactures Emsculpt NEO — ranked Shape Med Centers among the five highest-utilization providers in the country, and the only one in the Southeast. The ranking measures one thing: how often we actually treat patients.
Anyone can buy the machine. Almost nobody has run it this many times — and with Emsculpt NEO, what you get out of it depends on how it’s used. Where the applicators sit. How they’re angled for your build. How your four sessions are sequenced. Those are judgment calls, and judgment comes from repetition.

The Award
What BTL Actually Measured
This isn’t a marketing badge we bought or applied for. BTL tracks how much every Emsculpt NEO device in the country is used, and at the end of 2025 they ranked the top five providers in the nation by that number. Shape Med Centers was one of them.
The award was presented in February 2026 and signed by BTL’s Chief Executive Officer. We’re the only provider in the Southeast on that list.
We mention it for one reason: it’s the closest thing that exists to an objective measure of experience with this device. Not how long a clinic has owned one — how often they actually use it.
Why It Matters Where You Go
Anyone Can Buy the Machine
Emsculpt NEO is the same device in every clinic that has one. What differs is the person operating it — and with this treatment, that difference shows up in your results. Here’s where it actually happens.
Applicator Placement
A few centimeters changes which muscle fibers the field reaches. Getting it right on a long torso is not the same as getting it right on a short one, and the applicator doesn’t know the difference. The person placing it does.
Angle and Contact
The paddle has to sit flush against the body to deliver evenly. Every build curves differently. A gap you can’t see is a section of the treated area that doesn’t get what the rest of it got.
Sequencing the Four Sessions
Your four sessions aren’t four copies of the same appointment. How they’re spaced and how intensity builds across them shapes what your body does with the work between visits.
Knowing When to Adjust
Some people need a change after session one. Recognizing that early — and knowing what to change — is pattern recognition. You get it from having seen a lot of bodies respond, not from a manual.
The Treatment
What Emsculpt NEO Does
It’s the only FDA-cleared treatment that builds muscle and reduces fat in the same session. Clinical studies show up to 25% more muscle and a 30% reduction in the fat layer in the treated area.
No surgery, no needles, no downtime. You lie down and the applicators do the work.
What a Session Looks Like
Four sessions, 30 minutes each. You lie down fully clothed. Both of our NEO rooms have large-screen TVs — most people watch something and the time goes quickly.
You can drive yourself home. There’s no recovery period and nothing to schedule around afterward.
Results keep developing. Your body continues responding for roughly three months after the last session, so the final picture isn’t the one you see walking out.
