If you have stubborn areas that will not budge, muscles that feel deconditioned after a busy season or recovery, or tight hips and knees that limit what you love to do, a smarter combined plan can make all the difference.
At Akribis Veins & Vitality in Columbus, our Body Optimization programs pair Exion Body, Emsculpt Neo, and Physiq with expert coaching and structured follow-ups so you see real changes and keep them. Sessions are quick, scheduling is flexible, and you receive transparent progress updates at every step.
What Body Optimization Means at Akribis
Body Optimization is our integrated approach to:
-
Visible fat reduction
-
Muscle building and reconditioning
-
Mobility and joint support
Instead of using one device for every patient, we match the right technology to your goals, then layer in simple habit coaching for long-term results.
Many patients focus on hard-to-reach areas such as:
-
Bra fat
-
Inner thighs
-
Above the knee
-
Lower abdomen
At the same time, we work on reconditioning the core, hips, and back to improve daily movement and reduce stiffness.
Your journey begins with a consultation to set goals, review activity level, and map target zones. Your plan may include multiple devices in one visit or across weekly sessions, with built-in check-ins to track progress.
The Devices We Use and Who They Help
Exion Body
Exion Body uses targeted radiofrequency heat to support fat reduction and skin tightening. It feels warm and controlled, making it ideal for:
-
Above the knee
-
Inner thighs
-
Bra line
-
Small or curved areas
When skin laxity is part of the concern, Exion Body helps smooth and firm as fat cells are reduced.
Emsculpt Neo
Emsculpt Neo combines:
-
Radiofrequency heat for fat reduction
-
HIFEM muscle stimulation that creates thousands of powerful contractions
It is excellent for:
-
Abdomen
-
Glutes
-
Arms
-
Inner and outer thighs
-
Calves
You feel your muscles actively working while heat targets the fat layer above.
Physiq
Physiq delivers deep heat with multi-directional muscle stimulation for contouring and reconditioning. It is ideal for:
-
Patients returning after injury or procedures
-
People easing back into training
-
Treating multiple smaller zones in one visit
Who Is a Good Candidate
Body Optimization works best for adults who are:
-
At or near a stable weight
-
Dealing with diet- and exercise-resistant fat
-
Wanting to rebuild or strengthen muscle
-
Experiencing stiffness in the hips, back, or knees
If you are pairing this with medical weight loss or returning to activity after physical therapy, we coordinate timing and progression for safe, steady results.
What Treatment Feels Like
-
Exion Body feels warm and soothing
-
Emsculpt Neo and Physiq create strong, pulsing muscle contractions
Most patients describe it as an intense workout without joint strain. Sessions last about 30 minutes per area. There is no downtime, and you can return to work, driving, or daily activities right away.
How Many Sessions Are Needed
Most plans include:
-
4 to 6 sessions per area, spaced one week apart
-
6 to 8 sessions for mobility or muscle reconditioning goals
Combination days, such as Exion Body plus Emsculpt Neo, can accelerate progress in stubborn areas. Your personalized plan will outline session counts, sequencing, and check-in points.
When You Will See Results
-
Muscle engagement can be felt after the first session
-
Visible changes typically appear in 3 to 4 weeks
-
Peak results develop around 8 to 12 weeks
If you are rebuilding after downtime, functional improvements such as easier stairs, better posture, and less stiffness often show up early.
How Long Results Last
-
Muscle gains last as long as you continue to use them
-
Fat cells treated by heat-based technologies are cleared and do not return
-
Remaining fat cells can still grow, so steady habits matter
We provide simple at-home routines to support your results. Many patients choose light maintenance sessions every 8 to 12 weeks.
Mobility Support for Back, Hips, and Knees
Strong core, glute, and hamstring muscles reduce strain on the back and knees. We use Emsculpt Neo or Physiq to activate these muscles without joint compression, and Exion Body to reduce fat pads above the knee that may limit range of motion.
If you are coming off a procedure or managing chronic tightness, we coordinate your schedule and build intensity gradually.
