Muscle Strengthening
Why Muscle Health Matters in Longevity Medicine
As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass—a condition known as sarcopenia—which contributes to fatigue, poor posture, instability, and decreased metabolic function. This decline is even more rapid in patients taking GLP-1 medications for weight loss. While effective for fat reduction, these medications can accelerate muscle loss if not counteracted by strength training or supportive technologies.
Maintaining muscle is not just about appearance—it’s critical for:
– Metabolic stability
– Joint protection
– Bone health
– Injury prevention
– Pelvic floor support
– Mobility and independence
Muscle strengthening is a cornerstone of longevity healthcare, and PFRANKMD offers a suite of treatments to preserve and enhance muscular structure, function, and tone from the inside out.
Our Technology: Emsculpt & Emsculpt NEO
PFRANKMD uses Emsculpt and Emsculpt NEO, which utilize high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate supramaximal muscle contractions—far beyond what is possible through voluntary exercise. The result is increased muscle volume and strength, with simultaneous fat reduction in some applicators.
These FDA-cleared treatments are safe, efficient, and ideal for those seeking to:
– Prevent or reverse muscle loss
– Enhance athletic performance
– Improve posture and alignment
– Refine body contouring results
– Support recovery during medical weight loss
Treatable Areas and Applicator Options
We personalize every treatment plan based on your goals, using a range of applicators to target specific muscle groups.
Core & Abdomen
Build deep abdominal strength, improve posture, and define your waistline. Emsculpt EDGE applicators enhance lateral muscle groups to cinch the obliques and flank region.
Glutes
Sculpt, lift, and firm the buttocks without adding volume in unwanted areas. Ideal for gluteal strengthening and postural support.
Arms (Biceps & Triceps)
Tone and strengthen upper arms with precision applicators. Enhances arm definition and supports upper-body strength.
Legs (Thighs, Hamstrings, Calves)
Improve muscle tone in the thighs and calves for balanced leg aesthetics and functional strength.
Pelvic Floor (Core-to-Floor Therapy)
Strengthen the deep pelvic muscles to support bladder control, core integrity, and sexual health. Particularly effective postpartum and for longevity-focused pelvic health.
Core-to-Floor: A Full-Body, Foundational Approach
PFRANKMD takes a Core-to-Floor™ approach to muscle health—targeting not only surface-level aesthetic muscles but also foundational core and pelvic structures. Strengthening these deeper systems is essential for full-body alignment, spinal support, and long-term wellness.
Our pelvic floor therapy complements abdominal and gluteal strengthening for a comprehensive treatment strategy that addresses both form and function.

Frequently Asked Questions: Muscle Strengthening at PFRANKMD
Emsculpt uses HIFEM technology to induce powerful, involuntary muscle contractions that lead to muscle fiber growth and fat breakdown. One session is equivalent to thousands of crunches, squats, or curls—without strain on the joints.
Most patients looking to build or preserve muscle are candidates, especially those experiencing muscle loss due to aging, GLP-1 medication use, or postpartum changes. A consultation will determine your ideal protocol.
Emsculpt NEO combines muscle stimulation with radiofrequency energy for enhanced fat reduction. This makes it ideal for patients looking for both muscle tone and fat loss in one session.
A typical protocol includes 4–6 sessions over two weeks. Maintenance sessions may be recommended every 3–6 months depending on your goals.
No. Treatments are non-invasive, pain-free, and require no recovery time. Patients can resume daily activities immediately.
Yes. Emsella is a dedicated pelvic floor therapy that strengthens the deep muscles involved in continence, core strength, and intimate wellness. This is particularly helpful for postpartum patients and those experiencing age-related pelvic floor decline.
No, but it enhances the results of your workouts and is an excellent supplement if you're unable to exercise due to injury, time constraints, or specific medical conditions.
