Strength, Wellness and Confidence

How RM Modern Aesthetics is helping women feel stronger from the inside out

For many women, the changes that come after childbirth or during perimenopause and menopause are often accepted as something they simply have to live with. Core strength may weaken, muscle mass gradually declines and pelvic floor issues such as bladder leakage can quietly become part of daily life.

At RM Modern Aesthetics in Emerson, the belief is that while these changes are common, they don’t have to be ignored. Through advanced non-surgical technologies and medically guided care, the practice helps women rebuild strength, restore function and feel more confident in their bodies.

Founded by board-certified surgeons Dr. Farshad Mansouri and Dr. David Radvinsky, RM Modern Aesthetics brings a clinical perspective to treatments that are often associated only with beauty or body contouring.

“With more than 35 years of combined surgical experience, we approach aesthetics through the lens of anatomy, function and long-term health,” the physicians said. “Our mission is to create personalized, evidence-based plans that support total wellness — inside and out.”

Where Wellness Meets Aesthetics

Unlike traditional med spas that focus primarily on appearance, RM Modern Aesthetics was designed to address both the functional and cosmetic aspects of the body.

“Our approach blends advanced aesthetic treatments with functional wellness support,” the doctors said. “We look at the full picture — core strength, pelvic health, body composition and overall confidence.”

The practice offers technologies such as Emsculpt Neo and Emsella, along with guided weight-loss plans and personalized care designed to help patients feel stronger and healthier.

For many women, the focus on function is what makes the biggest difference.

“These treatments are not just about how someone looks,” the physicians said. “They are about helping people move better, feel stronger and regain confidence in their bodies.”

Rebuilding Strength From the Core

One of the most innovative technologies offered at RM Modern Aesthetics is Emsculpt Neo, a treatment designed to simultaneously build muscle and reduce fat.

Using a combination of radiofrequency energy and high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy, the technology stimulates powerful muscle contractions far beyond what is possible through voluntary exercise alone.

“Each 30-minute session can generate around 20,000 muscle contractions,” the doctors explained. “This helps strengthen muscles while also improving body composition.”

The treatment requires no downtime and is often used to target areas such as the abdomen, glutes, arms and thighs.

But beyond visible toning, the benefits many patients notice are functional.

“Stronger core and glute muscles can improve posture, balance and stability,” they said. “Some clients also report relief from back discomfort because the muscles supporting the spine are stronger.”

These outcomes can be particularly meaningful for women whose bodies have gone through pregnancy or hormonal shifts.

Supporting the Body After Childbirth

The period following childbirth — sometimes referred to as the “fourth trimester” — is when many women begin to notice changes in their core and pelvic floor strength.

RM Modern Aesthetics developed a recovery program that pairs Emsculpt Neo with Emsella, a treatment designed specifically to strengthen pelvic floor muscles.

“Pregnancy and delivery place significant strain on the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor,” the physicians said. “Our goal is to help restore strength, stability and control.”

Emsculpt Neo helps rebuild abdominal and glute muscles while supporting recovery from diastasis recti, a condition in which the abdominal muscles separate during pregnancy.

Emsella, meanwhile, focuses on pelvic health. The chair-based treatment uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to stimulate thousands of pelvic muscle contractions during a 30-minute session.

“These contractions activate deep pelvic muscles in a way that is difficult to achieve through traditional exercises alone,” the doctors said.

The treatment is non-invasive, requires no recovery time and is performed while patients remain fully clothed.

Navigating Changes During Menopause

Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause can also affect muscle strength and body composition. As estrogen levels decline, women often experience accelerated muscle loss and increased fat accumulation around the midsection.

“Muscle is protective tissue,” the physicians said. “Maintaining muscle mass supports stability, posture and long-term mobility.”

To help women address these changes, RM Modern Aesthetics offers a Menopause Body Rebuild Program that focuses on rebuilding muscle and strengthening the core.

Emsculpt Neo plays a key role in this process by stimulating muscle growth without medication or downtime. For many patients, it complements other wellness strategies such as exercise and hormone therapy.

Pelvic floor health can also change during this stage of life, making Emsella an important option for women experiencing urinary incontinence or reduced muscle strength.

“Pelvic floor weakness can impact everyday activities and quality of life,” the doctors said. “Strengthening those muscles can make a meaningful difference.”

Real Benefits in Everyday Life

While aesthetic improvements are often the most visible results, patients frequently report changes that go far beyond appearance.

“Many clients tell us they feel stronger and more capable during daily activities or exercise,” the physicians said.

Stronger abdominal and glute muscles can improve balance, posture and core stability, while pelvic floor strengthening can help reduce bladder leakage and urgency.

“These changes can have a huge impact on confidence,” they said. “Women feel more comfortable laughing, traveling, exercising or simply going about their day without worrying about embarrassing moments.”

For many patients, those improvements are life changing.

“One thing that consistently stands out is how common incontinence is among women,” the doctors said. “Even when symptoms are mild, they can affect confidence and quality of life. After treatment with Emsella, many women notice a meaningful improvement.”

Rethinking Aesthetic Treatments

Despite the functional benefits, aesthetic technologies are sometimes misunderstood.

“Some people assume these treatments are only about appearance,” the physicians said. “But for many women, the most important outcomes are related to strength, comfort and overall wellness.”

They also emphasize that treatments like Emsculpt Neo are not meant to replace exercise or healthy habits.

“These technologies support the body’s natural strength and complement an active lifestyle,” they said.

Their advice to women considering treatments is to focus on how they want to feel — not just how they want to look.

“When you prioritize strength, energy and comfort, the aesthetic benefits often follow naturally,” they said.

Supporting Women Through Every Stage

As awareness of functional wellness continues to grow, RM Modern Aesthetics is expanding its efforts to educate and support the local community.

The practice regularly hosts wellness events that connect residents with experts and resources focused on healthy aging and overall well-being.

For Dr. Mansouri and Dr. Radvinsky, the goal is simple: help women feel strong, capable and confident in their bodies throughout every stage of life.

“Changes related to childbirth or menopause may be common,” they said, “but they don’t have to be something women simply endure. There are real solutions that can help support the body and improve quality of life.”
