EmSculpt & NEO
Are you searching for a modern and non-invasive way to shape your body and lose fat? Look no further than EmSculpt! This advanced procedure not only helps in building muscle but also burns fat, all while being convenient and comfortable. Achieving your dream body is now possible, and it's easier than you think.
This isn't about luck or "good genes" – it's science! Whether you want to tone your buttocks, strengthen your core, or alleviate back pain, Oceanside Medical, under the supervision of Dr. Kristina McAteer, can help you achieve your goals in just one hour. With EmSculpt, you can achieve the results of 20,000 crunches without the effort!
How does it work?
EmSculpt is the only device cleared by the FDA to build muscle. It utilizes HIFEM® (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology to create muscle contractions in target areas that are difficult to tone such as the midsection, buttocks, and arms. This treatment is equivalent to over 20,000 crunches, and your muscle tissue adapts and remodels to provide you with the fat-burning results that even the most rigorous workout cannot achieve. After your 30-minute EmSculpt session, you may experience slight soreness, similar to that of a great workout. Your EmSculpt specialist will advise you on the best treatment course for you, and in the following weeks and sessions, you will see noticeable results that will make you want to show off your improved physique.

Laser
Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a type of treatment that uses optical filters to generate specific wavelengths of light. This light targets different areas such as hair, veins, pigmented lesions, and collagen. The main difference between IPL and laser therapy is that IPL uses a broad range of wavelengths, while laser therapy uses only one. This means that IPL is capable of treating larger areas of skin in a shorter amount of time compared to laser therapy
Skin Rejuvenation
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a popular cosmetic treatment that can help to improve the overall appearance of the skin. The light energy is absorbed by the skin's pigments, which helps to rejuvenate the skin, reduce hyperpigmentation, sun spots, spider veins, angiomas, rosacea, tighten pores, and wrinkles. IPL treatment is non-invasive and quite safe. The treatment is often used to target specific areas of the face and body, and it can be tailored to suit individual skin types and concerns.
Hair removal
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a hair removal technique that uses a range of wavelengths to target hair follicles. This method minimizes and reduces hair growth and, in most cases, prevents regrowth. The treatment is generally painless, with little to no downtime or preparation required. The sessions are planned once a month to target hair follicles during the growth phase, which maximizes the results.

Hair Restoration
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) Injections
If you're experiencing hair loss or thinning hair and it's affecting your self-esteem, you'll be glad to know that there are state-of-the-art, non-invasive solutions available. These solutions offer an affordable alternative to older surgical methods. The most popular of these solutions is PRP/PRF hair restoration, which is now available in Rhode Island at Oceanside Medical.
How does it work?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are terms you may have heard of in the context of treating joints and arthritis. However, they are also effective in treating hair loss in both men and women. Platelet-rich plasma is a component of human blood that contains a high concentration of platelets. These platelets are unique cells that not only aid in clotting but also contain growth factors that help in the growth of living cells, including hair, skin, and tissue.
The PRP/PRF hair restoration procedure begins with the extraction of a small amount of blood, which is then processed through a centrifuge to separate the plasma (a golden-colored substance) from the blood cells. The isolated plasma is then carefully injected into the scalp and hair follicles. A medical professional will skillfully place the injections approximately every half-inch across the scalp in areas where hair is thinning. This treatment helps to restore hair growth from within.
AquaFirmeXS
Combined with the DE|RIVE natural hair and scalp support system, AquaFirmeXS treatments help promote thicker, fuller hair. The combination of scalp cleansing, detox, and ultrasound provide a comprehensive treatment to help revitalize the scalp.
The DE|RIVE serum is 100% natural, hormone-free, and made from a complete set of active plant-based secretory factors and the latest bio-based, patented technology specifically formulated for hair & scalp health. After your in-office treatment, you'll receive a take-home DE|RIVE serum for continued scalp support.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is PRP?
Also known as platelet-rich plasma, PRP is the plasma part of whole blood that boasts growth factors and collagen stimulators. A whole blood sample is taken from a vein then placed in a centrifuge. The centrifuge separates the blood components and the plasma can be isolated and harnessed for its healing potential.

Hormone Support
Hormone imbalance can lead to complex health effects such as stress, exhaustion, sleep disturbance, cognitive function disruption, and more. Biote helps balance hormones using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), using very small pellets, about the size of a grain of rice, inserted under the skin. This delivery method allows bioidentical hormones, customized for your specific needs, to be released at the ideal rate and processed efficiently by the body. Biote hormone pellet therapy can help you feel your best and achieve hormonal balance.
The Benefits of Hormone Pellet Therapy
As we age, our hormone levels become unbalanced, leading to fatigue, sleep disruption, lack of energy, and much more. In addition to age, factors such as diet, exercise, and lifestyle can also contribute to hormone imbalance. Biote optimizes hormones to a level appropriate for your age and general health through the use of pellet therapy and nutraceutical supplements. Pellet therapy is an ongoing hormone optimization and hormone support system that uses bioidentical hormones, identical to those naturally produced by your body, to bring your hormones back into balance. When hormones are balanced, patients find that they have more energy, more restful sleep, and are at decreased risk of health issues such as hypertension, diabetes, stroke, and heart attack.
Hormone pellet therapy is used for both men and women, and every treatment is customized based on your lab results. Oceanside will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and help bring your body back to a state of balance.
How Biote Works
Here’s what to expect when you begin your Biote journey at Oceanside:
- First, you’ll fill out a health screening and we’ll discuss your needs and eligibility for hormone supplementation.
- You’ll have blood drawn for lab work, and your provider will review the results and tailor your pellet therapy for your specific needs.
- We’ll insert the pellet during an office visit. It’s a quick process in which the pellet, which is about the size of a grain of rice, is inserted under the skin in the upper buttocks.
- We’ll follow up with you the next day and then again in a month to check your progress. Of course, you’re encouraged to get in touch if you have questions or concerns at any time.
- You’ll return in about six weeks for a follow-up and bloodwork.
- In about four to six months, you’ll return to the office for a new pellet insertion.
