REPRESENTATIVES FROM DR. MAIDA'S OFFICE: "This is our EMSCULPT NEO event. EMSCULPT NEO helps to reduce fat and increase muscle mass in 4 treatments, 30 minutes a piece. We have new edge applicators that treat love handles. It is great for men who just want to get rid of that little bit of pudge that won't go away in the gym. So you can wear a speedo on the beach. So come, see what we can do for your love handles. Give it a try! Abdominals, the calves, arms, bi's, tri's, chest, you name it.
MARION: "And if I may interject, I have tried this and it has worked. It has definitely worked. So please do yourself a favor and come by and visit. Thank you."
