Body Contouring
This advanced body contouring treatment uses cutting-edge electromagnetic technology to stimulate deep muscle contractions, helping to tone, strengthen, and sculpt the body for a firmer, more defined appearance.
High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that utilises electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions and tone muscle. It is primarily used to strengthen muscles & tone definition while also targeting fat in specific areas of the body.
In just 30 minutes you can achieve the equivalent of 20,000 muscle contractions.
We recommend 8 sessions to visibly strengthen these muscles and lose up to 19% of fat.
Mechanisms of
Action
Electromagnetic energy induction
Delivers focused electromagnetic pulses that penetrate deep into muscle tissue.
Supramaximal muscle contractions
Stimulates intense, involuntary muscle contractions beyond what can be achieved through voluntary exercise.
Muscle fibre remodelling:
Promotes hypertrophy (increase in muscle fiber size) and hyperplasia (formation of new muscle fibers).
Enhanced metabolic activity
Increases local metabolic demand, encouraging fat breakdown in adjacent tissues.
Cellular adaptation
Triggers muscle strengthening and toning through improved neuromuscular efficiency.
Non-invasive mechanism
Achieves body sculpting results without incisions, anesthesia, or downtime.
Benefits
- Can be used on arms, upper & lower abdomen, thighs and pelvic floor.
- Enhances muscle tone and definition through supramaximal contraction-induced remodeling.
- Increases muscle mass and strength while reducing localised adipose tissue.
- Improves core stability and overall muscular endurance.
- Provides a safe, non-invasive alternative to surgical body contouring.
- Promotes metabolic activity that supports long-term body composition improvements.
- Delivers consistent, repeatable results with no anesthesia or downtime required.
Time
- Duration
- 30mins
Frequently Asked Questions
This treatment can be used on various parts of the body, including:
- Abdomen: To strengthen and tone the core muscles, helping to achieve a flatter stomach.
- Buttocks: To lift, firm, and tone the gluteal muscles for a more sculpted appearance.
- Thighs: To enhance muscle tone and reduce fat in the upper legs.
- Arms: To build muscle and reduce fat in the upper arms, helping to combat "bat wings."
- Pelvic Floor: Improves core stability and control. Also helps reduce urinary incontinence.
Individuals who are close to their ideal weight but are looking to enhance muscle tone and reduce stubborn fat in specific areas. It is particularly effective for those who want to improve muscle definition and achieve a more sculpted physique. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with significant fat deposits or those seeking major weight loss.
Yes, body contouring is considered a safe and non-invasive procedure with minimal risk of complications. It has been cleared by the FDA for muscle building and fat reduction. As with any medical procedure, it’s important to consult with a qualified practitioner to ensure it is appropriate for your individual health and fitness goals.
The treatment is generally well-tolerated, but it may feel intense due to the strong muscle contractions induced by the electromagnetic pulses. Most people describe the sensation as similar to a deep muscle workout. There is no need for anaesthesia, and the discomfort is typically manageable. After the treatment, there may be some muscle soreness, like what you might experience after a vigorous exercise session.
A typical HIFEM body contouring session lasts about 30 minutes per treatment area. The total time may vary depending on the number of areas being treated in one session.
Most individuals require a series of 6 to 8 sessions, spaced about 2 to 3 days apart, to achieve optimal results. However, the exact number of sessions needed can vary based on individual goals, the area being treated, and your body’s response to the treatment.
Some people begin to see improvements in muscle tone within 2 to 4 weeks after starting their treatment plan. The full results typically become more apparent over the following 2 to 3 months as the muscles continue to strengthen and fat is metabolised by the body.
While body contouring can significantly enhance muscle tone and fat reduction, it is not a replacement for regular exercise and a healthy diet. The treatment is most effective when combined with a fitness regimen and a balanced diet to maintain long-term results.
Individuals with certain medical conditions, including: Pregnancy: The effects on pregnant women are not well-studied, so it is generally avoided during pregnancy. Implanted metal devices: People with pacemakers, metal implants, or other electronic devices should also avoid body contouring, as the electromagnetic energy can interfere with these devices. Severe muscle injuries: Those with acute or severe muscle injuries should consult their doctor before undergoing this treatment.
