Body Contouring
Body Contouring at Aesthetics Central
We prioritise your unique aspirations. Transform your physique through body sculpting technology.
High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that utilises electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions and reduce fat. It is primarily used to tone and strengthen muscles while also targeting and reducing fat in specific areas of the body.
In just 30mintues 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.
Treatment Session
- Our clients either stand, sit or lie down – depending on the targeted muscles. The machine plates are fastened onto the area.
- The device delivers electromagnetic pulses, which cause the contractions. The client should feel the intensity of this but should not experience pain.
- After a 30-minute session, the client is called back after a few days – allowing the muscles to relax and recover in between.
How does it work
- The device generates a high-intensity electromagnetic field, which penetrates the skin.
- This energy induces supramaximal muscle contractions, which lead to muscle strengthening, toning and growth.
- Due to the intense muscle activity, more energy is required. This triggers a metabolic reaction which breakdowns and eventually eliminates fat cells.

FAQs
What areas of the body can be treated with HIFEM?
HIFEM body contouring 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."
Who is a good candidate for HIFEM body contouring?
Good candidates for HIFEM body contouring are 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.
Is HIFEM body contouring safe?
Yes, HIFEM 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.
Does HIFEM body contouring hurt?
HIFEM body contouring 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.
How long does a HIFEM session take?
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.
How many HIFEM sessions are needed to see results?
Most individuals require a series of 4 to 6 HIFEM 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.
When will I see results from HIFEM body contouring?
Some people begin to see improvements in muscle tone and fat reduction within 2 to 4 weeks after starting their HIFEM 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.
Can HIFEM body contouring replace exercise?
While HIFEM 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.
Who might not be suitable for HIFEM body contouring?
Individuals with certain medical conditions, including:
Pregnancy: The effects of HIFEM 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 avoid HIFEM, 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 HIFEM treatments.
