EMS Sculpt & RF Combo
This setting incorporates radiofrequency (RF) technology for simultaneous tightening of the skin and to give an additional fat burning boost; for an average total reduction of 25% – 30% in fat thickness. This is most effective in the abdomen or thigh area; where it can be hard to lose that last bit of stubborn fat or if skin may need a little extra tightening.

EMS Body Sculpting
In Detail
During your EMS treatment, extremely rapid electromagnetic pulses create powerful muscle contractions that cause muscle tissue to undergo intense remodeling. This non-invasive HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology induces considerably strong and fast supramaximal muscle contractions, otherwise impossible to achieve even with the highest intensity of training.
In just one 30 minute session, approximately 20,000 contractions are induced, which is equivalent to 20,000 intensive sit-ups or squats, all while comfortably lying or sitting down. These vigorous contractions trigger a metabolic change in the overlying fat that leads to the destruction of fat cells, known as lipolysis. The muscle tissue responds to these extreme conditions, building volume and density by using calories in the surrounding broken down fat as fuel. The end result is simultaneous fat loss, along with a gain in muscle strength and tone in specific targeted areas.
Clinical trials have shown that muscle mass is increased by 16% – 25% and fat thickness in the abdomen is decreased on average by 19%. With the combined power of Radiofrequency technology, the fat reduction has been shown to be even higher at 30%. Studies have also demonstrated over a 10% reduction in diastasis recti (the separation between abdomen muscles, often caused by pregnancy).
The pelvic floor has an extensive array of muscles that is richly endowed with blood vessels and nerves, making it highly responsive to EMS treatment. The bladder detrusor and the internal sphincters are all smooth (involuntary) muscle and cannot respond to manual exercise. EMS is the only external way to stimulate these nerve fibres and significantly strengthen the muscles in the pelvic floor, helping to prevent incontinence, reduce prolapse and improve sexual performance.
EMS Body Sculpting is completely non-invasive and can be used by both men and women with up to 2 inch fat thickness in the following areas:
- Abdomen (6-pack Abs)
- Buttocks (Brazillian But Lift)
- Pelvic Floor
- Shoulders
- Arms
- Thighs
- Hamstrings
- Calves
* This 2016 study compared the effects of EMS Treatment vs 16 weeks of high-intensity resistance exercise (HIT) on body composition and strength, and observed comparable results between both methods. It concludes that EMS can be considered a time-efficient and highly effective option for anyone seeking to improve body composition.

EMS Sculpting FAQ
Afterwards, you can expect to feel like you have had a great workout with muscle fatigue in the treated areas. After all, your muscles did undergo the equivalent of 20k crunches! This stiffness and soreness may persist for 1 – 2 days after the treatment. There is no redness, no swelling and no downtime, so you can resume your normal daily activities right away.
Four 30 minute sessions completed in 2 weeks has shown to be the most effective in giving the best results.
The muscles treated will feel stronger with each treatment, with positive visible results usually seen 2 – 4 weeks after the last session in a series of treatments. Fat cells that are destroyed through apoptosis are gradually and naturally eliminated by the body. Improvement of the overlying fat is typically seen 2 – 3 months after the course is completed.
Improved muscle tone will last 6 – 12 months after treatment, however this will be significantly longer with proper diet and exercise.
For optimal toning, a series of 4 treatments spaced 3 – 4 days apart is highly recommended. The need for follow up sessions will depend on your lifestyle and exercise upkeep. Most will benefit from an extra session every 3 – 6 months, whilst others may find that a follow up may not be necessary for another 1 – 2 years or more.
EMS is extremely safe, with no known side effects other than muscle soreness.
EMS Treatment is a painless procedure that feels very similar to an intensive workout. Some say it feels like a deep vibration in your muscles, which may be a bit shocking at first as the involuntary contractions are strong, however you will slowly adjust to this sensation.
Two Days Before Treatment
- Refrain from excessive training 2 days before and after your treatments, to allow your muscles to relax and repair.
- Drink plenty of water so that your body can efficiently flush out fat deposits and toxins. We suggest at least 1.5 litres of water per day.
- Avoid alcohol consumption as this will cause your liver to prioritise metabolising alcohol over fat, which will hinder your results.
- Maintain a low calorie, low carbohydrate, low fat and low sugar diet 24 – 48 hours before treatment. This will ensure your body can fully utilise the triglycerides released by the fat cavitation process.
On The Day
- No caffeine, diuretics or sugary drinks.
- Remove metal jewelry before treatment.
- Drink some water just before and shortly after your treatment.
- Do not eat a heavy meal within 2 hours of the treatment.
- For your initial treatment, bring a bikini or sportswear for your ‘before’ photo, so we can track your progress.
Hydrate – To make your treatments more effective, drink plenty of water This will help the liver and lymphatic system remove the fat and help speed up the elimination of toxins. We suggest 1.5 – 2 litres a day for 3 days.
Avoid Alcohol – You will need to avoid alcohol for 3 days after each treatment. The liver will be busy processing the fat that has been broken down. Alcohol consumption will hinder the process as it is prioritised by the liver.
Exercise – We recommend 30 minutes of light cardio immediately after your session, to stimulate the lymphatic and urinary systems as elimination of the fat continues. This can include a brisk walk, cycling or swimming and should be performed daily for at least 3 days following. If combining EMS Body Sculpting, this is sufficient.
Diet – Try to maintain a low calorie intake. Reduce your carbohydrate, fat and sugar intake for at least 3 days. Choose healthier, nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables and lean meats. For long term results, a balanced diet should be followed ongoing.
Avoid strength training– Try to avoid excessive strength training on the targeted area for 2 days following treatment, to allow the muscle to repair.
Avoid hot showers, saunas & steam rooms – Increased blood circulation can intensify warming, tingling, itching or redness immediately after. Try to avoid these activities on the day of your treatment.
Lymphatic Drainage – A lymphatic massage can help improve the circulation and move newly released triglycerides and toxins through the lymphatic system.
