EMS
EMS uses electromagnetic pulses to trigger rapid, powerful muscle contractions well beyond what voluntary exercise can achieve. The muscle adapts and strengthens much like it would after an intense workout. We often combine this with radiofrequency heat in the same session to support fat cell breakdown alongside the muscle work.
You lie down while the applicator delivers contractions to the treated muscle group. It feels like an intense but not painful pulsing sensation. A session takes 30 to 45 minutes, and there is no downtime, you can go straight back to your day.
A course of 4 to 6 sessions, roughly twice a week, gives the best result. Most people feel firmer muscle tone within 2 to 3 sessions, with fuller definition building over the following weeks.
EMS is not suitable during pregnancy, with a pacemaker or other implanted device, a hernia, or metal implants in the treatment area. It suits people already close to a stable, healthy weight who want to tone and strengthen rather than lose significant fat, and we will be honest with you about that at your consultation. If fat reduction is the goal, Laser Lipolysis or HIFU may be a better starting point. Book a consultation and we will talk through whether EMS is the right fit.
Book a Consultation
EMS treatments take place in a private room at each of our clinics. We keep sessions unhurried, talking you through your consultation and what to expect before we begin, and there is no expectation to commit to treatment until you understand what is involved.

Treatment Information
The Team
Our practitioners are trained and qualified to administer EMS at every clinic, and every session is covered by our clinic’s treatment insurance. We do not start a treatment until we are confident it is the right fit for you, which is why every course begins with a thorough consultation.
Consultation
Every EMS treatment starts with a consultation, where we assess your goals, talk through your medical history and confirm this is the right choice for what you want to achieve. Ask your nearest clinic for current consultation and treatment pricing.
