How we approach it

The device contracts the targeted muscle thousands of times in a session while radiofrequency warms the overlying fat. Studies show modest fat reduction and muscle increase after a series. It is a refinement tool for people who are already active, not a replacement for training or a medical weight-loss plan.

Often a good fit for

• Abdominal definition after pregnancy or weight loss
• Buttock lift without surgery
• Arms and thighs
• Core strength during injury recovery, with clinician clearance

Things we will discuss first

• Metal implants, pacemakers, and pregnancy rule it out
• Results are modest and depend on your baseline
• A series is required
• You must be 18 or older. Results vary, and a consultation is required before any treatment.
