Sculpt Shape SF-EMF muscle stimulation to firm the abdomen, buttocks, arms and legs
Focused electromagnetic energy (SF-EMF) makes the muscles contract at full strength continuously for 30 minutes, equivalent to thousands of contractions at an intensity ordinary exercise cannot reach, firming the area with no wound.
How SF-EMF works
The applicator generates a rapidly changing, high-intensity electromagnetic field that passes through the skin and fat layer without heating them, then stimulates the motor nerves so the whole muscle contracts at once at a supramaximal level, stronger than the brain can normally command, and holds the contraction in sets without letting the muscle relax in between. The muscle has to adapt by increasing the size and number of its fibres. Studies of this technology report an average increase in muscle thickness of around 15–16% and a reduction in the fat layer of around 15–19% after 4 sessions, measured at 2–3 months. These are average figures from research, not what everyone will achieve, and the results depend on continuing to use the muscles after the course.
Treatable areas
Abdomen
Firms the straight and side abdominal muscles, making the muscle lines clearer once the fat layer is thin enough
Buttocks
Lifts and firms the gluteal muscles without adding volume by injection or surgery
Upper arms
The front and back muscles of the upper arm, for people with loose arms
Thighs and calves
Front, back and inner thighs, for firmness and strength
After pregnancy (diastasis recti)
Helps separated abdominal muscles function better. Wait at least 3–6 months after delivery, with a doctor's assessment first
On the day (about 30 minutes per area)
Course and results
Anyone with metal or electronic implants near the treatment area, such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump, a copper IUD when treating the lower abdomen, or metal bone plates; pregnancy, or the first days of a period (treatment is possible but may be more uncomfortable); epilepsy; a hernia; a tumour in the area; surgery within 6 months; and anyone whose fat layer is thicker than about 3 cm, who will see little result and should reduce the fat first

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Sculpt Shape replace exercise?
Not entirely. The device works a specific muscle harder than exercise can, but it does nothing for the heart, lungs or overall metabolism. Use it as a supplement and maintain the result with regular exercise.
Will I see abdominal definition if my fat layer is thick?
The muscle does become thicker, but if the fat layer is more than about 3 cm the muscle lines will not show. The doctor usually recommends Cool Shape or weight management first, then Sculpt Shape.
Is it painful or sore?
During treatment you feel strong contractions and vibration, but no pain, and the intensity can be adjusted at any time. Afterwards you may feel sore as after a hard workout for 1–2 days.
How long do the results last?
Mostly around 6 months, or longer with regular exercise. Unused muscle gradually reduces, just like muscle built through exercise. A maintenance session every 1–3 months is recommended.
