Builds muscle and reduces fat in the same session using magnetic stimulation with heat.

Muscle tone and definition
Abdominal or gluteal definition that training has not produced, often after pregnancy or a long period out of the gym. Treatment adds to training rather than replacing it.

What it actually is
Electromagnetic muscle stimulation causes contractions far more intense and far more numerous than you can produce voluntarily. A thirty minute session runs the equivalent of thousands of contractions in the treated group. The muscle responds the way it responds to any overload, by adding fibre density, and the abdominal wall in particular tightens as a result.
What causes it
- Deconditioning after injury, illness or a long break from training.
- Separation of the abdominal muscles after pregnancy, which does not close with ordinary abdominal work and often gets worse with it.
- A fat layer over a perfectly good muscle, which is a fat question rather than a muscle one.
- Training that never loads the specific group you are unhappy with.
Before you book anything
Post pregnancy abdominal separation should be assessed by a women's health physiotherapist first. If the gap is wide, the physiotherapy comes first and the device comes after, in that order.
Nothing on this page is a diagnosis. It is what we would say in the room, written down so you can read it before deciding whether to come in.
What treatment can do
Add measurable muscle thickness in the treated area and reduce the fat sitting over it where the device does both. Post pregnancy abdominal separation is where the results are most convincing, and we measure the gap before and after rather than asking you how it feels.
What it cannot do
It is not a substitute for training and it does not make you fitter. There is no cardiovascular benefit, no effect on any muscle that was not under the applicator, and the gains fade if nothing else changes. Anyone selling it as exercise replacement is overselling it.
Treatments for muscle tone and definition
LPG Endermologie
Mechanical roll and suction massage for texture, circulation and stubborn areas.
From £60What a course usually looks like
Four sessions over two weeks is the standard build, with results assessed at twelve weeks. Maintenance is one session every six to eight weeks, or none at all if you are training the area properly on your own.
Course pricing is lower than the same sessions bought one at a time, and spreading the cost is available over three months on anything above £300.

Where to start
Bring a photograph of it at its worst.
Most concerns look different in clinic lighting at eleven in the morning than they do at home at night. A photograph on your phone is genuinely useful and we would rather see one than take your word for it.
