Body Sculpting CMS is a computerized muscle stimulation system designed for anyone wanting to lose weight and/or reduce their body measurements through tightening and toning of muscles.
Our Body Sculpting CMS treatment delivers a gentle impulse to your muscles via soft rubber pads coated in hypoallergenic gel. Your muscles respond to this impulse by contracting and relaxing in a rhythmic way as they would during any regular physical exercise, such as stomach crunches, leg lifts, etc. Your muscles are strengthened without putting stress in your joints, knees, lower back, neck, or shoulders. It feels good – similar to massage!
What are the benefits of Body Sculpting CMS?
While Body Sculpting CMS exercises the muscles it will also stimulate the circulation in the treatment area. The enhanced blood flow tones up the skin. The physical effect is to make you feel more relaxed, refreshed and invigorated for long after the treatment has ended. Body Sculpting CMS improves the condition and performance of body muscles. This means an improvement in your mental and physical well being while becoming tight, lean, strong and healthy. Body Sculpting CMS gives similar benefits to those obtained by doing regular sessions at the gym. (For example push ups, presses, sit ups, knee bends and other exercises.)
Who can have a Body Sculpting CMS treatment?
Body Sculpting CMS has been specifically designed for use by both men and women. Anyone over the age of 18 who wishes to contour their body and reduce unwanted inches is a candidate for Body Sculpting CMS. The treatment works best for those who are within about 20 lbs of their target weight as an adjunct to a current exercise program.
Please review the contraindications and cautions prior to treatment. Body Sculpting CMS is suitable for most healthy people because it is very similar to natural muscle stimulation, but precautions should be observed as with any exercise.

We offer our Initial Body Sculpting CMS Consultation and Treatment hour-long appointment with our aesthetician in order to make sure you’re a great candidate for this treatment. If you have particular concerns, please check with your primary care provider prior to beginning treatment. We may ask for medical clearance from your provider in certain circumstances. You must book this appointment prior to beginning any Body Sculpting CMS program.
How often can Body Sculpting CMS be done and how long is each treatment?
Although there are no set numbers of treatments, extensive medical research has identified that the most beneficial effects are achieved by the use of an individually developed treatment program. It depends on your goals, your physical condition and what you want to personally achieve. The first treatment, included with the Initial Consultation and Treatment, is 30 minutes. Average following treatments last 20 minutes depending on the intensity.
How should I prepare for treatment?
You should not have a treatment within 90 minutes after a meal.
We recommend wearing close-fitting athletic wear, such as a sports bra and bike shorts for women and bike shorts for men to your Initial Body Sculpting CMS Consultation and Treatment so we are able to take baseline measurements and photos. The rubber pads need to have contact with skin in order to work, so during treatments, women will wear a bra and underwear and men will wear underwear.
What happens during a treatment?
We offer the Initial Body Sculpting CMS Consultation and Treatment hour-long appointment to all first-time patients. This appointment includes taking baseline measurements and photos, preparation time, discussion of expectations, and the first 30 minute treatment. Our therapist will tailor a program to your needs and goals. After discussion of treatment areas and recommended programs, you will change into your underwear.
For all appointments, our therapist will then strap cloth straps around specific areas of your body that you want treated – the most popular areas are generally upper and lower abdomen, buttocks and upper thighs. We can also treat arms and lower thighs – please speak with your therapist about your individual treatment program. The therapist will then apply soft pads coated with hypoallergenic gel to your body at specific areas. Remember, the pads need to have contact with skin to work properly. You will then lie down and relax while the therapist tailors the treatment program to you.
You will feel a slight tingling as each of the pad areas are activated and start to stimulate your muscles. Please let the therapist know if you are at all uncomfortable and they will dial it down to your own individual comfort level. You are welcome to bring your own entertainment (music, podcast, audiobook, regular book, phone) during the treatment. After the alloted time, the therapist will return and remove the pads and straps and help to clean off the gel. You will have a few minutes to change, and then you will be on your way!
Subsequent treatment appointments will not include measurements and photos unless requested and then only if time allows. If you would definitely like to have measurements and photos taken, we recommend them every 4 weeks and to book a complimentary Follow Up Appointment with Aesthetician for time for everything.
If booking a Relaxing Body or Circulation & Lymphatic Drainage CMS session with a face treatment, you will be prepped for the body treatment (please see above) prior to the face treatment. Once you lie down, your face treatment will start and at the end, the therapist will remove all pads and straps and clean off the gel. The session includes an additional 15 minutes for preparation and pad/strap removal; the amount of time of the treatment will depend on the duration of the face treatment, up to one hour. Please note, the same contraindications and cautions apply.
How many Body Sculpting CMS treatments will I need?
Generally, two or three Body Sculpting CMS treatments per week will yield optimum results in a matter of weeks but please bear in mind, we do have to take your starting weight and measurements into consideration as each individual is different. We offer packages of multiple treatments to deliver optimal results. While we are helping you to build muscle, maintenance is dependent on your dietary habits and exercise regimen.
How soon will I see results and how long do they last?
Individual results will vary. Most people experience some measurement loss to some degree during their first Body Sculpting CMS treatment. Most people will also feel a little sore, as if your body has just been exercising! It is important to remember and practice the advice given to you by your trained therapist and to keep up with a regular exercise regimen and healthy food choices. The muscle is stimulated during the treatment; upkeep depends on you.
Can I lose weight with Body Sculpting CMS?
You will lose inches and weight using our Body Sculpting CMS, but you have to remember that muscle weighs more than fat but fat takes up a lot more space, just like a sponge under your skin. Sometimes, depending on the weight you are at the beginning you may not see much of a loss on the scales, however because the fat is dissipated and the muscle is toned you could go down a dress size. It really does depend on your overall weight at the beginning of the program.
Achieving healthy muscle tissue enhances optimal metabolism which means you will burn more fat. It is a great motivator when you feel your body toning, firming and tightening slack muscles. Be aware that dieting alone will not tone your muscles; you may have to have some form of exercise. Many people have been badly disappointed when their diet discipline fails to improve their figure due to lack of muscle training.
What are the Relaxing and Circulation Boosting & Lymphatic Drainage CMS Programs?
Our Body Sculpting technology can also deliver a relaxing treatment for those who do not want muscle stimulation. We offer either a relaxing, endorphin-producing treatment or circulation enhancement with lymphatic drainage body treatment as enhancement additions to face treatments. With either treatment, you will feel a slight tingle and no pain. If you feel at all uncomfortable, please let your therapist know.
The relaxation CMS program does not stimulate muscles to micro-contract; instead, it uses a special program to provide drug-free pain relief by decreasing the signals of specific nerve fibers that transmit pain signals and encouraging the brain to release endorphins. Endorphins are naturally produced by the human body, promoting relaxation and a sense of well-being.
The circulation boosting with lymphatic drainage CMS program also does not stimulate muscle contractions. With age, lifestyle, or health issues, the body’s circulatory system becomes less efficient and fluid can accumulate. With our Circulation Boosting & Lymphatic Drainage program, the result is increased fluid flow in veins, arteries and lymphatic vessels, and smooth metabolic purging of toxins, waste and other unwanted material in the cells and bodily fluid.
