Frequently Asked Questions
Body Contouring with B-Shape
-
B-Shape™ is a non-invasive body contouring treatment designed to help improve muscle tone, body contours, and the appearance of cellulite. It uses high-intensity electromagnetic muscle stimulation to create powerful muscle contractions while also supporting improved circulation within the treated area.
The treatment is designed to complement a healthy lifestyle and is not intended as a substitute for diet or exercise.
-
B-Shape™ stimulates the muscles in the treatment area with high-intensity electromagnetic energy, creating thousands of muscle contractions during a single treatment session.
These contractions are much stronger than those achieved during voluntary exercise and are designed to strengthen and condition the targeted muscles while supporting improvements in body contour.
-
No.
B-Shape™ is a body contouring treatment, not a weight-loss program.
It is best suited for people who are already close to their ideal weight but want to improve muscle definition, body contours, or the appearance of stubborn areas.
-
Common treatment areas include:
Abdomen
Buttocks
Thighs
Hips
Upper arms
Your treatment plan will be customized during your consultation.
