Slimming & body sculpt
Abdomen Sculpt
Massage, vacuum and electrostimulation for the abdomen.
A session combining massage, vacuum therapy and neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) for the abdominal area.
Diastasis recti: this treatment does not treat or close an abdominal separation. If you have — or suspect you have — diastasis, please consult your doctor or a pelvic-health physiotherapist first; we only adapt the protocol with medical clearance.

Evidence
- 1In a small randomised trial, eight weeks of abdominal neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) improved abdominal muscle strength and endurance; body weight and skinfold thickness did not change. Evidence for aesthetic outcomes is limited and results vary. Porcari JP, Miller J, Cornwell K, Foster C, Gibson M, McLean K, Kernozek T. Journal of Sports Science & Medicine 2005
- 2An earlier trial of a commercial electrical muscle stimulator found no significant effect on strength, body composition or appearance — NMES is one part of the protocol, not a substitute for exercise. Porcari JP, McLean KP, Foster C, Kernozek T, Crenshaw B, Swenson C. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research 2002

Frequently asked questions
Does Abdomen Sculpt treat diastasis recti?
No. Abdomen Sculpt does not treat or close an abdominal separation (diastasis recti). If you have — or suspect you have — diastasis, please consult your doctor or a pelvic-health physiotherapist first; we only adapt the protocol with medical clearance.
Why does every programme start with an assessment?
Because the right protocol depends on your skin, your history and your goals. The assessment — consultation, health history and skin scanner — lets us plan realistic sessions and home care, and tells us when a treatment is not right for you.
Are results guaranteed?
No. Results vary from person to person. We explain what the evidence shows, set realistic expectations and adjust your plan as your skin responds.
What is the difference between a programme and single treatments?
A programme is a complete plan built after your assessment: preparation, targeted sessions and home care, reviewed as you progress. You don’t buy three procedures — you receive a complete programme for your skin.
Can I cancel or reschedule an appointment?
Yes — free of charge up to 24 hours before your appointment, using the link in your confirmation email or from your account.
How do I pay for a treatment?
Depending on the treatment, you pay in full online, pay a deposit online, or pay at the clinic. The payment option is shown before you confirm your booking.
