Body, Hair & Scalp
Uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate strong muscle contractions, sometimes combined with radiofrequency, to aid muscle tone and body contour.
Muscle toning and body contouring in Vancouver
Muscle toning builds firmer, more defined muscle in a specific area, such as the abdomen, buttocks, arms or thighs. It's a favourite with people who are already active and want one area to look stronger and more sculpted.
At our clinic, muscle toning is delivered with Emsculpt NEO, which combines muscle stimulation with gentle heating that also reduces some fat in the treated area.
If weight itself is your main goal, our medical weight management program is a great place to start.
Concerns & Goals
Localized abdominal fat that may remain despite diet and exercise.
Localized fat around the thighs or knees that affects leg contour.
Localized fat on the upper arms that can soften arm definition.
Changes in body shape driven by fat distribution, muscle loss, skin laxity, pregnancy, aging or weight fluctuation.
A reduction in muscle firmness, size, strength or visible definition.
Reduced gluteal firmness, projection or muscle definition affecting the shape of the buttocks.
Reduced strength or coordination following injury, surgery, illness, pain, or inactivity.
Reduced strength or coordination in the muscles that support the abdomen, spine and pelvis.
Loose or excess skin that remains after significant weight loss when stretched skin doesn't fully bounce back.
Dimpled or uneven skin caused by the interaction of fat, connective bands, and skin structure.
The Emsculpt NEO page explains how the treatment works, what a session feels like, recovery and safety.
For cellulite, loose skin or larger areas of fat, our team can recommend treatments designed for those goals.
Muscle toning suits healthy adults at or near a stable weight who already move regularly and want a specific area to look more defined. It works as a boost to your own efforts.
Because the treatment uses electromagnetic energy, let us know about any implants, electronic devices or metal in the area, as well as pregnancy, hernias or recent surgery.
Your medical history, medications and previous treatments are reviewed at your consultation to confirm which option suits you.
Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic
Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic can help you understand this treatment, explore related technologies and concerns, and build a plan around your goals.
You'll meet one of our senior laser technicians, who look at the area you'd like to treat, your body composition, how stable your weight has been, your activity level and the result you're hoping to see.
We also check for implants and electronic devices, metal in or near the area, hernias, pregnancy, recent surgery and relevant medical conditions, so your treatment is safe and comfortable. If another treatment would suit your goal better, such as fat reduction, skin tightening or medical weight management, we'll walk you through it.
Cosmetic consultations are complimentary. When you book a treatment, we take a card on file. New clients pay a $150 deposit that goes toward their treatment, and a $150 no-show fee applies if an appointment is missed.
What improves. Muscle tone and definition in the treated area, firmer abdominal and gluteal muscles, and some reduction of fat over the same muscle. Many people notice the area feels firmer before it looks different.
When change appears. Gradually, over the weeks after a course, and it continues to develop for a while after your final session. Visible definition also depends on how much fat sits over the muscle.
Your plan. Treatment is given as a course of sessions over a few weeks. Muscle adapts in the same way it does with training, so staying active and having periodic maintenance sessions help you keep your result. The Emsculpt NEO page covers the session schedule, recovery and safety.
What shapes your result: your starting muscle mass and body composition, the fat over the treated muscle, age, hormones, activity, protein intake and weight stability. Individual results vary.

FAQ
Yes. The contractions are real and involuntary, and the muscle responds much as it does to intense training, which is why you may feel sore the next day. How visible the change is depends on your body composition and the fat over the muscle, and we'll talk that through at your consultation.
It works best alongside exercise. Treatment focuses on the muscles in one area, while exercise looks after your heart, metabolism, bones, mood and whole body. Think of it as extra focus on a stubborn area, on top of the effort you already put in.
Electronic implants such as pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators and drug pumps rule out electromagnetic muscle treatment, and metal near the treatment area also matters. Tell us about any implant when you book, and our team will confirm whether another treatment would suit you better.
Muscle changes are maintained the same way training gains are. Staying active, keeping your weight steady and having periodic maintenance sessions help you hold your result for longer.
Your muscles did a lot of work. The contractions in a session are stronger and more numerous than voluntary ones, so you may feel sore the way you would after a hard workout. It usually settles within a day or two.
