Stomach and abdominal muscles
Stomach and abs refer to the same main service area. We discuss muscle tone, abdominal contour and whether fat or loose skin is actually the main concern.

EMS Body Sculpting
in Southampton
EMS body sculpting is available for suitable abdominal, buttock, calf and upper-arm goals at our Southampton clinic. The focus is muscle stimulation and contour, with a plan tailored to the area.

Understanding your options
How the treatment is approached
The clinic’s electromagnetic system produces repeated muscle contractions through applicators positioned over suitable muscle groups. This differs from simply heating fat or freezing a fat pocket. It does not replace movement, strength training or a balanced lifestyle.

Areas and treatment options
Buttocks
A buttock programme aims at muscle conditioning and contour. It is not an injectable or surgical Brazilian butt lift and does not add filler volume.
Calves
Calf treatment is considered where the applicator and protocol suit the muscle and the client’s goals.
Upper arms
For suitable upper-arm muscle goals. Loose skin and a fat pocket may need a different approach and should not be confused with muscle tone.
Two or four applicators
Applicator choice affects coverage and price. Your booking specifies the areas and number used; four pads do not necessarily mean four unrelated body areas.
Experience behind your care
Clinical practice.
Professional education.
Established in Southampton since 2011, Skintastic brings over 15 years of industry experience to consultation and treatment planning.
An academy as well as a clinic
We deliver Ofqual-regulated qualifications. Our owner is an assessor and Internal Quality Assurer (IQA), and also acts as a UK Responsible Person (UKRP) for medical devices.
Your body-contouring plan identifies the technology, applicators, treatment boundaries and follow-up appropriate to your goals.
Ofqual regulates qualifications and awarding organisations. MHRA device registration is not approval or endorsement of a device or clinic. Professional experience does not remove treatment risks, which we discuss individually.
Results & recovery
What to expect
The muscle contractions can feel intense and can be followed by soreness similar to exercise. A course is usually discussed, with maintenance based on goals and response. We do not promise a specific number of centimetres, a six-pack or a percentage of fat loss.
Suitability and risks
Implanted electronic devices and some metal implants can make treatment unsuitable. Pregnancy, hernia concerns, recent surgery and relevant medical or muscle conditions need assessment. Muscle soreness and discomfort are possible.

Before & after
Plan for your appointment
Before you attend
Tell the practitioner about medicines, allergies, pregnancy, implants, previous procedures and changes in health. Preparation is specific to the method and product; do not stop prescribed medicines without your prescriber’s advice.
Aftercare and follow-up
Tell us about implants, surgery, hernias and health changes before treatment. Follow activity advice if muscles remain sore. Do not use treatment as a substitute for medical assessment of abdominal pain or weakness.
Your questions
Before you decide
Does EMS remove loose skin?
It primarily targets muscle. Skin laxity needs separate assessment.
Is this a weight-loss treatment?
No. It is a local contour and muscle-focused service.
Do I need screening if no patch test is required?
Yes. Not needing a laser patch test does not remove the need for a medical history and contraindication assessment.
How much will my treatment cost?
Courses are optional, subject to suitability, and save 10% against the listed single-session total. Assessment for the booked treatment is included in the appointment price.
Will I need a course?
That depends on the concern, suitability and response. We discuss the likely commitment and review progress before recommending more appointments.
