The most frequently asked questions
about our professional slimming devices
Yes. It can easily be combined with other slimming treatments, such as cryotherapy, palper rouler massage, laser, infrared, ultrasound, etc. These technologies optimise BodySculptor® results.
The first results can be seen at the end of the 6th session.
Average losses of 6.5cm from the waistline, 7.2cm from the hips and 3.9cm from the thighs – i.e. 2 clothes sizes – have been observed after 12 BodySculptor® sessions (over 4 to 6 weeks). However, results do vary from one individual to another. They depend on an individual’s metabolism and health practices.
Yes. Sometimes more than 12 sessions are needed to remove stubborn and long-standing fat. So it’s possible to have 12, 18, 24 or even more consecutive sessions.
Apart from formal contraindications for patients fitted with a pacemaker, there are no particular reasons to avoid the low-frequency alternating bioenergy fields produced by the device, which aren’t dangerous at all. However, out of an abundance of caution, we do not recommend our devices are used by:
• Pregnant women
• Patients with a serious illness
• People with skin problems or skin lesions (cuts, bruises, etc.)
Use of the BodySculptor® micropressure feature is not recommended for people with:
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Infections (erysipelas, lymphangitis, etc.)
• Severe arterial disease (stages 3 and 4)
• Untreated heart conditions
• Haemophilia
• Fragile hair
The recommended protocol is 12 sessions of 45 minutes, 2 to 3 times per week. The course would be 4 to 6 weeks. However, you can follow an “express” course: 12 sessions of 45 minutes over 12 days.
Electrical muscle stimulation only targets striated muscles, while BioStimology® technology acts on the stimulation of the calcium exchange to stimulate both striated and smooth muscles.
Electrical muscle stimulation has to be performed as part of an active fitness programme.
BioStimology® is generally applied when the user is stationary on a massage table.
After a BodySculptor® session, some slight aches and pains have very rarely been reported, particularly by people who aren’t used to physical activity.
Our devices produce a small amount of heat which promotes relaxation.
No. The low-frequency alternating bioenergetic fields produced by our devices are not painful.
The BodySculptor® applies micropressure that feels just like a massage.
Due to their very low intensity, low-frequency alternating bioenergetic fields are not harmful to health.

The most frequently asked questions
about our home devices
Our BodySculptor® home devices are connected to active inductive straps, which help unlock fat cells. Firstly, the field generated causes imperceptible muscle contractions, which use up energy. Then, those muscles draw on your fat reserves to produce the ATP energy they need, helping to slim different parts of the body, including your waist, hips and the oval of your face (depending on the model chosen).
The first results can be seen at the end of the 6th session, i.e. after the second week of use at home.
The results displayed on our website have been achieved during clinical studies in 20 people without any changes to the health practices of the individuals tested.
However, results do vary from one individual to another. They depend on an individual’s metabolism and health practices.
Yes, the BodySculptor® Belt and BodySculptor® Mask can be used more often than the recommended three times per week. Daily sessions can be performed, and there are no side effects associated with intensive use.
With the exception of a strict contraindication for those fitted with cardiac pacemakers, there are no contraindications specific to the device’s Bioenergetic field, which is completely safe. However, as a precaution, we don’t recommend the BodySculptor® Belt or BodySculptor® Mask are used in the following circumstances:
- serious illness;
- skin diseases or skin lesions (cuts, bruises, etc.);
- coagulation disorders, treatment with anticoagulants;
- uncontrolled hypertension; •
- diabetes mellitus;
- phlebitis and/or vasculitis; •
- cancer or tumours;
- excessive obesity;
- pregnancy;
- vascular fragility;
- recent surgery (6 weeks); •
- skin infections/open wounds;
- varicose veins;
- under 18 years of age;
- inability to understand the consequences, implications and risks of using the device in connection with necessary medical procedures;
- any passive metallic device or other metallic object present on or in the body;
- any active implantable medical device or active medical device worn on the body.
The recommended protocol is 12 sessions of 45 to 60 minutes, 3 times per week. The initial course would be 4 weeks. However, you can follow an “express” course: 12 sessions of 60 minutes over 12 days, followed by 2 to 3 sessions per week for year-round maintenance.
Electrical muscle stimulation only targets striated muscles, while BioStimology® technology acts on the stimulation of the calcium exchange to stimulate both striated and smooth muscles. Electrical muscle stimulation has to be performed as part of an active fitness programme. BioStimology® is generally used with a static protocol at home (during quiet time or study).
Useful information: The BodySculptor® Belt and BodySculptor® Mask can also be used during cardio activity to achieve greater energy output and even better results!
Our devices produce a small amount of heat, which promotes relaxation: approximately 30- 33°C.
Absolutely not: the low-frequency alternating bioenergetic fields produced by our devices are not painful.
Because of their very low intensity, low-frequency alternating bioenergy fields are not harmful to your health (50Hz, the same as domestic current). The field applied is also an alternating field, which means there’s absolutely no cellular stress due to its alternating and non-pulsating nature => 100% safe.
Make sure the case is properly clipped onto the three press studs on your Belt or Mask. If the problem persists, please contact us at adv@biostimology.com
What you need to be aware of when doing home sessions with BodySculptor® devices is that, although our technology mobilises the muscles, you may not necessarily feel your muscles contracting. There’s no tugging or mechanical agitation of the muscle, because our technology focuses on creating completely imperceptible muscle contractions. Why? Because we’re essentially mobilising smooth muscle, which – unlike the striated muscles that make up the rest of our body – are muscles whose contractions we don’t actually feel. They function unconsciously.
Yes. The bioenergy field specific to our devices is one that spreads out, so the active strap doesn’t need to be in direct contact with the skin to be effective.
Although not compulsory, we strongly recommend you apply the gel if you want to see results in terms of your skin’s appearance. Our OsmoSculpt® gels contain no preservatives, colourings, allergens or fragrances, guaranteeing total respect for your skin’s ecology. They are concentrated in slimming/anti-ageing active ingredients to reinforce and prolong the effectiveness of the Mask and Belt. We recommend you apply the gel between the inducer strap and your skin during sessions.
Our devices for personal use have been developed thanks to almost 20 years of hard work and clinical studies on BioStimology® for professional applications in spas and aesthetic medicine. Find more information about all our clinical trials on our website: www.bodysculptor.fr
