Electrical muscle stimulation only targets striated muscles, whereas BioStimology® technology, through its low-frequency alternating bioenergetic field, creates gentle, imperceptible activity in the muscles beneath the skin.
Electrical muscle stimulation is generally part of an active fitness programme.
BioStimology® is generally applied with a static protocol, with the user lying on a massage table.

The most frequently asked questions
about our home appliances
Our BodySculptor® home appliances are connected to active inductive straps that emit a low-frequency alternating bioenergetic field. Firstly, the field generated creates gentle, imperceptible activity in the muscles beneath the skin, which uses up energy. Then, session after session, this activity helps visibly slim the areas concerned: waist, hips and facial contour (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 were measured in efficacy tests carried out by independent laboratories (Gredeco, Paris; IEC, Lyon) on around twenty volunteers, without any change to their lifestyle.
However, results do vary from one individual to another. They depend in particular on each person’s metabolism and lifestyle.
Yes, the BodySculptor® Belt and BodySculptor® Mask can be used more often than the recommended three times per week. Daily sessions are possible, provided the session durations and precautions for use given in the user manual are respected.
With the exception of a strict contraindication for people fitted with a cardiac pacemaker or any active implanted medical device, the low-frequency alternating bioenergetic field of this appliance is not subject to any specific contraindication. However, as a precaution, we do not recommend the BodySculptor® Belt or BodySculptor® Mask in the following circumstances:
- serious illness;
- skin diseases or skin lesions (cuts, bruises, etc.);
- coagulation disorders, anticoagulant treatment;
- uncontrolled hypertension;
- diabetes;
- phlebitis and/or vasculitis;
- cancer or tumours;
- severe obesity;
- pregnancy;
- vascular fragility;
- recent surgery (6 weeks);
- skin infections/open wounds;
- varicose veins;
- under 18 years of age;
- inability to understand the instructions and precautions for use;
- any metallic implant or other metallic object present on or in the body;
- any active implanted medical device or active medical device worn on the body.
Please refer to the user manual for the full list of contraindications and precautions for use.
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, whereas BioStimology® technology, through its low-frequency alternating bioenergetic field, creates gentle, imperceptible activity in the muscles beneath the skin. Electrical muscle stimulation is generally 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 for greater energy expenditure.
Our appliances produce a gentle warmth, which promotes relaxation: approximately 30-33°C.
Absolutely not: the low-frequency alternating bioenergetic fields produced by our appliances are not painful.
Because of their very low intensity (50 Hz, the same frequency as domestic current), the low-frequency alternating bioenergetic fields produced by our appliances are safe to use under the conditions of use set out in the user manual. The field applied is an alternating, non-pulsed field.
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 ad*@**********gy.com
What you need to be aware of when doing home sessions with BodySculptor® appliances 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 creates completely imperceptible muscle activity. Why? Because we’re essentially mobilising smooth muscle, which – unlike the striated muscles – are muscles whose contractions we don’t actually feel. They function unconsciously.
Yes. The bioenergetic field specific to our appliances spreads out, so the active strap doesn’t need to be in direct contact with the skin to act.
Although not compulsory, we recommend applying the gel if you also want results in terms of your skin’s appearance. Our OsmoSculpt® gels contain no preservatives, colourings or fragrances, respecting your skin’s ecology. Formulated for the silhouette and skin radiance, they complement Mask and Belt sessions. We recommend applying the gel between the inductive strap and your skin during sessions.
Our appliances for personal use benefit from over 20 years of experience with BioStimology® in beauty salons and spas. Their efficacy has been measured in tests carried out by independent laboratories (Gredeco, Paris; IEC, Lyon), the results of which are presented on the product pages of our website: www.bodysculptor.fr
