Overview
Electromagnetic muscle stimulation to build muscle and reduce fat without surgery or downtime
InShape is an advanced electromagnetic muscle stimulation (EMS) body sculpting device that delivers measurable improvements in muscle mass and fat reduction. By generating a powerful electromagnetic field, InShape induces supramaximal muscle contractions, the kind of intense, involuntary contractions that would take tens of thousands of repetitions to replicate through conventional exercise.
As the muscle responds to these extreme contractions, it grows in volume and strength, while the simultaneous metabolic demand on the surrounding fat tissue causes a reduction in fat cell size. The treatment is entirely non-invasive and painless, requiring no anaesthetic, no downtime and no recovery period.
InShape is up to three times more powerful than comparable EMS devices. Maison Restorative was among the first clinics to introduce this technology, and we remain brand ambassadors for the device.

Is it right for me?
InShape is ideal for those looking to enhance muscle definition and reduce fat in specific areas of the body, particularly those who exercise regularly but want to accelerate results or target areas that are difficult to improve through training alone.
What to expect
Your treatment journey
- 1
Consultation
Your practitioner assesses your body composition goals, identifies the target muscle groups and recommends a personalised treatment course.

Treatment
The InShape applicator is positioned over the target area and the session begins; intense electromagnetic pulses stimulate the muscle through 30 minutes of supramaximal contractions while you relax.

Aftercare
There is no downtime; you can return to normal activities immediately and your practitioner will advise on the number of sessions needed to achieve your goals.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What does an InShape session feel like?
The sensation is of your muscles contracting strongly and rapidly. It is intense but painless; there is no heat, no discomfort to the skin and no recovery needed afterwards.
What results can I expect?
Clinical data for EMS devices of this type report an average 16% increase in muscle mass and 21% reduction in fat in the treated area, though individual results vary. Your practitioner will set realistic expectations at consultation.
How many sessions are needed?
A course of multiple sessions is typically recommended for meaningful results. Your practitioner will advise the right number based on your starting point and goals.
Is InShape a weight-loss treatment?
InShape is a body sculpting and muscle-building treatment, not a weight-loss programme. It is most effective for people who are already active and close to their ideal weight but want to define specific muscle groups or reduce localised fat.
Which body areas can be treated?
InShape can target a range of muscle groups including the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and arms. Your practitioner will confirm which areas are most appropriate for your goals.
How much does InShape body sculpting cost?
Pricing depends on the treatment course agreed for you and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
