Stubborn Tummy That Won’t Budge, However Hard You Try?

You’re putting in the work, but your tummy isn’t

You eat pretty well. You get to the gym or a class when life lets you. But that lower tummy stays soft, your core feels weak, and your back complains after a long day. Planks feel like they’re working everything except your abs.

It’s frustrating, and it’s really common. Babies, birthdays, desk jobs and getting older all chip away at core strength, and stubborn fat over the tummy is often the last to shift.

Why the gym alone often isn’t enough

When you do a sit-up, you only switch on part of the muscle, and only as hard as you can manage. If your core has been stretched or neglected for a while, it’s hard to get those deep muscles firing properly.

Meet Emsculpt

You lie back while an applicator sits on your tummy. It uses HIFEM energy to trigger about 20,000 muscle contractions in a 30-minute session, far stronger than you could do on your own. Studies show it helps build muscle and reduce fat in the treated area. It feels like an intense workout, but you don’t break a sweat, and there’s little to no downtime.

If loose skin is part of the picture too, we may suggest adding Exion Body, which uses radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound to help improve skin laxity and firmness.

How it works

• Free consult. 15 minutes with Jacci to talk about your goals and check Emsculpt suits you.
• Your sessions. Typically 4–6 sessions, twice a week.
• Keep it. Stay active and keep eating well to hold onto your results. Some women book a top-up every few months.

What to expect

Many women feel stronger after 2–4 sessions, and the full benefits show once the course is done. It’s not weight loss and it’s not surgery. It’s a stronger, firmer core that helps you feel good in your jeans again.

Questions women ask us

Does it hurt?

It feels like strong, deep muscle contractions. It’s intense but not painful, and we can adjust it.

Is it a weight-loss treatment?

No. It builds muscle and helps reduce fat in the area we treat. It’s for toning, not dropping kilos.

Can you do glutes too?

Yes. Emsculpt also works on your glutes. Ask us at your consult.

Who isn’t it suitable for?

Pregnancy, some implants and certain health conditions. We’ll go through it all at your free consult.
