What is the Ab-Tone treatment?
Ab-Tone is a medical treatment that uses electrical muscle stimulation to improve abdominal muscle tone. Electrodes are placed on the targeted area to produce controlled, repeated muscle contractions.
How does neuromuscular stimulation work?
Electrical impulses directly stimulate the motor nerves, causing involuntary and deep muscle contractions. This process promotes neuromuscular re-education and activates more muscle fibers than voluntary effort alone.
Who is Ab-Tone for?
Ab-Tone is suitable for adults who wish to:
- Strengthen their abdominal muscles
- Improve abdominal tone and firmness
- Support posture and core stability
- Complement an active lifestyle or fitness routine
A preliminary consultation is always performed to confirm eligibility.
What are the benefits of Ab-Tone?
- Targeted abdominal muscle strengthening
- Improved muscle tone and firmness
- Optimized muscle recruitment (e.g., asymmetry between both sides)
- Deep muscle activation
- Non-invasive, safe, medically supervised treatment
- No recovery time required
What does a session feel like?
During treatment, you will feel rhythmic and intense muscle contractions, adjusted to your comfort level. The sensation is generally well tolerated. After the session, mild muscle soreness or temporary muscle spasms—similar to a challenging workout—may occur.
How many sessions are needed?
Ab-Tone is typically offered as a series of treatments, depending on your goals, initial muscle condition, and response to stimulation. A personalized treatment plan is created during your consultation.
Are there any contraindications?
Yes. Ab-Tone is not recommended for individuals with:
- Active implanted electrical devices (e.g., pacemakers)
- Pregnancy
- Certain medical conditions
All contraindications are reviewed during the consultation to ensure safety.
Are the results permanent?
Results vary from person to person. A healthy, active lifestyle and maintenance sessions can help preserve and enhance long-term results.
