Body Contouring
Body contouring covers two different requests — add muscle, or remove fat — and the platforms below answer them in different ways. HIFEM drives supramaximal muscle contractions with monopolar RF heating the fat above. Cryolipolysis only addresses fat, crystallising the triglycerides inside fat cells so they clear through normal metabolism over the following weeks. Rotating compression sits at the low-intensity end, for circulation, lymphatic drainage and the appearance of cellulite. They are bought by med spas, wellness practices and body-sculpting studios that sell contouring as a course or a membership rather than a one-off. Every platform is quoted in writing — specification sheet, lead time, freight and total landed cost — with clearance documentation supplied with the quote. Which one fits is a question about what you are selling rather than which machine is stronger, so tell us the service and the patients you want to treat, and we will tell you which of these does the job — and which one you do not need.
Regulatory clearance is granted per device model, not per company. Every platform's status is stated on its own page and confirmed in writing before purchase. See how clearance works.
The platforms
Build muscle and reduce fat in the same 30-minute session.
Controlled cooling, plus RF and ultrasound handpieces.
Multi-technology body contouring in one console.
Body sculpting and a pelvic floor chair on one platform.
Rotating compression for cellulite and lymphatic drainage.
How to choose
These two platforms change different tissue, which makes the choice a question about what you are selling rather than which machine is stronger.

Questions
Questions about buying, quotes, warranty and lead times are answered on the full FAQ.
They change different tissue. HIFEM drives supramaximal muscle contractions a patient cannot produce voluntarily, and the paired monopolar RF raises subcutaneous fat to the point of apoptosis — muscle added underneath, fat reduced above. Cryolipolysis addresses fat only: controlled cooling crystallises the triglycerides inside fat cells, which then clear through normal metabolism over the following weeks.
The HIFEM and RF platform runs 30-minute sessions, typically sold as a course of four or more roughly a week apart, with no pre- or post-treatment preparation to schedule around. The cryolipolysis console does not publish a session length on its device page; cycle time depends on the handpiece and the area, and is confirmed on the specification sheet supplied with the quote.
We will not quote a payback period — that depends on your pricing and your calendar, not on the machine. What the specifications support is that HIFEM and RF is sold as a multi-session course of four or more, and that the cryolipolysis console ships five handpieces across three modalities, so one console can carry several different contouring services.
