TESLAFormer is a non-invasive muscle toning treatment that uses Functional Magnetic Stimulation (FMS) — a pulsed electromagnetic field — to cause deep, involuntary muscle contractions that ordinary exercise simply cannot replicate. Available at Bayside Endermologie in Beaumaris, it’s a 30-minute session where you lie fully clothed on a treatment bed while the device works the muscles beneath your skin. No sweat. No effort required. If you’ve heard of teslaformer treatment in Melbourne and want to understand what it actually does before booking, this is the honest explanation.
What TESLAFormer actually does
Most people don’t realise that the contractions produced by electromagnetic muscle treatments are nothing like the contractions you feel during a plank or a squat. They’re involuntary. The device bypasses your nervous system’s usual process and fires the muscle fibres directly.
Those fibres include the deep ones — the ones voluntary exercise rarely reaches, because your body naturally recruits surface muscles first. When the electromagnetic field hits them, they contract. Then contract again. In a single 30-minute session, the muscles in the treatment area experience many more contractions than you could deliberately produce in the same time, working at a depth that conventional training typically can’t access.
Over a course of sessions, this challenges muscle fibres in ways that can complement what you’re already doing at the gym. That word — complement — matters. TESLAFormer isn’t a shortcut. It’s a tool for reaching the parts of your body that conventional training often leaves behind.
You can find out more about the treatment on our TESLAFormer treatment page.
The science behind FMS technology
FMS stands for Functional Magnetic Stimulation. The device generates a strong, rapidly pulsing electromagnetic field that passes through skin and fat tissue and targets the muscle beneath.
When that field reaches a muscle, it induces what are called supramaximal contractions. “Supramaximal” means the contraction intensity exceeds what your brain would voluntarily signal your muscles to do. Your nervous system has a natural ceiling — a protective limit that stops you from contracting a muscle so hard that you’d injure it. Electromagnetic stimulation bypasses that ceiling.
You may have heard of EMSCULPT, the well-known electromagnetic muscle device made by BTL Aesthetics. TESLAFormer is made by TESLA Medical, a Czech company, and uses a comparable electromagnetic approach. Both are legitimate technologies working on the same fundamental principle. If you’ve been researching EMSCULPT in Melbourne and found your way here, you’re in the right territory.
What matters for understanding results is this: because the contractions go deeper and fire more frequently than voluntary exercise can achieve, the muscles respond by remodelling. That process continues for several weeks after a treatment course ends — which is why visible results often appear 2–4 weeks after your final session, not immediately after the first one.
But the technology is only part of it. Every body has its own rhythm, and Kristina watches how yours responds throughout your course rather than locking you into a fixed number of sessions from day one.
Which areas can TESLAFormer be used on?
At Bayside Endermologie, Kristina uses TESLAFormer on the abdomen, glutes, thighs, and arms. These tend to be the areas where clients feel their gym work isn’t delivering the definition they’re after — or where muscle tone has shifted after pregnancy or significant weight change.
The abdomen and glutes respond particularly well because they contain large muscle groups with significant deep-fibre volume.
Kristina personalises every session — there’s no standard here. The applicator placement and intensity settings are individually tailored based on your goals and body composition, so two clients working on their abdomens may have quite different session setups.
What does a TESLAFormer session involve?
You arrive, lie down on the treatment bed, and stay fully clothed. The applicator is placed over the treatment area and secured. Then it starts.
The sensation is unusual the first time. Most clients describe it as intense muscle contractions that they’re not choosing to make — the muscle is working hard, noticeably so, but it’s not painful in the way an injection or laser might be. It’s more like a very deep, very fast muscle fatigue happening without any effort on your part.
During the session you can lie there and read, scroll your phone, or just stare at the ceiling. The muscles are occupied; you don’t need to be.
Each session runs around 30 minutes. Most people go about their day normally afterwards — there’s no downtime, and any muscle fatigue is usually mild and brief, similar to what you’d feel after an unexpectedly hard workout. A full course is typically 16–20 sessions, scheduled 2–3 times per week. The exact number depends on your goals and how your body responds, which Kristina assesses as you go.
What results can you expect, and how quickly?
We’d rather be honest here than just enthusiastic.
TESLAFormer is a clinically backed technology. It may help build muscle definition in the treatment area, improve the appearance of tone, and contribute to body contouring goals — particularly in areas where underworked muscle sits beneath soft tissue. Clients often notice a difference in the firmness and definition of the treated area after completing a course.
What we can’t promise is a specific measurement — “lose X centimetres” or “gain X% muscle” — because results vary depending on your starting point, your lifestyle, and how your body responds to treatment. We’ll always give you an honest picture of what’s realistic at your initial consultation.
What Kristina has observed in her years working with body contouring treatments — she’s been at Bayside Endermologie since the clinic opened in 2017 — is that clients who see the most meaningful results are those who treat TESLAFormer as a complement to an active lifestyle. That’s not a caveat to bury in fine print; it’s the setup that actually works.
Results typically become more visible 2–4 weeks after your final session as the muscle remodelling continues.
Who is TESLAFormer best suited for?
TESLAFormer tends to suit people who already exercise but aren’t getting the muscle definition they want in specific areas. It’s also a good fit for clients looking to restore tone after pregnancy or significant weight change, or for those who have an injury or health condition that limits certain types of exercise.
Many clients at Bayside Endermologie combine TESLAFormer with LPG Endermologie — working on both muscle definition and skin texture at the same time. The two treatments address different layers of the body and work well together.
TESLAFormer isn’t suitable for everyone. Kristina goes through your medical history before recommending treatment, and there are circumstances where it’s not appropriate:
- Metal implants or electronic devices in or near the treatment area (this includes pacemakers, certain IUDs, and joint replacements) — the electromagnetic field is the issue, not anything specific to TESLAFormer
- Pregnancy
- Active malignancy
If you’re unsure whether any of these apply to you, raise it at your consultation. We’d rather have that conversation early.
Frequently asked questions
Is TESLAFormer the same as EMSCULPT?
No. They’re separate products made by different companies. EMSCULPT is made by BTL Aesthetics; TESLAFormer is made by TESLA Medical. Both use electromagnetic muscle stimulation and work on the same fundamental principle. The practical differences come down to device design, applicator configuration, and the protocols used in each clinic. If you’ve researched EMSCULPT and want to know whether TESLAFormer is comparable, the straightforward answer is: broadly yes, in terms of the category of treatment.
Does TESLAFormer hurt?
Not in the way most people mean when they ask. The sensation is intense — involuntary muscle contractions happening repeatedly — and the first session can feel quite strong. Most clients find it manageable once they understand what they’re feeling. It’s not sharp or burning. Kristina adjusts the intensity to suit you, and typically starts lower on your first session to let your muscles adapt.
How many sessions do I need?
A full course at Bayside Endermologie is typically 16–20 sessions, scheduled 2–3 times per week. The exact number varies — some clients need fewer, others more — because it depends on your goals, your starting point, and how your body responds. Kristina assesses this throughout your course rather than setting a fixed number at the start. How many sessions are right for you is exactly what the initial consultation is for.
Can I use TESLAFormer if I have a pacemaker or metal implants?
No. The electromagnetic field that makes TESLAFormer work is also why it’s not safe for people with pacemakers, implanted defibrillators, or metal implants in or near the treatment area — including certain IUDs and joint replacements. If you have any implant, please mention it at your consultation so Kristina can advise you properly. This applies to all electromagnetic muscle devices, not just TESLAFormer.
