For a pre-owned unit, confirm applicator condition, remaining usage and warranty transfer terms.
How it worksTechnology and manufacturing
How the technology works
Simultaneous HIFEM muscle stimulation and synchronized RF fat heating in one applicator: RF raises subcutaneous fat to apoptosis-inducing temperatures while HIFEM drives ~20,000+ supramaximal contractions per 30-minute session.
BTL's cited clinical series show ~25-30% average fat reduction and ~25% muscle increase in treated areas over a 4-session course — best-documented combined effect in the category. Cleared for abdomen and thighs lipolysis/circumference plus muscle strengthening/toning across multiple body areas.
Patented technology
HIFEM with synchronized RF delivered from a single applicator; BTL states the combination is patented.
Origin
Czech Republic (BTL Industries; US subsidiary Marlborough, MA).
