Non-Surgical Body Sculpting
Radiofrequency and electromagnetic muscle stimulation body treatments on live models, with safe technique, contraindications and claims you can stand behind.
Overview
Body treatments without needles, taught in a clinic that runs them every week. You learn the two kinds of body device most clinics use: radiofrequency (RF), which gently heats the skin and the tissue beneath it, and electromagnetic muscle stimulation (EMS), which makes muscles contract. The course is device neutral and honest: RF and EMS are not weight-loss treatments, and you learn to explain what they can and cannot do.
What you'll learn
- How RF heating and EMS work, in plain terms
- Skin, fat and muscle anatomy of the body
- Consultation, body image screening and realistic expectations
- Contraindications, sensation testing and test patches
- Safe RF technique with skin temperature monitoring
- EMS applicator placement and intensity
- Device safety checks, records and aftercare
- Honest advertising for body treatments
Practical training
Each student treats at least one RF area and one EMS area on live models at our Chichester clinic. Maximum of three students.
- Before the day: the course manual, written tasks and a 30-question theory assessment (pass mark 80%)

Entry requirements and insurance
Aged 18 or over, with Level 3 Beauty Therapy, or Level 2 Beauty Therapy plus a recognised anatomy and physiology qualification (for example our Anatomy and Physiology Level 4), or registration as a healthcare professional. We check certificates before booking.
Insurance
Before you book, please check with an insurer that you will be able to get insurance for this treatment once you have completed the course. Insurers set their own requirements, and we cannot guarantee that an insurer will cover you.
After your training
Want your own machine? Body sculpting machines can be bought through us: ask us for details, and we will talk you through the checks to make before you buy. Once you have passed both assessments, confirm cover with your insurer before treating clients.
Support does not stop when the day ends. You can contact the team with questions as you start treating clients, and we can point you towards suppliers and insurers when you are ready.
