The Tesla Former device.
Medical-grade technology, used under professional supervision at SkinMedics Pyrmont. Your suitability and settings are always tailored to you in consultation.
Tesla Former in session
A relaxed, comfortable experience — here's how a Tesla Former session looks at our Pyrmont clinic.
The science, quietly.
High-intensity magnetic pulses trigger thousands of deep, supramaximal muscle contractions you couldn't achieve voluntarily — building and defining, with no surgery and no downtime.
Tone you build, then keep.
Like any strength training, muscle responds to repeated, intense engagement. A planned series builds tone progressively — then the occasional session holds it. A single visit is a taste, not the result.
Indicative — your plan is always tailored in consultation.
The science behind Tesla Former
Tesla Former uses Functional Magnetic Stimulation (FMS) — a body-contouring technology built on decades of electromagnetic muscle-stimulation science. SkinMedics was proud to be one of the first clinics in Australia to offer it.
A focused electromagnetic field passes painlessly through the skin and fat to reach the muscle directly, triggering thousands of deep, supramaximal contractions — far more intense and sustained than you could produce voluntarily, even in a hard workout.
Responding to that repeated, intense engagement, the muscle adapts and strengthens over a planned series of sessions, in the same way muscle responds to consistent training — but concentrated into short, comfortable treatments with no downtime.
Maintaining your result: Tone is built over a course and then held with occasional maintenance sessions alongside a healthy, active lifestyle.
Considered, and assessed first
Non-invasive, no downtime
Nothing pierces the skin and there's no recovery — most people return to their day straight afterwards.
Comfortable by design
You feel intense but tolerable contractions and a warming sensation; the intensity is tailored to you and adjusted throughout.
Assessed first
It isn't suitable for everyone — certain implants (such as pacemakers) or metal in the treatment area mean it's not appropriate, which we check carefully in your consultation.

Myths & facts
Myth“It replaces exercise and diet.”
FactIt doesn't. It's a muscle-toning treatment that complements a healthy lifestyle, not a substitute for movement or nutrition.
Myth“You'll see the result after one session.”
FactLike training, tone builds progressively across a planned course — a single session is a taste, not the finished result.
Myth“It's painful.”
FactThe contractions are strong but comfortable, and the intensity is tailored to you and eased up or down as needed.
What to expect afterwards
There's no downtime with Tesla Former — the ‘timeline’ is really about how tone builds.
- Straight after No downtime — you can return to your day. The muscles may feel gently worked, a little like after exercise.
- 24–48 hours A mild ‘worked-out’ feeling can linger, exactly as it would after a good training session.
- Across the course Tone and strength build progressively over your planned series — the result is cumulative, not from a single visit.
- Ongoing Held with the occasional maintenance session and an active, healthy lifestyle.
Normal, and when to reach outA mild worked-out feeling is normal. If anything feels off or uncomfortable afterwards, just let us know.
A general guide — everyone heals a little differently, and your plan is always explained in your consultation.

Tesla Former is most effective as a course rather than a single session. We confirm course and package pricing in your consultation — clearly, and with no pressure.
Frequently asked questions
Does Tesla Former hurt?
No — most clients describe the sensation as strong but comfortable muscle contractions. You rest throughout the session.
How many sessions do I need?
Tesla Former is delivered as a course for best results, commonly six or more sessions. Your exact plan is tailored at consultation.
Is there any downtime?
Generally none. Most people return to their normal activities straight after a session.
Who is Tesla Former suitable for?
It suits many people seeking non-surgical muscle stimulation and contouring, but suitability is always confirmed during a medically supervised consultation.
What does a Tesla Former session feel like?
It feels like a series of strong but comfortable muscle contractions — many describe it as an intense workout for the area, without the effort. You stay relaxed throughout; there's no pain and no downtime.
How many sessions are recommended?
Most people are guided toward a course (commonly around 6–8 sessions) spaced over a few weeks, then occasional maintenance. Your ideal number is confirmed at consultation based on your goals and the area treated.
Is it suitable for men as well as women?
Yes — Tesla Former is used for both, commonly on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and arms. Suitability and any contraindications (such as metal implants or pregnancy) are always checked first.
Does it replace diet and exercise?
No — it's designed to complement a healthy lifestyle, not replace it. It targets muscle tone and definition in specific areas; we'll talk honestly about what it can and can't do at your consultation.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Yes — it pairs naturally with Accent Prime for skin and contour, and with the Tesla Chair for core and pelvic-floor support. We'll sequence everything sensibly so each treatment adds to the last.
