Effective Non-Surgical Body Contour
Works differently but complementary ways
EM-Sculpt focuses on building muscle and strengthening your core, creating visible tone, lift, and definition. It’s ideal if you want a firmer abdomen, a lifted buttock area, or improved muscle structure that enhances your natural shape. RF Cavi-Lipo targets stubborn fat and skin laxity, helping to slim, smooth, and refine areas that may not respond to diet and exercise. It improves contour while tightening the skin for a more sculpted silhouette.
When combined, they work hand in hand:
• EM-Sculpt builds the foundation (muscle tone and lift)
• RF Cavi-Lipo refines the surface (fat reduction and skin tightening)
The result? A stronger, leaner, smoother body contour — without surgery or downtime.
At Viva Clinics, we customise your treatment plan based on your goals, body composition, and lifestyle to ensure natural-looking, confidence-boosting results. Whether you choose one treatment or combine both for enhanced sculpting, your journey is designed around achieving a balanced, proportionate, and beautifully defined outcome.
