How Tesla Former and Chair work

Contractions beyond voluntary effort.

At Dr Jinah Yoo Regenerative Centre, we utilise the Tesla Former and Tesla Chair to help patients achieve their aesthetic goals, whether they are looking to tone specific areas or improve muscle definition. These devices can provide noticeable results without surgery, offering a safe and effective method for body contouring and muscle strengthening.

The Tesla Former and Tesla Chair use high-intensity electromagnetic fields to induce supramaximal muscle contractions. These contractions go beyond what can be achieved through voluntary muscle movement, causing the muscles to grow, strengthen, and tone. With Tesla Former, the device targets specific muscle groups on areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. Tesla Chair is specifically designed to help tone and strengthen pelvic floor muscles, improving both aesthetic and functional outcomes.
