Frequently Asked Questions

Madame Et Monsieur is committed to your health and wellbeing. You can lose weight in an effective, but healthy manner. We want you to feel good about how you look, live your life with confidence, health and inner strength.

What is your success rate?

If you stick to the eating plan and don't miss your treatments you are assured of achieving weight loss, in a fast, but healthy way. We'd love to say 100, but 99% of our clients are satisfied that they got real value for money and they lost their desired weight and centimetres.

How does it work?

The Madame et Monsieur concept is based on the scientific and medically approved computerised electro therapy stimulation of your muscles while you relax, and in total safety. Electrodes are attached to your skin, in a pattern tailored to your own specific problem areas and the electro stimulation is like you doing 600 sit-ups, leg lifts and push-ups. All in half an hour! We call it 'passive exercise.'

What do I wear for the session?

There is no need to bring additional clothes, or anything at all. Because we need to attach the stimulation electrodes directly to the skin, you'll need to strip down to your underwear. If you prefer you can wear a bikini, but because each treatment room is totally private, the easier it is for you to come in and out, the better. Our therapists are totally proffesional.

Is that all there is to it?

We encourage you to have a healthy eating habit for the rest of your life so you will avoid the see-saw weight affect. While you are having therapy we will also suggest a low carbohydrate eating plan. The two go hand in hand.

Doesn't an 'eating plan' mean 'diet'?

Yes and no. We want you to be strict for the four weeks of therapy we spend together, because this way you will get the best results. Do you really want to lose those kilos, safely in this short period? This 'diet' gives you quite a bit of choice and freedom, it is easy to stick to, there is heaps of food and best of all, it has great flexibility for those meals that you are eating at a café or restaurant.

So I guess you make money by selling me pre-packaged foods?

No. Think of the chemicals and preservatives these foods must have! This means toxins, and toxins equals cellulite. You also won't weigh foods, measure foods and you'll never again need to count another calorie.

What is the basis of the eating plan?

It is very low in carbohydrates and you'll find there's lots of salad, vegetables and lean protein. There's even a little fat which not only is proven to dramatically help speed up your metabolism, but helps give that feeling that you're not on a 'diet'!

How often do I have the electro therapy treatments?

Our treatment plans are spread over 4 weeks. Each week you must do 2 hours, which can be made up of 2 visits, or spread over 4 visits. We will also measure you and weight you twice a week to help inspire you to stay on track!

Can I try before I buy?

It would be our pleasure! Just phone or email us so we can book you in for a Free half hour session. You relax while we give your muscles the workout of their life!

Yes, but wouldn't a strict diet do the same thing?

Not even a diet of water and bread would do this in isolation! And besides, you would have flabby unattractive loose skin and muscles. The Madame Et Monsieur system is about electro muscular exercise which means you will be firming and toning your body. (well actually, we will be doing it for you). On your own, with a good diet, over this same period, you can lose weight and one dress size, with our system, you can lose two dress sizes! You lose weight and your toned body loses centimetres and cellulite.

Is this too good to be true?

Definitely not. But it has been kept a secret! Sports doctors, physiotherapists and athletes have been using this style of therapy for years to tone and strengthen their muscles. And with us, you are in the very best hands. Madame Et Monsieur has been in operation since 1983 with nearly 100 outlets world wide. This makes us the biggest and most experienced electro therapy clinic in the world.

When I finish the electrotherapy course, will the weight creep back?

Well if you go back to eating those foods you know you shouldn't then, yes. But by now you should have developed a very healthy eating regime and your new look will inspire you to stick to it. We have beautifully thin clients like Morgan Fairchild, Shaka Khan, Lorna Durn, Shirley MacLaim, Stevie Wonder, William Shatner, Marie Osmond, Miss Africa & Universe, Miss Beverly Hills, Dr. George Semel (Cosmetic Surgeon) and Mr Ron Meir & wife: President of Universal Studios. come in regularly for a 'toning and firming' session, so you may well want to do this. After all, how else could you give your muscles a work out equivalent to 600 push ups and sit ups-and all in your lunchbreak.

Does it hurt?

They say there is no gain without pain. Well this doesn't hurt, but, you are always aware that your muscles are being worked like crazy. Most of our clients say the sensation is 'weird' in the beginning, but they get used to it very quickly.

So I just lie there for half an hour, close my eyes and think of England?

Well, you could think of the new clothes you'll be buying in four weeks, or the more energy you will have to do more in your life. We have magazines, but many of our clients like to bring a book they are reading. Perhaps you may like to bring a your Ipod.

Are there any other positive effets of the Madame Et Monsieur treatment?

Yes, the Madame et Monsieur treatment improves your blood circulation, and stimulates the lymph glands. Other advantages are relieve from symptoms related to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, lower back problems, diabetes, arthritis, rheumatism, low energy levels, insomnia, obesity, low sexual libido and other stress related disorders.

I have heard people say the Electrode therapy doesn't really work and is just a 'sell'. What is the truth?

Electrode Therapy is not a gimmick. It is used in medicine by many sports doctors, urologists and physiotherapists to strengthen damaged and withered muscles.

Is the diet a compulsary part of the Madame Et Monsieur treatment?

No, you do not have to use our recommended diet, yet you can be sure to achieve better results and lose weight more quickly by using our guide to eating. We have spent many years researching and developing this diet in harmony with our on-site treatments, so you can see results fast.
