Avantir Wellness proudly introduces StarFormer® by Fotona to Singapore for the very first time!
StarFormer® is an innovative high-intensity Tesla magnetic stimulation (HITS™) device that strengthens muscles through powerful, comfortable contractions.
We are the pioneer in Singapore to offer this advanced pulsed magnetic muscle stimulation device, supporting core, back and pelvic floor strengthening in a non-invasive and comfortable manner.
With StarFormer® technology, we focus on strengthening the muscles you rely on every day, in particular the abdomen and core, the back, and the pelvic floor.
StarFormer® also helps address male and female urine leakage and supports bladder control by stimulating the pelvic floor muscles.
StarFormer uses magnetic stimulation technology to target muscle tissues selectively. Magnetic pulses penetrate the muscle layers and prompt them to contract, which helps build muscle strength.
The system offers two therapy options:
Strengthening of the core, abdominal and back muscles
Strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles to address urine leakage and support bladder control.
TightWave™ supports the strengthening of major muscle groups, including:
The session is performed with the patient lying down, fully clothed. One session generally lasts between 20 and 30 minutes, with patients resuming their daily activities immediately after.
In each 30-minute StarFormer® session, the targeted muscles undergo approximately 50,000 contractions.
StarFormer® IntimaWave™therapy can stimulate pelvic floor muscles and back, utilising two applicators to treat all types of male or female urine leakage and bladder control issues. The patient remains fully clothed during the session and sits on a comfortable IntimaWave™ chair.
The magnetic applicators in the chair stimulate muscle contraction in the entire pelvic floor area, increasing the strength and endurance of the pelvic floor. The result is effective and long-term relief of uncontrolled urine flow.

Please note that this information serves as a general guide, and it is crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before considering Starformer® Therapy, especially if you have specific medical conditions or concerns. Always prioritise your health and well-being when making healthcare decisions.
No, StarFormer® does not cause pain or discomfort. It can be best described as the feeling of muscle contractions or flexing.
The timeframe for experiencing results can differ from one patient to another, depending on the specific condition being treated. While some individuals may notice improvements as early as their 3rd or 4th session, it’s important to note that the precise expectation will be discussed and tailored to your unique situation during your consultation.
We recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle and discussing yearly maintenance with your consultant.
StarFormer by Fotona is a non-invasive device that uses high-intensity magnetic stimulation to prompt muscles to contract. At Avantir it is used in two ways: TightWave for strengthening the core, abdominal and back muscles, and IntimaWave for strengthening the pelvic floor. You stay fully clothed throughout, and it is offered as part of a wellness and muscle-strengthening routine.
Magnetic pulses pass comfortably into the muscle and prompt it to contract far more than usual, around 50,000 contractions in a 30-minute session. You may feel a tapping or tingling sensation as the muscles work, rather than anything painful. Sessions are non-invasive with no downtime, so most people return to their day straight afterwards. Your coach sets the intensity to keep it comfortable.
StarFormer's IntimaWave mode is designed to stimulate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles that support bladder control. You sit, fully clothed, on a chair that delivers the magnetic stimulation across the pelvic floor. Many women consider it for support with leakage or weakened muscles, often after childbirth or around menopause. Responses vary, so a professional assessment helps match the approach to your situation.
Many women look to StarFormer for pelvic floor and core support as part of postpartum recovery, once they have been cleared to start. Because it is non-invasive and you stay clothed, it tends to fit easily around a busy schedule. If you are postnatal, recovering from surgery or have any concerns, it is sensible to check with your doctor first and share your history with your Avantir coach.
This varies from person to person and depends on your goals, so there is no fixed number. Sessions are short, around 20 to 30 minutes, with no downtime, and many people build a course over several weeks since muscle strength develops gradually with consistency. Your Avantir coach can outline a suitable plan after an assessment and adjust it based on how you respond.
StarFormer is non-invasive and you remain fully clothed, so it is comfortable for most people. It is not suitable for everyone: those who are pregnant, or who have a pacemaker, metal or other electronic implants, should not use it, and anyone with a medical condition should check with their doctor first. Always share your health history with your coach beforehand.
