Writing Compliant Product Claims for EMS Beauty Devices
Muscle stimulation sits close to a therapeutic claim, and the gap between toning and treating is the entire compliance argument. Describing an EMS device without crossing it.
EMS device claims are difficult because the mechanism is genuinely physiological. The current really does cause a contraction, so saying so is honest. The problem arrives in the next sentence, where honest description slides into therapeutic promise.
Supportable wording describes the sensation and the cosmetic intention: stimulates muscle contraction, supports a toning routine, used as part of a body care programme. Each of those states what the device does without claiming a clinical outcome.
Language to avoid includes anything therapeutic or structural: treats muscle weakness, repairs tissue, burns fat, medical grade. Fat reduction in particular is a regulated claim in most markets and cannot be supported by a home stimulation device.
Two structural rules prevent most problems. Keep the warning page and the marketing copy consistent, because a contradiction between them is a finding on its own. And localise carefully, since the same sentence can be ordinary in one language and a regulated medical claim in another.
