Brief Answer:
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) should help

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

To be able to answer your query properly the first detail that I would require is your weight and height. The safest option to shrink your middle portion would be to go for Electrical Muscle Stimulation Therapy or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) that is available at many slimming centres and I would recommend it. Of course this has to be backed with proper diet and exercise.

Let me know if I could help further.

Brief Answer:
It is effective

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. TENS is effective. By electrically stimulating the muscles, they are made to work just like in normal exercise. This leads to loosening of the surrounding fat and thereby its reduction. A disciplined approach can help you attain your target.
