EMS Target Areas

On average, the following was achieved in clinical studies on healthy patients:

• 16% increase in muscle mass
• 19% reduction in fat
• 4 cm (1.5 inches) loss in waistline circumference
• 11% reduction in abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
• 5 x increase in fat metabolism (apoptotic index increased from 19% to 92% after treatment)
• 80% of patients with the visible lifting effect of buttocks

• Muscle building: EMS can help stimulate more intense muscle contractions than can be achieved through voluntary exercise alone. This can lead to increased muscle mass, improved muscle tone, and enhanced muscle definition in the targeted area.

• Fat reduction: EMS can help reduce fat in the treated area and build muscle. The intense muscle contractions triggered by the electromagnetic energy can increase metabolic activity, which may lead to fat loss over time.

• Non-invasive: EMS is a non-invasive procedure that does not require incisions or surgery. This can make it a more attractive option for individuals who want to improve their physique without surgery.

• Quick treatment sessions: EMS treatment sessions are typically short, lasting around 30 minutes. This makes it a convenient option for individuals with busy schedules who want to achieve muscle-building and fat-reduction goals.

• Minimal downtime: Unlike surgical procedures that may require significant downtime for recovery, EMS treatments typically have minimal to no downtime. Patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.

• Customizable treatment areas: EMS can be used to target specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and thighs. This allows for a customized treatment plan tailored to the individual's goals and needs.

• Complementary to exercise: EMS can be a useful complement to a regular exercise routine. It can help individuals achieve more defined muscles and enhanced muscle tone in conjunction with their existing workout regimen.

EMS can be a beneficial treatment option for individuals looking to enhance their physique by building muscle, reducing fat, and improving muscle tone in specific areas of the body.

Frequently Asked Questions about EMS (Electromagnetic Stimulation):

What does EMS feel like? Is it painful?

EMS treatments should not cause pain. Instead, they result in powerful muscle contractions that thinner individuals might feel more intensely. The intensity, however, can be adjusted for comfort. Many patients report an instinctive reaction to smile or laugh during the first few minutes as their bodies adapt to the sensation, which is generally well-tolerated. Post-treatment soreness does not correlate with the efficacy of the treatment.

Is there downtime after EMS treatments?

There is no downtime following EMS treatments, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. Patients can typically resume their normal activities immediately after their session.

How many EMS treatments are necessary?

Our clinic recommends a series of 4-8 sessions, ideally two sessions per week, each lasting 30 minutes. Regularity is crucial, as these treatments aim to develop and strengthen muscles. The effectiveness increases with the number of sessions, akin to a regular workout routine. For sustained results, maintenance sessions every 3-6 months are recommended. We also offer a year-long package and membership programs for ongoing benefits, which we encourage you to explore further with our team.

When will I see results from EMS?

Some patients may notice increased muscle tone as early as the next day post-treatment. Studies have shown a significant increase in muscle mass and fat reduction three months after completing a series of treatments. Results vary by individual and are enhanced by maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine.

How long do EMS results last?

EMS can create muscle gains that last six months or longer. However, muscle mass will naturally diminish over time if not maintained through regular exercise and possibly follow-up EMS sessions.

Who is an ideal candidate for EMS treatments?

The ideal EMS candidate is an adult in good physical condition seeking additional muscle definition in the abdomen or a lift in the buttocks. These individuals typically exercise regularly but may not have achieved their desired muscle tone or lift through workouts alone.

Who might not be a good candidate for EMS? Are there contraindications?

EMS may be less effective for those with thicker layers of fat, as the HIFEM energy is most efficient up to 2.76 inches (7 cm) deep. Pregnant and nursing individuals, as well as women close to their menstrual cycle who may experience more intense cramps, should avoid EMS treatments. Contraindications include but are not limited to:

• Metal or electronic implants in the treatment area (such as copper IUD)
• Cardiac pacemakers
• Implanted defibrillators or neurostimulators
• Drug pumps
• Presence of a malignant tumor
• Hemorrhagic conditions
• Epilepsy
• Recent surgical procedures

To ensure the safety and effectiveness of EMS treatments, it is essential to consult with our specialist to evaluate your individual suitability.
