What is EMS Body Contouring or Sculpting?
Shape and sculpt your body with our EMS Body Contouring treatment, a non-surgical revolution in muscle toning and fat burning.
Whether you’re looking to achieve a six-pack, enhance your buttocks, or strengthen your arms and legs, our revolutionary EMS procedures can help you hit your goals quickly and safely. During 30-minute sessions, electromagnetic energy is targeted at specific muscles, forcing them to contract. This not only triggers muscle growth, but also eliminates fat.
In just one EMS session, your body can perform the equivalent of 20,000 sit-ups and squats – all while lying down and with no recovery period. Clinical trials have shown that FAT is REDUCED by 18 to 19% and MUSCLE MASS is INCREASED by 16%. This treatment is also ideal for regaining your strength and fitness while recovering from a sports injury or illness, or helping you get back into shape.
EMS Body Contouring (also known as EMS Body Sculpting) is completely non-invasive and can be used by both men and women in the following areas:
- Abdomen (Abs)
- Buttocks
- Shoulders and Arms
- Thighs
- Hamstring
The treatment can also be combined with other non-invasive body contouring procedures for tackling larger areas of stubborn fat like WarmSculpting with SculpSure. Book your consultation today and discover how you can achieve the body you desire.
How does EMS Body Contouring work?
Our advanced EMS Body Contouring machine uses high intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to tone muscle and burn fat. During procedures, patients are asked to lie down while one/two panels are attached to the treated areas with a special band.
The EMS machine produces pulses of electromagnetic energy that is delivered through the skin. This works on two levels. Firstly, the energy causes 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions during a single 30-minute session. As a result, your muscles are worked out to an extent and intensity that is not possible at the gym or during regular exercise. Such stimulation causes your muscles to gradually build in volume and density. In addition, your strength is also improved.
Secondly, EMS Body Contouring also triggers a fat-destroying process known as lipolysis. Fat cells react to the pulses of HIFEM energy, causing them to die. This is very effective for toning specific areas, such as the abdominals and buttocks. This is the only non-invasive technology capable of burning fat and building muscle simultaneously.
Who is suitable for EMS Body Contouring?
EMS Body Contouring is a toning/sculpting procedure and is suitable for men and women, of most adult ages, with no more than one inch of body fat around their abdomen (or different, depending on the area being treated). In cases of more stubborn fat, we may recommend one of our other body sculpting procedures first, such as WarmSculpting with SculpSure , in order to eliminate excess fat before toning with our EMS procedures. Your suitability and goals will be discussed with you during your initial comprehensive consultation. In addition, a treatment plan will be created especially for you and will be constantly reviewed during each session.
Note that EMS Body Contouring is also ideal if you are:
- Recovering from a sports injury or illness
- Looking to restore fitness caused by lack of exercise
- Looking to bulk up your buttocks and achieve a non-surgical BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)
How long does the treatment take to work?
Your body will react during your EMS Body Contouring treatment and you may notice some improvements one day after a session. However, results will continue to improve over the following weeks as muscle mass develops and fat cells eliminate through lymphatic system.
To achieve the full effect of breaking down fat and increasing muscle mass, you will need at least 4 EMS treatments. You will likely see the full results two to four weeks after you have completed your course. At this point, fat in the targeted area can be reduced by 19% and muscle mass increased by 16%.
What is the downtime of EMS Body Contouring?
Besides feeling the effects of a workout and some muscle tiredness, there is no downtime. EMS Body Contouring treatments are entirely non-invasive.
Does EMS Body Contouring hurt?
There is no pain, no needles and no anaesthetic. However, after each session, you may feel similar to how you would following an intense workout. This of course, may be regarded as a feeling of satisfaction!
How many sessions of EMS Body Contouring are needed?
The number of EMS treatments needed varies, but multiple sessions, often ranging from 4 to 8 sessions, are typically recommended to achieve optimal results; consult with our specialist for personalized advice based on your goals. However, this may differ depending on your own individual needs and goals. This will be discussed with you during your consultation. As always, our trained and fully licensed staff will help you create a treatment plan tailored towards your own needs and goals.
Note that your body continues to reap the benefits of the treatment in the ensuing weeks as your muscle continues to respond and build. On average, most people achieve their final outcome around four weeks after their last session.
It may be recommended that you repeat our EMS Body Contouring courses every two to three months in order to maintain optimal results.
How long do EMS Body Contouring sessions last?
Each EMS Body Contouring session takes 30 minutes. Our machine has programmed for up to four “workouts”. That means your targeted muscles will reap the benefits of what are effectively four different types of exercise.
Each EMS Body Contouring session performs the following:
- Stretching
- Warm-up
- Up to 4 x different workouts
- Cooldown
