The technology around fitness and wellbeing is constantly evolving, and you can now try non-invasive body contouring that boosts muscle growth with EMsculpt in Johannesburg.
EM (Electro Muscle Stimulation) is a new way to workout without having to spend hours in the gym. It works by sending low-frequency electric impulses to contract your muscles throughout the procedure. You can now try the treatment at SCINmed boutique wellness studio at Hyde Park or in Cape Town. Here’s what you need to know.
More about EMsculpt in Johannesburg
Imagine reaping the rewards of 20,000 sit-ups in just 30 minutes without breaking a sweat. EMsculpt is suitable for most people, but the most ideal candidates are those who are in good shape but need a solution to get rid of stubborn fat around the abs, bum area and legs.
Patients with large amounts of visceral fat might have to consider other procedures, but a professional consultation with our aesthetic therapist will provide clear direction and a suggested course of treatment or procedures.
The EMsculpt treatment features a high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology that effectively triggers and targets the treated area to simulate rapid muscle contractions.
Not only does the non-invasive procedure tone and strengthen muscles in ways normal exercise can’t, but it also lifts the skin and reduces cellulite by targeting fat cells. These cells are broken down before allowing transportation and elimination by your body in a natural way.
What to expect at your treatment session? A gentle pulling sensation will be experienced around your muscles which might feel quite strange and unfamiliar. However there should be no discomfort and pain, and your therapist can control the intensity level to suit you.
Need to know before you go
A treatment session runs for 30 minutes per area. For better results, a course of 4-6 sessions is usually recommended but depends on each patient’s needs and requirements.
Most patients say the experience feels like they had an intense workout. Expect a mild feeling of muscle soreness afterwards, but the supramaximal contractions are quite effective in flushing lactic acid from the system which helps to reduce the stiff and sore feeling.
Tangible results can be felt almost immediately after the first treatment, but the real magic will only be visible between 6-8 months after your last or final session. The effect of muscle strength tends to last longer and patients who follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly have reported lasting effects of up to a year.
