ELECTRICAL MUSCLE STIMULATION
Sculpt Your Dream Physique
Meet EMSculpt, an FDA-approved device that can help improve your body in unique ways!
​
EMSculpt goes beyond regular 30 minutes muscle workouts, giving your muscles a boost and helping to reduce fat, leading to stronger muscles and a more toned body.
EMS Muscle Building Treatments
Stronger & Shapelier Each Treatment!
The EmSculpt increases muscle strength and stamina.
​
The proper name is High Intensity Focused Electro-Magnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce supramaximal muscle contractions that can not be achieved through exercise (or voluntary contractions).
​
During normal voluntary muscle contractions, the muscle fibres relax between each nervous stimulus. (This also lifts the pelvic floor)
​
Our clients book a course from 4, 8 or 12 sessions. They are to be taken twice a week.
Once a client is feeling stronger they are more able to maintain muscle strength themselves.
​
We advise using the muscle builder after fat freezing or HIFU to ensure the body area is well sculpted. Excellent after child birth.
How Does Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) Therapy Work?
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is an advanced fat-burning and body-sculpting treatment designed to simulate the effects of an intense gym workout in just 30 minutes!
Our EMS machine is equipped with specific handles to enhance results, combining them with a series of different exercises and heating. This machine not only efficiently burns fat but also builds muscle, sculpting your body into the ideal shape and silhouette with long-lasting results.
​
EMS is non-invasive, has no downtime, and can yield noticeable results from your first 30-minute session—equivalent to 20,000 crunches at the gym. It contracts your muscles significantly more than a gym session in a single session and boosts fat metabolism.
​
EMS can be applied to most areas of the body, with popular regions including the abdomen, bum, saddlebags, arms, and for pelvic floor strengthening.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) - FAQs
EMS is a non-invasive, no pain, no downtime, FDA approved treatment to build and strengthen muscle and improve tone in the pelvic floor (we have the seat), abdomen, flanks, buttocks, legs and arms.
A 30-minute treatment is equivalent to 20,000 sit ups or squats. It is the only procedure to help you to build muscle and burn fat to sculpt your body.
​
This treatment can tone and tighten the abdomen and offers a bum lifting treatment too. It is an easy and comfortable way to exercise, increasing muscle mass in two sessions a week of 30 minutes. 30 minutes on the tummy means you’d have ripped through 20,000 sit ups.
How does EMSculpt work?
The non-invasive HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology induces supramaximal muscle contractions much stronger and faster than achievable through voluntary exercise. Four 30- minute treatments, performed at least 2 days apart, are recommended for best results, though more treatments can improve the area further. The vigorous contractions trigger a metabolic change in the overlying fat that leads to destruction of a percentage of the fat cells. Studies show an average of 16% increased muscle thickness and 19% decreased fat thickness in the abdomen. The studies also demonstrated over 10% reduction in the diastasis recti- the separation between the left and right abdomen muscles that is stretched by pregnancy. Fat loss is for those small areas of stubborn, subcutaneous (pinchable) fat.
Is this treatment different from going to the gym?
This technology contracts 100% of the muscle fibres (myofibrils) for up to 100% of the duration of the treatment time. During a workout at the gym, an amateur athlete would typically be able to voluntary contract a maximum of 35-40% of the muscle fibres (a professional athlete may be able to voluntary contract 55% of the muscle fibres). The end result is a much more targeted and intense work out that would be physically impossible to replicate in the gym yourself. We recommend this treatment to support your regular exercise routine as practicing mobility is important for strength.
Am I a good candidate for this body shaping treatment?
Absolutely! The EMS procedure is fantastic for anyone looking to tone up various parts of their body like the stomach, buttocks, arms, pelvic floor, and legs. It's like a workout without the sweat! Just remember, while you're enjoying these treatments, it's also important to keep up with a healthy diet. That way, you'll be giving your body the best chance to show off the amazing results of your EMS journey.
What happens during a treatment?
You sit or lay back and relax. Your therapists will talk to you about your goals and you will need to complete your consent forms. We will also take photographs of your body from ankles to shoulders so you can see your progress after your course. After that we place the four paddles on the body areas discussed. They are strapped to the areas you want to work on. If you are using the pelvic floor seat you will only be able to use another two paddles in that session. Then the settings for each paddle will be selected and you will start feeling the sensation of strong muscular contractions. The ‘tensing’ of the muscles can be held for seconds at a time, interspersed with a relaxing tapping sensation. Your therapist will check on you during the treatment to increase or lower the intensity and ensure you are comfortable. Once the treatment has finishe you’ll be able to return to your daily activities with no discomfort or downtime.
What does EMS feel like?
Electrical Muscle Stimulation is like giving your muscles a intensive workout. Imagine your muscles getting a real workout, with intense contractions happening every few minutes, all adding up to just 30 minutes. You might feel a slight prickling sensation and some warmth, kind of like your muscles are waking up. It's like a quick and effective gym session, but without breaking a sweat!
Will I be stiff and sore after a treatment?
During a workout at the gym: Different muscle groups are specifically targetted and the muscle fibres are damaged (muscle protein breakdown). Metabolic stress is also caused by a build-up of lactic acid and a drop in pH within the working muscles. Following the workout : A protein called mTOR stimulates muscle protein synthesis (healing), more filaments are added to each muscle fibre and the muscle mass increases (hypertrophy). In a traditional gym workout, muscle damage and lactic acid often cause delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) lasting several days. EMS technology not only delivers superior muscle hypertrophy it does it without DOMS. Discomfort post hiFEM procedure is limited to a slight tenderness in the treatment area.
Is there any downtime?
EMS is a super convenient option since it's non-invasive, meaning you don't need to worry about recovery time or any special pre/post treatment routines. There's absolutely no downtime involved, so you can fit it into your schedule seamlessly.
How long does an EMSCULPT treatment take?
Depending on the specific areas you're focusing on, a regular treatment session usually lasts around 30 minutes. To achieve the best results, it's typically recommended to go through a course of 4 to 8 sessions. After this initial course, some clients choose to book additional sessions for maintenance, but they only need to come in once a week.
Do I need to do anything before or after a treatment?
You don’t have to do anything in preparation for your EMS treatment and there is no downtime or side-effects. It’s a workout without the sweat. If you go to the gym, we only ask that you refrain from training the day before and the day after your treatments, so that your muscles can relax between treatments.
How soon will I see results?
Most clients say their muscles felt stronger after the first session With each treatment you will increase muscle mass and you will start to see changes in your body. Your body fat loss will be seen a bit after and will depend on your maintenance. Once you stop your sessions on our HiFEM we recommend a good exercise regimen and balanced diet to maintain results.
​Is Electrical Muscle Stimulation safe?
This fascinating approach to exercise has actually been around for approximately 12 years, originating with the introduction of HiFEM technology, with brands like Slendertone leading the way. However, fast forward to today, and it's evolved into something even more refined and potent. When you head in for your sessions, your skilled therapist will take care of everything. They'll tailor the sessions to your needs and ensure your safety by carefully tracking your progress and adjusting the levels as necessary.
How many treatments will I need?
Many patients will notice increased muscle tone after one treatment with EMS. However, a minimum of four sessions completed in two weeks should be taken to give you the best possible results. To achieve a tighter and more toned silhouette, EMS could be your new hero to obtain results that no gym class will achieve. We are finding that patients are seeing some amazing results with this innovative, dual-action treatment. If you are looking for a tighter, more defined behind, slimmer, firmer thighs and that dream set of abs, why not try EMS and see the difference, without sweating it out in the gym 7 days a week.
