What Technology Is Em-contouring?

Em-contouring is the first FDA-approved muscle-building and fat-reducing device that uses high-intensity focused magnetic resonance (HIFEM) technology. HIFEM uses a powerful but harmless form of electromagnetic stimulation to contract the muscles in a targeted area. These magnetic fields create electrical electrical currents, which are passed to the muscles. When these magnetic pulses are fast enough, they force the muscles to contract, much like they do during times of strenuous exercise.

How Does It Work?

HIFEM technology that is capable of stimulating supramaximal muscles. During treatment, the muscles contract to a super-maximal level, which forces them to adapt to such extreme conditions. Intense supramaximal contractions increase the release of adrenaline, which causes a cascade effect leading to supramaximal lipolysis in fat cells. Because the stimulation is so fast and intense, the lipolytic response is excessive and FFAs begin to accumulate excessively in the dipocytes. FFA overflow causes cell dysfunction and induction of apoptosis-programmed cell death. Dead cells are destroyed and washed away naturally. Meanwhile, the muscle responds by deep remodeling of its internal structure, causing the growth of myofibrils (muscle hypertrophy), the creation of new protein chains, and the growth of muscle fibers (muscle hyperplasia).

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Abdomen: Create a proud vest line.

Buttons: Improve the problem of different buttons.

Legs: Slim legs and beautiful legs, tighten muscles.

Arm: Beautify muscle lines, tighten arm muscles, and strengthen arm muscle mass.

How Many Treatments Will I Need? Will I Be Sore?

The Em-contouring procedure consists of at least 4 treatments, depending on the desired result. Treatments are given 2 to 3 days apart and can be done weekly initially. You will see visible results in about 4 treatments. We recommend making a plan with your doctor to maintain your results.

No discomfort after Em-contouring treatment. You may feel the effect during the treatment, but this just lets you know it's working. There is a rest period between muscle contractions to flush lactic acid out of the treated area. The accumulation of lactic acid is what causes soreness. This is normal and symptoms will disappear soon.

What To Expect During a Treatment?

The handle is fixed in the treatment area, and the electromagnetic induction gradually enters the body, and feel strange—like super-intense vibrations that reach your very core. This experience felt slightly uncomfortable during my first treatment but got better and easier with each additional appointment. Your feet will lift up with every contraction, which helped me feel like the treatment was definitely working. After a few contractions, the machine will switch over to a tapping motion to help break up the lactic acid that’s being released by your muscles.

Are Results Permanent?

Em-contouring burns fat and builds muscle. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they are gone for good. You’ll want to maintain a healthy diet and good exercise habits. If you stop strength training you can lose muscle – the same principle applies for Em-contouring. You will want to either beef up your gym workout to maintain results or schedule periodic Em-contouring treatments. 

Candidates for Em-contouring

1.You’re Seeking a Non-Invasive Butt Lift

One sign that this  non-invasive treatment is right for you is that you are looking for a non-surgical butt lift. With this non-invasive treatment, your muscles will be contracted at peak power 20,000 times in just a 30-minute session.

To get the same effect without treatment, you would have to do 20,000 squats. To put that into perspective, the average female between the ages of 26 and 35 can do between 19 and 29 squats in a minute. Assuming you can do 24 squats per minute, you would have to do 1,000 squats a day for 20 days and it would take you a total of 13 hours and 48 minutes.

2.You Want to Tone Your abdomen,increase abdominal muscles.

The most exciting thing about this treatment for abdominal toning is its dual function. You could do 100,000 situps or crunches and never see your lower abs. This is because there are deposits of excess fat covering your tight, toned abs. With this treatment, you can expect to lose 19% of localized fat cells which is enough of a loss to reveal your strong, sleek, svelte muscles if you are around your ideal weight.

3.You Aren’t Pregnant or Nursing

Unfortunately, there is not currently a body contouring treatment or procedure for use on a woman who is pregnant or nursing. If you are pregnant or nursing, you must wait until after you have stopped breastfeeding to consider this treatment. If you’re not sure if you’re pregnant, see an OBGYN or take an at-home pregnancy test to ensure that you are not pregnant before you consider this treatment.
