High Intensity Focused Electro-Magnetic Technology (HIFEM)
what is HIFEM
HIFEM is an FDA-cleared body-sculpting treatment that builds muscle and burns fat. It delivers high-intensity focused electro-magnetic energy (HIFEM) pulses to the muscle tissue, creating maximal muscle contractions that activate more muscle fibers than what you can achieve through normal exercise at 30,000 pulses per 30 minutes.
A next-generation treatment that combines enhanced HIFEM technology with radio-frequency (RF) energy in the form of heat, to burn fat more effectively. Same technology as the leading muscle toning treatment on the market but at 1/4 of the cost.
How it works
HIFEM therapy creates steady electric impulses that stimulate muscle contractions. This repetitive contraction and relaxing of the muscle:
~ Increases circulation (blood flow) to the affected tissue area, which aids in repair.
~ Improves strength by flexing and working weakened muscles.
~ Slows the process of muscle atrophy by strengthening weakened or unused muscles.
~ Can improve core strength which in turn helps decrease lower back pain.
~ Recovers or re-trains muscles.
~ Strengthens post pregnancy abdominals.
Is HIFEM right for me?
HIFEM has been in wide use for decades. When administered by professionals, it is safe and painless and has very few, if any, side effects. Administered correctly, these techniques can make a difference in pain levels and can aid in muscle recovery, relaxation and rehabilitation. People with heart issues and pacemakers require a doctor's note for approval.
Is HIFEM permanent?
If you exercise regularly then stop, you can expect for things to go back to where they were. The maintenance of this treatment is also in your hands. Eating right, drinking water and exercising (doing those crunches and squats that strengthen those muscles) will help you maintain the results as long as you make it possible. We can also do maintenance treatments monthly or every few months, whatever suits your needs.
For optimum results, 6 to 8 treatments are highly recommended but no less than 4 treatments initially. These should take place at an interval of 2 sessions per week for 2 weeks. Results continue for up to 6 months.
