How does EMSculpt work ?

Muscles stimulated by high-intensity electromagnetic waves contract 20,000 times during the session (which lasts about thirty minutes). This intense activity causes a restructuring of the muscle tissue. An increase in muscle mass and a reduction in fat cells are observed. Clinical studies published by PUBMED show a 20% increase in muscle and a 30% fat reduction two months after treatment (results vary depending on the patient).

EMSculpt protocol

To achieve optimal and lasting results, a well-defined protocol has been established.
Un cycle de quatre séances, espacées de deux à trois jours, est recommandé. Cette fréquence laisse aux muscles le temps de récupérer entre les séances et assure une stimulation régulière, ce qui optimise le développement musculaire et favorise la diminution des dépôts graisseux.
Des séances d’entretien tous les trois à six mois, en fonction des besoins individuels et des objectifs esthétiques du patient, complètent le protocole.

The patient is comfortably seated on the examination couch.
Aucune préparation particulière n’est nécessaire. Il n’a pas besoin de se déshabiller entièrement.
The applicator is placed on the area to be treated.
The applicators emit high-intensity focused electromagnetic waves that penetrate deep into the body to stimulate muscle contractions.
Ces contractions sont beaucoup plus intenses que celles qu’il est possible obtenir par un exercice volontaire, ce qui déclenche des processus métaboliques qui favorisent la croissance musculaire et la destruction des cellules graisseuses.

The intensity of the contractions is selected according to the indication and the patient's tolerance.
