EMS
-
EMS is suitable for a wide range of individuals looking to enhance their muscle, strength, fat loss and overall toning. This treatment is particularly beneficial for:
Fitness Enthusiasts: Those who are dedicated to achieving optimal muscle definition and strength through advanced training methods.
Busy Professionals: Individuals with demanding schedules who struggle to find time for lengthy workout sessions but still desire effective muscle stimulation, toning & fat loss.
Aesthetic Seekers: Individuals interested in sculpting and contouring their bodies to achieve a more toned and defined appearance without invasive procedures.
-
The number of sessions needed for this treatment varies. Typically, people see results after 4 to 8 sessions, spaced out over a few weeks. Optimal results can be seen at 12 weeks following your first treatment. Enhanced results can be see when combined with Fat Cavitation. Following your consultation we will create a plan tailored to your goals. After the initial sessions, occasional maintenance sessions may be suggested to maintain results.

EMS and fat cavitation are two distinct procedures that target different aspects of body shaping and contouring.
When combined, EMS treatment and fat cavitation can complement each other to provide comprehensive body shaping and contouring results. While EMS treatment focuses on muscle strengthening and toning, fat cavitation targets fat reduction. Together, they can help achieve a more sculpted and toned appearance by simultaneously addressing muscle definition and fat loss in targeted areas.
t's crucial to consult with us to determine the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. We can assess your candidacy for these treatments and provide personalised recommendations to help you achieve your desired results safely and effectively.

During treatment, you may experience sensations such as
Muscle contractions, tingling, or mild discomfort: The electrical impulses generated cause your muscles to contract, similar to what you might feel during an intense workout. These contractions can vary in intensity but are generally not painful.
Deep tissue sensations: As the electromagnetic energy targets your muscles. Some individuals describe these sensations as strange or unusual but not typically painful.
Overall, the treatment is generally well-tolerated by most individuals, and any discomfort experienced is often temporary and subsides once the session is complete. It's essential to communicate during the treatment session to ensure your comfort level is maintained, and adjustments can be made if needed.

Several factors may prevent someone from undergoing treatment, these include:
Pregnancy: Treatment is not recommended for pregnant individuals due to potential risks.
Tattoo in treatment area: Some individuals may experience increased sensitivity or discomfort when treatment is applied over tattooed skin, particularly if the tattooed area is already sensitive or irritated. Certain tattoo colours and types of ink may conduct or absorb electrical impulses differently, potentially affecting the performance of the treatment. Darker colours and metallic inks may be more prone to interference. Larger tattoos or those covering a significant portion of the treatment area may affect the distribution of the electromagnetic energy or hinder proper electrode placement, potentially impacting the effectiveness of the treatment.
Metal Implants: People with metal implants, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, or other implanted medical devices, may not be suitable candidates for treatment due to the electromagnetic fields generated by the device. These fields could potentially interfere with the function of the implants or cause discomfort.
Active Cancer: Individuals with active cancer in the treatment area may not be candidates due to the potential risk of stimulating growth or causing discomfort.
Severe Medical Conditions: People with severe medical conditions, such as uncontrolled epilepsy, severe heart conditions, or acute inflammatory conditions, may not be suitable candidates for treatment.
Skin Conditions or Injuries: Individuals with open wounds, severe skin conditions, or recent injuries in the treatment area may need to postpone treatment until the skin has healed to avoid discomfort or potential complications.
History of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or Blood Clots: Treatment may not be suitable for individuals with a history of DVT or blood clotting disorders, as the treatment may increase the risk of clot formation or dislodging existing clots.
It's essential to discuss any medical conditions, concerns, or medications with your healthcare provider before undergoing treatment to ensure that it is safe and appropriate for you. They can provide personalised guidance and recommendations based on your individual circumstances.

Before and after care for treatment can help maximise the effectiveness of the treatment and minimize any potential discomfort or side effects. Here are some general guidelines:
Before Treatment:
Consultation: Discuss your medical history, any current health conditions, and expectations with us to ensure treatment is suitable for you.
Hydration: Stay well-hydrated before your treatment session, as proper hydration can help improve muscle performance and reduce the risk of muscle cramps or discomfort.
Clothing: Wear comfortable clothing to your treatment session, ideally allowing easy access to the areas targeted for treatment. Avoid clothing with metal elements that may interfere with the electromagnetic fields generated by the device.
Skin Preparation: Ensure the treatment area is clean and free of lotions, oils, or creams before the session, as these substances can interfere with electrode adhesion and the effectiveness of the treatment.
After Treatment:
Hydration: Drink plenty of water after your treatment session to help flush out toxins released from the muscles and to support muscle recovery.
Gentle Activity: Engage in light physical activity, such as walking or stretching, to promote blood flow and muscle recovery without overexertion.
Avoid Intense Workouts: Refrain from strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least 24 to 48 hours after your treatment session to allow your muscles to recover fully.
Skin Care: If you experience any redness, irritation, or discomfort in the treatment area after the session, apply a soothing moisturiser or cooling gel as needed. Avoid hot showers, saunas, or exposure to direct sunlight immediately after treatment.
Follow-Up: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments recommended by your healthcare provider or fitness professional to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
