Emsculpt for Muscle Building and Fat Burning
With Emsculpt, we use a breakthrough device, offering non-invasive body contouring which eliminates fat and builds muscle. This device has been making massive waves in the States and globally over the last few months and is now available in South Africa. In a 30 minute session, our treatment induces a whopping 20,000 muscle contractions in the area of treatment, the equivalent of doing the same number of crunches or squats.
The Emsculpt treatment is performed in our practice by a trained therapist. Current non-invasive body shaping therapies address fat and skin. But what happens when one has less than an inch of pinchable fat or wants to improve the tone and shape of one’s stomach or buttocks? After all, more than a third of one’s body is composed of muscles.
What Does The Emsculpt Treatment Include?
Our Emsculpt muscle building treatment is the ONLY procedure to help both women and men build muscle and burn fat.
In addition, we have created the world’s FIRST non-invasive buttock lifting device. Using the new high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy, the device delivers electromagnetic pulses to the muscles and creates supramaximal muscle contractions, activating more muscle fibers than any exercise, and also stimulates the body to create new muscle fibers which is not possible to achieve through normal exercise.
Nearly 20,000 muscle contractions…
…are produced in one 30-minute session. Contracting repeatedly without rest stresses the muscles, triggers rapid changes at the cellular level that make the muscles grow bigger and stronger. The high supply of energy produced by the many muscle contractions, neighbouring fat cells break down and release fatty acids. Fat cells are damaged to the point where they die, and the body naturally eliminates them. The result of the combined action of muscle tightening and fat-cell destruction, is stronger, more defined muscles.
The Technology
The Emsculpt device helps build muscle and reduce fat using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology. It works by triggering extremely powerful muscle contractions (nearly 20 000 contractions in one 30-minute session), much stronger than you can achieve on your own through exercise. These contractions, called supramaximal contractions, are key to the machine’s ability to tone muscles and reduce fat simultaneously.
Define Abs
We are able to induce ‘supramaximal’ contractions that put your muscles into full use. During a typical workout, your muscles can only reach approximately 40% of their maximum capacity, whereas our device allows them to reach 100% capacity.
Strengthening your core muscles can in turn strengthen the lower back and pelvic muscles. One 30 minute session is equivalent to nearly 20,000 perfect sit-ups.
Sculpt Arms
The electromagnetic pulses encourage your body to build muscle in areas that typically won’t respond to regular exercise such as the biceps and triceps.
When your arm is exposed to the targeted pulses, it will react through small contractions that ripple throughout your arm. It actually lets you grow your own muscle and gives a natural muscle tone. The device is now FDA-approved for building muscle in the arms as well as the buttocks and abs.
Tone Legs
Whenever we work out, we are damaging our muscles and wearing them down. As our body recovers, it reverses that damage, rebuilding and repairing our muscle tissues. When it does, it rebuilds them stronger and firmer than before in an effort to protect them from further damage.
The supramaximal contractions provided by this treatment essentially provide a supercharged version of this process, which rebuilds he inner structure of the targeted muscles.
