HIEMT - High Intensity Electromagnetic Muscle Therapy (Durban Only)

What is HIEMT?

High-Intensity Electromagnetic Muscle Therapy (HIEMT) is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses high-intensity electromagnetic technology to stimulate muscle contractions. The device sends high-frequency electromagnetic waves to targeted areas of the body, causing the muscles to contract involuntarily. This can result in increased muscle tone and mass, as well as a reduction in fat in the treated area.

HIEMT is a treatment of the major muscle groups such as the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and arms. It is a popular treatment for those looking to enhance their body shape and improve their overall muscle tone without spending hours at the gym. The treatment is generally painless and requires no downtime, allowing clients to return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment.

How does HIEMT work?

HIEMT works by using high-intensity focused electromagnetic to stimulate powerful muscle contractions in targeted areas of the body. The device sends electromagnetic waves through the skin to the muscles, causing the muscles to contract involuntarily in a way that cannot be achieved through voluntary muscle contractions or exercise.

These contractions create what is known as “supramaximal contractions,” which are much stronger than what can be achieved through traditional exercise. These contractions can cause muscle tissue to remodel and grow, resulting in increased muscle mass and tone. Additionally, the supramaximal contractions caused by HIEMT can also help to break down fat cells in the targeted area, leading to a reduction in body fat.

HIEMT treatments are usually delivered in a series of sessions over several weeks, with each session lasting about 30 minutes. The treatment is non-invasive, generally painless, and requires no downtime, making it a popular option for those looking to improve their body shape and muscle tone effortlessly.

What are the benefits of HIEMT?

HIEMT can offer several benefits for those looking to improve their body shape and muscle tone, including:

• Increased muscle mass: HIEMT uses high-intensity electromagnetic waves to stimulate powerful muscle contractions which can result in increased muscle mass and tone.
• Fat reduction: HIEMT’s powerful muscle contractions can also help break down fat cells in the treated area, leading to a reduction in body fat.
• Non-invasive: HIEMT is a non-invasive treatment, which means there are no incisions, injections or anesthesia required.
• Painless: Most clients find HIEMT to be a painless treatment, with no need for pain medication during or after the treatment.
• No downtime: There is no downtime required after an HIEMT treatment, so clients can return to their normal activities immediately.
• Quick treatment time: Each HIEMT session typically lasts only 30 minutes, making it a quick and convenient option for those with busy schedules.
• Effective results: Many clients report seeing significant improvements in muscle tone and body shape after just a few HIEMT treatments.

Overall, HIEMT is reported as being an effective and convenient way to enhance muscle tone and reduce body fat in targeted areas of the body, without the need for invasive surgery or lengthy recovery times.

How many HIEMT treatments are needed?

The number of HIEMT treatments needed can vary depending on the individual and the treatment area. Generally, a series of six treatments over a period of three weeks is recommended to start and then assess progress. Each treatment session lasts around 30 minutes. Therefore, the number of treatments may vary based on the client’s individual goals and the target area being treated. Some clients may see visible results after a single session, while others may require additional sessions to achieve their desired results.

It’s important to note that while HIEMT can enhance muscle tone and reduce body fat, it is not a weight loss procedure. For best results, clients should maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise routine in addition to HIEMT treatments.

Are there any side effects or risks associated with HIEMT?

HIEMT is a safe and effective treatment with a low risk of side effects. The most commonly reported side effect is mild soreness or stiffness in the treated area, similar to the soreness that can occur after an intense workout. This soreness usually resolves within a few days.

It’s important to note that HIEMT is not recommended for clients with certain medical conditions or who have certain types of implants, such as metal implants or pacemakers. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also avoid HIEMT.

How soon will I see results from HIEMT?

Many clients report seeing results from HIEMT soon after their first treatment session. However, the most clients report that results from the treatment typically become more noticeable over time and multiple treatments. Most clients report seeing visible improvement in muscle tone and reduction in body fat in the treated area within a few weeks of starting treatment. However, the rate of improvement can vary based on individual factors, such as the starting muscle mass and the intensity of the treatment.

For best results, it’s important to complete the full course of treatments. This typically involves a series of four treatments over a period of two weeks, with additional maintenance treatments recommended to maintain the results over time.

It’s important to note that while HIEMT can enhance muscle tone and reduce body fat, it is not a weight loss procedure. For best results, clients should maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise routine in addition to HIEMT treatments.

How does HIEMT compare to other body contouring treatments?

HIEMT is a unique body contouring treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology to stimulate muscle contractions, which can build and tone muscles in targeted areas of the body. It is a non-invasive treatment that requires no incisions or anesthesia, and it has become increasingly popular as an alternative to invasive procedures like liposuction and tummy tucks.

Compared to other body contouring treatments, HIEMT has some distinct advantages. For example:

• Non-invasive: HIEMT is a non-invasive treatment, which means that it does not require incisions or anesthesia, and there is no recovery time needed.
• Builds muscle and burns fat: HIEMT can help to build and tone muscles, but it can also help to reduce stubborn fat in targeted areas.
• No downtime: Since HIEMT is a non-invasive treatment, there is no downtime required after the procedure, which means that clients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.
• Safe and effective: HIEMT has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and effective for body contouring.

However, it’s important to note that HIEMT may not be the best choice for everyone. For example, people who have a significant amount of excess fat in the treatment area may not see the desired results with HIEMT alone, and may need to consider other body contouring options such as fat cavitation or fat freezing as well.
