Electro Muscle Stimulation is also known as Electrical Muscle Stimulation; Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) or electromyostimulation.  EMS is a type of therapy that uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions using the electrical impulses to directly stimulate motor neurons. It is often used as a form of physical therapy, as well as in sports training and fitness. EMS is believed to help improve muscle strength, reduce pain, and speed up recovery from injuries.

The EMS device allows the speed and strength of the stimulation to be varied every minute, following a specific program, dependent on pre-set objectives. 

The computer-controlled circuits have been programmed to give the very best results automatically. For optimum results your EMS program should be used in conjunction with a sensible diet, moderate exercise, and reduction of alcoholic beverages.

Body Sculpting refers to a variety of non-invasive cosmetic procedures that aims to contour and shape the body. These can include treatments such as liposuction, laser fat reduction, EMS Sculpting, Laser and RF Sculpting and CoolSculpting. The goal is to improve the appearance of specific areas of the body by reducing stubborn fat or tightening loose skin.

EMS Body Sculpt is an innovative body sculpting treatment that builds muscle and burns fat using Electrical Muscle Simulation technology. EMS is a popular, non-invasive body treatment for figure control, cellulite reduction and a firm shapely body. EMS works to refine and tone muscles throughout most of the body, enhancing muscle strength and endurance while aiding in the breakdown of fat.  

EMS works by sending electrical signals through conductive electrode pads to different areas of the body, stimulating the muscles. The stimulations cause muscle contractions that simulate natural muscle movements. The contractions encourage the body to grow new muscle fibers and protein strains, which simultaneously decreases unwanted fat cells.

EMS acts on soft tissues, such as fat cells and connective tissue. It can help to reduce the appearance of cellulitis by improving circulation, eliminating toxins, toning muscles, and stimulating the production of collagen and blood flow in the skin.

EMS Body Sculpting treatments can be used on most muscles in the body such as the abdominals, quadriceps, gluteal muscles, biceps, triceps and pectorals. Depending on the mode chosen, Electone will work to decongest the tissue, tone and shape or give more definition to the targeted muscles. Depending on the goals set, a course of 6 to 24 treatments is usually required, ideally two treatments per week. A session lasts only 30 (per treated area) minutes and does not cause excessive sweating, which means you can resume your activities immediately.

The EMS Body Sculpt treatment is completely non-invasive and can be used by both women and men in the following areas:

· Abdominals

· Quadriceps

· Hamstrings

· Gluteal Muscles (aka: the Buttocks)

· Arms

· Calves

The EMS device allows the speed and strength of the stimulation to be varied every minute, following a specific program, dependent on pre-set objectives. 

The computer-controlled circuits have been programmed to give the very best results automatically. For optimum results your EMS program should be used in conjunction with a sensible diet, moderate exercise, and reduction of alcoholic beverages.
 

EMS can help tone the abdomen, waist, tummy, love handles, bust, thighs, arms and more. The machine will exercise and strengthen muscles. 

Each treatment is the equivalent of around 600 sit-ups, 600 push ups and 600 leg lifts.

Depending on the objectives, the EMS Body Sculpting device can be programmed in 4 distinct treatment modes:

1. CIRCULATE: Helps to stimulate and improves overall blood flow and circulation throughout the body. This helps to reduce muscle pain, improve overall blood flow, and reduce inflammation. This mode is often used during the first treatment (s), usually in the abdominal area. Many patients notice a pleasant feeling of lightness after the first session.

2.  DRAIN: Helps to reduce tissue congestion and water retention. This mode is often used during the first treatment (s), usually in the abdominal area. Many patients notice a pleasant feeling of lightness after the first session. Expect a boost in Lymphatic drainage and circulation, resulting in broken down fat deposits, reduction in excess fluids, and an elimination of toxins.

3.  TONE: To tone the muscles and firm the skin. This mode allows you to obtain the results of several hours of training in a single session by creating the necessary reaction in the muscle to obtain a lifting or bulging effect. It is used, for example, to tone the stomach, to obtain a lifting effect on the buttocks or to shape the biceps or triceps.

4. SCULPT: This is the ideal mode when the objective is to define certain muscles or to gain muscle volume. It is used, for example, to define the muscles of the abdominal area, the quadriceps, and the pectorals to achieve that definition that is so difficult to achieve with traditional training.

• Intense (rapid) muscle stimulation to encourage contractions, increasing blood flow to build and repair muscles
• Increased blood flow and circulation
• Reduced stress and discomfort
• Rehabilitation and repair of the muscles
• Stimulation of collagen and blood flow to the skin
• Detoxifying
• Ant-inflammatory (pain relieving)
• Calorie burning (up to 600 calories within a 45 minute session) 

*While there are many clinical and scientific studies conducted on Electro Muscle Stimulation throughout the world, EMS treatments or therapy is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

EMS Body Sculpting treatments are suitable for women or men over the age of 19. Your suitability and goals will be discussed with you during your initial and comprehensive consultation with a ZEN Wellness Consultant. In addition, a treatment plan will be created especially for you, with additional recommendations and regular follow-ups. 

CONTRAINDICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS

Here are some tips to ensure an EMS session is a good fit for you or when to avoid use:

• EMS treatments are not recommended if you’ve been drinking alcohol or are under the influence of narcotics.
• Avoid using while pregnant
• Avoid using within 2-3 hours of any medication (to avoid detoxing the medication)
• If you feel ill or have a fever, it’s best to wait until you’re feeling better.
• EMS Treatments may cause you to sweat a lot, so you may feel lightheaded when you stand up. If this happens, make sure you get up slowly and sit down once you leave. Drink water immediately after finishing your session and wait for your body to cool down before  doing anything else.
• Trace minerals or at least some electrolytes will help prevent any  healing crisis symptoms and will also help to replenish post treatment

IMPORTANT! You should not use an electrical muscle stimulator if you have an implanted device, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator. That’s because the electrical impulses could disturb the functioning of the technology.

If you have any health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart problems, or are under medical care, it is recommended to consult with your doctor before your first session. Even though EMS treatments are known to be safe, you want to ensure it is safe for you and any condition you may have.

EMS use is not recommended for people who are pregnant, children under 19, those who cannot handle temperature extremes, those with hemophilia, fever, insensitivity to heat, and those under the influence of alcohol or who abuse alcohol. 

The use of EMS Body Sculpt is not intended to substitute for medical care or treatment. Do not stop your medication without first consulting with your doctor. EMS Body Sculpt use is NOT a substitute for any conventional medical care. 

While there are many clinical and scientific studies conducted on EMS Sculpting or Therapy throughout the world, EMS Sculpting or therapy is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
