HIFEMS + RF

High-Intensity Focused Electro Magnetic Stimulation technology for toning/weight loss with (RF) Radio Frequency.

This device uses a powerful but harmless form of electromagnetic stimulation to contract the muscles in a targeted area. These magnetic fields create electrical currents, which are passed to the muscles. When these magnetic pulses are fast enough, they force the muscles to contract, much like they do during times of strenuous exercise.

Therefore, when the muscles contract enough times, they begin to build muscles and burn fat. 

These powerful induced muscle contractions not achievable through voluntary contractions. The muscle tissue is forced to adapt to such extreme condition. It responds with a deep remodeling of its inner structure that results in muscle building and sculpting your body.

HIFEM technology treats muscle laxity throughout various areas of the body, including the: 

  • Buttocks 

  • Abdominal area 

  • Triceps 

  • Biceps 

  • Thighs 

  • Calves

What is a typical treatment session?

The device paddles are attached to the desired area for 30 minutes, which is when high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy flexes your muscles 300 times their inherent capacity. The sensation can be intense, but we ensure that a technician is with you throughout your treatment to ensure that the levels are adjusted as needed to maintain your comfort.

How many sessions will I need?

Our technician will discuss your specific goals with you. We recommend 6 to 8 treatments per area of concern. The treatment is typically about 30 minutes (per area) per session, with sessions separated by at least 2 days. Completing a full treatment series is necessary to maximize treatment efficacy. You may need additional treatments depending on your starting point and how well your body responds. We do recommend a maintenance session at least once every 6 weeks, per area to ensure that your results continue.

How soon can I expect to see a change?

This may vary depending on your age, physical condition, BMI and many other aspects. The first treatment itself can make you feel positively different, especially for your abdomen and buttocks. However, patients have reported the best results after 4 to 6 weeks have passed since the last session. These results keep improving for up to 6 months after the initial protocol of 4 treatments is completed.

For ideal results, patients should have 4 x 30-minute sessions.

Is there any downtime or pre/post treatment preparation?

Prior to the treatment you are not required to do anything special. On the day of the treatment, you are advised to wear comfortable clothing which allows flexibility for correct positioning during the treatment. You will be asked to remove all jewelry and electronic devices.

There is no downtime. The treatment is targeted and unlike full body workouts, patients do not have the full body lactic acid production. This enables you to even exercise the very same day. Combining the treatment with a workout can enhance fat loss and you will notice your motivation increase with the complementary results from this treatments.

More information about the treatment.

We must remember that no treatment is complete without physical effort, and cannot replace exercise. Even if you are at a session, remember to exercise your body. Physical exercise is beneficial to the body and health and is essential to reduce disease risk.

HIFEM does, however, help you achieve your goals faster and boost your workout results. The ideal is to reach the perfect balance between the two to help you get there soon.

Successful treatment outcome can be affected by smoking or excessive alcohol consumption, as well as: eating disorders or on-going medication. While no special diet is required, you are encouraged to eat healthy to help promote and maintain results.

Who is a poor candidate for this treatment and what are the contraindications?

Contraindications to treatment may include but are not limited to the following:  

  • Cardiac pacemakers

  • Implanted defibrillators

  • Metal pins for broken bones

  • Implanted neurostimulators

  • Drug pumps

  • Malignant tumor

  • Hemorrhagic conditions

  • Epilepsy

  • Recent surgical procedures

  • Pregnancy

  • Nursing

Women who are close to menstruation may find that it comes sooner, or cramping is increased/intensified with the treatments, therefore we recommend not undergoing treatment during this time of the month.

Clients with significant fat stores may not be ideal candidates.  The energy used to power HIFEM penetrates to about 7 cm. Those with thicker fat stores may not get as significant of muscle contraction, resulting in less results following treatment.

All clients are required to complete a thorough health screening form prior to treatment.
