Electro Muscle Stimulation or EMS
What is Electro Muscle Stimulation?
EMS is a form of medical treatment used in physical therapy and rehabilitation, but also very much in Aesthetic treatments for Facial De-aging & Body Sculpting.
It is an electrical device that delivers electrical impulses to the body. These electrical signals trigger repeated contractions or tightening of the muscles. EMS promotes and facilitates muscle healing, tissue regeneration and skin/muscle tightening.
It has been scientifically proven that EMS is beneficial for achieving visible, favourable aesthetic results in skin tightening and toning.
Why is EMS beneficial in Aesthetic Skin Treatments?
Just as athletes undergo Electrostimulation to tone or strengthen their bodies, this
technology also lends itself to tightening the skin and giving the skin and muscles better flexibility for enhanced appearance.
EMS for De-aging Facial Treatments
You have 43 muscles in your face. In order for them to stay toned, they need to be active and this is where EMS is beneficial. As your facial muscles get their workout from an EMS device, your body responds by increasing the output of Adenosine Triphosphate or ATP.
ATP is the primary chemical energy source for muscular functions, enhancing overall strength and flexibility. Your body also accesses ATP for cellular functions, driving skin cell turnover and renewal for firmness and suppleness.
Regular EMS sessions can for instance give your jawline and cheeks a more distinct, chiselled and contoured appearance. EMS can also boost your overall cellular metabolism, by increasing blood circulation for a Healthy Glow! It also supports your natural lymphatic system processes to flush toxins out of the body.
Additionally, the firming and lifting of each set of muscles reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as drooping jowls and bulk on double chins, whilst restoring the skin’s youthful elasticity.
Basically, as your collagen production accelerates, you benefit from all the stimulation it brings to your skin and your system.
Is EMS compatible with other De-aging devices at The Goddess Factor®?
Most definitely yes! We advocate that you consult with our Somatologists on bespoke combination treatments that will enhance results.
EMS works in combination with the following protocols:
For Face/Neck/Décolleté De-aging –
*Safyre Radio Frequency
*Mezotix™ Thermal Ablation
*Microneedling
*DR GOBAC® Skin-transforming Peels
*Lamelle Laboratories Peels
*VIP Goddess Glow 3 in 1 treatment
1.Enhanced and Revitalised appearance
Confidence is restored when one looks and feels good!
A more youthful appearance with no sagging on the face or neck is achieved.
Tightened and toned skin & muscles make such a big difference to facial contours!
2.Stimulates Muscular Blood Flow
EMS when done at lower frequencies, has been shown to increase blood flood to muscle tissues. Due to the contraction and relaxation cycles of the electrical impulses, the muscle acts as a pump to increase oxygen rich blood flow into the muscle belly while also aiding in metabolite clearance from the muscle.
3.Enhanced Muscular Strength and Power
While EMS is not a viable substitute for strength and power training, it has been shown to be effective at increasing muscular contraction rates and strength in athletes. This can also be beneficial for individuals during rehabilitation stages, but be sure to seek your physician’s clearance first. It is a good way to stimulate and re-educate muscle fibres and build strength without high amounts of external loading. It could be helpful for lifters with joint/connective tissue injuries.
4.Reduced Muscle Pain
Some studies have shown that following EMS protocols, athletes self-reported decreased muscle pain than without any intervention. Athletes with lower pain – either perceived or actual – often are able to train harder and feel more recovered leading into successive training sessions, furthering performance outcomes.
5.Improved Psychological Recovery
EMS has been shown to improve the psychological recovery and perceived recovery of an athlete. This is important because an athlete who “feels” recovered – and often has recovered – due to the above reasons and sound programming, will be able to train harder and reap greater outcomes from it.
Features
