HIFEM BODY SCULPTING
Electromagnetic Body Sculpting with Opatra Genesis uses high intensity focused electromagnetic field (HIFEM) technology to affect muscles in a way that we wouldn’t do voluntarily. Dr Paul Jarrod Frank explains that in a normal squat or crunch we activate 50% of the muscle group for 3-5 seconds, whereas HIFEM activates 100% of the muscle 22,000 times in a 30-minute period. Wow! In response to these contractions, the muscle reconstructs itself and fat cells in the area are eliminated. It is considered that HIFEM is equivalent to 10 hours in the gym for a 30-minute session – relaxing with your fully qualified beauty therapist.
Hifem is now available exclusively at B Medi Spa in Dorking and Reigate.
VISIBLE RESULTS IN 2-3 WEEKS
The visible effects of HIFEM are noticed in 2-3 weeks after the last treatment but will probably go on improving if fully supported by healthy lifestyle choices well beyond this. Fat cells that are destroyed through ‘apoptosis’ are naturally and gradually eliminated by the body. Improvement of the overlying fat is typically seen in 2-3 weeks after the treatment.
“I physically can’t do the number of squats required for the shape I’d love but I can manage a maintenance regime,” said one happy HIFEM customer.
HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED?
HIFEM is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle, it can kickstart a new regime though. It will give you results that you’d struggle to achieve on your own. From the first session you will feel a difference and may in fact have tenderness in the area similar to working out – but without the time and hard work put in! The results are cumulative with 4 being the minimum recommended number of treatments.
DOES IT WORK FOR EVERYONE?
Muscle mass gained by HIFEM is expected to last for 6 months to a year, but it is recommended you keep these results up with a healthy lifestyle of diet and exercise. HIFEM is generating the results you’d expect from gym sessions but at a much, much faster rate. Just as a break in working out causes muscle to atrophy over time, this is no different.
DO NOT TRY HIFEM IF YOU HAVE... • Metal implants • A pacemaker or history of cardiac issues/ seizures • A hernia or recent surgery • Pregnancy or IUD in-situ
MAINTABLE RESULTS
The results of HIFEM are maintainable but not permanent. Sorry! but once you have had the treatment it is easy to keep the fat at bay as HIFEM generates results similar to exercising but at a much faster and more effective pace. The muscle size and tone can be maintained for very long period of time with proper diet and exercise but ladies, be warned, it is not a permanent fix.
The results, however, can be easily maintained with a simple, follow up treatment every 3 to 6 months.
Another HIFEM fan, said, “I eat a healthy diet and have a regular exercise regime; I mainly exercise at home following programmes on You Tube, but feel abdominal definition is not achievable with ab exercises alone. Once I have it (through HIFEM) I’ll maintain it.
