Are you struggling with a Little Belly Fat and want to be toned? Try our HIFEM.

HIFEM is a non-invasive body-shaping procedure that helps eliminate fat and build muscle simultaneously in 30 minutes.

The HIFEM procedure may be highly beneficial for individuals seeking to reduce fat and increase muscle mass. This treatment is particularly effective for those with a BMI ranging from 19 to 30. Research indicates higher levels of satisfaction among patients with a larger BMI, although the visible effects are more pronounced in slimmer individuals. The electromagnetic pulses used in HIFEM can penetrate approximately 2.4 to 2.8 inches. However, individuals with fat exceeding 1.4 inches when pinched may not experience as much benefit. 

HIFEM is especially advantageous for women who have experienced rectus diastasis, a condition characterized by the separation of abdominal muscles following childbirth. Additionally, this procedure is suitable for individuals with joint conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or chronic fatigue syndrome, as it facilitates muscle toning and strengthening without exerting excessive pressure on the joints.

HIFEM can be applied over 10 body areas, such as the abdomen, flanks, buttocks, thighs, arms & calves.

You can feel intense muscle contractions and a heating sensation in the treated area, comparable to a hot stone massage.

The treatment protocol typically includes four 30-minute sessions scheduled 5-10 days apart. Please consult your provider for more details.

You may start to notice tangible results immediately after the treatments. Optimal results are typically observed 90 days after the final session and can continue improving for several weeks after the treatment.

A single session of HM results in 20,000 pulses resulting in 20,000 ‘supramaximal’ muscle contractions. ‘Supramaximal’ muscle contractions are when the entire muscle contracts as opposed to just 20% to 30% as is the case in a physical workout session. The end result is hypertrophy (increase in the size of individual muscle fibers) and hyperplasia (increase in the number of muscle fibers as a whole). 

Studies have shown, on average, a 16% increase in muscle mass after a session of 4 treatments. This is seen in the abdominal muscles including the lateral obliques as well as the rectus abdominis. A further benefit in the abdominal muscles is a reduction in the gap between the left and right rectus sheath. This is known as rectus diastasis and is very common after pregnancy. Reducing this gap through physical exercise is extremely difficult. Overall improvement in waist circumference is also achieved thanks to associated fat reduction.

Similar gains are seen in the gluteal muscles of the buttocks, shoulders, and arms and the quadriceps and hamstrings.

As long as a good diet is maintained and weight kept steady the visual effects of HIFEM treatment are well maintained. Studies of patients receiving HIFEM treatment have demonstrated that muscle maintains increased size and strength even after a year.

At Weight Loss and Skin Center, we recommend treatment packages of 4 or 8 sessions per muscle group. These sessions can normally be once a week and last 30 minutes. Following these intensive sessions, we recommend a single maintenance session every month to continue to strengthen, tone, and maintain results. 

HIFEM is excellent as an intensive approach to muscle building, strengthening, and toning. However, it should not replace regular exercise. The benefits of regular exercise go far beyond just strength building. The physical benefits of regular exercise include maintaining cardiovascular fitness as well as reducing the incidence of common medical problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure. The endorphin release associated with exercise has mental health benefits as well. However, for those who want to build muscle and then do exercises to maintain the muscle, and those who are unable to perform physical exercise due to joint pains, injuries, and lack of energy, HIFEM is an excellent option.
