Emscuplting is a non-invasive muscle building procedure that will stimulate your muscles to their limits, this makes your muscles stronger and will give you a toned appearance on the targeted area.
You will arrive at your appointment and the therapist will connect either one or two handles depending on the area that you are targeting. Once you are comfortable and connected your therapist will gradually increase the intensity of the machine. You will feel your muscles contract and relax with small intervals in between. The machine uses electromagnetic energy to contract your muscles during this procedure.
In a 30 minute session it will stimulate up to 20 000 contractions, equivalent to 20 000 sit ups/ squats (depending on the area treated).
Preparation for your appointment:
Hydration is key for this procedure because although you will be relaxing your muscles will be doing the work.
Do not eat two hours before treatment to ensure that you’re not uncomfortable during the contractions.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol the day before and the day of the treatment as both of these will dehydrate you and can make you feel ill while you’re trying to relax.
Post appointment:
You will feel that your muscles are a bit stiff almost as if you’ve been working out. As this procedure is non-invasive and does not require any downtime you will not experience any difficulty in going about your day after your appointment.
Remember to stay hydrated!
