EM-Contouring with HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) is technology to produce induced supramaximal muscle contractions not achievable by voluntary action. When exposed to supramaximal contractions, the muscle tissue is forced to adapt. The muscle response with a deep remodeling of its inner structure, i.e. the growth of the myofibrils and creation of new protein strands. The process results in increased muscle density & volume!

What Results are Typical Following EM CONTOURING?

On average, the following was achieved in clinical studies on healthy patients:

19% reduction of fat
4 cm (1.5 inches) loss in waistline circumference
16% increase in muscle mass
11% reduction in abdominal muscle separation (called diastasis recti)
5 x increase in fat metabolism (apoptotic index increased from 19% to 92% after treatment)
80% of patients with visible lifting effect of buttocks
96% patient satisfaction

For the abdomen and buttocks treated patients for 30 minutes, twice a week for 2 weeks, a total of 4 treatments. Typically, one treatment every 3-6 months for maintenance is required to maintain results.

How long does it take to see results following EMCONTOUR?

Some patients notice increased muscle tone of the abs one day following treatment. The roughly 16% increase in muscle mass and 20% reduction in fat were measured 2 months after the 4th treatment.

Who is a poor candidate for EMCONTOUR? Are there contraindications?

Patients with significant fat stores may not be ideal candidates for EMCONTOUR. The HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electro Magnetic) energy used to power EMCONTOUR penetrates to about 7 cm. Those with thicker fat stores may not get as significant muscle contraction, resulting in fewer results following treatment.

Pregnant and nursing females should not undergo treatment with EMCONTOUR. Women who are close to menstruation may find that it comes sooner or cramping is increased/intensified with EMCONTOURtreatments, therefore we recommend not undergoing treatment during this time of the month.

Possible contraindications to treatment include the following:

Metal or electronic implants in the treatment area
Cardiac pacemakers
Implanted defibrillators
Implanted neurostimulators
Drug pumps
Malignant tumor
Hemorrhagic conditions
Epilepsy
Recent surgical procedures
