HiEMT Muscle Building

What is High-Intensity Electromagnetic Muscle Therapy (HIEMT)?

  • HIEMT is an innovative, non-invasive technology specifically designed to stimulate motor neurons directly, prompting supramaximal muscle contractions that far exceed those achieved through standard exercise. These intense contractions enhance muscle strength while also promoting fat metabolism, delivering transformative results that traditional workouts often cannot match.

Quick Facts:

  • Clinical Outcomes: Key Facts and Figures
    The following outcomes are derived from a treatment program lasting 6 to 8 weeks, typically consisting of six sessions over two months:
  • Apoptosis (Fat Cell Destruction)
    Eight hours after treatment, the fat cell destruction index increased by 92%, demonstrating the immediate effectiveness of the therapy.
  • Fat Reduction
    On average, participants reported a fat reduction of about 19%. The thickness of the fat layer decreased by an average of 4.4 mm.
  • Waist Circumference
    Subjects experienced an average decrease of 4.17 cm in their waist circumference.
  • Muscle Development
    Muscle thickness increased by an average of 16%, highlighting the therapy's significant toning and strengthening effects.
  • Postpartum Benefits
    The rectus abdominis (a key abdominal muscle) exhibited an average improvement of 11%, making this therapy an excellent choice for postpartum recovery.

How Does HIEMT Work?

  • In a standard 30-minute session, HIEMT technology produces approximately 30,000 supramaximal muscle contractions in the targeted area. This therapy utilizes high-intensity electromagnetic energy that penetrates deeply into the muscle layers, reaching depths of up to 8 centimeters. This energy triggers supramaximal contractions that are considerably more powerful than those achieved through voluntary exercise.

This therapy utilizes high-intensity electromagnetic energy that penetrates deeply into the muscle layers, reaching depths of up to 8 centimeters. This energy triggers supramaximal contractions that are considerably more powerful than those achieved through voluntary exercise.

Resulting in two primary effects:

  • Fat Reduction: The powerful contractions compel fat cells to break down, metabolize, and be expelled from the body.
  • Muscle Strengthening: The continuous activation of muscles improves tone, density, and strength, ultimately sculpting the body and enhancing its overall shape. This dual-action approach makes HIEMT a groundbreaking addition to body sculpting, offering clients quick and effective results without the need for invasive procedures.

What Are Supramaximal Contractions?

Supramaximal contractions engage muscle fibers at their fullest capacity, exceeding what can be accomplished
during regular physical activity. This level of stimulation compels the muscles to adapt, leading to growth and
enhanced strength.
Muscle Hypertrophy and Hyperplasia
The intense contractions produced by Muscle Stimulation Therapy trigger two critical processes in muscle
development:
- Hypertrophy: The expansion of existing muscle fibers, resulting in increased density and volume.
- Hyperplasia: The formation of new muscle fibers, which enhances overall muscle strength and functionality.
These processes contribute to enhanced muscle tone, structural integrity, and performance.

Lipolysis and Fat Cell Elimination
Muscle Stimulation Therapy also targets fat cells through a process known as lipolysis, which breaks down
triglycerides stored in fat cells into free fatty acids and glycerol.
- Fatty Acid Release: The supramaximal contractions promote the release of fatty acids, which the body
metabolizes for energy.
- Apoptosis: The elevated concentration of fatty acids triggers programmed cell death (apoptosis) in fat cells.
These dead fat cells are gradually eliminated via the body's natural metabolic processes over several weeks.
This dual action results in a noticeable reduction of fat in the treated areas.
Deep Penetration of Energy
This technology penetrates muscle layers more deeply than traditional exercise, reaching underutilized or
inaccessible muscle groups through standard workouts. This ensures that even smaller stabilizing muscles
benefit from the treatment, contributing to overall body sculpting.
Collagen Production and Structural Support
The therapy stimulates collagen chain production, which is essential for maintaining muscle integrity and skin
elasticity. This not only reinforces the enhanced muscle structure but also contributes to smoother, firmer skin in
the treated areas.

What Causes Rectus Abdominis Separation?

During pregnancy, the growing fetus exerts pressure on the abdominal muscles, which leads to their separation as they stretch to accommodate the expanding uterus. This condition can lead to several challenges, including:

- Decreased abdominal support: With inadequate support for internal organs, mothers may experience a sagging, protruding belly with increased fat.

- Weakened core strength: A noticeable decline in abdominal strength can make routine activities more difficult.

- Secondary physical issues: Many mothers deal with lower back pain, lumbar strain, and other discomforts stemming from decreased core stability.

Why Traditional Exercise May Not Be Sufficient

Once the rectus abdominis muscles have separated, conventional abdominal exercises like sit-ups or crunches often fail to address the problem effectively. In some cases, these exercises can worsen the situation by applying additional strain on the weakened abdominal wall. Medical professionals frequently advocate for deep abdominal exercises that target the transverse abdominis, the body’s deepest layer of abdominal muscles. However, these exercises can be challenging for mothers, especially those with limited time or lower levels of fitness.

The Role of Muscle Stimulation Therapy in Postpartum Recovery

Muscle Stimulation Therapy, utilizing High-Intensity Electromagnetic Technology (HIEMT), presents an innovative, non-invasive approach to treating diastasis recti. This advanced therapy provides postpartum women with a safe and effective means to rebuild abdominal strength and minimize separation.

Clinical studies have indicated that HIEMT treatments can decrease rectus abdominis separation by an average of 11%.

Building Muscle to Shed Fat

There’s no need for strenuous exercise, discomfort, or sweating. Simply lie down for 30 minutes, during which one Muscle Stimulation EMS treatment can replicate the effect of 30,000 muscle contractions — comparable to performing 30,000 sit-ups.

The more muscle mass you have, the quicker fat burns.

Muscle mass is crucial in the basal metabolic rate (BMR). As muscle density and mass increase, the BMR accelerates calorie burning. There is a direct relationship between the amount of muscle in the body and metabolic rate: individuals with more muscle will burn more calories, leading to the utilization of stored fat.

To achieve a lean physique, it’s essential to build muscle mass.

Benefits of Increased Muscle Mass

– Prevents premature aging and helps maintain physical vitality.

– Alleviates chronic pain in muscles and joints.

– Enhances blood circulation.

– Shields internal organs.

– Aids in improving or preventing diabetes.

– Helps reduce high blood pressure.

– Lowers the risk of heart disease.

– Boosts cognitive function.

FAQs

No, not every client will require precisely 6 sessions. The number of EMS Muscle Stimulation sessions needed varies based on personal goals, body type, and the specific area being treated.  

Most clients find benefit from 6-8 sessions, but this may fluctuate:  

– Clients aiming for general toning or mild fat loss may achieve results with 4-6 sessions.  

– Those pursuing significant muscle growth or fat reduction may need 8 or more sessions.

Initial Results: Some clients may start to see improvements in muscle tone and firmness after just 2-3 sessions, especially if they are active and maintain a healthy lifestyle.  

Optimal Results: Most clients will notice visible changes and enhanced muscle contractions around the 4-6 session mark.  

Full Results: Results are typically maximized after 8 sessions, particularly when combined with proper hydration, nutrition, and physical activity.

It is recommended to wait at least 3 days between EMS sessions, but the ideal interval for most clients is 3 to 5 days. This period allows for sufficient muscle recovery while ensuring consistent progress.

Muscle Recovery: EMS induces intense muscle contractions, akin to a workout. Muscles require time to repair and strengthen before the next session to prevent overtraining.  

Optimal Results: Spacing sessions 3-5 days apart maximizes muscle toning and fat-burning effects while minimizing the risk of fatigue or soreness.  

Consistency: Keeping regular sessions within this timeframe maintains progress momentum without overloading the muscles.

Yes, it is completely safe for children or loved ones to be present in the room during treatment. Muscle Stimulation Therapy employs focused, safe technology that does not pose any risk to bystanders. Here are the reasons why:

Non-Ionizing Technology:  

   Muscle Stimulation Therapy does not emit ionizing energy.  

  What does this mean? The treatment energy lacks the power to ionize (or alter the structure of) cells, eliminating any risks associated with radiation.

Non-Thermal Mechanism: 

   The therapy operates through a non-thermal mechanism, which means it does not generate heat that could affect sensory nerves.  

   It specifically targets motor neurons, ensuring that only the muscles of the individual receiving treatment are stimulated, with no effect on those nearby.

Focused Energy Delivery:  

   The high-frequency electromagnetic energy is precisely directed, ensuring that it affects only the treatment area and remains contained without diffusing into the surrounding environment.
