The non-invasive HIEMT (high-intensity electromagnetic technology) body sculpting technology induces 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions in 30 minutes. What exactly does that mean? This technology is able to affect the muscle in a way that you couldn’t do voluntarily. When you do a crunch or a squat, you’re activating about 50 percent of that muscle group every three to five seconds. This is activating 100 percent of the muscle 20,000 times in a 30-minute period.
While describing HIEMT body sculpting technology to inquiring clients, our technicians let them know that the benefits may sound too good to be true, but the truth is that it really does work and we have seen amazing results from our clients.
If a client is still hesitant, our technicians would remind them that not only will they see a great improvement in their muscle tone, but they may find working out easier, better, stronger, and longer. This may help them reach their fitness goals even faster than they could without the help of HIEMT body sculping technology.
Muscle is developed while fat is also burned
Procedure takes only 30 minutes of in-clinic time
Only 4 to 6 sessions is required
Appropriately spaced treatments give the procedures time to build on each other and produce longer-lasting results
The idea of lying still for 30 minutes and getting the definition and fat-burning effect of 20,000 crunches does indeed sound too good to be true, but you cannot argue with facts. According to the reliable sources, HIEMT is able to create about 16 percent muscle development on the area it was used on after four treatments spaced two weeks apart.
HIEMT body sculpting technology works because you’re dramatically increasing the metabolic rate of what’s going on around the muscle and with the “hyper-contraction of the muscle, the fatty acids in the muscle cells leak out. Hence, you’ll see a 15 percent fat burn on top of the muscle building. Unlike CoolSculpting or SculpSure treatments, in which you are targeting the fat directly, the fat-burning caused by HIEMT body sculpting is more of a residual effect from what the device is doing to your muscles.
HIEMT body sculpting technology can certainly emphasize definition all on its own, but the best results will come from a combination of HIEMT treatments, a healthy diet, and a consistent exercise regimen. Basically, if the patient is already in great shape, then HIEMT alone could theoretically be all they need to achieve an even more toned
physique. But if they have more of an average body type, like most people within a normal BMI range, then HIEMT will be great to enhance the definition in their abdominal area, but we would also recommend that they adopt a lifestyle of eating healthy and exercising regularly in order to get a more noticeable and longer-lasting outcome.
Wondering whether you are an “ideal” candidate for HIEMT? We recommend it for anyone who is health-conscious and who exercises but is looking for that extra
definition that their SoulCycle classes just aren’t delivering—the icing on the cake, so to speak. If you’re deciding between HIEMT and something like CoolSculpting or SculpSure, we suggest that the right choice depends on your goal.
If you’re more concerned with getting rid of fat, then CoolSculpting or SculpSure might be the way to go, and then you could follow up with HIEMT for toning and muscle definition. But we must caution that, while HIEMT body sculpting can help reduce fat, its main function involves building muscle. Therefore, the less fat you have in the treatment location, the more visible results you will yield.
Because HIEMT body sculpting is a non-invasive procedure, patients won’t need to fast or undergo rest time prior to their appointments. Just show up to your appointment, and that's it!
The actual HIEMT body sculpting treatment is painless. The device straps on over your stomach area (or leg, arms, or butt area), and then our technician turns up the power. We say that they'll usually start at a lower power level and then work their way up, because going directly to 80 percent or 100 percent can hyper-stress the muscle. This risk is why you probably won’t find an HIEMT device at your local Equinox anytime soon; you’ll need a trained technician who knows how to safely handle the device.
The contractions occur a few seconds apart and feel a little strange—like super-intense vibrations that reach your very core. This experience may feel slightly uncomfortable during your first treatment but will get better and easier with each additional session. After a few contractions, the machine will switch over to a tapping motion to help break up the lactic acid that’s being released by your muscles.
