What is Electrostimulation? In Electrostimulation therapy, an electrical muscle stimulator allows you to experience the benefits of a workout without actually exerting any physical effort. The system works by imitating the body's natural muscle contracting processes by sending electrical pulses through the nervous system via a set of electrodes that are attached to different muscles on your body. The treatment is completely painless and is effective for body shaping and contouring.
Electrodes are placed on specific areas of your body through which a gentle but deep current causes your muscles to contract. This should duplicate the effects of regular exercise.
As in physical exercise, Electrostimulation works on fat cells and releases the toxins that help cause cellulite. As such, it also improves metabolism and circulation and promotes slight weight loss as your muscles are toned and firmed.
How long is an Electrostimulation treatment? Sessions last about 30 minutes. Results can be seen after only one treatment, but the number of sessions depends on each individual body and the amount of cellulite. Ten to 15 treatments over a 3 to 4 week period are recommended for optimal results.
What are the advantages and benefits of Electrostimulation? The main advantage of this treatment is that it is non surgical and non invasive. It also has some medical benefits such as improving blood circulation, which helps prevent blood clots, reducing muscle pains and re-educating muscles, as in physiotherapy.
Electrostimulation therapy:
- Tightens, tones and exercises your muscles while you just sit back and relax.
- It is painless.
- Several parts of your body can be treated at the same time.
- Results can be noticed after one treatment.
What are the disadvantages Electrostimulation? There are no major disadvantages to this treatment. However:
- Some professionals disagree about its ability to duplicate the effects of exercise.
- Reduction of cellulite and skin firming are only temporary unless treatment is continued on a regular basis.
*Always consider our list of PRECAUTIONS before a treatment.
