What is HIFEM technology?
Our clinic has the first and only non-invasive body shaping procedure that uses radiofrequency heating for fat reduction and high intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM®) for muscle strengthening and toning in a 30-minute session. The end result is more fat reduction and muscle growth than any single gold standard product, for less time and less money.
How does HIFEM work?
The treatment is based on an applicator simultaneously emitting synchronized RF and HIFEM+ energies. Due to the radiofrequency heating, the muscle temperature quickly raises by several degrees. This prepares muscles for exposure to stress, similar to what a warm up activity does before any workout. In less than 4 minutes, the temperature in subcutaneous fat reaches levels that cause apoptosis, i.e. fat cells are permanently damaged and slowly removed from the body. Clinical studies showed on average a 30% reduction in subcutaneous fat. HIFEM+ energy contracts 100% of the muscle fibers in the area at intensities that are not achievable during voluntary workout. Extreme stress forces the muscle to adapt, resulting in an increase in the number and growth of muscle fibers and cells. On average the muscle volume increases by 25%.
Who is the right candidate for this treatment?
If you can benefit from less fat and more muscle, this procedure may be a great fit.
What areas can be treated with our HIFEM?
Our device can be applied over the abdomen, glutes, thighs (including front, back, outer and inner), arms & calves. We have also added the newest applicator with our device. This applicator’s design can now contour oblique muscles and can even reach the flanks and love handles for a more sculpted mid-section. As well, many patients are seeing significant improvements in their posture and reduction of back pain.
Does our HIFEM really work?
Yes! The embedded high intensity magnetic field (HIFEM) technology has been clinically tested for safety and efficacy through seven clinical studies*. Moreover, 30 scientific publications make HIFEM the most intensively researched body contouring technology since its introduction in 2018.
How is this procedure performed?
This procedure is simple and easy. There is no pre-preparation required for this procedure. You will lay down while the applicators are applied over the treatment area for 30 minutes. During the treatment you may feel intense yet tolerable muscle contractions along with heating sensation which is comparable to hot stone massage. Once the procedure is completed, you can immediately get back to your daily routine.
What is the protocol for our HIFEM treatment?
Protocol for our device is usually four 30-minute treatments, scheduled 5-10 days apart.
*Results may vary from patient to patient. A complimentary consultation is required before treatments can be booked. There may be contraindications and possible side effects that need to be discussed at your consultation. We do not treat pregnant or breast feeding patients with any of our devices or procedures.
