The number of overweight and obese people worldwide is increasing every year, and according to experts at the World Health Organization, the "obesity epidemic" is becoming an increasingly serious medical and social problem. Due to the prevalence of obesity in the population, there is currently an increasing interest in various methods of body contouring.

Obesity even limits the physical activity of the patient, negatively affecting the quality of life and in some cases leading to the loss of occupational health. Many women develop excessive fat deposits in certain areas, including the abdomen, by the time they reach puberty.

Modern Body Contouring Technology Guards Beauty and Health

It has been shown that the number of fat cells remains constant during adulthood and that the amount of fat in adults depends mainly on changes in the accumulation of lipids in existing fat cells. Weight loss does not reduce the number of fat cells, it only changes their size. Similarly, significant weight gain leads to an increase in body fat, which is due to an increase in the volume of fat cells, not their number.

Most people struggle with fluctuations in body image, not only in adulthood. The most common methods are dieting and exercise. However, all these activities provide only temporary changes in fat cell volume and are not always successful. To achieve long-term results in controlling the amount of fat in a particular part of the body, it is necessary to reduce the number of fat cells.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation Body Contouring

This body contouring treatment stimulates muscle contraction under the influence of micro-currents. As they rhythmically compress and relax, this ultimately leads to improved blood circulation, lymphatic flow, and metabolism.

The result is weight loss and body volume reduction. A single session of electrical muscle stimulation takes no more than one hour. It takes about 10 to 15 sessions to feel the weight loss and the change in body size.
