Targeted EMS

Targeted EMS body sculpting in Mesa.

LifeCare has added targeted electrical muscle stimulation for spot fat reduction and for increasing muscle bulk in a specific area. It is most often used over the abdomen, and it can also be used on the glutes and arms.

How It Works

Stimulation aimed at one area

Whole-body electrical muscle stimulation has been in the practice for quite a while, and uptake on it has been slow. In continuing research on EMS, Dr. Bogash came across targeted EMS, which can be used for spot fat reduction as well as increasing muscle bulk in certain areas.

The idea is simple, and it brings back the commercials where you hook electrodes on your stomach and, in 6 weeks, you will have abs of steel. The technology has come a long way from that.

Stimulating muscles hundreds of times per minute can increase muscle bulk. Electromagnetic waves trigger about 20,000 involuntary muscle contractions in a single 30-to-35-minute session, far beyond what voluntary exercise can achieve. Muscle fibers are forced to remodel, strengthen, and grow while fat cells in the treated area break down. Radiofrequency heat is partnered with the stimulation for extra fat reduction, and there is a potential increase in core strength.
