What is HIEMT?

HIEMT is a non-invasive, FDA approved treatment to build and strengthen muscle and improve tone in the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and arms. A 30-minute treatment is equivalent to 20,000 sit ups or squats. It is the only procedure to help both women and men build muscle to sculpt their bodies. HIEMT can tone and tighten the abdomen and is the world’s first non-invasive buttock lifting procedure. The current handpiece treats the abdomen, buttocks and thighs. A new curved smaller handpiece for the biceps, triceps, calves and flanks (love handles) will be available soon.

​

How does HIEMT work?

The non-invasive HIEMT (High-Intensity Electromagnetic technology) induces supramaximal muscle contractions much stronger and faster than achievable through voluntary exercise. Four 30- minute treatments, performed at least 2 days apart, are recommended for best results, though more treatments can improve the area further. The vigorous contractions trigger a metabolic change in the overlying fat that leads to destruction of a percentage of the fat cells. Seven published studies showed an average of 16% increased muscle thickness and 19% decreased fat thickness in the abdomen. The studies also demonstrated over 10% reduction in the diastasisrectil the separation between the left and right abdomen muscles that is stretched by pregnancy.

 

Am I a good candidate for HIEMT?

Anyone who wants to strengthen their abdominal, buttock or thigh muscles can benefit from the HIEMT procedure. The best candidates, who are most likely to achieve visible, satisfying results, are of normal weight, exercise regularly, and eat a healthy diet.

 

What does it feel like?

The HIEMT procedure feels like an intensive workout, as your muscles are undergoing a vigorous series of contractions every few minutes for a total of 30 minutes. There is also a prickling sensation during the treatment.

 

Is there any downtime?

HIEMT is non-invasive and requires no recovery time or any pre/post treatment preparation or  downtime.

​

How soon will I see results?

The muscles treated will feel stronger with each treatment, with increased muscle mass resulting about 2-4 weeks after the 4 treatment series. Improvement of the overlying fat is appreciable by about 3 months after the series is completed. We recommend a good exercise regimen to maintain results. Many individuals find HIEMT treatments at 6 month intervals are useful to maintain results.

 

How long does it last?

Improved muscle tone lasts at least 6 months but longer if you exercise regularly. The fat loss in the abdomen area is thought to be long term due to fat cell destruction.
