HIFEM
HIFEM stimulates muscles with a focused electromagnetic field. It triggers intense, repeated contractions, comparable to sustained exercise, without any effort on your part.
Who this treatment is for
- An area you want to tone without going to the gym.
- An abdomen or glutes that exercise alone is not firming up.
- Returning to activity and wanting support with it.
- A treatment with no needles, no heat and no recovery time.
How a session unfolds
- A conversation to check contraindications, in particular any metal implant or a copper coil for abdominal areas.
- The applicator is placed directly on the skin and held by a strap, so the treated area needs to be uncovered. The rest of the body stays covered.
- Intensity is raised gradually, to a level you confirm and that stays comfortable.
- The session of contractions, during which you have nothing to do but stay relaxed.
Duration and sensations
The appointment lasts 30 minutes. The sensation is unusual: the muscle contracts on its own, strongly and in waves, without you pushing. It is not painful, but it is striking during the first session. Local redness may appear during the session.
How many sessions, and how often
HIFEM works as a course, with packages covering four or six sessions. The rhythm is set during the assessment, depending on the area and your fitness.
Indicative protocol : 6 sessions, one to two a week, with upkeep every three to four months.
Immediately afterwards
- You resume your activities immediately, with no recovery time.
- Muscle soreness in the treated area is possible within 12 to 24 hours, as after intense exercise. It settles within one to two days.
- Drink enough water and move gently, walking or stretching, to help muscle recovery.
- No intense physical effort in the 24 to 48 hours after the session.
- No aesthetic injections, botox or hyaluronic acid, for three months afterwards.
- Contact us if pain does not improve after a few days.
