SLIMWAVE

What is truly impressive about the Slimwave treatment is that it targets specific body areas as it accelerates weight loss. The cleverly designed programs keeps the skin toned and helps to prevent sagging during the process. It is a powerful, safe, painless alternative to drugs or surgery that allows you to achieve results rapidly with no downtime. The soothing electro-stimulation treatment is beneficial to all muscle groups because as it breaks up fat and speeds up the metabolism, it also tones and firms areas like the abdominal muscles, glutes, legs, thighs, knees, “love handles or muffin tops” and arms.

An EMS stimulus fires all the motor neurons in the treated area simultaneously, creating an uncoordinated contraction, which is primarily isometric in nature. Voluntary muscular contractions, on the other hand, roll through the muscle in a wave to generate a coordinated, directed force. The muscle tension produced in a maximal EMS contraction can be up to 30% higher than a maximal voluntary contraction.

Exercise of a low enough intensity will not lead to detrimental fiber type changes. In fact, the enhanced capillary density it creates, leads to precisely the opposite effect! The enhanced capillary density raises the temperature around the motor neurons, lowering electrical resistance, allowing more fiber to take on the characteristics of fast-twitch fiber in response to high intensity work.
