Breakthroughs in non-invasive cosmetic technologies are revolutionizing the body contouring industry. A popular line of treatments specifically utilizes Highly Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate tissue growth and rejuvenation. Dr. Kambiz Tajkarimi, founder and medical director of Better Body MD, explains why more and more adults are turning to non-surgical alternatives for improving physical appearance and restoring confidence with a younger, fitter looking physique.
Highly Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy safely penetrates the skin to stimulate underlying muscle tissue. The stimulation induces powerful muscle contractions known as supramaximal contractions. “A 30-minute treatment using HIFEM energy induces 20,000 muscle contractions in a given area of the body,” touts Dr. Tajkarimi. “This provides a far more intense muscle workout than an individual can induce through manual effort,” he continues.
One of the most popular treatments utilizing HIFEM energy is known as Emsella. Dr. Tajkarimi, a board-certified urologist and renowned sexual health expert, touts Emsella as “a non-surgical option for women to improve urinary incontinence.” Nicknamed the “Kegel throne,” Emsella treatments utilize an ergonomic chair that women can sit on, fully clothed, for the duration of their treatment. The chair sends HIFEM energy into the pelvic floor, stimulating muscle contractions. According to Dr. Tajkarimi, “pelvic floor muscles, which support the organs that affect bladder control, are often damaged during pregnancy and childbirth.” This often leads to incontinence. Like Kegel exercises, Emsella forces tissue contractions to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and tighten the vaginal wall. “This provides a completely non-invasive method for improving bladder control,” claims Dr. Tajkarimi.
Another well-liked treatment that rejuvenates tissue using HIFEM energy is Emsculpt. This revolutionary body-building treatment is FDA cleared to strengthen and enhance the muscles of the abdomen, the arms, the legs, and the buttocks. Emsculpt is popular among men who wish to strengthen their core, chisel their abs, enhance their biceps and triceps, or sculpt their calves. However, Dr. Tajkarimi notes that “lately, I have seen many women come in for Emsculpt on the buttocks.” The treatment provides a “subtle lifting and tightening effect, providing the only non-surgical alternative to a butt-lift.” This is especially important for women who want to rejuvenate their appearance but cannot afford the cost or downtime associated with surgery,” explains Dr. Tajkarimi.
