One of the biggest trends in aesthetics right now is muscle toning. Using varied muscle non-invasive muscle stimulating energies such as HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic therapy) or EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation), you can build muscle and burn fat without ever setting foot in the gym. Create thousands of powerful muscle contractions, difficult to achieve through voluntary exercise, in a relatively short time, usually only 20 – 30 minutes.
This leads to increased muscle mass and improved muscle tone.
As we get older (or even when we are younger!), we easily lose muscle mass and definition if we are not specifically targeting certain muscle groups. Common areas that experience laxity are booty, arms, abs, and face (yes, even the face). This impacts our contour, shape, and lift. Going to the gym does not guarantee you will adequately engage the correct group of muscles efficiently enough to see lift and definition. Additionally, there aren’t any special gyms for the face, so technology is now a top way to engage those stubborn muscle groups.
Some benefits of using muscle toning on the body:
Burning visceral fat (the BAD FAT): That difficult fat that embeds itself inside the muscle and throughout the organs and makes the hard pot belly look, muscle toning can actually help burn and reduce.
Improving diastasis recti (also known as abdominal separation): A condition where the two large parallel bands of muscles that meet in the middle of the abdomen (the rectus abdominis muscles) separate. This can occur during pregnancy or due to other factors. Muscle toning can help improve or fix this muscle separation.
Injury prevention: By strengthening muscles and stabilizing joints, muscle toning can reduce the risk of injuries, particularly in athletes or individuals with specific muscle imbalances.
Strength and endurance: Regular muscle toning treatments can lead to increased muscle strength and endurance, making it beneficial for athletes and individuals looking to enhance their physical performance.
Improved core strength: Muscle toning is effective at targeting deep core muscles, which can lead to better posture, stability, and reduced back pain.
Benefits of using muscle toning for face:
Muscle Toning and Firming: Muscle toning can help to tone and firm the facial muscles, which can contribute to a more sculpted appearance. Areas of improvement typically are the cheek and jowl area and the forehead/brow line, creating a lifted and sculpted look.
Improved Circulation: The electrical impulses can enhance blood flow to the facial area, which can lead to a healthier complexion and a more radiant look.
Reduced Wrinkles and Fine Lines: While muscle toning primarily targets muscles, the increased blood flow and muscle tone can indirectly contribute to a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Complementary to Other Skincare Treatments: Muscle toning can be used in conjunction with other skincare treatments, such as facial massages, masks, or light therapies, to enhance overall results.
