HiEMT FAQs
MaxGym Hi-EMT FAQS
HOW DOES MaxGym HI-EMT COMPARE TO OTHER TREATMENTS AVAILABLE?
HIEMT is amongst only a few procedures in the world that not only targets fat, but also simultaneously builds your muscles. All the other technologies are good, but they only treat fat. To look trim and toned, you need to have both your fat reduced as well as your underlying muscles strengthened. Also, HIEMT is not based on a heating/cooling principle, so there are no risks of burns, scarring or swelling.
Furthermore, none of the other technologies can give you a non-invasive buttock lift. By strengthening your gluteal muscles, MaxGym established a completely new category of treatments – a non-invasive butt lift.
HOW CAN I BENEFIT FROM MaxGym Hi-EMT?
Firstly, MaxGym Hi-EMT helps patients achieve slimmer and more athletic body contours, by reducing abdominal fat and simultaneously building the muscle foundations underneath the fat.
Secondly, when applied to buttocks, MaxGym-HIEMT gives our clients a more lifted, athletic kind of butt that they had long been wishing for. It is the only non-invasive buttock lifting procedure in the world. Patient don’t need to undergo surgery anymore to have their butts tones and lifted.
WHAT IS A TYPICAL TREATMENT SESSION LIKE?
The MaxGym-HIEMT device paddles are attached to the abdomen or buttocks for 30 minutes, which is when high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy flexes your muscles 300 times their inherent capacity. The sensation is endorphin releasing, resembling a full body intense workout. If you enjoy a gym workout, the feeling is similar and leaves you on a happy note with a natural endorphin high.
DOES MaxGym HIEMT TREATMENT HURT?
That is the best thing about MaxGym HIEMT, most people says it is completely painless, the procedure feels like an intensive workout. The machine induces painless but strong contractions in the area treated, during which you can lay down and relax.
HOW LONG IS THE DOWNTIME? WHEN CAN YOU RETURN TO NORMAL EXERCISE?
There is no downtime with MaxGym-HIEMT treatments. Unlike full body workouts, MaxGym-HIEMT treatment is targeted and you do not have the full body lactic acid production. This enables you to perform other exercise the very same day. Combining the treatment with a workout can enhance fat loss and you will notice your motivation increase with the complementary results from MaxGym-HIEMT.
WHO IS A POOR CANDIDATE FOR MaxGym-HIEMT? ARE THERE CONTRAINDICATIONS?
Patients with significant fat stores may not be ideal candidates for HIEMT. The HIEMT energy used to power HIEMT penetrates to about 7 cm. Those with fat stores thicker than 7cm may not get as significant of muscle contraction, resulting in less results following treatment. (You may want to choose Ultra-RF fat reduction treatment to reduce your fat stores before receiving MaxGym-HIEMT treatment).
Possible contraindications to treatment include the following:
- Pregnant and nursing females should not undergo treatment with HIEMT
- Metal or electronic implants in the treatment area
- Cardiac pacemakers
- Implanted defibrillators
- Implanted neurostimulators
- Drug pumps
- Malignant tumor
- Hemorrhagic conditions
- Epilepsy
- Recent surgical procedures
HOW SOON CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULT?
This may vary depending on your age, physical condition, BMI and many other aspects. The first treatment itself can make you feel positively different, especially for your abdomen and buttocks. However, patients have reported the best results after 4 to 6 weeks have passed since the last session. These results keep improving for up to 6 months after the initial protocol of 4-12 treatments is completed.
HOW MANY SESSIONS OF HIEMT DO I NEED?
For ideal results, you should have 4 x 30-minute sessions within two weeks spaced every 2-3 days (for one area).
HOW LONG CAN THE RESULTS LAST?
Maintaining the result is possible, but must include regular exercise. You may also return for maintenance treatments every couple of months to maintain the tone.
IS HIEMT THE SAME AS A TENS UNIT?
No. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) devices produce small amounts of battery-powered electrical energy to stimulate muscle contraction. TENS devices are used to treat pain disorders.
HIEMT, on the other hand, is an extremely powerful device which is capable of producing supraphysiologic contraction of muscles and lipolysis.
WHO IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR HIEMT TREATMENT?
HIEMT works best for people who stay active and take care of their diet and lifestyle. These candidates see the best results of all. HIEMT treatments help you see and feel positive changes in your body and give you a boost in motivation to continue a healthy lifestyle.
HIEMT also work for Diastasis Recti.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAT FREEZING AND HIEMT?
Fat freezing is an hour-long, process that kills fat cells by freezing them. The body tries to get rid of these dead cells over the next 12 weeks. Although there is not physical downtime, the treated area will be tender and potentially bruised for approximately 2 weeks after a fat freezing treatment. HIEMT is a painless procedure which removes fat and builds muscle in 30 minutes without pain, redness, swelling, delivered with the most consistent results.
IS HIEMT SAFE?
HIEMT represents the first innovative technology that has shown in multiple studies to treat both muscle and fat.
HIEMT, which is electromagnetic energy, it has no radiations and is completely safe.
