This technology provides beneficial muscle tightening results for most people. Only pregnant and breastfeeding women should not undergo this type of treatment.
For women approaching their menstrual period, if they undergo the treatment, their period may come earlier or they may experience more intense abdominal cramps. They are therefore advised to avoid treatment during this period.
You should not receive the treatment if you have any of the following conditions in your body: metal or electronic implants in the treatment area, a pacemaker implant, a defibrillator implant, a neurostimulator implant, a drug pump implant, a malignant tumour, epilepsy or recent surgery.
For the average patient, Body Building Sculpting is a low-stress experience and there are usually no significant side effects during or after treatment. Myofacial augmentation is a non-invasive treatment method with low risk, and to date no serious adverse reactions have been documented following its use.
However, people with metal or electronic devices in their bodies (e.g., pacemakers, [copper-containing] IUDs, etc.) should not use augmentation sculpting, as these devices may interfere with electromagnetic waves.
The procedure itself is painless. No anaesthesia is required. Simply lie back and use two electrode plates at the same time to apply high intensity focused electromagnetic energy. The sensation during the treatment is most similar to how your muscles feel during vigorous exercise.
Some patients have noticed an improvement in abdominal muscle tone after just one day of treatment. Four treatments are required to break down fat and build muscle. The best results are seen 2 - 4 weeks after the treatment. As a result of the treatment, fat can be reduced by 19% and muscle gained by 16%.
After 4 treatments, the results last up to 6 months. However, some people may need additional treatments to achieve optimal results. The best results are better maintained if a course of treatments is carried out every 2 - 3 months.
