HOW MANY EMS TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

More often than not, improvement can be felt after your very first session. The speed of maximum improvement depends entirely upon the condition of your muscles at the beginning. On average, good improvements are noticeable 4-6 weeks of consistent treatments.

HOW LONG DO THE EFFECTS LAST?

Like any form of exercise, the results are never permanent unless you do something to maintain them. We suggest daily treatment from onset for a minimum of three weeks, with 2-3 sessions weekly thereafter. By having 2-3 sessions per week, you should be able to maintain your results. Remember though, EMS does not "burn calories", so do not increase your calorie consumption.

DO I NEED SPECIAL TRAINING?

All units come complete with easy to use instructional manual which has various pictorial pad placement charts. However, our consultants are available to answer any of your queries or provide free demonstrations whenever possible.

WILL I DEVELOP ATHLETIC LOOKING MUSCLES?

There are various forms of muscle movement - Passive Exercise being one. EMS is ideal for just toning, firming and tightening. However special athletic level units are also available for building and bulking. Our athletic Body Shaper EMS units provides body builders with a safe scientific alternative to steroids. Natural (drug free) bodybuilders will now be able to produce the same phenomenal gains in muscle size and strength that was before only available to steroid users. The benefits of ems units are so widely accepted that even NASA is currently studying its usage in space by astronauts. The Body Shapers home muscle stimulator units should be used in conjunction with a regular weight training routine when trying to build bulk. You can use your Body Shaper muscle stim home system on the muscles that you've just worked out on a given day for about 15-45 minutes after the workout. You can also use your Body Shaper ems home unit before training (to pre-exhaust a muscle) and during training (to make exercise more intense). If you're participating in a sport that does not require a weight training regiment, your Body Shaper home muscle stimulator unit can be used every day or every 48 hrs.

I AM OVER 50, AND HAVE POOR MUSCLE TONE.
CAN EMS HELP ME?

EMS works well for all age groups. If your muscles require a lot of improvements, the results seem even more dramatic.

CAN I LOSE WEIGHT WITH EMS?

To burn calories you must expand energy, as EMS is "Passive Exercise" this is not possible. Your Body Shaper muscle stim home unit is specifically designed for toning, tightening and firming slack muscles, and does this very well.

However, when electronic muscle stim (EMS) treatments are combined with our Weight loss products, you will lose weight while acquiring a slimmer, trimmer, firmer and toned figure.
