Nowadays, the trend in medicine and cosmetic surgery is towards non-invasive procedures with effective and safe devices, without any downtime or recovery.
The ranges of treatments and interventions on the body and figure are not immune to this revolution in morals. It is already possible to "freeze" or "crystallize" your fat using cryolipolysis techniques (using techniques such as Cristal by Deleo or Coolsculpting by Zeltiq-Allergan). Now, you can also have your muscles toned by a machine specially designed for this purpose and in just a few minutes. These latest generation devices use magnetic muscle stimulation (MMS) using HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electro-Magnetic) technology: these are EMSculpt by BTL, Cristal Fit by Deleo or CoolTone by Zeltiq-Allergan.
Dr. Meyer, a specialist physician based in Geneva at the Clinique de la Croix d'Or, sums it up succinctly: "Patients looking for better muscle definition will choose SMM technology, while patients looking for fat elimination will turn to cryolipolysis."
Of course, these technologies can complement and combine each other, just like EMS (Electro Myo Stimulation) machines such as the Miha Bodytec for example, which will simultaneously solicit 8 muscle groups and recruit 90% of the targeted muscle fibers in 20 minutes. To date, the CoolTone, CristalFit or EMSculpt devices are there to help firm up muscles in three areas of the body: the abs, buttocks and thighs, and soon the arms with a dedicated handpiece .
You may need to get back into shape or have cryolipolysis sessions beforehand to get real results. In fact, the most spectacular results have been seen in patients without massive excess fat. As a reminder, after 4 sessions the average gain is +16% in the muscles treated.
Typically, patients will do 4 to 6 treatments over two to three weeks .
