Electric muscle stimulation (EMS) has gained popularity recently due to its ability to increase muscular strength, improve sports performance, and help in rehabilitation. At Beverly Hills Med Spa, we offer cutting-edge EMS treatments that harness the power of electrical impulses to activate muscle contractions, leading to various health and fitness benefits.

Understanding Electric Muscle Stimulation

Electromyography (EMS) sends electrical impulses to muscles via skin electrodes. These impulses replicate the signals the central nervous system delivers to muscles during physical exercise, prompting them to contract. This involuntary muscle contraction can improve muscle tone, strength, and endurance.

The Science Behind EMS

During EMS sessions, the electrical impulses penetrate the muscle tissue, targeting both fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers. This comprehensive stimulation can effectively recruit a higher percentage of muscle fibers than traditional exercise alone, resulting in more significant muscle activation and growth.

Benefits of Electric Muscle Stimulation

Enhanced Muscle Strength: EMS can help individuals increase muscle strength, making it an ideal complement to traditional strength training programs.

Improved Athletic Performance: Athletes use EMS to supplement their training routines, as it can enhance performance by targeting specific muscle groups and improving muscle coordination.

Faster Recovery: EMS promotes blood circulation and reduces muscle soreness, allowing quicker recovery after intense workouts or injuries.

Safety and Effectiveness

At Beverly Hills Med Spa, safety is our number one priority. Our skilled specialists closely monitor each EMS treatment to guarantee maximum efficacy while minimizing damage risk. When used correctly, EMS is generally safe for most people but may not be appropriate for everyone, especially those with specific medical conditions or implanted medical devices.
