Up until now it has been impossible to treat visceral abdominal fat, the fat that is interior to the abdominal muscles and surrounds our intestines. Other than by changing diet and losing weight, there was no way to remove this fat. Liposuction, CoolSculpting and other non-invaisive treatments could not remove this interior abdominal fat. UNTIL NOW!
A recent study, published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology March 2021, showed that high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) treatments can target and reduce visceral adipose tissue by an average of 14.3%.
HIFEM treatments involve placing pads onto the abdominal area to be treated, over a protective adhesive, that then directly stimulate the muscles to contract. The externally stimulated muscle contraction is much greater than can be achieved through exercise alone, with much longer and harder contractions. It is theorized that the energy utilized to fuel these strong muscle contractions comes from the stored calories in the abdominal visceral fat stores, thereby diminishing the visceral fat.
What Is A Treatment Like?
The treatment is likened to an intense physical exercise session, while lying comfortably on a relaxing massage type table. You will even have your own "trainer", a medical assistant who will monitor your session. Though the exercise is intense, it is not painful, and level of intensity is as tolerated. Sessions last 45 minutes and it is recommended to complete 6-8 session once or twice a week.
What Kind of Results Will I See?
After your first session you will notice that the area treated is noticeably stronger, usually even by the next day. The muscles treated will also begin to get physically larger and stronger. This visible strengthening and enlargement will continue throughout the training period and will continue to improve for several months after the last treatment session. The diminishment of the abdominal visceral fat will also occur gradually over the treatment session time and will continue for 2 months following the last treatment session. It was also noted in this study that subcutaneous fat also decreased from the treatment alone.
