Electrostimulation + IR

Fat burning by electrical impulses

Infrared electrostimulation is a treatment that combines electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) with infrared therapy. It uses electrical impulses to contract muscles, similar to exercise, while infrared light penetrates the skin to generate heat and promote healing. This dual approach is used for muscle strengthening, pain relief, and body shaping. 

 

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS):

  • EMS involves applying electrical currents to the body to stimulate muscles.
  • These currents mimic the signals sent by the brain during exercise, causing muscles to contract and relax.
  • This can lead to muscle toning, strengthening, and even fat burning, as the muscle contractions require energy.
  • EMS is often used in rehabilitation, fitness, and pain management. 

Infrared Therapy:

  • Infrared light, particularly near-infrared (NIR) and far-infrared (FIR), can penetrate the skin and warm tissues. 
  • This heat can increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and relieve muscle pain. 
  • It can also help to regenerate and repair injured tissues, according to News-Medical. 

Infrared Electrostimulation:

  • When combined, EMS and infrared therapy can offer a synergistic effect.
  • The infrared heat can help prepare the muscles for electrical stimulation, potentially improving the effectiveness of the EMS.
  • The increased blood flow and reduced inflammation from infrared therapy can also aid in muscle recovery and pain relief.
  • This approach is used in various applications, including:

Muscle strengthening and toning: EMS helps build muscle mass, while infrared can aid in muscle recovery.

Pain relief: Infrared heat can soothe sore muscles, and EMS can help to release endorphins, which are natural pain relievers.

Body shaping and cellulite reduction: EMS can help to tone muscles, and infrared can help to improve circulation and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Rehabilitation: Infrared electrostimulation can be used to help patients recover from injuries and surgeries.
