What is the difference between HIFEM and EMS?
HIFEM
• The effective penetration depth of HIFEM machine is 8cm, covering the whole neural network and driving the contraction of the whole muscle layer.
• The effect of fat apoptosis and "super muscle exercise" can never be achieved by physical exercise.
• Studies in the United States have shown that the effect of four treatments is the best.
• The treatment experience is good.
EMS
• Most of the energy of the current is concentrated in the surface layer, only a small part can reach the muscle.
• Feeling a slight tingling or contraction.
• It takes 40 treatments to produce a visible change.
• The intensity of treatment cannot be increased due to the risk of pain and burns.
HIFEM VS EMS |

Treatment
intensity
|
The electric field is generated in the subcutaneous muscle tissue without contact with the medium. |
Electric current is passed directly through the skin and need to contact the medium (gel pad). Electrodes are usually disposable. |
Penetrability
|
HIFEM has a great penetration depth, covering the whole neural network and driving the contraction of the whole muscle layer.
|
Most od the energy of the current is concentrated in the surface layer, and only a small part reaches the muscle. |
Customer
type
|
Due to the deep penetration, HIFEM suitable for all types of customers. |
Suitable for thin patients. The superficial current cannot reach the muscles of patients with medium fat layers. |
Physiological response |
The effects of fat apoptosis and "super muscle exercise" are never achieved by physical exercise. |
Feeling a slight tingling or contraction, equivalent to mild physical exercise. |
Course of treatment |
Studies in the United States have shown that four treatments are the best |
It takes 40 treatments to produce a visible change |
treatment solutions |
Regularly changing the frequency to obtain effective stimulation and tissue response. |
Fixed frequency treatment. There is no effect of removing waste products or increasing blood flow, causing muscle fatigue and limiting efficacy. |
Treatment intensity |
High-energy comfort treatment. |
The intensity is low due to the risk of pain and burns. |
Treatment risk |
The treatment is completely painless. HIFEM does not activate pain receptors and there is no risk of burns. The side effects are limited to muscle fatigue. |
There is obvious pain, the treatment activates the pain receptor. FDA warns of electric shock, burns, contusion, irritation and pain. |
