What is EMSlim all about?

EMSlim is based on an applicator that simultaneously emits RF and HI-EMT.

Due to the designed RF heating, the muscle temperature quickly raises by several degrees. This prepares the muscles for exposure to stress similar to what a warm up activity does before a workout.

In less than 4 minutes, the temperature in subcutaneous fat reaches levels that cause apoptosis (i.e. fat cells are permanently damaged and slowly removed from the body. Clinical studies show an average reduction of 30% in subcutaneous fat by the non touching RF energy emitted.Bypassing the brain limitations, HI-EMT energy contracts the muscle fibres in the area at intensities

that are not achievable during voluntary workouts. Extreme stress forces the muscles to adapt, resulting in an increase in the number and growth of muscle fibres and cells.
