Today, more and more talk about the benefits and stunning effect of such a procedure as myostimulation of the body. It is carried out using a special apparatus equipped with electrodes that act on the body with impulse currents, which leads to a reduction in muscles and the accumulation of heat in them. This ensures the normalization of metabolic processes, the splitting of fats, skin rejuvenation. Therefore, for women who want to get rid of the excess fat layer, the myostimulation of problem zones is especially urgent - what this is we will consider below.
The essence of the procedure
Myostimulator can affect any muscle group, and, according to physiotherapists, electrical impulses manage to "get" to all muscles, while the usual physical activities (running, walking, exercising ) involve not all muscles. It is believed that myostimulation of the abdomen and other parts of the body is a kind of fitness for the lazy.
Electric pulses of different duration are repeated at a certain frequency, so that the nerve endings cause the muscles to contract. Professional apparatus for figure correction have several program modes.
- Relaxation - the problem zone is prepared for muscle myostimulation.
- Electrolipolysis - provides a significant reduction in fat accumulation.
- Lymphatic drainage - allows you to remove from the body an excess of intercellular fluid along with toxins.
- Lifting - skin tightening.
Correctly performed procedure, or rather their complex, helps to reduce the waist and hips, remove cellulite. It should be noted that not every device for myostimulation of the body gives such an effect.
Types of myostimulants
Instruments for electrostimulation are classified as follows:
- Wireless devices - the cheapest and most advertised, compact, have convenient Velcro electrodes, work from batteries, are designed to carry out myostimulation at home. The minus of such devices is the impossibility to control the current - it changes spontaneously depending on the moisture of the skin. This can either lead to burns, or negate the effect of exposure. Similar devices are equipped with only 2 - 4 electrodes, which is ineffective. And their power is not enough to burn fat cells. The program modes described above are not available in wireless myostimulators. Most of these devices do not have a quality certificate.
- Stationary apparatus for myostimulation of the body and face - designed for semi-professional use, have 2 - 6 channels. More expensive models allow you to set the program mode or determine it automatically, and also provide the ability to adjust the current at each electrode. In the budget models, these functions are not available. Stationary instruments are not particularly effective in correcting the figure, but have proven themselves in the field of myostimulation of the neck and face.
- Professional devices are expensive and certified, they are used mainly in salons and medical institutions, they have up to 24 channels and produce high current (up to 100 milliamperes), so they require a high level of physiotherapy. Professional miostimulyatory widely used not only in cosmetology for the correction of the figure, but also in medicine for the treatment of osteochondrosis, joint diseases, restoration after burns, fractures, lesions of nerve endings, etc.
How not to hurt yourself?
Having decided to correct the figure by electric stimulation, it is important to contact a professional physiotherapist. Saving here, perhaps, is inappropriate and even dangerous, because cheap stimulants, in spite of advertising, are very ineffective in combating fatty deposits. And if you use them often, in order to increase the effect, you can hurt your health. Physiotherapists use professional devices - much more effective.
Before breast myostimulation, you should consult your doctor. For future mothers, this procedure is generally contraindicated - how does myostimulation affect pregnancy in the fetus, has not yet been clarified.
