Electromagnetic Muscle Stimulation

Dr. Rapaport recently co-authored an article in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology regarding electromagnetic muscle stimulation, or EMMS.

EMMS for toning and firming

EMMS devices such as CoolTone have been FDA-cleared for strengthening, toning, and firming the muscles of the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. EMMS devices create a magnetic field that induces a current into the muscles, which continuously contracts the muscles at a rate and strength impossible to achieve with exercise alone.

Dr. Rapaport’s co-authored article reports that EMMS non-invasive body contouring procedures are increasingly popular, stating, “Recent consumer surveys indicate that body sculpting is the most frequently considered aesthetic treatment.” There are a number of body contouring procedures available, each utilizing different technology to achieve the end result of a firm, toned physique. EMMS is one of the most effective ways to do this.

Safe and effective

The safety and effectiveness of EMMS devices such as CoolTone have been proven with multiple clinical studies. Studies show that the device contracts the muscles, but has no effect on the surrounding bone, fat or other tissue, making it safe for use. Studies have also shown CoolTone to be effective in improving the muscle tone in the abdomen and buttocks. Overall patient satisfaction rate is very high, at 85%.

Patients were surveyed who received four CoolTone treatment sessions to the abdomen and/or buttocks over a two-week period, with no consecutive treatment days, and returned for follow-up visits four weeks after the final treatment. The great majority of patients reported being satisfied or very satisfied with treatment results, including 78% of patients feeling their self-confidence improved, and over 77% feeling happier with their own appearance. Over 80% of patients felt stronger and over 60% felt that their athletic performance improved. 97% also reported they felt motivated to work out and maintain the results.

On the forefront of the cutting edge of aesthetics technology

Dr. Rapaport is proud to be a part of the group of doctors who study the very latest breakthroughs in aesthetic medicine, using the cutting edge of technology to achieve the goals of their clients. As the article states, “Overall, these findings are indicative of the evolution of the aesthetics field, with greater interest and acknowledgement of how treatments affect the overall well-being of patients rather than purely visual aesthetic improvements measured with clinically validated scales.”
