MagnaShape™
EMS Body Sculpting
What is MagnaShape™?
MagnaShape™ utilizes Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology, a groundbreaking method designed to reshape and tone the body.
This technology sends low-level electrical impulses to targeted muscle groups, causing them to contract and relax similarly to how they would during exercise.
The result is effectively toned muscles, reduced fat, and an improved overall body appearance.
MagnaShape™: Non-Invasive Body Sculpting
Unlike traditional body sculpting methods that involve surgical procedures like liposuction, MagnaShape™ is non-invasive. This means no downtime, no pain, and a significantly lower cost compared to surgery.
The Science Behind MagnaShape™
The science of MagnaShape™ is based on its ability to mimic natural muscle contractions, just like those that occur during exercise. By applying electrical impulses directly to the muscles, MagnaShape™ enhances strength and endurance. This method, originally used in physical therapy for rehabilitation, is now adapted for aesthetic body sculpting and contouring purposes.
6 Benefits of MagnaShape™
MagnaShape™ offers a comprehensive solution for body sculpting, providing several key benefits:
Muscle Toning and Strengthening
MagnaShape™ specializes in inducing deep muscle contractions, enhancing muscle density and definition. This technology effectively targets specific muscle groups, achieving a more sculpted physique.Targeted Fat Reduction
One of the primary benefits of MagnaShape™ is its ability to reduce fat in specific areas. The electrical stimulation accelerates metabolism in muscle tissues, burning fat more efficiently and allowing for precise shaping and contouring.Improved Blood Circulation
MagnaShape™ improves blood circulation, promoting better oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues. This enhances overall skin health and appearance while reducing swelling and water retention.Enhanced Muscle Recovery
Combining MagnaShape™ with other treatments like cryotherapy can enhance muscle recovery. This synergy reduces muscle soreness and speeds up recovery, benefiting athletes and those looking to improve recovery time.Cellulite Reduction
MagnaShape™ helps reduce the appearance of cellulite by tightening and toning underlying muscles, resulting in a more even and toned skin texture.Non-Invasive and Safe
MagnaShape™ is a non-invasive and safer alternative to surgical procedures, with no need for anesthesia, incisions, or recovery time. The treatment is well-tolerated with minimal risks, offering a convenient option for aesthetic enhancements without surgery.

Here are some general expectations for muscle mass gains and fat loss with MagnaShape™:
Muscle Mass Gains: MagnaShape Pro™ induces powerful muscle contractions that surpass the intensity of regular voluntary exercise. Many clinical studies have demonstrated an average increase in muscle mass of up to 19% in treated areas following a series of MagnaShape™ sessions. Specific muscle groups such as the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs can exhibit enhanced muscle definition and toning.
Fat Reduction: The intense muscle contractions triggered by MagnaShape™ require significant energy, leading to localized fat burning. Many studies suggest an average reduction in fat of up to 20% in the treated area after completing a series of MagnaShape™ treatments. The combination of increased muscle mass and reduced fat contributes to improved body contour and definition.
Overall Body Composition: MagnaShape™ can contribute to a more sculpted appearance and streamlined body composition. While the primary focus is on muscle building and fat reduction in targeted areas, some individuals may experience overall improvements in body composition and aesthetics.
Sustained Long-Term Results: Results from MagnaShape™ are typically long-lasting, particularly with ongoing maintenance treatments. Sustaining a healthy lifestyle with regular physical activity and a balanced diet can help maintain and enhance the results achieved with MagnaShape™.
It's important to recognize that individual outcomes can vary, and multiple treatment sessions (usually spaced apart) are often recommended to achieve optimal results. Consulting with a qualified healthcare provider specializing in body contouring treatments like MagnaShape Pro can provide personalized insights tailored to your specific needs and goals. They can also address any specific questions or concerns you may have regarding the potential outcomes of MagnaShape™ for your body transformation journey.
MagnaShape™ is not a weight loss program nor is it an alternative to eating right and exercise.
Please make sure to consult your own qualified healthcare provider prior to starting any treatment regime to determine if MagnaShape™ is suitable for you.
Electromagnetic treatments like MagnaShape™, which use focused electromagnetic energy to induce muscle contractions, are generally safe for many individuals. However, certain people should exercise caution or avoid these treatments altogether. Here are some considerations:
Pregnant Women: Pregnant women should avoid MagnaShape Pro™ or other electromagnetic treatments unless specifically cleared by their healthcare provider. The effects of these treatments on pregnancy are not well studied, so it's safer to refrain from using them during this time.
People with Metal Implants or Devices: Individuals with certain metal implants or devices in the treatment area (such as pacemakers, defibrillators, or other implanted electronic devices) should avoid electromagnetic treatments like MagnaShape™. The electromagnetic field could interfere with the functioning of these devices.
People with Pacemakers: Individuals with pacemakers should not undergo MagnaShape™ or similar electromagnetic treatments due to the potential for interference with the pacemaker's operation, which could pose serious health risks.
People with Certain Medical Conditions: Those with specific medical conditions, such as epilepsy or a history of seizures, should consult with a healthcare professional before undergoing MagnaShape Pro™ or similar electromagnetic treatments. The electromagnetic stimulation could potentially trigger seizures in susceptible individuals.
Skin Conditions or Sensitivities: Individuals with certain skin conditions or sensitivities may need to use caution with electromagnetic treatments like MagnaShape Pro™. It's important to discuss any skin concerns with a qualified provider before starting these treatments.
Recent Surgical Procedures: Individuals who have undergone recent surgical procedures in the treatment area should consult with their healthcare provider before starting MagnaShape Pro™ or similar treatments to ensure safety.
Specific Areas of Concern: Some areas of the body may be more sensitive or prone to complications with electromagnetic treatments. For instance, treatment around the reproductive organs or certain sensitive tissues may require careful consideration and consultation with a healthcare professional.
Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional before undergoing any new treatment, especially if you have underlying health conditions or concerns. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current health status.
Preparation Guidelines for MagnaShape™ EMS Body Sculpting Treatment
Two Days Before Treatment
Avoid Excessive Training: Refrain from intense exercise 2 days before and after your treatments to allow your muscles to relax and repair.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to help your body efficiently flush out fat deposits and toxins. Aim for at least 1.5 liters of water per day.
Avoid Alcohol: Abstain from alcohol consumption, as it causes your liver to prioritize metabolizing alcohol over fat, which can hinder your results.
Healthy Diet: Maintain a low-calorie, low-carbohydrate, low-fat, and low-sugar diet 24-48 hours before treatment. This ensures your body can fully utilize the triglycerides released during the fat cavitation process.
On The Day of Treatment
No Caffeine or Sugary Drinks: Avoid caffeine, diuretics, and sugary beverages.
Remove Metal Jewelry: Take off any metal jewelry before your treatment.
Stay Hydrated: Drink some water just before and shortly after your treatment.
Light Meals: Do not eat a heavy meal within 2 hours of the treatment.
Prepare your self for Photos - At home, take your own before and after photos before and after every treatment. This will help you visually track your progress.
MagnaShape™ EMS Body Sculpting Treatment: Post-Treatment Care
Hydrate
For optimal results from your MagnaShape Pro™ EMS Body Sculpting Treatment, it’s crucial to stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water assists your liver and lymphatic system in removing broken-down fat and accelerating the elimination of toxins. We recommend consuming 1.5 to 2 liters of water daily for 3 days post-treatment.
Avoid Alcohol
Refrain from consuming alcohol for 3 days after your treatment. Your liver will be focused on processing the broken-down fat, and alcohol consumption will interfere with this process as it requires priority processing by the liver.
Exercise
Engage in 30 minutes of light cardio immediately after your session to stimulate your lymphatic and urinary systems, aiding in the continued elimination of fat. Activities like brisk walking, cycling, or swimming are ideal. Perform these exercises daily for at least 3 days following your treatment. If you are also incorporating EMS Body Sculpting, this cardio is sufficient.
Diet
Maintain a low-calorie intake by reducing carbohydrates, fats, and sugars for at least 3 days after your treatment. Opt for nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and lean meats. For sustained results, continue following a balanced diet.
Avoid Strength Training
Avoid excessive strength training on the targeted areas for 2 days post-treatment to allow your muscles time to repair and recover.
Avoid Hot Showers, Saunas & Steam Rooms
Avoid hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms on the day of your treatment. Increased blood circulation from these activities can exacerbate warming, tingling, itching, or redness immediately after your session.
Lymphatic Drainage
Consider a lymphatic massage to enhance circulation and facilitate the movement of newly released triglycerides and toxins through your lymphatic system. This can help improve the efficiency of your body’s natural detoxification process.
