Weight Loss Toronto, Toronto Naturopathic, Weight Loss Clinic

Laser Medical Centre proposes the most effective passive program for weight loss and cellulite reduction. This program includes treatment using Electric Muscle Stimulator (EMS) and Endermologie System (Cellulite reduction machine). Combining these two methods can bring amazing results for a patient.

ELECTRIC MUSCLE STIMULATOR ( EMS )

This type of stimulation is characterized by a low volt stimulation targeted to stimulate motor nerves to cause a muscle contraction.

What is EMS ?

E.M.S. stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation. EMS is predominately used by doctors and physical therapists to prevent, or reduce, muscle atrophy. Atrophy is the weakening and loss of muscle tone, which is usually experienced after surgeries or injuries. EMS has proven to be an effective means of preventing muscle atrophy. Doctors also see EMS as a means of increasing blood flow to muscles, increasing range of motion, increasing muscle strength, as well as enhancing muscle endurance.

When a muscle contracts as a result of the localized electronic stimulation, the chemical changes taking place within the muscle are very similar to those that occur as a reaction to contraction during "normal" exercising. The chemical reactions which result from muscle contractions whether through active exercise or through passive EMS, utilize glycogen, fat and other nutrients stored in the muscle and enable an individual to tone, to strengthen and to shape muscle.

During an exercise, your brain sends a message down the spinal cord through the nerves with all the muscles you're using that causes them to relax and contract. This is called voluntary muscle action. Your brain is controlling the muscle.

How does EMS work?

Electrical muscle stimulation uses an outside electrical source that stimulates the nerves to send signals to your muscle to expand and contract. This is done by sending electrical current through self adhesive electrodes placed over the muscle. The current passes through your skin to the nerves in that area, causing the muscle to expand and contract. This allows you to train muscles that may normally have little activity. EMS can increase muscle hypertrophy (growth), endurance and strength. EMS may be used only for this or with regular weight training by aiding recovery and helping muscles grow and get stronger. EMS can increase body temperature, heart rate and metabolism (promoting energy and fat absorption from the body).

Will EMS Improve My Physical Appearance?

EMS is widely used by bodybuilders and other athletes as a supplement to strength training. EMS is used to increase muscle tone and endurance. Due to the increase of blood circulation, many individuals have experienced loss of fatty tissues and increase in muscle growth and strength. For best results, the EMS can be used together with our Endermologie system to promote the rapid loss of fat also with the rhythmic pumping of muscles, produced by the EMS unit; helps deliver nutrients and oxygen to the muscles. Concurrently, waste products such as lactic acid are pumped out of the muscles. This increased blood flow to the muscles cuts down on recovery time and promotes healthy muscle activity.

Why should I use the EMS and Endermologie?

Here at the Laser Medical Centre we are well known for achieving the best results for our clients. In our weight loss program we have combined two of our best equipments that work extremely well together for fat reduction. There is no need to deal with the frustrations and hardships of exercising and waiting forever to see results. Moreover, there is no need to take any chemical pills with many short-tem and long-tern side effects. There is a better and more efficient way that will help you to see results faster than going to the gym alone.

We offer the use of our Endermologie system which is the newest noninvasive treatment for fat and cellulite reduction. This safe, exciting, pain free treatment can give you dramatic improvement in your hips, thighs and buttocks. It even works for love handles and sagging abdomens, wherever you have the dimples and cottage cheese of cellulite. Since cellulite is resistant to diet, exercise, and even liposuction, this non-surgical, painless, effective, process is truly the best treatment for reshaping and contouring the most difficult areas of the body.

The patented Endermologie unit draws up a skin fold and rolls it, painlessly and deeply manipulating the underlying tissues to break up pockets of cellulite and stimulate circulation through all the skin layers. The increased blood and lymph flows bring fresh oxygen and nutrients to all the layers of the skin and even to the tissues below the skin. This improved circulation then flushes away the excess water, fats and cell wastes freed up by the massage. With this new Endermologie unit the technician can apply over 20 different beneficial procedures. The result is smooth, glowing skin, smaller measurements around, and drastically reduced cellulite!

In conjunction with the Endermologie treatments, the EMS-Electric Muscle Stimulator will help to strengthen the underlying muscles which are covered by fatty tissues. In the small time of approximately 30 minutes, EMS pads are placed on the area where muscle contraction occurs. The same as if you were to exercise normally but without you moving period!

During the EMS treatment there is an increase of blood circulation which increases metabolism therefore burning fat. You will notice a drastic increase in strength in those muscles in such a short period of time. This will build your endurance and eventually you will notice an increase in muscle mass.

It is very easy to understand how simple it is to achieve weight loss with these two machines. Whether you are reducing cellulite and sliming with Endermologie or increasing muscle strength with the EMS, these go hand in hand for the ultimate weight loss routine.
