Faradics treatment or electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) uses the application of electrical pulses, which are applied on the body to stimulate the muscles to contract resulting in a tightening and toning effect.
Benefits
- Increased circulation brings fresh oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and removes waste products thus improving the appearance and functioning of the muscle
- Muscular contraction improves the tone of the muscle
- Sensory nerve ending are initially stimulated producing a tingling sensation at the beginning of the treatment
- Motor nerves are stimulated resulting in muscle contraction
- Blood supply increases therefore bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the area
- Waste products are more efficiently removed from the area
- Vasodilation of the blood vessels improves the colour of the skin under the pads
- Muscle contractions improve the lymphatic circulation in the area, which assists with the removal of the waste products
