Myostimulation - pros and cons. reviews

One of the services for weight loss, which is offered by beauty salons, is myostimulation. Everyone who seriously approached the process of losing weight and body shaping, heard about the miraculous effects of this procedure.

The principle of myostimulation is based on the excitation of nerve and muscle tissue by applying electrical impulses to the body, similar to the signals of the nervous system. An electric current is allowed through the body, impulses enter the brain, which causes the muscles to work, strain and contract, that is, turn away from the electric charge.

Otherwise, myostimulation is called electrostimulation.

The attractiveness of the procedure for a person lies in the fact that the procedure allows you to adjust the figure without exhausting exercise. Myostimulation is a kind of "passive fitness", but not everything is so simple. Consider the pros and cons of myostimulation in more detail.

Household and professional

Myostimulation devices can be divided into two large categories.

• Household. Cheap, ineffective, mostly Chinese-made. As a rule, have 2 or 4 channels and low power. Powered by batteries. A striking example is the butterfly miostimulator, various belts and the like.
• Professional. Devices are used mainly in salons and medical centers. There are registration certificates for these devices. This is a more serious technique that has been tested, it is safe for patients, although it has an increased power and an extensive network of channels and an electrode. Common professional devices are ESMA Profi devices. In addition to the myostimulation mode, professional devices have the following modes: electrolipolysis, lymphatic drainage (elimination of fat breakdown products). In household devices, these modes are absent.
