Of all the treatments on our menu, Hi-EMT is probably the one that raises the most eyebrows when clients hear the numbers involved. Here's what's actually happening in a session.
The technology, explained
Hi-EMT uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to trigger powerful, supramaximal muscle contractions — contractions far more intense than a muscle can achieve through voluntary movement alone, delivered through an applicator placed over the target muscle group.
Why the numbers sound so high
A single session can trigger thousands of these contractions, which is often compared to the effect of an intense workout for the targeted muscle group — the technology is simply able to activate muscle fibers more thoroughly than voluntary contraction alone.
How it's different from standard EMS
While both technologies use electrical or electromagnetic stimulation, Hi-EMT delivers a higher intensity designed to trigger deeper, more powerful contractions — which is why it's often positioned as the more advanced option for clients focused on muscle definition.
It's not about replacing the gym — it's about giving specific muscle groups a level of activation that's difficult to reach through voluntary exercise alone.
Hi-EMT at a glance:
- Commonly used on the abdomen, glutes and arms
- A single session is roughly ~30 minutes
- Often combined with cavitation or RF
- Programs typically involve a series of sessions
