Mechanism of Action
How It Works
HIFEM uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate supramaximal muscle contractions—far beyond what you can achieve voluntarily. These rapid contractions force the muscle fibers to adapt by increasing strength, tone, and muscle density, while also promoting fat breakdown (lipolysis) in the treated area.
