EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation. It's a technology that uses electrical impulses to cause muscle contractions.
For what purpose:
Devices use low-level microcurrent impulses to stimulate facial nerves.
When the nerves are engaged, they send a message to the brain. Neurons in the brain then return the message to the surrounding muscle fibers, causing them to expand and contract.
This expansion and contraction is precisely what your body does when you’re working out. When you use an EMS device on your face, think of it as every muscle group doing tiny crunches. The result is a toned look, with skin that’s tighter and smoother. One of our favorite parts is that the benefits are immediate with no recovery time.
How it works:
You have 43 muscles in your face. In order for them to stay toned, they need to be active—and that’s where EMS comes in. As your facial muscles get their workout from an EMS machine, your body responds by increasing the output of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
ATP is the primary chemical energy source for muscular functions, enhancing overall strength and flexibility. Your body also accesses ATP for cellular functions, driving skin cell turnover and renewal for firmness and suppleness.
Consistent EMS use can give your jawline and cheeks a more distinct, chiseled, and contoured appearance. EMS can also boost your overall cellular metabolism, increase blood circulation for a healthy glow, and support your natural lymphatic system processes to flush toxins out of the body.
Additionally, the firming and lifting of each set of muscles reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while restoring the skin’s youthful elasticity.
Basically, as your collagen production accelerates, you benefit from all the goodness it brings.
