Some certain conditions and circumstances may disqualify someone from being a suitable candidate for EMS body sculpting. We'll discuss all of these during your intake session to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals interested in this treatment.
Here are some common disqualifiers:
Pregnancy: EMS body sculpting is not recommended for pregnant women due to the lack of research on its effects on fetal development.
Cardiac Conditions: Individuals with heart problems, including those with pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices, should avoid EMS, as the electrical impulses could interfere with these devices.
Severe Neurological Disorders: People with conditions like epilepsy or severe neurological disorders might be at increased risk during EMS sessions.
Metal Implants: If you have metal implants near the treatment area, EMS may not be suitable due to potential interactions between the electrical currents and the metal.
Skin Conditions: Open wounds, severe ache, or other skin conditions in the area to be treated might be exacerbated by EMS.
Acute Illnesses: Conditions like fever, severe systemic infections, or acute inflammatory processes can be contraindications.
Thrombosis and Severe Circulatory Disorders: EMS can potentially exacerbate these conditions.
Cancer: Patients with cancer or a history of cancer should consult with their doctor before considering EMS
