Electro
Stimulation |
The Electrostimulation is a method used
in aesthetic medicine to improve the muscular tone
giving electrical impulses to the muscles.
The biological effects of electric current result from a decrease
in membrane potential.
The most important effects of this action are trophic, thermal,
analgesic, chemical, and increased blood supply ( associated
with passive vasodilatation).
Electrostimulation fulfills an important function for favouring
fat consumption and figure
shaping..
Fat consumption is promoted because muscle fibers, regardless
of the applied current, are "forced" to consume
energy substrates during the forced contraction to which they
are subjected;
The possibility of shaping up the figure is also favoured
since muscle heads may be selectively hypertrophied.
Passive hypertrophy of the shoulder muscles may contribute
to reshaping the silhouette in case of a gynoid habitus, while
the hypertrophy of the gluteal muscles or of the rectus femoris
muscle may result in an actual lifting for the trochanter
regions, all this occurring with the consumption of NEFAs
coming from the area subjected to infrared irradiation. |
