Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS): Muscle Tone and Body Care
Updated: Oct 29

YOU WORK OUT. BUT SOME MUSCLES DESERVE EXTRA ATTENTION.
Abdomen, waist, glutes, thighs. Everyone has areas they’d like to focus on.
What if your body-care routine included a treatment that stimulates your muscles while you rest?
EMS — ELECTRICAL MUSCLE STIMULATION.
Controlled electrical impulses cause selected muscles to contract without you having to exercise during the treatment.
It isn’t a substitute for physical activity, but an additional way to target muscle activation.
At The NOW Beauty Lab, we tailor the programme to your individual goals rather than following the same protocol for everyone.

WHEN IS EMS WORTH CONSIDERING?
When you want to give a particular muscle group some extra attention.
When you already exercise but are looking for another way to stimulate your muscles.
Or when you’re interested in a professional body treatment that doesn’t involve active exercise during the session.
EMS is used to activate muscles and support work on muscle tone. Any changes depend on the treatment protocol and your individual response.
You don’t need to start with several areas. Sometimes one is enough — the one that matters most to you.

ABDOMEN AND WAIST. THERE’S MORE TO IT THAN CENTIMETRES.
You can be happy with your weight and still want to give your abdominal muscles more attention.
EMS stimulates muscle contractions through electrical impulses, while your practitioner adjusts the intensity.
The treatment can be considered as a complement to regular physical activity.
It’s important to distinguish muscle stimulation from fat reduction: EMS does not guarantee weight loss or a smaller waist.
Our goal is to select appropriate muscle stimulation, not to make promises a treatment cannot deliver.

GLUTES AND THIGHS. A FOCUS ON MUSCLE TONE.
Not every body treatment is about reducing measurements.
Sometimes the goal is simply to give particular muscle groups more attention.
EMS uses electrical impulses to produce repeated muscle contractions.
Your practitioner adjusts electrode placement and stimulation intensity, taking into account the treatment area, your sensitivity and how your muscles respond.
NOT MAXIMUM POWER. THE RIGHT LEVEL OF STIMULATION.

MORE THAN JUST ABS AND GLUTES.
At The NOW Beauty Lab, EMS is also available for the muscles in your arms and back.
You can choose an individual area or consider a combined programme:
• Abdomen + waist.
• Thighs + glutes.
• Multiple body areas.
But treating more areas doesn’t automatically mean better results.
We select your programme according to your goals and what’s appropriate for your body.

YOU REST. YOUR MUSCLES CONTRACT.
During the treatment, your practitioner places electrodes on the selected areas and gradually adjusts the intensity of the electrical impulses.
You’ll feel rhythmic muscle contractions, sometimes accompanied by tingling or an unfamiliar sensation of tightness.
The intensity is tailored to you. There’s no need to tolerate pain or burning — tell your practitioner immediately if you experience discomfort.
You don’t need previous fitness experience. What matters is that the treatment is suitable for your health and individual needs.

ONE SESSION TO GET A FEEL FOR IT. WHAT COMES NEXT?
Your first visit allows you to experience the stimulation and see how your body responds.
If your goal is to work on muscle tone over time, your practitioner may recommend a course of treatments. The number of sessions and intervals are determined individually, and visible changes in body shape cannot be guaranteed.
EMS + PRESSOTHERAPY
Two technologies. Different approaches.
EMS causes muscle contractions. Pressotherapy uses sequential pneumatic compression of the tissues.
In some cases, the treatments can be combined if both are suitable for your needs and there are no contraindications.
NOT MORE TREATMENTS. A MORE THOUGHTFUL COMBINATION.

WANT TO TRY EMS BUT NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
At The NOW Beauty Lab, we begin by discussing your expectations, screening for contraindications and only then selecting a suitable programme.
EMS isn’t suitable for everyone. It must not be used with certain medical conditions, including implanted cardiac pacemakers. The treatment is not performed during pregnancy, and some other conditions require medical advice beforehand. Specific restrictions also depend on the device used.
We don’t promise a perfect figure after a few sessions. We offer a considered, individual approach to targeted muscle stimulation.
Tell us which area interests you: abdomen, waist, glutes, thighs, arms or back.
Send us a message on Instagram — we’ll help you explore whether EMS may be suitable for you and choose the right treatment.
YOUR GOAL. OUR PROFESSIONAL APPROACH.
