Review of EMSlim on my arms
Photos included in review.
This uses tech that is integrated in some physical therapy sessions (EMS-TENS) and that is often integrated into intense athlete training like triathlon training, but the delivery of the tech by these machines at the spa is more potent at muscle building.
Although pricing here is comparable to other medical spas offering the HI-EMS body sculpting, the client care and ambiance here is what sets this location above the others.
Chris was accommodating, responsive, sweet & likeable. I appreciated his flexibility in showing me the spa and explaining the differences in the way the machines worked (Emsculpt NEO using patented EMS patterns along w fat-burning radiofrequency vs EMSlim - a Korean machine using similar HI-EMS tech but without RF for fat-burning). I appreciated that he noted that for my desired outcome, I don't necessarily need to go the higher cost of the Emsculpt NEO and that the lower priced EMSlim would work well since I'm already low in fat & fit.
Immediately after session, no soreness. Make sure to try to have as much contact w the paddles as you can (my arms are very small, 100-lb female, so I had to position myself to make sure to maximize contact).
It is one day post-session, no soreness. No noticeable change in strength while working out. This would be a great addition to body sculpting regime if you can afford it; can tell it makes a difference but definitely requires multiple sessions. I'd imagine to maintain, you'd need to return at regular intervals throughout the year.
Overall, I recommend coming here for you spa and body...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI really enjoyed visiting! This is a pretty cool use of infrared lights(sorry if my terminology is wrong) - the most interesting facet of this establishment is the ab set up, you lay on a bed and they place basically a blanket of light plates on your stomach and it essentially burns your fat in that spot! Then thereās the infrared saunaš 15 minutes inside and youāre sweating a marathon! Itās very very comfortable and was initially what I was looking for. Those ab plates are so crazy though, im about average size with small love handles and one visit literally sculpted them! Not by a lot, but thatās why I suggest making multiple visits because itās definitely not a one and done gig, also your diet and physical health determines how your results stay! - I used a groupon, so use that if youāre on the fence. The staff is amazing and very nice, I really suggest you go especially considering there is a parking lot there and some parking nearby for it...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI am so happy that I found Chris and San Diego Body Scultping. I run but ran too many races last year so while I recover from a foot injury, I want to regain and maintain the muscle tone in my upper legs. Chris explained to me the different EMS machines and procedures. I appreciate that he has a variety of equipment to customize the experience. We worked together to find the perfect treatment. Within the first two treatments, I saw and felt results. Toning, lifting and smoothing..more than running can do. I just finished my first series of visits. I will be signing up for more. On top of the results, Chris is great. His work space is comfortable and relaxing. Overall, itās a...
