The Body Tone at Rewind Aesthetics, Concierge Medicine, Dermatology, and Trichology by Formula Health in Lexington, Kentucky, is a cutting-edge machine designed for muscle stimulation and enhancement. It uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate involuntary muscle contractions, thereby improving muscle tone and strength.

This non-invasive treatment aims to mimic the effects of a high-intensity workout, targeting specific muscle groups and delivering results in a shorter timeframe. It is particularly popular for improving the appearance of the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs, offering an effective solution for individuals looking to enhance their fitness regimen without extensive physical exertion.

BIOELECTRIC MUSCLE STIMULATION:

Muscle Toning
Induces 20,000 muscular contractions per session.

Quick Procedure
12 phases in 30 minutes to maximize muscle confusion and optimize results.

Customized Treatment
8 individual applicators can be applied across different areas of the body (abdomen, buttocks, thighs, biceps, etc.) for simultaneous use.

No Downtime
Patients may resume normal activities immediately.

The Body Tone delivers an immediate effect with continuous improvement over time.

HOW DOES BODY TONE WORK?

Body Tone works by using bioelectric muscle stimulation (commonly referred to as EMS or NMES), which utilizes controlled electrical pulses delivered through skin electrodes to depolarize motor nerves and induce skeletal muscle contractions.

Research conducted by the U.S. National Institutes of Health suggests that EMS appears to be a safe and effective modality for enhancing physical fitness in healthy individuals.

• Small electrical pulses pass through the skin to the motor nerves → muscle fibers contract.
• The recruitment pattern differs from voluntary contractions: impulses are more synchronous and tend to recruit fast-twitch fibers strongly, which can lead to rapid fatigue.
• Parameters (frequency, pulse width, amplitude, duty cycle) determine contraction strength, comfort, and whether the goal is pain relief, muscle strengthening, or endurance.

THE BODY TONE BENEFITS:

• Improved Strength and Tone:  Regular stimulation can lead to stronger and more toned muscles.
• Enhanced Blood Flow:  Electrical stimulation can increase blood circulation in the muscles.
• Pain Relief:  It provides a non-pharmacological way to manage pain.
• Preserved Muscle Mass:  For immobilized individuals, it helps prevent muscle atrophy.
• Rehabilitation:  EMS is used to help patients regain muscle strength and function after injuries or surgery, especially those who are immobilized.
• Pain Management:  It can effectively block pain signals from reaching the brain, providing relief from acute and chronic pain.
• Sports and Fitness:  Athletes may use EMS to enhance muscle function, prevent injuries, or speed up recovery.
• Muscle Atrophy and Weakness:  EMS can help prevent muscle loss and maintain muscle mass in bedridden patients or those with debilitating conditions.
• Tissue Repair:  Low-level electrical currents may help promote cell activity, accelerate healing, and reduce swelling.
