Destroy fat and build muscle, all while you sit back and relax at the Maercks Institute

Losing weight and building muscle can be difficult, especially when we have busy schedules. Yet for many people, having a leaner, more toned physique is extremely desirable. It can be frustrating to look in the mirror and not see what you want to see, especially if you’re already exercising and eating well. At the Maercks Institute, we have a non-surgical, non-invasive, painless device to help you reach your fitness goals.

What does the device do?

This device emits both radiofrequency and high-intensity electromagnetic energy. Together, these energies simultaneously burn fat and build muscle. The device is placed on the targeted area of your body. The radiofrequency energy brings the temperature in your fat cells up high enough to destroy them. The body flushes them out naturally.

Meanwhile, the high-intensity electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) contracts the muscles in the area. The stress on the muscles is very intense, much higher than in a usual workout. This forces the muscle to build more muscle fibers and cells (building the muscle itself).

What does the treatment feel like? Is there recovery time?

The treatments are not painful, but they may feel intense. You lie down while the applicators are applied over the treatment area for 30 minutes. You will feel a heating sensation, comparable to hot stone massage.

Once the procedure is completed, you can immediately get back to your usual activities and routine. There is no downtime or recovery needed, but your fat cells and muscles have been dramatically affected.

How long will it take to see the results?

It will take some time to see the full effects of the treatment because your body needs a chance to metabolize and get rid of the destroyed fat cells. This is a natural activity and it can’t be sped up.

There are four treatments to complete the full procedure, each scheduled 5-10 days apart. In three months after the last treatment, your body will have completed flushing out the dead fat cells. This is the time that you will be able to see the full results of the treatments--a more toned, sculpted, leaner, and attractive physique.

Who is a candidate for this treatment?

This device has a wide appeal. You may be a candidate if you fit any of the following categories:

You have a BMI of up to 35
You are slimmer, but would like to build muscle
You are trying to reduce stubborn pockets of fat
You would like to reduce fat generally on your body
You want to build muscle generally on your body
You want a slimmer, more toned, and contoured physique
