Introduction
Facial muscles are responsible for a wide range of facial expressions, such
as smiling, frowning, and raising eyebrows. As we age, these muscles tend
to lose tone and elasticity, which can result in sagging skin and wrinkles.
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a
non-invasive technique that involves
using electrical impulses to stimulate
muscle contractions. In recent years, it
has become a popular method for toning
facial muscles and reducing the signs of
aging.
What is Electrical Muscle
Stimulation (EMS)?
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a
form of therapy that uses low-level
electrical currents to stimulate muscles.
It is commonly used in physical therapy
to help athletes and injured patients recover muscle strength and
mobility. EMS devices are also used in the beauty industry to improve
facial muscle tone and lift sagging skin. EMS devices work by sending
electrical impulses to the muscles, causing them to contract and relax.
This stimulation is meant to mimic the natural contractions of the
muscles, leading to improved muscle tone and a more lifted appearance.
Using EMS devices for facial toning and lifting has become increasingly
popular due to its non-invasive nature and the promise of quick results.
Toning Facial Muscles with EMS
One significant benefit of EMS on facial muscles is that it helps to define
the jawline and cheeks. By toning and strengthening the muscles in these
areas, you can achieve a more contoured and sculpted appearance.
Several studies have shown that EMS can be effective in toning facial
muscles. A 2017 study published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser
Therapy found that EMS was effective in improving facial muscle tone
and reducing the appearance of wrinkles in study participants. Another
study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science found
that EMS was effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and
wrinkles in the eye area.
Improving Circulation and Skin Health
Another potential benefit of EMS for facial muscles is the electrical
impulses also support the natural lymphatic, which flushes toxins out of
the body. EMS has the ability to improve circulation, and to increase
blood flow to the muscles, which can improve the delivery of oxygen and
nutrients to the skin.
Consistent use of EMS can reduce the appearance of fine lines and
wrinkles, restore skin's youthful elasticity, and enhance overall cellular
metabolism.
Several studies have shown that EMS can be effective in improving skin
health. A 2018 study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology
found that EMS was effective in improving skin texture and reducing
fine lines and wrinkles. Another study published in the Journal of
Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology found that EMS was effective in
improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of sagging skin.
How EMS Works
EMS devices work by sending electrical impulses to the muscles, causing
them to contract. These contractions are similar to the ones that occur
during exercise, but with EMS, the muscles can contract more rapidly
and with greater intensity.
The electrical impulses are delivered through electrodes that are placed on
the skin near the muscles being stimulated. The frequency, intensity, and
duration of the electrical impulses can be adjusted depending on the
desired effect.
When the muscles contract, they require more energy to perform the
movement, which leads to an increase in blood flow and oxygenation to
the area. This increased blood flow can help to reduce inflammation and
promote healing.
Beautiva ACE - EMS and Facial Muscles
When using the Beautiva ACE EMS mode for facial toning and lifting,
the EMS works by sending electrical impulses to the muscles, which
cause them to contract and relax, mimicking the natural movement of
the muscles. This process helps to tone and strengthen the muscles,
making them more defined.
The electrical impulses can also help to increase blood flow and
oxygenation to the area, which can promote collagen production and
improve skin texture and appearance.
Beautiva ACE - Targeted Muscle Stimulation
The Beautiva ACE has 5 probes contained in a 4cm2 working area
therefore, the EMS allows for targeted muscle stimulation, meaning that
specific muscle groups can be focused on during each session. This is
particularly useful for facial muscles. By targeting specific muscles, EMS
can help improve their strength and tone, leading to a more sculpted and
contoured appearance.
Understanding Adenosine Triphosphate
What is Adenosine Triphosphate?
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that provides energy for
cellular processes in the body. ATP is essential for muscle contraction,
and its depletion can lead to muscle fatigue and reduced performance.
The Role of Adenosine Triphosphate in Collagen
Fibres
ATP plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of
collagen fibres. It is involved in the
synthesis, assembly, and cross-
linking of collagen fibres. ATP also
plays a role in the turnover and
degradation of collagen fibres.
The Role of Adenosine
Triphosphate in Elastin
Fibres
ATP also plays a vital role in maintaining the elasticity and flexibility of
elastin fibres. It is involved in the synthesis and assembly of elastin fibres.
ATP also plays a role in the turnover and degradation of elastin fibres.
The Role of
Adenosine
Triphosphate in
Muscle Contraction
ATP is essential for muscle
contraction, as it provides
the energy needed for the
muscle fibres to slide past
each other. During muscle
contraction, ATP is broken down into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and
inorganic phosphate (Pi). This breakdown releases energy that is used to
power the movement of the muscle fibres. The body must constantly
produce ATP to maintain muscle contraction during exercise.
Does Electrical Muscle Stimulation Deplete
Adenosine Triphosphate?
There has been debate over potential depletion of
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during electrical
muscle stimulation (EMS). Some studies suggest
that EMS may lead to ATP depletion, while
others have found no significant impact on ATP
levels. The debate surrounding this topic has led
to confusion…but….
There is a solution…..
Enter the BOOST .3 Microcurrent!
Beautiva ACE - EMS and BOOST .3 Microcurrent
Therapy
How the BOOST .3 Works
The BOOST .3 at 0.3Hz works by stimulating the mitochondria in the
cells, which are responsible for producing ATP. When 0.3Hz frequency is
applied to the skin, it penetrates deep into the dermis, allowing the
mitochondria to respond by producing more ATP. This increased ATP
production leads to increased cellular activity, including collagen and
elastin production, and cellular rejuvenation.
How Do Beautiva ACE EMS and BOOST .3
Microcurrent Therapy Work Together?
When used together, Beautiva ACE EMS and BOOST .3 can provide
even greater benefits for the skin. Beautiva ACE EMS works by
stimulating the muscles in the face, while BOOST.3 microcurrent
therapy works by stimulating the skin and generating ATP. By combining
these two treatments, you have the best of both worlds as you can
improve the overall health and appearance of your skin.
When Beautiva ACE EMS is used first in the treatment, it can help to
tone and lift the muscles in the face. This can help to reduce the
appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, as well as to improve the overall
texture and tone of the skin. BOOST .3 microcurrent therapy can then
be used to stimulate the skin, promoting cell regeneration, adenosine
triphosphate, and increasing the production of collagen and elastin. This
can help to further reduce signs of aging, leaving you with healthier,
more youthful-looking skin.

Combined Therapy Using EMS and RF
How Radiofrequency and EMS Work Together
The combination of radiofrequency and EMS is a powerful tool for
treating skin laxity, and muscle. Radiofrequency works by heating the
skin and underlying tissue, which stimulates collagen production and
tightens the skin. EMS works by stimulating muscle contractions, which
strengthens and tones the muscles.
When used together, radiofrequency and EMS can produce a synergistic
effect. The heat generated by radiofrequency can enhance the effects of
EMS by increasing muscle contractions and improving circulation.
Similarly, the muscle contractions produced by EMS can enhance the
effects of radiofrequency by improving lymphatic drainage and removing
waste products from the tissues.
Studies have shown this to be a very effective treatment.
