Welcome to the ORIEMS FIT Research Digest!
This blog post is part of our Research Digest series, where we bring you the latest and most interesting studies about fitness, health, and how technology like EMS can help you live better. We aim to share reliable information in simple language, so you can learn more and feel inspired to explore on your own. Today, we are going to dive into a new study that talks about the benefits of using the core Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) Technology for shaping your body.

Research Title: Muscle Stimulation for Aesthetic Body Shaping: A Comprehensive and Critical Review
Authors: Dr. Pooja H. Rambhia, Dr. Louise Turner, Dr. Nkem Ugonabo, and Dr. Anne Chapas.
Where and When Was This Study Conducted?
This research was done by dermatologists and specialists at the UnionDerm clinic in New York, USA.

The main researchers come from well-respected institutes like the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine and UnionDerm, which are known for their high-quality studies in skin care and non-invasive body treatments.

The study was published in October 2022.

What Is This Research About?
The study looks at how Aesthetic muscle stimulation, a niche within Muscle Stimulation Technology can help people shape their bodies without surgery.

The researchers wanted to see if this niche of EMS could make muscles stronger and reduce fat in a safe and effective way. They studied over 500 people who used a machine called High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) for EMS treatment. This method helps tone muscles and reduce fat, particularly around the belly, arms, legs, and buttocks.

Who Was in the Study?
The study involved 521 participants, including both men and women. Most people in the study wanted to tone their muscles and lose a little fat without having to go through surgery.

How Was the Study Done?
The researchers used methods like MRI scans to measure muscle growth and fat reduction after EMS treatments. They used these scans before the treatment and again after 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and even after a year to see how well the EMS worked.

What Did the Researchers Find?
The study found some great news for people who want to shape their bodies using EMS. Here are some specific results:

1. Increase in Muscle Thickness: People who used EMS saw a big increase in their muscle size. For example, muscles in the belly area became 20.5% thicker on average after 6 months of treatment. For arms, the muscle size increased by 15.7% after 6 months.

2. Reduction in Fat: The study also found that EMS helped reduce fat. For people who used EMS on their bellies, there was a 17% decrease in belly fat after just one month, and the fat continued to decrease over time.

3. Toning the Body: Many participants also reported feeling stronger and noticed a more toned look in their muscles, especially in their arms and buttocks. The buttock area saw a 21.9% increase in muscle size after 3 months.

Why EMS Could Be Helpful for Certain Problems
EMS is helpful because it helps strengthen muscles and reduce fat without the need for surgeries. It is especially good for people who want to tone up specific parts of their body, like the belly, arms, or legs. It could also help new moms get their bellies back in shape without needing surgery.

How This Study Could Help EMS Device Users
For anyone using the Oriems Fit EMS device, this study shows that EMS can really help make muscles stronger and reduce fat in a safe way. Whether you are using it to tone up your arms or reduce belly fat, it could help you reach your body goals without any painful procedures.
