Does the power decrease using Y cables?
The power intensity for each channel does not vary. However, when Y cables are used to split one
single channel in two, the current is distributed on a wider muscle area, therefore contraction will
be less pronounced. Increase the intensity to obtain the same contraction level.
Can electrostimulation hurt me?
It is very unlikely that electrostimulation damages muscles. In this case it is important to increase
intensity gradually while observing the muscle behavior and avoiding to keep the limb completely
outstretched. In case of doubt, please contact a specialist.
Is it possible to use the electrostimulator during menstruation cycle?
Electrostimulation may interfere in some way with menstruation, causing anticipation, delay,
accentuation or reduction of the cycle; however, these effects are subjective and highly variable.
It is recommended to avoid treatments in the abdominal zone during menstruation cycle and
immediately before or after it.
Is it possible to use the electrostimulator during lactation?
Until now, no collateral effects regarding lactation have been observed. Nonetheless, during
lactation, it is recommended not to stimulate the thoracic region.
Are dermatological diseases (e.g. psoriasis, urticaria) contraindications for electrostimulation?
Yes, do not treat areas affected by dermatological diseases.
When are the first results visible?
Aesthetic results of electrostimulation are always subjective. For Toning program, with a regular
program of 3-4 sessions per week, a noticeable result may be observed after 15 days. For Lipolysis
and Drainage programs, 40 days of treatment are necessary. Results are obtained more quickly if
treatments are combined with good physical activity and a correct life style.
How many sessions can I weekly perform?
For fitness and aesthetics programs, the number of sessions depends on the type of treatment: 3-4
sessions per week on alternate days are suggested for toning; daily treatments are permitted for
Lipolysis and Drainage programs.
