Ion Magnum Body Sculpting
With so many company's and products that claim to sculpt your body such as the Zerona, Titan, Thermage, body wraps, painful injections and liposuction, etc..., we have searched the globe to find the most cutting edge and non-invasive medical device that will work on everyone. Regardless of diet, age, size, shape, and genetics......we will guarantee success with the Ion Magnum. Many of our clients have lost over 3 inches during their very first treatment (measured in only one area, unlike when they measure you during and after a body wrap). When you come in for your initial treatment and consultation with Dr. Sherry A. Fong, D.C., you will have the opportunity to speak with her regarding the various differences between the treatments that are available in today's market and how they compare to each other. Depending on your goals and desired time frame, she will be able to suggest the perfect treatment protocol custom designed especially for you. You may have tried the rest......now, it's time to try the BEST!
There are some important and desirable differences between regular exercise and the exercise produced by the Arasys Ion Magnum. Muscles can burn both fat and glucose (sugar) for energy. As the body is pushed to exercise harder and cannot provide enough oxygen to burn fat (aerobic metabolism) the muscles begin to burn more and more glucose for energy (anaerobic metabolism) and less and less fat.
When glucose is burned for energy it produces lactic acid. Lactic acid is a waste product or toxin that causes muscle to fatigue and ultimately fail. Lactic acid is that "burning" felt in muscles after intense exercise. The effortless manner in which the Arasys Ion Magnum exercises the muscles causes the body to use only fat cells for energy, without decreasing glucose levels. Thus we burn fat and avoid the build-up of acid in the blood stream and the sweating that can result in dehydration. The results of strenuous gym exercise can be obtained without raising body temperature or causing strain, soreness or exhaustion.
How It Works
Arasys Ion Magnum utilizes the waveform technology used on the pacemaker to smoothly pulse the body's muscles. Unlike machines which claim to help you lose weight through muscle stimulation, the Ion Magnum does not use electrical currents which twitch or jerk muscles. The waveforms used in pacemaker technology help to smoothly flex the heart muscles to get the heart to work normally. Using the same technology, Ion Magnum waveforms flex the muscles the same way they would flex during normal physical exercise. However, unlike the time it takes with conventional exercise, the Ion Magnum results in remarkable inch loss and muscle building in only seventeen effortless minutes.
The Ion Magnum waveform is a composite of 1,000 waveforms which were researched individually in Gerry Pollock's laboratory. This compact square waveform is specifically designed to mimic brain waves so that the muscle tissue is made to believe that it is performing a muscle-toning workout. The Ion Magnum can be used on almost any muscle group on the body, and if used regularly, combined with a sensible diet, will help you fight the flab without having to hit the gym.
The Arasys Ion Magnum is particularly effective in tightening loose muscles following C-Sections or pregnancies. Arasys has been extensively used as a body builder and sports injury machine. Recently, the Arasys Breast and Body Lift are gaining in popularity.
Safe & Effective
The Arasys Ion Magnum machines used at HER Club use microcurrent, which is less than one-thousandth the current of a standard electrotherapy device like those used every day in physical therapy clinics. The Arasys Ion Magnum is registered by the FDA as a Class I device, which is the very safest classification. The FDA states that Class I devices "present minimal potential for harm to the user..." Other Class I devices are elastic bandages and surgical gloves. This means that it is proven extraordinarily safe with no significant dangers for normal people. However, there are a number of health conditions that might prevent a person from participating in these treatments. Your health and safety is our number one concern and we stand by our service and will guarantee results!
About Microcurrent
Microcurrent Stimulation Therapy is a new form of electric medicine used to naturally and safely stimulate the skin and muscles with subtle subsensory levels of electric currents which in turn stimulate your body to react with cell growth, renewal and healing. In addition to your body being a biological and chemical entity, it is also an electrical entity. Every cell of your body is an electrical component, and you have trillions of cells of electrical components essential to high level wellness of your body and brain.
Every cell of your body needs positive electricity, just like it needs Micro Nutrients. A sick cell is a nutritionally deficient cell. A fit cell is a nutritionally sound cell. Some nutrients like Germanium, Cobalt, Lithium, etc. are measured in very tiny units of weight. These nutrients are needed in very small amounts, but if they are absent or deficient, the entire body is adversely affected. The same is true of electricity. Too much will kill you. Not enough will do the same only more slowly. Compare your cells to the dry cell battery in your car. When the battery is well charged, the car starts; the lights and all the electric accessories work very well. When the battery is discharged, there is not enough electricity to kick start the motor and none of the lights or accessories work. Sick cells are discharged cells. This may be an oversimplification, but is the best way to explain the technology of microcurrent stimulation in lay person terms.
Arasys Historical Background
Gerry Pollock, the co-inventor of the pacemaker, originally designed the Arasys I at London University in 1994 for the prevention of muscle wasting conditions that cause muscle atrophy and medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis. Once released into the medical community, a team of female practitioners conducted clinical trial on the Arasys with patients that had given birth naturally, three months prior. After one Arasys treatment, measurable inch loss was reported. With repeated treatments, the medical reports showed these patients experienced muscle building, toning and inch loss. The results were shared with other medical institutions as well as spas and salons. Arasys is being touted throughout Europe as one of the most effective and comfortable body shaping systems available in the market.
Thereafter, an upgraded version known as the Arasys Ion Magnum was designed and introduced specifically for the beauty & weight loss industries. Arasys Ion Magnum features additional programs geared toward cellulite reduction, lymphatic drainage, and microcurrent stimulation for chronic and acute pain.
In 2004, after 17 years of research, Pollock decided to further develop the Arasys Ion Magnum at the Innova Science Park in the UK. The Innova Science Park is a prestigious research center funded by the European Community where most European Universities conduct their research. The Arasys Ion Magnum was then launched and eagerly embraced by the European market as the "Rolls Royce" of body treatments.
After appropriate testing and FDA clearance, the Arasys III was introduced to the U.S. market in March 2004.
Pollock's research continued one year later, in March 2005, he unveiled an upgraded Arasys III. This is the latest cutting edge design to be released, surpassing the previous models. This system offers an intense, yet effortless workout that achieves results in a fraction of the time needed at a gym. The upgraded Arasys III uses low intensity microcurrent to trigger all the biological processes involved in physical exercise, including detoxification and increased rate of metabolism. It combines intensity, effectiveness and comfort.
The Arasys Ion Magnum has been featured in both international and domestic news and anti-aging coverage. It has been coined by the press as a "miracle machine", and the "only system that really works." Our International clientele come from all parts of this world and range from the person sitting right next to you to the CEOs of large corporations and folks with super star status and even a world renowned plastic surgeon.
