Accufit uses electrical muscle stimulation to induce a strengthening response while mimicking the muscle movements achieved by athletes during training sessions. It delivers electronic energy to multiple large muscle groups through electrodes attached to the patient. The focus is on muscle building rather than fat reduction, using unique waveforms that facilitate a range of muscle contractions, including both concentric and eccentric contractions. The computer-controlled treatment emulates 4 distinct exercise patterns, all under the control of an intelligent real-time impedance feedback system.
Patients enjoy the most accurate replication of muscle movements performed by athletes, such as those achieved during exercises like planks, squats, twisting, and kettlebell movements, among others.
Loved my experience here – from the time you walk in, you are greeted so professionally and their doctor and staff were amazing to work with. Thank you RefinedMD! I will definitely recommend you to others…
Tess R., 5-Star Google review
Since establishing RefinedMD in 2012, Dr. Swengel has earned a reputation throughout the South Bay as one of the area’s top cosmetic and medical dermatologists. He is sought out for his expertise as a Mohs micrographic surgeon and laser treatment specialist, as well as his warm, attentive style of patient care.
Meet Dr. Steven SwengelUltrasound imaging has shown a 19% increase in muscle thickness, on average, just one month after treatment. Results also reveal a decrease in the abdominal fat layer for most clients, with an average reduction of 29 percent one month after the final treatment. However, Accufit is not a fat reduction treatment like CoolSculpting®, but a muscle-building option, like EMSCULPT® NEO.
Accufit is perfect for the following areas:
Sorry, guys, these treatments are not for the chest. Your superhero pecs are up to you. Of course, individual results may vary from patient to patient.
Gone are the days when a bigger, toned booty was all you needed to look and feel your best. Matching the thighs to the booty is key to a strong, natural look. Men and women alike can achieve the ultimate look of health, strength, and vitality with shapely thighs that look fantastic whether you’re at the gym or on a date night. Fill out those yoga pants, cycling shorts, or skinny jeans just right when you opt for Accufit.
Accufit is not technically a fat reduction treatment. On average, however, the abdominal fat layer decreases by nearly 30% one month after the treatments. Accufit is designed to replicate professional athletes’ results in real training sessions, including a broader range of movements, such as twists. The latest technology was created with larger muscles in mind, including the abs, which are notoriously difficult to strengthen.
Calf implants are an increasingly popular cosmetic surgery, especially for men, but why risk surgery when you can get larger, toned calves naturally? Shapely and strong calves are the ultimate sign that you care about a balanced aesthetic. However, calf muscles can be a little tougher to tone, unlike the larger thigh muscles, unless you want to spend hours in spin class. Accufit for the calves can give you that taut, hypertrophic look you want, and you’ll never be accused of skipping leg day again.
Bicep curls have been a standard—and often dreaded—part of any lifting regimen for decades. However, the biceps are just one of many muscles in the arm that need to be toned and strengthened to get that desirable chiseled look. If you’ve spent hours in the gym trying to get cut so you can feel confident in tank tops or strapless dresses, Accufit is the answer you’ve been seeking. Get the equivalent of 20,000 bicep curls or triceps dips in just 30 minutes with no sweat and no risk of injury.
For a long time, the only procedure to enhance the back end was a Brazilian butt lift, which is a surgical procedure. Accufit is a non-invasive solution that places technology on both sides of the buttocks. During the 30-minute treatment, different pulsations of the electromagnetic waves cause a variety of supramaximal contractions. The stimulation forces muscles to lift your glutes and add volume without surgery. There’s no need to go under the knife with options like Accufit available.
People interested in body toning treatments have various options at our Los Gatos practice, including Accufit. EMSCULPT is the original revolutionary body toning technology, ideal for building muscle in the abs, booty, thighs, arms, and calves. The latest addition to the EMSCULPT family, EMSCULPT NEO builds off the legacy of its predecessor. It simultaneously emits both radio frequency and high-intensity electromagnetic energy to build muscles and blast fat at the same time. For those looking for cellulite reduction, we offer several cellulite treatments.
