Do you want to tone, tighten, and get rid of stubborn body fat? At Push Med, in Greenville, SC, we are excited to announce that all three can be done at the same time! PHYSIQ is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses four applicators to target multiple areas at one time by utilizing STEP (Sequential Thermal & Electrical Pulse) technology.

PHYSIQ is the only device on the market that utilizes STEP technology. STEP technology uses both SDM (Superluminescent Diode Matrix) and EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation). SDM targets and melts away fat while EMS tightens and tones your muscles giving you the ultimate fit look.

PHYSIQ treatments are painless and can be done on your lunch break with zero downtime.

How does PHYSIQ work?

PHYSIQ targets tissues and muscle with its unique STEP technology. STEP programs are customized sequences of timed phases of deep heat and muscle stimulation. The deep heat phase from PHYSIQ’s super luminescent diode matrix (SDM) targets tissue while electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) creates muscle contractions to re-educate the muscle in the targeted area.

What should I expect before, during, and after my PHYSIQ treatment?

Before your PHYSIQ body contouring treatment, if necessary, you will want to shave the targeted area. PHYSIQ has four independent applicators that can deliver both heat and EMS. At Push Med, in Greenville, SC, we will place up to four applicators spaced along the desired area and secure them with a PHYSIQ band. There is no messy gel required.

During your treatment you may feel warmth at the applicator site and you will feel muscle contractions during the EMS phases. Should you feel discomfort, you may use the patient control button which adjusts the energy modulation without impacting the effectiveness of the treatment.

After your treatment, it is important to massage the area with the PHYSIQ body lotion that was designed to complement your body treatment. One bottle of the PHYSIQ body lotion will allow you to continue this massage, twice daily, between treatments.

Can I treat more than 1 area at once?

PHYSIQ has four applicators which may be used in sets of two on multiple areas in one single session. A maximum of three areas may be treated in one day.

How long is the treatment?

The length of treatment will depend on the area being treated but on average, treatments are thirty minutes.

How many sessions do I need?

The recommendation is 5 sessions with each session spaced one week apart. EMS may be used alone to maintain results after full STEP sessions. However, everyone is different so it is important for you to talk to your provider about those areas you’d like to target and your goals.

What makes PHYSIQ a virtually pain free treatment?

First, the deep penetration of heat combined with sapphire cooling at the skin’s surface leads to only a minimal increase in the temperature of the epidermis. This allows the patient to be comfortable without sacrificing efficacy. Next, the cycling between heat and EMS with STEP ensures the optimal temperature is reached and maintained throughout the treatment Lastly, patients have a control button to make any adjustments for comfort without impacting the efficacy of the session.
