A slimming machine uses electrotherapy to stimulate muscles in an attempt to reduce cellulite, improve muscle tone, release toxins in the body and reduce body fat. The currents emitted by the machine are said to contract the muscles of the body, causing the muscles to use up surrounding fat as an energy source.

Electrotherapy, which has been medically proven to aid in healing wounds and significantly improving the progress of physical therapy patients, is an extremely non-invasive treatment so there is no link to cancer .
It is also commonly used by physicians to prevent muscle atrophy in bedridden patients. Treatments administered by the slimming machine are typically relaxing, with clients and patients saying the feel energetic and healthier after a session.

While the slimming machine is meant more for body toning than weight loss, it can help to start an exercise program by providing the body with muscle support it needs to undergo intense physical training. Despite the fact that actual loss of body fat is minimal, this type of machine has been shown to significantly shave off inches around the waist, hips, thighs and arms.

As with any weight loss or body toning treatment, the machine works best when coupled with a healthy diet and regular workouts.
