Electronic muscle simulation (EMS) is a technique used for toning and reshaping muscles in  different parts of the body like the buttocks and thighs. It works by sending an electrical signal to the muscle, making it contract, which simulates the impulses sent by the brain to the muscle during normal exercise.  By using EMS units the body gets used to the short and intense muscular contractions.

Since the use of steroids for building muscles has been outlawed for most sports, athletes from Eastern Europe have used EMS to build their muscles for sports where sudden bursts of energy, high speed and quick reaction time are needed. These sports include boxing, sprinters, weight lifters and martial . Now this muscle building technique is available in Western countries also, and is used by sports persons as well as ordinary people to attain their fitness goals.

Though EMS units are not a substitute for a regular workout, they allow you to exercise your muscles in the comfort of your home, when you are busy with other sedentary activities like writing, reading, watching TV, speaking on the phone or surfing the internet. They allow you to supplement your regular workout without putting stress on your joints, back and shoulders. The electronic muscle simulation systems are recommended by physiotherapists for disabled people, to prevent atrophy of their muscles. They are also used for treatment of muscular, tendon or ligament injuries.

The age at which the wrinkles develop depend on hereditary factors, the diet of the individual and all the lifestyle. By using plasma lift treatment, the skin is tightened and collagen produced so that it regains its youthful look.

Plasma lift treatment consists of two phases. First the individual is subjected to a skin preparation program for a period of four to eight weeks and certain prescribed skin products may have to be used.

Collagen and elastin are the two fibers which make up the skin.  While collagen provides structural support and resist stretching, the elastin fibers make the skin flexible and allow it to revert to its original condition when stretched. As a person ages, the amount of DHT produced increases and this inhibits the production of elastin, and the skin starts aging gradually. Depending on hereditary and other factors, this happens between the age of 25 to 30.

After spending years doing extensive research on skin and aging, the biochemist Dr. Chantal Burnison has developed the anti-aging ingredient Ethocyn. It blocks the DHT-DHT receptor binding in fibroblast skin cells which inhibit the production of elastin, and so elastin continues to be produced at the same level as in young skin. By applying ethocyn to the skin twice in a day for a  period of a month or two, the skin will regain the elasticity it had when the person was 20 years old. Extensive laboratory tests have been conducted which support the efficacy of this product.

A wide range of skincare products which contain the ingredient Ethocyn have been developed by Dr. Chantal Burnison. These include eye cream, hydrating cream, gel cleanser, revitalizing masque, hand and body moisturizer, Ethocyn Hydrating Complex and Ethocyn Essence.
