Electrical muscle stimulators (EMS) are prescription devices used in physical therapy for treating specific neuromuscular problems. Iontophoresis is also a prescription device that combines a direct current with ions of soluble salt, penetrating tissues to exert a therapeutic effect. Health spas have been using EMS devices for girth reduction, weight loss, cellulite reduction, and non-surgical face-lifts. The FDA considers promotion of muscle stimulators and iontophoresis for cellulite reduction and body contouring to be
ineffective [Ref. 10].
