Actress and reality TV star Khanyi Mbau has given her followers a glimpse into one of the beauty routines she enjoys as she works on toning her body.
The star recently took to Instagram to share a video of herself at The Bomb Beauty Aesthetics in Sandton, where she underwent an EMS treatment. Khanyi appeared excited about the treatment as she explained to her followers what she was there to do.
“I’m here to do my EMS and I’m excited,” she said in the video.
Khanyi then went on to explain how the treatment works and what happens during her session. She revealed that the treatment focuses on different muscle groups depending on her position during the session.
“I lay on my stomach for the first 30 minutes and targeting my hamstrings and then I will turn around and lay on my back for the next 30 minutes and working on my quads,” she explained.
The reality TV star also explained that EMS training allows her muscles to be activated while she relaxes during the treatment.
“EMS training activates those muscles and while I simply lie back and let the machine do its thing.”
EMS, which stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation or Electric Muscle Stimulation, is a technology used in various beauty and body-sculpting treatments. The technology works by sending low-level electrical currents through the skin to reach the underlying muscles.
These electrical signals are designed to mimic the body’s natural nerve messages, causing the muscles to contract and expand. EMS treatments can therefore be incorporated into beauty and body-toning routines, depending on the treatment and the individual’s goals.
For Khanyi, the treatment has become part of the beauty routine she has chosen to share with her followers. By documenting her session, she gave fans a closer look at what happens when she undergoes EMS and how the treatment targets different areas of the body.
The star’s video also showed that her beauty routine extends beyond traditional skincare and makeup, with body treatments forming part of the ways she looks after herself and maintains her appearance.
