What is the purpose of presenting this article? To help you make better decisions when selecting an EMS body sculpting machine for your spa or home.

When shopping around for an EMS body sculpting machine and researching, it's easy to believe that all the information in chatbots like GPT or Google AI search is trustworthy. Unfortunately, that's not the case. These tools just rely on data from blog posts, websites, and social media.

What are the Real Tesla Ratings of Popular EMS Body Sculpting Machines? 

Case in point:  Almost no reliable information can be found on Tesla rating of high intensity EMS body sculpting machines.  None of the data is coming from any reliable sources.  The numbers you’ll find online are pretty crazy actually.  EMSzero and MYOslim brands (which are from exactly the same factory, just different logo) are advertised many places as having 15 or 14 Tesla!

However here at MShape Beauty we care passionately about giving you, our clients and the general public, reliable real data.  Therefore we’ve bought samples of all the EMSzero and MYOslim machines and tested them thoroughly, confirming their power is less than 700W and  under 0.8 Tesla at max intensity!

Reality:  The original EMSculpt may have a Tesla rating of about 2 Tesla, while Emsculpt Neo may have a higher magnetic field output than the original Emsculpt and a rating of 2.5 Tesla.  EMShape Neo Plus has an even higher Tesla Rating than EMSculpt Neo, but not more than double.  There are no EMS body sculpting machines with 15 Tesla, at least we hope not!   As we can learn from the following analysis, using a 15 Tesla EMS machine will be pretty risky and dangerous.

What would be the effect of exposing a human to 15 Tesla pulsed electromagnetic field?

15 Tesla (15 T) pulsed magnetic field is not safe for human exposure under current international safety guidelines for general or occupational settings, and is likely to cause significant adverse effects. 

Exposure limits set by organizations like the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and the FDA are significantly lower. 

Safety Guidelines and Potential Effects

• Established Safety Limits: ICNIRP guidelines for controlled occupational short-term exposure to static magnetic fields can go up to 8 T in specific, controlled environments, but general public limits are much lower (around 0.4 mT).
• Pulsed Fields are More Hazardous: Pulsed (time-varying) magnetic fields are more hazardous than static fields because they induce electric currents within the body. These induced currents can interfere with the body's own electrical signals, such as those in the nervous system and heart.
• Health Effects at High Levels: Exposure to very high-speed variable fields can cause:
• Nerve and Muscle Stimulation: Tingling sensations, pain, or involuntary muscle contractions.
• Cardiac Effects: At extremely high induced currents (above 500 mT at 50/60 Hz), there is a risk of upsetting heart rhythm or causing ventricular fibrillation.
• Sensory Effects: Visual disturbances (magnetophosphenes) and vertigo can occur even at lower field strengths (around 2 T).
• Comparison: A 15 T pulsed field is an extremely high intensity that significantly exceeds safe exposure limits, even the maximum limits for controlled settings like in some advanced MRI research systems (which typically use up to 3 T for clinical use, with some research systems going up to 8 T). 

In conclusion, intentional human exposure to a 15 T pulsed magnetic field is not advised and poses serious health risks due to induced currents that can disrupt normal physiological functions, especially in the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
