“3S” SEQUENTIAL DRAINAGE
The “3S” programs simulate a real sequential drainage.
The “3S” programs are characterized by an activation delay of the channels 3 and 4 compared with
the channels 1 and 2.
The Serial Sequential Stimulation permits to stimulate the musculature in kinetic chain thanks to the
differentiated activation times of the muscular groups involved.
In aesthetic field, the 3S programs allow to create a real sequential drainage: the sequential
contraction of the different musculature of legs and arms produces a deep drainage of the interstitial
fluid through the lymphatic vessels and it favors the return of the venous blood to the heart.
This means that the 4 channels of the electrostimulator act in pair and not all at the same time. This
means that the channels 3 and 4, even working with the same contraction and rest times of the
channels 1 and 2, start the stimulation with a delay time compared with the channels 1 and 2. The
stimulation delay of the second pair of channels can vary between 0,1 seconds up to 11 seconds
according to the electrostimulator model. Very small delays, below 1 second, are especially useful
for medical and rehabilitation field, while delays of 2, 3, 4, 11 seconds are perfect for beauty and
sport field. The rhythmic stimulation of the musculature causes an increase in the speed of the
venous circulation (hematic flow) and lymphatic circulation (lymphatic flow). The peripheral
circulation and, therefore, the tissue oxygenation and metabolism are improved by the increase in
the blood flow. In beauty field the serial sequential stimulations can be used to improve the cellulite
skin flaws, to reduce fat depots, to reactivate the blood flow that is slowed down because of wrong
postures, to reduce the heaviness due to a long standing or also after very intense training sessions.
Operating mode:
The operation of these programs is exactly the same as any other EMS programs, with the only
difference that a delay in the contraction start between the channels will be noticed.
The table below shows the functioning of “3S”.

Example of a “3S” program with 3”delay. The stimulations of the channels 3 and 4 start with a 3’’
delay compared with the one of channel 1 and 2.
Thus, if the electrodes of the channels 1 and 2 are placed on calves and the ones of channels 3 and 4
are placed on thighs, the effect will be the same as a massage moving from the extremities of the
limbs towards their base, really like a real manual drainage massage. It is normal to feel a slight itch
during the treatment, sign of an increase in the circulatory activity.
