Isogei is electronic equipment for beauty sessions which perform a perfect isometric exercise for the face and body: without effort it is possible to obtain an immediate and visible result. The isometric contraction is a muscular tension without changing the length of the muscle.

This kind of contraction needs great effort, but from a physical point of view this is not "work". "Work" involves movement therefore energy consumption; the isometric exercise involves a single bundle of muscles, stimulating almost all fibers therefore enhancing their strength without effort.

Every muscle is composed by bundles of fibers, which react to the nervous stimulation.

• They become shorter, when an arm or a leg is raised, for instance. This is known as CONCENTRIC muscular work.
• They return to the rest position such as when an arm is lowered slowly.
• This is known as ECCENTRIC muscular work. We perform an isotonic exercise when alternating concentric and eccentric movements, which normally stimulate about 50% of the fibers.
• They do not contract or relax but remain of a fixed length. This is a STATIC or ISOMETRIC muscular activity.
