Top Body Toning Treatments.

With summer approaching us, everybody is starting to think about shifting those extra stubborn winter pounds & toning up! I've been looking into some of the latest cellulite & body toning treatments around at the moment to give you extra bikini confidence!!!!!!!


Advanced Keymodule Endermologie

This is essentially an anti-cellulite treatment, it aims to smooth the skin and give a slimmer outline. It works by putting on a stretchy, cotton covering, then cylindrical rollers are placed on the skin and rolled gently over the body, it has a deep strong suction effect which feels like a massage. The idea is the process restructures the skin’s connective tissue, stimulates blood and lymph circulation and removes toxins, this is by triggering the body’s normal process for excess fat elimination which will process, tone, firm and smooth the skin.
A little pricey, 1 x 30-minute session costs £40 and to maintain results monthly sessions are recommended.

Vacunaut – Vacuum Therapy

This was developed by an Austrian Sports Scientist, the Vacunaut aims to get rid of 'spare tyre' areas on the stomach & is quite a favourite amongst celebs these days! The treatment involves wearing a specially designed suit and walking for 30 minutes on a treadmill, the computer controlled pumps change the pressure within the suit to push blood directly into the fatty tissue around the stomach. This means the blood can absorb fat from the stomach and use as fuel to power muscles, the constant change in pressure ensures that fat enriched blood is transported to the working muscles over and over again.
A course should be taken over at least one month (3 sessions per week) & it is claimed there should be considerable inch loss and improved skin tone. How much inch loss varies but more and more health clubs are now offering this therapy & of course any course should be in conjunction with a healthy eating plan. Pretty expensive, it costs around £400-£450 for a one month plan with 3 sessions a week.

Ionithermie Body Treatments

Ionithermie claims to be the ideal treatment for those people who have successfully lost a considerable amount of weight yet still need help to tone and firm.
The treatment includes a body scrub and pressure point massage, the areas to be treated are covered with a thermal clay, essential oils and pads, which give out rhythmic electrical pulses. Ionithermie works the areas through gentle faradic and galvanic currents, with the thermal clay and active natural ingredients. This treatment claims to promote inch loss, reduce fat and firm & tone the body. Treatments start at around £45 for one session.

It seems more and more salons, treatment centres and health and fitness clubs are including these types of products & treatments, and they are becoming more widely used, it is best to have a consultation with a therapist beforehand & make sure the treatment is right for you. Some claims can be a little overstretched but combining these with a healthy eating plan & a good fitness regime they can certainly make a difference as well as motivating you with any weight loss plan.
