Body Therapy Techniques
Body therapy techniques have become extremely popular in the recent times. Looking good has become a way of life and a necessity in the modern era. A research states that looking 'prim and proper' is given much more weightage these days than just fulfilling the need to be healthy. Somewhere down the line it increases self confidence and brings a feel good factor.
Body firming, sculpting and inch loss have become an integral part of any weight loss procedure. Today various clinics in India offer different safe non surgical body sculpting procedures.
Various slimming, weight loss, cosmetic surgery centers, and beauty spas are providing inch loss and body toning through a combination of appliances, products, and non surgical therapies like cellulite removal therapies, tucks (tummy tuck, hip tuck and thighs tuck) etc.
These procedures help in losing fat from the problem areas or the areas where maximum weight/inch loss is required. These body therapies are like passive exercises that make fat available for utilization by aerobic activity.
There are a few non-surgical face and body sculpting clinics which use scientifically proven technologies that help an individual get rid of unwanted fat from the abdomen, thighs and hips.
Their equipment work on the principle of Ultrasonic Lipolysis wherein High-Intensity Focalized Ultrasound (HIFU) waves destroy fat cells through a transducer up to 1.5 cm below the skin. A person can lose 1 to 3 inches permanently from any targeted area like hips, thighs and abdomen.
Puffy face and a double chin are tackled using radiofrequency with lipo laser. This procedure is said to reduce puffiness and induce collagen synthesis resulting in a sharp jaw line and a slimmer face.
Techniques like Conventional Mesotherapy and Endermologie cause fat to mobilize in order to reduce cellulite.
Conventional mesotherapy is a less invasive procedure for reducing localized fat deposits. This procedure is generally done by plastic and cosmetic surgeons. It involves microinjections of fat-busting substance into the mesoderm (the second layer of the skin) of the high-fat area to be treated. It may be done with or without anesthesia.
Blizz Biosculpting, is a US FDA approved cosmetic procedure offered in India for body contouring and figure correction. The Blizz Biosculptor is said to offer cellulite and fat removal, tummy tuck, spot reduction, face lifting and double chin removal. It offers a unique therapy called as Bliz Far Infra red (FIR) spot reduction / non – invasive mesotherapy. This is claimed to target substantial fat loss and inch loss up to 2 to 3 inches in a single sitting from the tummy or waist. Unlike conventional mesotherapy, Blizz noninvasive mesotherapy does not use microinjections to reach to the localized fat deposits. Instead, natural FIR is used which is of plant origin and is approved and licensed. The fat is removed by a natural excretion process.
Influenced by the ultrasound field and SPECTRAL FIR energy, water molecules in the body get activated. Heat is produced due to friction between water molecules. SPECTRAL FIR energy produces heat, and higher temperature occurs deep below the skin. This enhances blood circulation. Because of the thermal trauma to the fat cells, triglycerides are released from them. These triglycerides are easily broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol by the enzyme lipoprotein lipase (LPL). The free fatty acids and glycerol are transported to the liver excreted.
Endermologie is a sort of machine-assisted massage system for targeted fat loss. This procedure is done with a motorized device with two adjustable rollers and controlled suction to create skin fold. This technique helps mobilize deep tissue thus loosening the fat layer and eliminating fats, excess fluids and metabolites.
Vacuum therapy, heat therapy, Torc Plus, Electronic Muscles Stimulators/Exercisers are other techniques being propagated for fat reduction and inch loss from specific parts of the body.
Torc Plus involves waves (4000 Hz) to penetrate deeply into body tissues, activating lipolysis (breakdown or destruction of fats) and stimulating the tough muscle fibers.
Flex-e-tone, Body-e-tone are electronic muscle stimulators which provide passive exercise to tone, firm and strengthen the muscles.
Vacuum therapy assists in a massage like movement. It helps in the movement and utilization of fat cells. It stimulates metabolism too. Deep heat therapy improves circulation, oxygenates cells and improves muscle tone and strength.
Hypoxi is another procedure which has become extremely popular in India. It is known that the most important aspect of successfully reducing body fat is optimal blood circulation in the concerned areas. This is how the HYPOXI-Method works. On one hand, the concerned body areas are systematically put under pressure through a vacuum (based on the principle of cupping) and compression (meaning treatment with positive pressure), and on the other hand, moderate kinetic exercise stimulates the body metabolism. Redundant fat is activated and mobilized via the blood circulation to be burned by the muscles. HYPOXI is also said to improve the unattractive appearance of cellulite and strengthen the dermal and connective tissue.
Without a doubt these procedures help with inch loss, give a slimmer and firmer look to the body, but at the same time these services can be expensive. Therefore, one should try to get thorough information about them, be serious and be mentally prepared to avoid being misguided. Ideally one should resort to such services once a certain amount of weight has been lost. The person has to exercise and make exercising a way of life simultaneously. As these are just supportive aids, one has to follow the expert’s advice and take complete guidance on how the results achieved could be maintained in the long run.
