F.Y.I.
Excess fat and fluid retention in the body create bulky masses of volume as well as cellulite. These overcharges of fat and fluid typically form into clusters and appear on various parts of the body such as buttocks, thighs, stomach, and the inner parts of legs and upper arms.
An effective, long term solution for targeting fat and diminishing cellulite in the human body must include a treatment method for dealing with both the fatty origin of cellulite as well as the aqueous origin of cellulite.
While many other body wraps and treatments may be beneficial in hiding cellulite or providing inch loss, results are temporary because only excess fluids (not fats) are extracted from around fat cells, thus cellulite is no longer able to float to the surface of the skin which is why its appearance is diminshed by a typical body wrap or treatment. However, once the body begins to accumulate and retain fluids again, the cellulite comes back out of hiding and floats back to the surface of the skin, and inch loss previously achieved disappears.
Body wraps and treatments can be beneficial forms of detoxification and toning, however, they are better utilized as short term maintenance treatments since they can only deal with the aqueous origin of cellulite and not the fatty origins of cellulite.

Lymphatic drainage is a holistic approach to promoting a healthy lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a complex network of vessels and ducts that move fluid throughout the body and is responsible for moving toxins away from healthy cells and carrying germ-fighting materials to cells when they are under attack by viruses. Though fluid moves through the lymphatic system, it does not have its own pumping mechanism. Lymphatic drainage is a type of
therapy that is intended to help the body produce a free-flowing lymphatic system.
Q. What are typical results?
A. You may expect immediate volume and inch loss, and less cellulite.
Q. How many treatments will I need and how far apart should they be?
A. The number of treatments as well as the time interval between treatments depends upon your personal body contour goals. Treatments can be as frequent as every 48 hours, however, after one treatment, your body's metabolism is increased for 21 days.
Q. Will I feel any electrical currents or any type of pain?
A. No, you do not feel the application of micro-currents. You do feel the pumping and vacuuming action during the Bio-remodeling phase of your body treatment, which is painless. Since it is incorporated with lymphatic drainage massage, most people tend to relax to the point of falling asleep.
Q. How long do the results last?
A. Essentially, the longevity of your results will depend upon your personal lifestyle choices of nutrition and exercise. Each body is different and thus, responds differently, but all lose inches. You can expect to keep your inches off permanently unless you choose a sedentary lifestyle that will build new fat cells.
Q. Is there anything I can do before, during and after treatments to enhance my results?
A. Drinking plenty of water, staying away from high-fat foods, and watching sodium intake levels is a start. As previously mentioned, your metabolism is going to be increased for 21 days post treatment. Because water is a natural detoxicant for your body, you will continue to burn calories and fat and drinking plenty of water will enhance your results.
Q. Anything that I need to know for treatment days?
A. There are no special requirements, however, it may be beneficial to not wear lotion on treatment days. Skin needs to be clean and free of any products so that the products used with the treatments can have the fullest advantage possible.
Q. Are the treatments safe?
A. Absolutely! There are not only safe, but extremely beneficial for your body to rid itself of the fat and clean out your lymphatic system. Microcurrent therapy has been around for years. It is used in Medi-Spa's in Europe. The microcurrent is nothing you will even feel and has no negative effects on your body.
