Slimming Machine
A slimming machine is a non-invasive treatment that is used for weight loss, body reshaping and skin tightening. This type of machine uses various technologies like ultrasound, RF and vacuum suction to deliver the desired results.
HIFU slimming machines use low-frequency ultrasound waves to dissolve fat cells and reduce cellulite. This technology is safer than invasive liposuction and does not cause any damage to the muscles or skin tissues.
Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy has long been used as a form of physical therapy to reduce pain and stimulate muscles for those with injury or paralysis. However, it has recently gained popularity as a method of losing weight and toning the body. This type of treatment involves a series of electrical pulses that are sent to the muscles via electrode pads. The pulses are designed to increase muscle contractions which burn calories and tighten underlying muscles. In addition, it is claimed that this type of slimming machine will also reduce water retention and improve lymphatic drainage.
One of the most popular forms of electrotherapy is known as EMS (electro-muscle stimulation). This treatment is often offered in spas and fitness centers and is a noninvasive procedure that does not cause pain or discomfort. During the treatment, you will sit or lie down while the conductive pads are placed on the targeted body area. The conductive pads are usually fitted with electrodes that contain an electrical impulse, which is then transmitted through the skin to the targeted muscle group.
The emitted pulses are believed to create a significant energy demand on the muscles, which burns nearby fat cells for energy. This reportedly causes cellulite reduction and increases muscle tone. Additionally, the pulsations are believed to drain excess fluids from the body and disperse toxins. The EMS device is often combined with ultrasound cavitation and radiofrequency energy for maximum results.
In addition to the potential for weight loss, electrotherapy can also help with a variety of other issues, including venous problems and varicose veins. Some EMS devices also claim to help with lymphatic drainage by using air pressure to compress and decompress different parts of the body. This helps to eliminate toxins and fluids and recovers the elasticity of the skin.
EMS treatments are typically performed two to three times per week for six weeks in order to achieve desired results. Before starting this type of treatment, it is important to consult a doctor to ensure that the therapy is safe for you. In addition, it is recommended that you avoid drinking alcohol or taking medications prior to treatment.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic drainage massage seems to be the latest “it” treatment for detoxing and slimming. It’s been credited with eliminating excess fluids, reducing bloating from liquid retention and even boosting metabolism to help the body process fat faster. It’s also a great treatment for those who want to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
While lymphatic drainage may sound complicated, it is actually a form of light massage that is similar to Swedish or deep tissue massages. It involves gently stroking the surface of the skin with the fingers. This should be done with minimal pressure (too much pressure will not work as the lymph vessels are very close to the skin’s surface). Lymph nodes are positioned throughout the body, the largest ones located in the neck, groin and armpits. These nodes, which are connected to lymph vessels, transport a mixture of proteins, water and immune system elements around the body.
The lymphatic system is important for the body’s immunity and is an essential part of our body’s natural waste disposal. It transports white blood cells as part of our immune defenses, and removes toxins from the body through a network of lymph vessels and nodes. However, certain health conditions such as breast cancer can interrupt the normal flow of lymph, resulting in a build-up of lymph in the arms or legs. This is called lymphedema. Lymphatic drainage massage is a therapy that helps the lymphatic system return to its normal function and prevents lymphedema.
Aside from its health benefits, lymphatic drainage massage is also a great way to boost circulation and detoxify the body. It can also improve the elasticity of the skin, decrease fine lines and wrinkles as well as promote the production of collagen and elastin, which will make the skin appear more firm.
If you have recently injured yourself, a lymphatic drainage massage can also be beneficial as it will speed up your recovery time. This will allow you to get back into working out again sooner, which can help you lose weight faster as your metabolism rate will be higher and you’ll burn more calories even when you aren’t exercising.
Cellulite Freezing
Fat freezing (also known as cryolipolysis) is a noninvasive, FDA-cleared treatment that freezes and destroys stubborn pockets of fat in the body. This technique is usually used to target the thighs and abdomen, but can also reduce the appearance of cellulite in other areas of the body.
This procedure uses a device that gently suctions and rotates the area being treated. This helps break up the fat deposits and allows for more effective fat removal. The treatment is performed in a private room and is relatively painless, although some people experience slight pinching or a cooling sensation. The treatment time is 30 to 60 minutes.
Many people assume that cellulite is caused by excess weight, but the truth is that it’s actually a combination of factors, including genetics, hormones, and skin structure. The uneven surface of cellulite is created by bands or sheets of connective tissue called fascia that pull down on the skin and create dimpling in the areas between the skin and muscle. In addition, the extra fluid that accumulates in the fat cells can make the skin appear bumpy or dimpled.
There are several types of devices that claim to improve the appearance of cellulite. Some of them use rolling or vibrating massage techniques, while others employ a handpiece that causes vibration like a jackhammer. These treatments may temporarily improve the appearance of cellulite by removing the extra fluid and improving circulation. However, they are not a permanent solution and may even cause more dimpling in the long run.
Another popular type of slimming machine is one that uses ultrasound energy to heat the skin and tighten loose muscles. This can help reduce the appearance of cellulite by shrinking the fibrous septae that connect the skin to the underlying fat. It can also help stimulate collagen production to give the skin a more firm and smooth appearance. However, this is only a temporary solution and does not address the underlying issues that cause the formation of cellulite.
IR Ultrasound
This treatment uses infrared and ultrasound cavitation to encourage the breakdown of fat cells under the skin. This process reduces cellulite, increases blood flow and improves the elasticity of the outer layer of skin. It also relieves aches and pains caused by the build-up of fatty deposits in the hips, thighs, abdomen and calves.
Ultrasound uses sound waves with a frequency above the upper limit of human hearing. The reflected energy passes through the tissues and causes oscillation of particles within them, producing vibrational heat.
The amplitude of this vibrational heat varies according to the thickness of the tissues and their ability to vibrate. The greater the permeability of the tissue, the higher the amplitude. A typical therapeutic ultrasound machine operates at frequencies of between 1 and 3 MHz. The higher the frequency, the deeper into the tissues it can reach. Alternatively, long-wave ultrasound devices operate at a much lower frequency – in the 10’s of kHz – and penetrate far less deeply into the tissues. Nevertheless, they can detect some benign lesions that would otherwise go unnoticed by conventional US imaging.
