Here is a no-frills, results-oriented cellulite-busting and waste-eliminating slimming treatment.
SkinInc's SculptFIT Therapy is a treatment that stimulates the body to remove excess waste, toxins, cellulite and body fat. The whole treatment consists of two steps - the first is SkinInc's signature no-needle mesotherapy, or NNM. NNM uses laser instead of needles to deliver a serum that has a mixture of minerals, vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants to the deeper
layer of skin and has cellulite-reducing and skin toning qualities. A slight stinging sensation alerts you to when the therapist begins your hour-long treatment.
With the serum made from natural plant extracts such as seaweed, birch and tea, the effects are to increase blood circulation and spee up the dissolution of excess fats and detoxify the body.
The second step involves the use of Far Infrared Therapy and Low Frequency Therapy. Far Infrared Therapy, which is based on principles of accupressure and reflexology, and low frequency therapy help to promote blood circulation and increase metabolism to burn fat faster. The lymphatic system is also stimulated to rid the body of the toxins which can cause cellulite build-up.
This part of the treatment uses a special heating pad which is placed on the area requiring fat and/or cellulite reduction. This harnesses the body’s powerful mechanisms of self-repair by raising the body’s core temperature and allowing it to naturally eliminate fats, chemicals and toxins, excess sodium associated with hypertension, carcinogenic heavy metals and uric acid, which is known to cause pain.
As uncomfortable as it sounds, the treatment was really fuss-free and not difficult to undergo. While the NNM was a little disconcerting at first when the zapping first begins, I began to relax when I realised it was not painful.
The second part, where I had to wear special conducting pads on my feet and have two bars strapped onto my hands to allow far infrared rays to work their magic on my accupressure points was a lot more laidback and relaxing.
A good thing about the treatment is that the slimming and detox effects continue even days after the treatment is completed. You also get to see results after your treatment, as you therapist will measure your problem areas before and after treatment to tally up how many inches you've lost.
Your therapist will remind you to drink lots of water for the next couple of days to ensure your body can detox and eliminate waste to allow the effects of the treatment to be maximised.
The one-hour treatment costs $368, but you can get a first-time trial at $98. There is a 3-month package at $3,688 where you can book yourself for up to four treatments a week.
