Cinch inches


those


Let’s face it, no matter what dietary plan or gym routine we commit ourselves to, we often struggle to shift those last few niggly pounds – so what if you could tell your clients you had a therapy treatment, which involves little or no downtime that could actually help? Erm, no brainer – yes please!


These days, it seems that wherever we look we can find examples of celebrities turning to inch-loss machines to help them ‘cinch in those inches’ – from the revelation made by The Telegraph, back in 2009, of Madonna and Kylie Minogue using vibration machines to wobble away their body woes through to the latest stream of celebrities heading for ‘thigh- gap’ treatments at well-known aesthetic clinics.


What was once considered to be something obtainable only by the rich and famous, has now become much more mainstream, thanks to advances in technology and a better understanding of the different types of inch-loss treatments available amongst clients.


In fact, last year online clinic finder, WhatClinic.com reported a 161% increase in enquiries for Laser Lipo; meanwhile Ultrasonic Cavitation enquiries were up by 328%, and with projected enquiries set to increase again in 2014, it looks like this is one celebrity trend that will continue to go the distance.


For those of you who haven’t kept up-to- date with the latest machine-based inch- loss therapy treatments here’s a quick round up of the treatments available:


Laser lipolysis


Laser lipolysis is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat from fibre- optic Lasers at various wavelengths to melt body fat. It does this by

stimulating the fat cell membranes which causes them to lose their shape, which in turn allows the intercellular fat, or triglycerides to escape the membranes into the blood stream to be used as energy. An added benefit of Laser lipolysis is that it also encourages the production of the protein collagen, making the skin more taut.


Riding the waves


Similarly, Ultrasound Cavitation and Radio Frequency (RF) treatments also use selective wavelengths to target the fat cell membranes.


In Ultrasound Cavitation treatments, the selected sound waves force pressure on to the fat cells causing them to microscopically implode, and subsequently release the triglycerides back into the blood stream to be used as energy.


During Radio Frequency treatments, the selected radio waves damage the fat cell membranes by heating them up to initiate a breakdown of the fat cells and promote the re-absorption and drainage of retained fluids and toxins, whilst improving circulation.


A cold snap


Cryotherapy, also known as cool sculpting, works in a similar way but rather than heating the selected area it freezes it, causing damage to the fat cell membranes which ultimately leads to the dispersion of triglycerides once again into the blood stream.


Mechanical


manipulation Mechanical manipulation / massage, on the other hand, helps to eliminate fatty deposits through the use of mechanical rollers. When used following a specific treatment protocol, it is believed that


mechanical manipulation of the tissue can help to improve lymphatic drainage and circulation, reactivate the body’s own natural lipolysis process and stimulate collagen production.


Furthermore, mechanical massage treatments can be used as stand-alone treatments or are often used in combination with other treatments, such as Microcurrent and vacuum suction, to increase its efficacy.


Of course, whichever inch-loss system you may be thinking of introducing into your salon it helps to know that system’s key selling points, so turn the page for more information…
