Wraps

The meaning of wraps is a “greenhouse effect”. A special mixture is applied to the body and tightly wrapped with a food film, the body temperature in this area rises, the person begins to sweat, and the applied mixture actively penetrates the skin due to the expansion of pores. During the procedure, water is removed from the body, metabolism is accelerated and the quality of the skin is improved.

Wraps can be hot and cold, depending on the composition of the chosen product. Certain cosmetic ingredients activate local blood circulation and help to reduce the volume of fatty tissue.

The basis of the work is the effect of cold on localized fat deposits. Preliminary preparation before the procedure is not necessary, the process itself is painless: the device does not affect the vessels, muscles and nerve endings, eliminating pain and discomfort. Approximate temperature in the area of exposure is at least +25 degrees – this is a biologically safe temperature, which excludes damage and hypothermia of the skin.

Due to the cooling of fat tissues turns on the mechanism of apoptosis – the planned death of fat cells. The effect comes after at least two months, because the body needs time to remove the products of cryolipolysis.

The procedure is carried out in the presence of a doctor. It is not recommended for pregnant, lactating women or patients with oncology.

Mesotherapy

This is an injectable technique that involves the introduction of lymphatic drainage and anti-cellulite therapeutic “cocktails” with the help of micro-needles. To achieve the desired effect, one procedure will not be enough – a course of treatment is necessary. Depending on the indications, the specialist chooses the method and the number of sessions.

The essence of the procedure is in microvibration compression (alternating different pressure on the tissues and achieve a lymphatic drainage effect) and heating tissue structures by two degrees. This helps to accelerate many processes, such as cellular metabolism and the breakdown of fat cells, and also reduces swelling (due to the removal of excess intercellular fluid).

The procedure is performed in specialized medical clinics with a specially trained medical representative. Do not appoint people with chronic skin diseases, vascular diseases (varicose veins, thrombophlebitis), oncology, diabetes mellitus.

To all cosmetic procedures there are absolute contraindications – acute processes, increased body temperature, exacerbation of chronic processes, cancer, pregnancy, lactation. Therefore, you should consult a doctor before recording.
