Course "Training in body shaping techniques"

This is an author's program aimed at modeling the ideal silhouette, namely:
- body volume reduction
- skin tightening
- getting rid of excess body fat
- reduction of cellulite manifestations.

Apparatus body correction techniques can be divided into two groups - techniques used only in combination with other procedures and independent.

Comprehensive treatments include:

Vacuum-roller massage (LPG) - named after the initials of the French developer of the first apparatus, Louis Paul Guitel. It eliminates swelling, improves tissue nutrition.

Electromyostimulation (Greek myos - “muscle”) is used in cellulite therapy, contracting muscles and bringing them into tone due to electrical impulses, as well as improving blood circulation and lymph flow. The technique is also called "passive fitness".

Cavitation (lat. cavitos - “emptiness”) is by far the most effective anti-cellulite procedure, which, however, has many contraindications. Due to the ultrasonic effect, the membranes of fat cells are destroyed, blood circulation and lymph flow improve.

Independent procedures include such techniques as:

RF-lifting (thermolifting) is a rejuvenating procedure that tightens the skin and improves its texture.

Pressotherapy - promotes the removal of excess fluid and decay products, improves venous circulation, strengthens the vascular wall, removes congestion and swelling, activates metabolic processes in tissues.
