Ionithermie
Ionithermie is the only cosmeceutical treatment to detoxify the body at the cellular level. The treatment gives immediate, sustainable, clinically-proven inch loss of up to eight inches per treatment. Over one million treatments are performed annually world-wide.
What is cellulite and what part do toxins play?
Recent medical studies have shown that cellulite and its "orange-peel" texture is caused by the following:
- The accumulation of toxins in the spaces between the skin's cells (in what doctors call the "extra-cellular matrix"). These toxins are made in the skin's connective tissue due to pH changes.
- A decrease in micro-circulation in the capillaries of the skin, which help remove the toxins and by-products of the cells' metabolic processes.
- An increase in fluid held in the adipose (fat) tissue.
- An increase in the number and size of the flat cells.
- An increase in the thickness of the fibrous "bands" anchored to the skin through the adipose tissue. These can be thought of as being like the buttons on a mattress or a sofa cushion, where the thread anchoring the button through the fabric causes an indentation below the surface - but the remainder of the surface is raised.
What is Ionithermie and how does it detoxify?
Ionithermie is a treatment invented over 25 years ago by a French bio-chemist. It involves the use of a hand-held device which transmits two gentle forms of low-level electrical stimuli through a conductive clay. The treatments are provided in spas, salons, and physicians' offices across the nation, by certified Ionithermie therapists.
Ionithermie has been proven in independent clinical studies* to:
- Detoxify the extra-cellular matrix through a process bio-chemists term "electrophoresis", in which low-level e-stim carries positively and negatively charged particles through a substance.
- Introduce all-natural products into the fatty tissue layers of the skin, resulting in "lipolysis" (the breakdown of fat tissue)
- Cause gentle electro-stimulation to the underlying muscles in the area being treated to help tone and sculpt the area (you may have experienced this type of muscle treatment in a chiropractor's office, or during physical therapy)
- Increase the amount of capillaries in the skin, increasing circulation, resulting in better health
- Result in an immediate and sustainable loss of up to 8 inches per treatment
* Studies were carried out in France in 2001, and in the U.S. in 2005.
No injections are required with Ionithermie treatments.
How many Ionithermie treatments will I need?
- For immediate inch-loss and preliminary detoxification: 1-3 treatments.
- For early stage cellulite and moderate detoxification: up to 5 treatments.
- For advanced cellulite and aggressive detoxification: up to 10 treatments.
What areas can be treated with Ionithermie?
The following areas show excellent results:
- Hips
- Knees
- Thighs
- Arms
- Buttocks
- Bust
Is Ionithermie only for women?
No! Many men use the Ionithermie system to firm and tone their abdominal and waist areas. Additionally, many athletes (both male and female) use the treatments to relieve sport-related muscle tension, aches and pains.
What can I expect during my treatment?
Your
certified Ionithermie practitioner will explain each step of your treatment to you, but basically, the treatment involves the following steps:
- Your therapist will ask you several questions - some medical conditions may contraindicate the treatment.
- Your therapist will prepare your body for the treatment by dry-brushing your skin in the area of treatment and applying several all-natural products to your skin.
- The areas of treatment will be covered with a warm all-natural clay which helps conduct the stimuli.
- Your therapist will then turn on the hand-held machine, at a low level, and begin to introduce the current.
- Your treatment will last for approximately 30 minutes. The therapist will stop the machine, and remove the hardened clay (it is not necessary to shower).
- After your treatment, a moisturizing lotion will be applied to your skin.
