Lypossage
(coming soon!)
Finally, Nonsurgical Body Contouring & Cellulite Treatments That Deliver Measurable Results!
by Lypossage®, The World's #1 Manual Treatments for the Body, Skin & Face!
Why do I have cellulite, lumps and bulges?
The fatty
tissue of your body acts as a "toxic waste disposal site," where
substances that it cannot metablolize are dumped. This congested tissue
can have poor circulation (you'll note that cellulite prone areas are
cool to the touch). Lymphatic flow may also be restricted by tight
undergarments and pantyhose. The cellulitic layer is a physiological
fatty layer that is supposed to be there. The extent to which it is
visible is affected by several variables including: genetic
predispostion, dietary habits, exercise habits, and hormones among
others.
Where Does The Lypossage® Technique Come From?
The
Lypossage treatment is a specific blend of massage modalities that
derive from physical therapy, including deep lymphatic drainage and deep
tissue release. It was created by Charles W. Wiltsie III, LMT, an
internationally recognized massage therapy educator and practitioner.
Mr. Wiltsie conducted a year long study of 100 female subjects that documented the effectiveness of the technique. The study was published in Massage and Bodywork Magazine
in 1999. In the study, notable results included an average inch loss
of 1-1/2 inches per thigh, and a cumulative average inch loss of almost 7
inches. How does Lypossage® work, and is it safe?
Lypossage
cleanses the body of stagnant, stalled lymphatic fluid (Lymph edema)
that can create the lumps and bulges we know as figure imbalance. The
deeper Lypossage strokes break up adhesions under the skin that can
contribute to the dimpled, uneven appearance of cellulite. Lypossage
also tones the muscles, lifting and firming sagging tissue.
What parts of the body respond to Lypossage®?
Lypossage can be performed on three areas of the body known as zones. The zones are defined as follows:
Zone 1:
refers to the lower body, including the hips, thighs, buttocks, and
lower abdomen. Expected outcomes for this part of the body include
dimension loss, structural improvements (posture and carriage),
diminished look of cellulite, improved muscle tone, improved skin tone,
cleansing of the lymphatic system, and improved circulation.
Zone 2:
includes the upper abdomen, back, decollete (chest and neck area) and
arms. This zone targets improving posture, dimension loss in the arms
and abdomen, toning and firming of the bust area, and improving
circulation and lymphatic flow in the upper body.
Zone 3: is
performed on the head, neck, and face. This can provide quite dramatic
results in lifting and toning sagging tissues in the lower face and
neck, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles, and significantly
improving skin tone and texture. This truly is a "natural" face lift.
I've heard that machines can do this too. Why should I choose Lypossage®?
Lypossage
is the leading manual body contouring modality in the world. While
both approaches deliver gratifying results, Lypossage® appeals to the
person who prefers to have treatments performed by hand, rather than
with a machine. It must also be performed by a trained massage
therapist or other qualified health services professional for the whole
body treatment; or by aestheticians for the head, neck, and face; there
are no such requirements of contouring machines. For those who prefer body contouring machines, operated by highly trained technicians, Lypossage does offer this option. Is it safe?
Lypossage®
is a non-invasive, natural health treatment that helps to cleanse the
body of toxins and retaining fluids. Most clients find that Lypossage®
enhances their energy and mental clarity. While there are some
contraindications for specific medical conditions, Lypossage® can be
safely experienced by most healthy
individuals. It is much safer than surgical procedures such as
liposuction. However, for those who opt for a more dramtic surgical
result, Lypossage can be very beneficial both before and after the
liposuction proceedure.
Who can perform my Lypossage® treatments?
Lypossag®e practitioners
(Lypotherapists) are specially trained massage and body professionals
who have learned this extraordinary hands-on technique; these
Lypotherapists are certified to practice under the Lypossage® name.
How are my treatments scheduled?
Each
Lypossage® session lasts about 30 minutes and is performed in a series
of 18 sessions over the course of 4-6 weeks. It is important to note
that for most clients, it takes 8-10 sessions before the results of the
initial treatments become noticeable. After that, progress can often be
quite dramatic. Combining Lypossage® with Lypossage® wraps, and the
new LypoSlim® wrap, further enhances your results.
What are some typical results and how will I know what mine are?
While results may vary, cumulative dimension loss
over five key measuring points in Zone 1, the average was 6.75 inches
in the original study. However, it is not uncommon to find cumulative
inch loss of up to 13 or 14 inches. One client in the study lost almost 3
inches in her waist alone. One client in Ohio, while combining Zone 1
and Zone 2 had a cumulative inch loss of 21 inches in the 10 measuring
points for those zones! Most women find that they will drop one or two
dress sizes without a significant reduction in their weight. Your
Lypotherapist will weigh, measure, and photograph you before you begin your program, and at key intervals to track your progress. Is there a special diet or exercise program?
Though
the individuals in the Lypossage® study were restricted from initiating
any new diet or exercise program during the course of thier treatments,
we find that most clients become so inspired by their Lypossage® results
that they readily adopt lifestyle changes that help them progress even
more rapidly. A diet rich in whole, organic foods and regular body
movement will contribute to a terrific outcome. Avoiding foods
containing refined sugars, preservatives, hormones, caffeine and salt,
will keep your newly detoxified body in the best shape possible.
Drinking significant amounts of water is also key to keeping the body
hydrated and cleansed.
What should I do on my own to enhance the results of my treatment?
We
recommend that you follow an at-home body care regime, including
specialized Lypossage® treatment products to stimulate circulation in
cellulite-prone areas, exfoliate and hydrate the skin, as well as
improve its tone and elasticity. The Lypossage® Home Care Collection
should be available to you through your Lypossage® Practitioner
(Lypotherapist) or facility and provides state of the art spa formulas
that will bring your skin and body into beautiful condition. What do I need to do to maintain my results?
Maintenance
programs will be customized to the needs of each individual client. At
completion of a Lypossage® series, your Lypotherapist will sit down
with you to do a final consultation, including going over your results
with you and providing thoughtful recommendations on what your
maintenance should be. Continuing with the Home Care Protocol and a
program of monthly or bi-monthly maintenance treatments will help you
retain your results.
