Other Energy Treatments (Ionithermie in Detail)

Ionithermie Luxury Detox

Ionithermie, invented over 25 years ago by a French bio-chemist, involves the use of a hand-held device which transmits two gentle forms of low-level electrical stimuli through a body mask of conductive clay. The treatments have been proven in clinical studies1 to:

  • Provide Immediate Inch-Loss ~ IONITHERMIE treatments provide the immediate and sustainable loss of up to 8 inches per treatment.
  • Break Down Fatty Deposits ~ Through a bio-chemical process known as "electrophoresis", low level stimulation moves charged particles of cosmeceutical-grade lypolytic products deep into the skin to break down fatty deposits.
  • Cleanse Skin at the Cellular Level ~ The electrical stimulation clears trapped toxins and metabolic by-products from the skin's extra cellular matrix.
  • Tone and Firm Underlying Muscles ~ Gentle electro-stimulation to the muscles in the area being treated to lift, tone, and sculpt the body. This reduced the appearance of cellulite.
  • Boost Circulation and Lymphatic Drainage ~ Independent studies show that a series of treatments increases capillary density by 30 percent, resulting in better cellular health through the increased delivery of oxygen and nutrients and the removal of cellular waste.

Q. What can I expect during my treatment?

A. Your IONITHERMIE therapist will explain each step of your treatment before and during your session. In summary, a medical history will be taken, area to be treated will be covered in thermal clay, wires and electrodes are added to the clay and therapist will add a gentle current, after 30-40 minutes clay hardened clay will be removed (a shower is not required to do so), a moisturizing lotion will be applied to the skin, and your therapist may recommend some products to use at home.

Ionithermie Before and After Case StudiesQ. How many treatments will I need?

A. For immediate inch loss and preliminary detoxification, 1 to 3 treatments are recommended. For early stage cellulite treatment and moderate detoxification, a series of 5 to 8 treatments is recommended. For the treatment of advanced cellulite and aggressive detoxification, a series of 10 to 15 treatments is recommended.

Q. What areas can be treated?

A. Hips, knees, thighs, arms, buttocks, abdomen and chest.

Q. How can I prolong the results?

A, To obtain the longest-lasting results, we recommend you undertake a healthy lifestyle, including moderate exercise, drinking 1.5 liters of water daily, and following a low-fat diet. Use of IONITHERMIE home-care products between treatments is recommended, but optional.
