Many women in Zurich between the ages of 25 and 55 would like to have a slimmer, more defined body. Dieting and exercise often prove to be tedious and not always effective. The pressure to conform to a certain ideal of beauty is still present in our society, and so many people are looking for effective ways to feel more comfortable in their own skin. Studies show that young adults and women in particular are often dissatisfied with their body image, which can have a negative impact on their self-esteem and quality of life. Even women who are of normal weight often express a desire to be slimmer.
In this article, we present three innovative services that your Beauty Institute in Zurich can offer you as supportive measures on the way to your desired weight: the Endospheres therapythe mesotherapy and body wraps. These methods can be particularly effective when combined with a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and regular exercise. Discover how these advanced methods can help you shape your figure and improve your well-being.
Endospheres therapy: the innovative method for body contouring
The Endospheres therapy is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It is based on an innovative technology that uses compressive micro-vibration to target the tissue.
How does Endospheres Therapy work for weight loss? (Technology and mode of action)
At the heart of Endospheres therapy is a handpiece containing 55 hypoallergenic silicone spheres arranged in a honeycomb structure. These spheres rotate and generate low-frequency mechanical vibrations. This combination of vibration and pressure works deep in the tissue and can support weight loss in various ways.
(a) Mode of action of compressive microvibration during weight loss
The compressive micro-vibration of Endospheres therapy stimulates the metabolism in the treated areas. The gentle but deeply effective mechanical waves improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. This helps the body to remove stored fluids and toxins, which in turn can promote the reduction of fat deposits. Studies have shown that this therapy improves microcirculation and can activate the metabolism at a cellular level. The treatment also affects the fibroblasts, which are responsible for collagen production, which can lead to an improvement in skin structure.
(b) Typical benefits of Endospheres Therapy for weight loss
Endospheres therapy offers a range of benefits that can support you on your weight loss journey. These include reducing body circumference, particularly in problem areas such as the abdomen, thighs and buttocks, and improving skin texture by stimulating collagen and elastin production, which contributes to a firmer and smoother skin appearance. The therapy promotes fat loss in the treated areas and can also reduce water retention, which leads to a lighter body feeling. Many customers also report a reduction in cellulite.
(c) Course of a treatment session and recommended number of sessions
A typical Endospheres therapy session begins with the application of a special massage oil to the areas of the body to be treated. The speed of the massager is then individually adjusted. The practitioner guides the handpiece with the rotating silicone balls over the problem areas, applying a combination of pressure and vibration. A session usually lasts between 45 and 60 minutes. For visible weight loss results, a course of 6 to 12 sessions is usually recommended, ideally two to three times a week.
(d) Expected results in terms of weight and circumference reduction
After completing an Endospheres therapy course, you can expect a reduction in body circumference of up to 2.5 cm. Clinical studies have shown an average 39% improvement in cellulite, and many clients report dropping a dress size. Many users feel lighter after the first treatment and notice a reduction in swelling. It is important to note that results can vary from individual to individual and depend on factors such as your initial weight and lifestyle.
Mesotherapy: targeted active ingredients for your figure
The mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure in which fine needles are used to inject a customized combination of active ingredients into the middle layer of the skin (the mesoderm). This method can be used specifically to support weight loss.
(a) The procedure of microinjections to support weight loss
Mesotherapy involves repeated microinjections into the skin using very fine needles. The injected active ingredients can help to dissolve fat cells, improve blood circulation and stimulate the metabolism. The exact composition of the injection solution is tailored to your individual needs.
(b) Types of active substances and their mechanisms of action for weight reduction
Various active ingredients are typically used in mesotherapy for weight loss. These include fat-reducing substances such as phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate, which are intended to break down the cell membranes of fat cells and thus enable them to be broken down. L-carnitine is also often used to promote the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are burned for energy. Caffeine and other methylxanthines can also be used to stimulate lipolysis. In addition, vitamins, minerals and plant extracts can be used to stimulate the metabolism and firm the skin. These active ingredients aim to break down fat cells, improve blood circulation and firm the skin structure.
(c) This is how a mesotherapy session works.
The skin is thoroughly cleansed before the treatment. Depending on sensitivity, an anesthetic cream may be applied. The active substances are then injected into the affected areas such as the thighs, hips and stomach using very fine needles. A session usually lasts around 20 to 30 minutes. If necessary, an anesthetic cream can be applied before the treatment.
(d) What can you expect in terms of weight and circumference reduction?
For visible results, 3 to 6 sessions at intervals of 1 to 2 weeks are usually required. The expected results include smoother skin, a reduction in the appearance of cellulite and improved skin elasticity and evenness. Improvements are often gradual and become more noticeable after a few sessions.
Body wraps: A beneficial support on the way to your desired weight.
Body wraps are treatments in which the body is wrapped in special materials such as foil or cloth, often after the application of creams, oils or other substances. They are believed to work through various mechanisms to help with weight loss.
What effect do body wraps have on weight loss?
Body wraps are designed to support weight loss through various mechanisms. These include detoxifying the body, stimulating the metabolism and promoting blood circulation. There are different types of body wraps, such as algae, mud or herbal wraps, each of which is said to have specific effects on the body.
What benefits are attributed to body wraps?
Body wraps are said to have various weight loss benefits, including cellulite reduction, fat reduction, skin tightening and detoxification. However, it is important to note that the scientific evidence for the long-term effectiveness of body wraps against cellulite may be limited.
The course of a body wrap treatment.
During a body wrap treatment, a treatment product is first applied to the skin. The body is then wrapped in bandages or plastic wrap and you can relax for 20 to 60 minutes. After the application time, the wrap is removed.
A realistic perspective: Scientific evidence and expected results
The results of body wraps are often temporary and mainly due to water loss. There is no clear scientific evidence of a long-term reduction in cellulite through body wraps.
Comparison of the three methods: a clear overview
To give you a better overview, we have compared the three treatment methods in the following table:
Aspect | Endospheres therapy | Mesotherapy | Body wrap |
|---|---|---|---|
Mechanism of action | Compressive micro-vibration to improve blood circulation, lymphatic drainage, reduction of fat deposits and muscle toning | Microinjections of active ingredients to stimulate microcirculation, break down fat cells and improve lymphatic and venous drainage | Bandages soaked in special “skin cocktails” that bring warmth and active ingredients to the skin |
Invasiveness | Non-invasive | Minimally invasive | Non-invasive |
Typical advantages | Reduction in the appearance of cellulite, skin tightening, improvement in skin structure, promotion of lymphatic drainage, muscle relaxation | Reduction of cellulite, improvement of skin texture, increase in skin elasticity and evenness | Relaxation, temporary skin smoothing and moisturizing, potential short-term reduction of cellulite due to water loss |
Recommended number of sessions | 6-12 sessions (2-3 times per week) | 3-6 sessions (every 1-2 weeks) | May vary depending on your wishes and treatment |
Suitability as a supportive measure | Very well suited | Well suited | Conditionally suitable (results often temporary) |
Choosing the right treatment for you: Personalized recommendations
The choice of the best treatment depends on various factors, such as the degree of your cellulite, your personal preferences (non-invasive vs. minimally invasive) and the desired results.
- Endospheres therapy could be ideal for you if you are looking for a non-invasive option that potentially offers comprehensive body contouring and wellness benefits. It is suitable for various degrees of cellulite.
- Mesotherapy could be the right choice if you want a more targeted treatment with a potentially more direct effect on fat cells and cellulite. It is more suitable for mild to moderate cellulite.
- Body wrap could provide a pleasant spa experience with potentially temporary skin-smoothing and moisturizing effects. They may be best suited for mild cellulite or as a complementary treatment.
Maximize your results: Combination of treatments and healthy habits
It is conceivable that the combination of the three treatment methods could achieve synergistic effects. For example, the Endospheres therapy after a mesotherapy treatment to promote lymphatic drainage and support the elimination of broken down fat cells. Combining it with other established weight loss methods such as a change in diet and regular exercise can also significantly improve results. A holistic approach that combines various weight loss and body contouring strategies is often the key to long-term success.
