DMK’s breakthrough product Body Sculpting can help in the battle against cellulite. The dreaded orange peel, dimpled appearance affects 90% of women no matter their size or fitness level, caused by the accumulation or enlargement of fat cells in between the connective tissue. These fat cells push up against the skin and worsen already poor circulation and lymphatic drainage.

Driven by age, genetics, stress, diet and lifestyle, cellulite can appear on the buttocks, thighs, lower abdomen, and occasionally on the breast and upper arms.

Body Sculpting works to assist in circulation, oxygenation and improve the lymphatic drainage system while helping to strengthen the connective tissue. The treatment creates a thermogenic effect creating a heat production derived from lipids (fats). The body uses the stored fat to be converted and used as energy to provide the heat.

If you are doing your lower half of the body (where most cellulite likes to play), you will be asked to wear a pair of paper undies.

Your therapist will first cleanse and exfoliate the areas with a DMK Hydra Loofah, before generously applying the DMK Body Sculpting Crème to your body.

To make sure it sinks into your skin effectively, your areas will be wrapped with Glad Wrap.

You are then to settle under the blankets and relax for 30 minutes. This is when you will feel the thermogenic effect as your body starts to heat up. Then the glad wrap is removed and the remaining crème is massaged in.

No, the process is relaxing and pain-free (once you adapt to the idea of having glad wrap around your body).

Some effects that you may experience are:

• When wrapped, the Cassia (which is an ingredient derived from a Chinese Cinnamon nut) creates a pseudo heat when wrapped.
  

• Redness, heat and a slight stinging/throbbing sensation are likely while you are having the treatment. This is normal and to be expected due to the Cassia creating a false or pseudo heat. This pseudo heat increases blood circulation, which flushes through nutrients and oxygen, delivering them to the area strengthening the connective tissue. This sensation is quite similar to the redness and heat you may experience when you are exercising or having a hot shower.

You will see and feel smoother and firmer skin post your first treatment, however depending on the severity of your concerns and the results you’re after, it is recommended that you have a series of DMK Body Sculpting Treatments weekly for optimum results.

This treatment remains active for up to 12 hours and stays in your cells for up to three days. You may experience pinkness post treatment.

As the treatment uses Cassia (derived from a Chinese Cinnamon nut), it is not recommended for those allergic to nuts. Find out if this treatment is right for you by booking a Skin Consultation.
