Methods of figure correction

The methods for correcting the figure are manifold. There are varieties of methods that: 

• cause the splitting of fats (lipolysis), 
• inhibit the formation of fats in the body, 
• improve the blood supply of muscle tissue and fat, 
• remove excess fluid from the body, etc.

These methods are divided into the following categories: 

1. The main ones, which are aimed at splitting fats in the body and reducing the number of fat cells - lipolysis. These include: 
   • ozonotherapy, 
   • mesotherapy. 
2. Drainage, characterized by the removal of the body decay products and toxic substances formed during the splitting of fats. The draining methods include: 
   • lymphatic drainage, 
   • thalassotherapy, 
   • Pressotherapy. 
3. Auxiliary - are aimed at improving the blood circulation of soft tissues, which prepares the body for the procedures, enhances and prolongs their action: 
   • various types of massage (manual and hardware), 
   • physiotherapy techniques. 
4. Preventive methods that are aimed at achieving and maintaining the achieved results: 
   • rational balanced nutrition, 
   • playing sports.

Before proceeding with the correction of the figure, it is necessary to conduct a diagnostic examination of the whole body with the bioimpedance analyzer to measure the level and ratio of fat and muscle tissue.

Correcting a figure with clothes

Correction of the figure with clothing involves wearing special underwear, belts, corsets, shorts, leggings and combos. Such clothes will emphasize dignity and hide faults. Clothing for correcting the figure should be good for passing moisture and air.

   • Modeling underwear has a pulling effect or can give volumes in places where it is necessary (for example, push-up bras). 
   • When wearing corrective linen, the shape of the body changes not only visually, but also really decreases in size, due to a change in the proportions of the figure. This happens for a set of redistribution of the fat layer, due to the special cut of such linen. To achieve this result, it is necessary to wear this underwear daily (about ten hours a day). 
2. The belt for correction of the figure, as a rule, is equipped with massage rollers with several modes, but there are also no massage aids. The action of the belt is based on the loss of moisture, due to the fact that a person sweats while wearing it, and also improves blood circulation and accelerates metabolism. And as a result, fat deposits are burned faster, and the waist is adjusted. 
3. The corset for correcting the figure supports the spinal column, reduces and eliminates the tension of the muscles of the back, increases the turn of the shoulders and corrects the posture. 
4. Shorts for correction of the figure are recommended in case of necessary correction in the buttocks, hips. And the presence of a high waist in shorts will have an additional pull-up effect on the abdomen.

In the case of diseases such as varicose veins, violation of lymph drainage, edema, etc., before buying and wearing corrective underwear, you should consult your doctor to avoid complications.
