Hardware body shaping is performed on the principle of vacuum treatment and lymphatic drainage. The main objective of hardware body shaping is cellulite therapy.
Indications for hardware body shaping:
- the presence of cellulite and excess fat deposits,
- decreased muscle tone,
- decreased elasticity and tone of the skin, which is accompanied by sagging in the gluteal region, in the abdominal and chest area,
- presence of stretch marks.
Contraindications to hardware body shaping are:
- the presence of varicose veins,
- cardiovascular diseases – hypertension, heart failure,
- blood diseases,
- pregnancy,
- malignant neoplasms,
- viral diseases in the acute period.
After applying hardware body contouring, the body contour is improved due to:
- improving overall skin tone,
- strengthening the muscular frame,
- improving microcirculation,
- activation of lipolysis processes,
- restoration of skin elasticity and firmness,
- reducing fatigue, pain and spasms,
- elimination of stretch marks.
Myostimulator for body shaping
Myostimulator for body shaping is the use of a device whose electrodes are placed in the projections of muscle motor points (hips, abdomen, chest, limbs, back) and produce pulsed currents. Myostimulation is performed on specific muscle groups in the appropriate sequence. The course consists of fifteen to twenty sessions. The current strength is initially set low and then gradually increased. There is no pain or discomfort. Myostimulation results:
- muscle strengthening,
- increased lymph and blood circulation,
- local lipolysis,
- body volume decreases rapidly,
- improving metabolism and hormonal balance.
Myostimulation is contraindicated in the following cases:
- the presence of a pacemaker,
- pregnancy,
- blood diseases,
- intolerance to pulsed current,
- skin lesions (trauma, inflammation, allergy),
- oncological diseases,
- exacerbations of chronic diseases.
Biomechanical body shaping
Biomechanical body shaping is characterized by mechanical action on muscle tissue, which is repeated at high frequency. Thus, vibrating movements are performed, which are directed towards muscle fibers and affect individual functions of the body, as a result of which:
- fat breakdown occurs,
- improving metabolic processes,
- skin tightening,
- increasing the overall tone of the body.
For biomechanical correction of the figure, the Nazarov apparatus is used, who invented and introduced this method into practical application. Classes last about one hour under the supervision of a specialist who selects the load on all muscle groups of the body.
After biomechanical correction sessions:
- excess fat deposits are eliminated,
- the appearance of cellulite decreases and disappears,
- the body shell will acquire an elegant appearance.
The course of biomechanical correction consists of at least ten sessions, conducted every other day, since after the sessions the muscles need rest for the subsequent sessions to be effective.

Vacuum body shaping
Vacuum body shaping is a massage that can be performed with or without equipment. Classic vacuum massage is done using glass jars that are placed on the skin surface, previously lubricated with special massage oil, after which a professional gets down to business. This massage helps stimulate blood flow, which is an important part of cellulite therapy. Vacuum massage is performed using equipment that has special vacuum attachments (roller or ball). Using such equipment, the following modes can be used: constant or pulsating vacuum and individually adjust the power of the vacuum effect.
Vacuum body shaping is effective:
- in the treatment of cellulite and excess fat deposits,
- to improve skin properties - tone and elasticity,
- in the elimination of scars and cicatricial changes,
- in reducing muscle pain after exercise,
- to reduce swelling.
Effects of vacuum body correction:
- helps improve blood circulation and oxygen supply to tissues,
- activates metabolic processes,
- promotes the elimination of toxins,
- improves the functioning of the lymphatic system,
- reduces swelling and muscle spasms.
Vacuum correction can be performed once, in periodic courses for the purpose of relaxing the body, or in long courses for the purpose of body shaping and cellulite therapy. In such cases, the number of sessions can be from twelve to thirty.
Lpg body shaping
Lpg body shaping is performed using anti-cellulite vacuum hardware-roller massage. This method is one of the most effective and safe methods of body shaping and cellulite therapy. During the procedure, a special suit is put on, which ensures personal hygiene.
Advantages of lpg body shaping:
- achieving the desired effect in a short time;
- high security;
- absence of pain;
- individual approach;
- sustainability of the obtained result without surgical interventions.
Effects of lpg body correction:
- reduces body volume and cellulite;
- swelling is eliminated;
- improves skin elasticity and blood circulation;
- local fat deposits are broken down;
- the body contour is modeled.
Contraindications to LPG body correction:
- pregnancy,
- exacerbation of concomitant diseases,
- neoplasms.
The duration of a session for the whole body is on average forty minutes, the frequency of sessions is two to three per week. The course consists of ten to twelve sessions. The result lasts for six months to a year. After three weeks of sessions, the weight decreases by one to two sizes.
Laser body contouring
Laser body contouring can be performed using various devices that use laser radiation. Laser correction has a number of advantages over surgical correction:
- First of all, it is a non-invasive method,
- no marks on the skin after the procedure,
- positive results are felt after the first session,
- fat is eliminated from any part of the body, even on the face, neck, back, forearms, in the knee area,
- non-traumatic method of therapy,
- highly safe and painless,
- there is no risk of destruction of skin and muscle cells,
- short rehabilitation period,
- minimal risk of hematomas and blood loss, since the laser causes the blood vessels to fuse during the procedure,
- During the procedure, the process of collagen synthesis is activated and, as a result, the occurrence of flabbiness of the skin is prevented, which plays a significant role in body shaping,
- the effect lasts for a long time.
Laser body contouring consists of six to eight procedures determined by a specialist. There may be two to three such sessions per week. The duration of a session is about one hour.
Effects after laser liposuction:
- body volumes decrease,
- stretch marks and cellulite are eliminated,
- the work of the lymphatic system is stimulated,
- improves blood circulation and tissue oxygenation,
- elasticity and firmness of the skin is restored.
After undergoing a laser correction session, it is recommended:
- Follow the appropriate diet for a week - low in fat and carbohydrates.
- Drink enough still water: one and a half to two liters per day.
- Put on compression underwear (the duration of wearing will be determined by a specialist, but the period of wearing it is several times shorter than after traditional liposuction methods).
Contraindications to laser correction:
- oncological diseases,
- chronic diseases in the acute period,
- pregnancy and breastfeeding,
- presence of a pacemaker.
Hardware body shaping is performed at least twice a week. The course lasts from eight to twelve sessions. The duration of one session for the whole body is one hour, for the upper part separately – forty minutes and for the lower part – also forty minutes.
