A new method has been discovered that is able to fight cardinally fatty deposits. And he works, based on the principle of effect on fat cells by electric current. According to experts, centimeters are melting just before our eyes. The treatment is based on the mechanism of detoxification of the body, which means that by stimulating the muscles with an electric current, the water mass is eliminated. The procedure has already become widespread in the US, and as a heat conductor, conventional clay is used.
The procedure begins by measuring the volume of the problem area on the body. And after the specialist starts to directly manipulate. On the body, or rather, its specific areas, a clay mask is applied. It allows the current to penetrate deeper, and the elimination of excess weight occurs by removing fluid from the body. This impact definitely has an excellent effect on the mind, but first of all - this is getting rid of excess weight. With this procedure, you can get rid of fat on the abdomen, thighs and buttocks.
The essence of the method is that the electric current has a complex effect on fatty tissue and dramatically enhances the processes of catabolism (disintegration) of lipids.
In adipocytes, the stores of fats are mainly represented by triglycerides. These are complex organic molecules consisting of an organic alcohol of glycerin and fatty acids. In order to reduce the deposition of fat, we need to initiate the disintegration of triglycerides (actually, lipolysis), and simple molecules will later have to be disposed of and removed from the body.
The electric current warms up fatty tissue, which even more "disperses" the processes of catabolism and further degradation of fatty deposits. In addition, circulatory processes are stimulated in the problem zone, arterial blood flow and venous blood outflow increase, lymph drainage is simultaneously accelerated. All this leads to the activation of metabolic processes, to an increase in the supply of cells with oxygen, to a more effective elimination of toxic substances. As a result, a significant percentage of lipids permanently leave adipose tissue.
Slimming cosmetologists offer not only to women, but also to men who want to get rid of beer belly. However, the procedure is not permanent; to get rid by means of one influence from fatty deposits for ever it will be hardly possible, especially as all individually. Despite such positive results, doctors still believe that this is not the best way to get rid of stored fat. It would be more optimal to adhere to a healthy diet, as well as to lead an active lifestyle.
