F.A.Q.        |
Frequently Asked Questions: What should I expect during my treatment? We will begin with several questions to determine your objectives and any medical conditions as some conditions may contraindicate the treatment. When we are ready to start the service you will be given a disposable undergarment to put on. This is so the ingredients can penetrate through the material. We’ll do various measurements of the body area you’ve elected to treat. Your therapist will then follow by dry brushing your skin and applying several all-natural products to your skin. A mixture of the c lay and a lgae will be placed on the treatment mat, sandwiched between two large gauze sheets. You will then lay on the mixture. Two more gauze sheets will be placed on top of your treatment area and covered with the remaining clay. During the process electrodes will be properly placed into the clay. The gauze succeeds in keeping the clay sufficiently in contact with your skin without creating any need for showering afterwards. Your therapist will turn the hand-held machine will be turned on using a low setting. You will feel a slight "prickly" sensation. During the treatment the intensity of the stimulation can be turned up or down. After approximately 30-minutes, the clay mixture will be "peeled" back and measurement will be taken. The treated area will then be massaged with Lait Pour Le Corps Moisturizer. The gauze placed under the clay allows for easy clean-up; you can go straight to your next appointment or activity! What medical conditions could prevent me from receiving an Ionithermie treatment? Listed below are some medical conditions that would not allow a person to have an Ionithermie treatment. When in doubt, it is always advisable to speak with your doctor first.
Reactions to the Algae :
How often should I receive a treatment? Many people see visible results after only one treatment of Ionithermie. However, a more permanent result is achieved with a course of treatments, at a rate of two per week. A course of 5 treatments is recommended for early stages of cellulite, a course of 10 treatments for visible cellulite conditions, a course of 15-20 treatments may be necessary if the cellulite is hardened and solidified. Does the treatment hurt? The galvanic stimulation can be described as a tingly or prickly sensation, which does intensify as the stimuli is increased. The faradic stimulation contracts the tissue, so you feel the equivalent of a mild muscle contraction. This, too, increases as the stimuli is increased. 98% of our clients do not consider the treatment uncomfortable, but any discomfort can immediately be reduced by your therapist adjusting the controls. Will I have to shower immediately afterward? No. The gauze keeps the clay from becoming messy on your skin. In fact, there is a benefit to NOT washing off the lotions we apply until as late as possible. Our clients fit their sessions into all parts of their daily schedule, many of them returning to work immediately afterward. Showers are available at our facility, however. How long is the session? You should allot one hour for each session, however the first session usually takes 1 ½ hours. What can I do to maximize results? The basic good-for-you things apply here, too: eat right, exercise regularly, drink plenty of water, particularly cran-water, a dilution of cranberry juice (1 part cran; 8 parts water). At our facility we have a salt-water hydrotherapy pool. Getting into that pool for 10 minutes following Ionithermie can also heighten the benefits of your treatment. Bring your bathing suit when you come; there is no charge for use of the pool. Use of the Ionithermie home maintenance products also helps to improve results. Must I purchase the Home Maintenance Products? No, but the Les Complexes Biotechniques home care products will help you in maintaining your results. The Ionithermie treatment is still working the body for 36-48 hours after your service. It starts off the chain reaction of moving those stagnant toxins and distorted fat cells, therefore that is the time to immediately begin using the home care products, increasing or beginning an exercise program and healthy eating. Do Home Maintenance Products come with my treatment? Momentum Therapies provides the complete home maintenance product line, Les Complexes Biotechniques, to each client who signs up for a minimum of the Jump Start package (6 treatments) or Ultimate Results package (10 treatments). Is Ionithermie all I need to get rid of my cellulite? NO! There is no magic cure for cellulite, but Ionithermie is a proven method of detoxifying cells, resulting in cellulite reduction and smoother, firmer skin. For maximum results, Ionithermie should be implemented in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. Diet
