Almost every spa offers you extra treatments that promise to help you lose weight. The question is does these treatments really work or you’re giving your money for nothing?
Vela Shape
Vela Shape is a combination of massage, radio-frequency and infrared light that reduces fat. In just 30 minutes you can lose an inch from your thighs, buns and abs. This treatment can cost 300$ to 600$.
Slimming Body Wrap
This is a treatment where you’re bandaged in mineral soaked cloths and covered with blankets. You can lose up to 20 inches from various body parts in the first hour. The reality is that this treatment dehydrates your body and that’s why you lose all those inches, but as soon as drink water in a day or two, the inches will be back.
Cool Sculpting
This treatment is done with a cooling applicator that can remove fat from specific areas, by freezing fat cells beneath your skin. You’ll look the same after the treatment, but the dying fat cells could make you thinner in a period of 2 months. These treatments can cost you around 1.700$.
People want and do these treatments because they want quick results without putting much effort. The treatments are less invasive than gastric bypass surgery and liposuction but are much easier than changing your eating habits and regular exercising.
The problem with these treatments is that the quick fixes don’t last long. To maintain the lost inches you need to eat healthy and exercise regularly. The pounds will come back again if you don’t make any changes in your lifestyle. The key to long term weight loss success is a change of behavior and change in your eating habits. If you’re going to try any of these treatments, we advise you to combine your treatments with some exercises and some healthy foods. That’s the only way to keep the fat from coming back.
