Holistic beauty stems from both inner and outer wellbeing, says LI HUIJIA. We asked her how the non-invasive treatments at Chez Moi de Beaute help us achieve this state, through lymphatic drainage, hydrotherapy and more.
Health and beauty are inextricably linked. You and I both know the impact that something as everyday as a cold or flu, a hangover, or even a poor night’s sleep has on our appearance – let alone childbirth, chronic illness, or ageing-related issues. Eyes lose their sparkle, skin looks haggard and hair is dull. Maybe not so much in our teens and twenties, but more so the older we get. You simply don’t bounce back like you used to… and it shows.
For true health and beauty, lifestyle choices are paramount. And that’s because the core physiological functions are all interconnected, explains Huijia. “Sleep, movement, nutrition and hydration are the ingredients that improve the myriad physiological processes that keep our body in balance and therefore healthy and happy – culminating in a type of internal wellbeing that will radiate and reveal itself in our skin, our figure, and in the aura of lightness and happiness we exude.”
What is Chez Moi de Beaute’s approach to holistic beauty?
Chez Moi has a host of natural and non-invasive treatments that not only improve physical appearance in terms of slimming, fat reduction, contouring, cellulite reduction and more, but can also improve cellular function, body posture and digestion. At the same time, they are delivering lymphatic drainage and stress reduction effects. These non-invasive technologies work individually and synergistically to empower our cells to be at their healthiest and to help you look and feel your best.
Which technologies do you use for lymphatic drainage and other health benefits?
They include LPG Endermologie, Indiba Proionic System, Overline Synergy and the Hydrotherapy Ultrasonic bubble bath. We like to use them synergistically to enhance their health and beauty effects. All of our body treatment technologies have the ability to improve circulation and metabolism, which on its own brings a host of benefits.
How do these non-invasive treatments work?
- LPG Endermologie delivers a deep vibration mechanical massage, stimulating tissues and their cells to deliver health and beauty results.
- Indiba Proionic Technology uses radiofrequency (RF) to heat, tone and tighten targeted tissues.
- Overline Body Synergy is a combination of RF and electrolipolysis that delivers active ingredients by means of a wrap, used in conjunction with electricity to generate muscular contractions for an exercise effect that helps remodel and tone the body.
- The Hydrotherapy Ultrasonic Bubble Bath delivers an ultrasonic massage effect through the collision of millions of bubbles in the water.
Can you give an example?
Clients often come to us for treatments to tone and reduce their waistline and minimise bloat and tummy fat. Indiba Proionic Body treatments provide quick results by reducing volume, stimulating lipolysis (fat-burning) and improving collagen production to tighten skin – all of which are great for post-childbirth and saggy tummies. What’s more, its patented 448kHz radiofrequency (RF) bandwidth also aids digestion and circulation, improving bowel movement and reducing period cramps.
What’s so special about the 448kHz RF bandwidth at Chez Moi de Beaute?
This particular frequency has been proven to achieve a biostimulatory effect, meaning an increase in cellular metabolism, improved cell membrane permeability, and improved cellular nutrition due to better absorption of nutrients.
It triggers the optimal range of ion movement to restore electric potential and cell activity. Ion exchange processes are important for healthy cellular transport, which ensures that nutrients and nerve signals are delivered efficiently so that our body stays in balance.
While most RF technologies focus on using high-heat energy for beauty and contouring effects, Indiba’s 448kHz frequency improves cellular function and overall well-being even during low- or no-heat treatments. Of course, it can be even more effective at higher temperatures.
Similarly, Overline Body Synergy’s electrolipolysis function also stimulates ionic movement in cells – which supports cellular metabolism and improves cellular oxygenation for healthier cells.
Which technology works best to improve body posture?
LPG, which uses Endermologie – a patented method of “mecano-stimulation” – to trigger cellular re-awakening. This helps cells to function at their best potential and is excellent for firming, contouring and lymphatic drainage. This treatment feels like a comfortable machine massage, and also helps with fascia stretching and release. In the longer term, this improves posture and straightens your back and spine. Those with tight shoulders, back or thighs often report release in these areas after a session of LPG.
What about digestion?
When working on the abdomen, both LPG and Indiba protocols work deeper than skin level. The movement over the abdomen encourages peristalsis – aiding the intestinal contractions that are required for digestion, absorption of nutrients and processing of waste. This can relieve bloating, constipation and general abdominal discomfort.
Similarly, the ultrasound massage you get when immersed in the Hydrotherapy Ultrasonic Bubble Bath will penetrate deeper tissues and organs. Such stimulation will also improve the digestive processes in our gut.
Other benefits of hydrotherapy at Chez Moi de Beaute?
As it’s a short 15-minute immersion, it’s especially nice to combine it with body treatments like LPG, Overline Body Synergy and Indiba. By improving circulation and metabolism, it enhances their effects. For example:
- The exercise effect of 15 minutes of hydrotherapy equates to a 30-minute slow jog, helping the body to burn the energy released by lipolysis during LPG, Indiba and Overline Synergy.
- Before a massage or facial, hydrotherapy delivers an internal warming effect due to improved circulation. It also relaxes the muscles and activates our parasympathetic nervous system, helping us fall more easily into slumber for better rest and restoration during a massage, a facial, or even body treatments like Indiba and LPG.
- LPG and Indiba treatments can also relieve pain and aid in wound healing, even more so when combined with hydrotherapy.
Which other non-invasive treatment combinations do you like?
LPG and Indiba are two of our most popular non-invasive treatments, mainly because they’re so versatile and can be used on both the face and body. Combining them is excellent for body contouring and lymphatic drainage.
A few rounds of LPG help to break down stubborn fat and soften fibrotic tissue, which hastens the fat-burning and anti-cellulite results when we add Indiba to the non-invasive treatment plan. While you’ll get results from doing them individually, combining them will significantly speed up results.
Overline Body Synergy is our newest addition, and we have seen good results so far. Overline doesn’t require manual manipulation, so you can save time by having a facial done while the machine works on your body!
