To firm and sculpt the body
Toning, Firming and Shaping programmes
impose perfectly adapted and progressive
work on the muscles. This very intensive
muscular activity (hundreds of seconds of
sustained contractions) first tones and
firms your muscles, then redefines their
contours to sculpt your body.
In this example, we assume that the fit-
ness enthusiast wants to work on her
arms. It is of course possible to stimulate
other muscles as well. Also this stimula-
tion routine can be applied to several
muscular groups at the same time (e.g.
arms then thighs)

To firm the body and attack cellulite
T he above specific applications is inten-
ded for people who are generally slim but
whose body lacks firmness and has local
accumulations of cellulite. The great effi-
cacy of the, Toning , Firming and Shaping
programmes allows the restoration of
strong muscles, a firm body and a shapely
figure. The local application of the Adipos-
tress programme as a complement to
another anti-cellulite treatment (ultra-
sound, drainage, hydrotherapy, suction,
compression rollers, etc.), helps you to
correct the localized defects and imperfec-
tions of the hypodermis.
I n this example, we assume that the fit-
ness enthusiast wants to work on her
thighs. It is of course possible to stimulate
other muscles as well. Also this stimula-
tion routine can be applied to several
muscular groups at the same time (e.g.
thighs then arms)
