BOTTOMS UP
Per the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, butt augmentation is the fastest growing surgical cosmetic procedure and has doubled in popularity since 2013 alone, but there’s a new non-invasive alternative in town that doesn’t involve anesthesia. Vacuo therapy, or known on the street as butt cupping, is a stimulation technique that naturally lifts and contours the bottom without any downtime. The procedure begins with a simple massage, then two suction cups are run over the area to stimulate the tissue, promoting blood circulation, the clearance of toxins, and a reduction in cellulite and clumpy fat deposits. One 30-minute session is the equivalent of doing 2,000 squats without the sweat.

TREE OF LIFE
For a more organic and time tested approach to body contouring, wood therapy is a centuries-old cellulite fighting technique that utilizes wooden handheld instruments to vigorously massage targeted areas of the skin. Think of it as a massage relaxing and holistic, with the added benefit of reducing the appearance of cellulite. The tools are used to apply fi rm, direct pressure to traditional problem areas, naturally breaking down excess fat and promoting lymphatic drainage, which in turn diminishes cellulite. The manipulation technique also boasts a bevy of additional benefits: it can ease sore muscles after long runs or strenuous workouts, speed up the metabolism, stimulate blood circulation, and rid the body of built-up toxins.

SMOOTH OPERATOR
It’s a simple fact of life: as we age, our skin begins to lose its natural elasticity over time, increasing the possibility of cellulite and sagging or loose skin. There have long been creams, balms, and other topical treatments that promise to blast away dimples, but cellulite is more than skin deep, and surgical procedures were traditionally the only way to see noticeable albeit temporary results. Enter the Legacy from Venus Concept, a powerful non-invasive device that’s the enemy of lax skin everywhere. The technology targets both cellulite and loose skin with multi-polar radio frequency and pulsed magnetic fields, effectively creating a heat matrix over the skin. By creating a thermal reaction under the tissue, the treatment triggers the body’s natural healing response, increasing blood flow, stimulating fat breakdown, and causing the skin to contract. This in turn slashes cellulite, tightens the skin, and even shrinks localized fat pockets. The treatment can be used on the face, neck, and body.
