Slimming at Beyond Beauty: RF Fat Burner

Previously, I've talked about my experience with Ionto & Hot Blanket at Beyond Beauty and after more than 1 month of treatment, I've finally moved on to the next form of treatment, the RF fat burner, to further melt away my stubborn fats.

RF, which stands for Radio Frequency, promotes natural fat combustion to Free Fatty Acid (FFA) through a process called liquefaction. Rf provides a consistent and effective heating for fat underneath the skin, accelerating the cell metabolism while liquefying fat cells of targeted part of the body. The FFA are then removed from the body via the lymphatic system, giving rise to an effective slimming results. In addition, RF also stimulates the fibrous cords, stretching them to provide a tighter and smoother appearance, effectively reducing cellulite appearances.

To sum it up, the effects of RF includes:
1. Improves tissue functions (cell regeneration)
2. Accelerates cell metabolism
3. Breaks down stubborn fats
4. Improves natural healing
5. Facilitates blood and lymph circulation
6. Promotes natural fat liquefaction

You may expect the following results from a RF treatment:
1. Increased skin's firmness
2. Effective cellulite reduction
3. Rapid inch loss
4. Relief muscle tension

So after the usual routine of changing out of my apparel, taking my weight and settling down onto the treatment bed, the therapist pushed in this complicated looking RF machine. 

I'll say the RF tool (I'm tempted to call it a hammer) is pretty small but the overall experience was nothing less than comfortable. With different intensity, the tool will generate different levels of heat and the therapist will use the heated tool to massage your area of concern thoroughly for 20 minutes. Having done both my tummy and thighs, I'll say I enjoyed the treatment at my tummy a lot more. The heat from the tool felt really nice and the massaging motion was really comfortable. The tummy session was then ended with a relaxing hot mask that helps to further burn fat and tighten the skin. 

Even though this set of treatment doesn't give an immediate weight loss like the Ionto+Hot Blanket treatment, I would still very much prefer the RF treatment because the whole session just felt like a relaxing massage and I could feel that the treated area (especially my flabby tummy) felt somewhat 'tighter' just after that 20 minutes.

Beyond Beauty Slimming: Ionto & Hot Blanket

Yay, more slimming treatments! I was really glad to be able to work with Beyond Beauty this time round for a 3-months slimming programme targeting my thunder thighs. 

Needless to say, I chose to visit their outlet conveniently located at Tampines Junction every Sunday morning. 

Their treatment room is fully equipped with not just a hot bed (and blanket) and wash basin, but also a shower room with shower gel and shampoo for you to wash up after your treatment.

Here goes my 1st treatment during week 1.

After changing out of my clothes and into their white paper undies (semi-transparent, noooo!) and shower cap, the very friendly and professional staff first helped me take down my weight and body measurement before starting off with a sea salt body scrub mean for detoxification of my body and then wrapping up my thighs in cling wrap and sending me into the hot blanket for further detoxification of the body. The heat helps promote blood circulation which helps to enhance natural lymphatic flow and also helps with water retention problems. 

And if you have no idea what's a hot blanket...

This is basically what a hot blanket looks like and I've laid like so, wrapped up like a cocoon and sweated it out like a horse. The staff first left me steaming inside for the first 15 minutes before coming in to check on me every other 5 minutes to make sure that I do not get cooked giddy from the heat or over-sweating. 

The uncomfortable feeling of having large sea-salt grains on your body and sweating buckets under a hot blanket aside, I actually found it pretty funny that I actually resembled a pig getting marinated (with the salt) and then getting roasted. HAHAHA! I could really feel those large sea-salt scrubbing beads dissolving into my sweat, no joke!

And after a grueling 25 minutes, I was freed from the hot blanket and sent into the showers before moving on to part two of my treatment for the day.

Ionto (Electro-Therapy)

ElectroSlim is a customized slimming session using electrodes to treat your specific problem. This treatment has been proven to be extremely effective for firming and smoothing the musculature and connecting tissue, and as a measure to counteract cellulite. Furthermore, good results are achieved in the reduction of fatty tissue as well as activation of the micro-circulation and lymph flow.

Ionto are good for problems such as:

1. Disturbances of the metabolism

2. Weight reduction problems

3. Slack connecting tissue

4. Slack musculature

5. Cellulite

6. Panniculosus adiposus (not caused by illness)

7. Water collecting in the connecting tissue

I had 4 pads stuck on my thighs, which sends these jolts of electricity into my muscle tissues for 20 minutes straight and viola, first treatment which took me roughly about 1 hour is done! 

And after the 1 hour, I've lost about 0.6kg of weight and a total of 1.3cm reduction off my hip and thighs. 

And now to my 2nd treatment during week 2, the sea-salt scrub was taken off the treatment list and I went straight into the Ionto on a higher scale (that gave me a numb-shocking after feeling for a good few minutes) for the same 20 minutes before getting a full body wrap and lying under the hot blanket for 30 minutes! I perspired so much, my sweat trickled out from in between the cling wrap layers as I shifted my body around due to the restlessness. 

No measurements were taken after the treatment so I didn't know how many cm I've lost, but that's another 0.6kg lost after the hour's of treatment with my initial weight of the day being 0.2kg lighter than last week's. YAY!

So follow me as I continue with the remaining 3 months of my slimming journey with Beyond Beauty and for more information on Beyond Beauty's slimming, facial and spa services, do check out their website HERE
