For those wishing to drop a dress size, the Ballancer Pro adaptive compression system offers hope in the form of lymphatic drainage. “It is like wringing out a washcloth…the mass is lessened without the fluid,” says Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Gabriel Chiu. The process also reduces water retention, bloating, inflammation and lymphedema, and alleviates after-workout soreness in athletes so they can train without pain. Besides treating cellulite, Ballancer Pro shrinks cells and enhances their firmness and elasticity, resulting in a firmer, younger-looking you. “There’s a noticeable difference after one treatment,” says Chiu. “Optimal results are achieved after six.” $200/45 min. 9454 Wilshire Blvd., B.H., 310-888-8087; beverlyhillsplasticsurgeryinc.com.

THE TREATMENT
Boxing is back, again. Numerous facilities have opened around L.A. to satisfy locals’ urge to jab. “We are blending a traditional boxing gym experience, where our community can train like athletes, with a modern boutique fitness experience that feels welcoming and supportive,” says Prevail Boxing owner Milan Costich. A typical stress-relieving session incorporates boxing technique, agility, plyometrics, core work and strength training, a cross-training regimen that produces lean results. Celebrities including Kendall Jenner, Hailey Baldwin, Amanda Seyfried and Justin Bieber are setting aside their yoga mats in favor of this intense workout. “It gives you a sense of badassery,” says Erika Hammond, founding trainer of Rumble, another group-friendly boxing gym. Costich agrees. “Boxing appeals to the modern-day woman. Equally physical and mental, it’s strong but sexy.”
