Dent-free Skin Flaunting your beachwear can be tricky with that dreadful cellulite proving hard to hide; not anymore.

xercising and watching your weight might help you shed a few kilos. However, it doesn’t always help you get rid of those nasty dimples on your body. There is a new generation contouring treatment that more or less acts like an appetite suppressant for fat cells, helping you to tackle those problem areas. Its action counters that of insulin, the hormone that stimulates the synthesis of lipids in adipose tissue. Insulin acts like a messenger in the body by giving the order to the adipocytes to absorb glucose in order to trigger energy production. If this energy is not used, the adipocytes store it in the form of fat. A true contouring innovation, Insulinol Cellulite-Diet prevents glucose from penetrating into the heart of the cell and producing fat. In this way, the adipocyte is “put on a diet”, so to speak. One particular feature of this treatment is the use of a thermal body mask, allowing for accelerated penetration of the active ingredients, resulting in quicker action. The procedure takes place in two steps, first on the back of the body and then on the front. It is recommended in the form of an intensive treatment of several sessions for individuals with excessive cellulite on buttocks and thighs. This complete process also works on the evacuation of interstitial water and draining, weakened micro-capillaries, stretch marks, with preventive and curative action, and the firming of sagging tissues. Insulinol CelluliteDiet is now available at Joz Salon & Spa in Amwaj. It is advisable to book an appointment in advance. Call 16 031-120.
