Some areas of the body are known for having stubborn fat (like waist, stomach, buttocks and arms), meaning that it may remain visible even after diets or exercises. As an alternative to these areas, devices to improve body contour can be used.
They are easily found on esthetic clinics but now there are also at-home options to invest in and do your own treatment whenever you want.
To tone and firm these areas, it is important to stimulate the skin cells and improve blood circulation with a device of your choice.
The company SIXPAD has a few electrical muscle stimulation devices for different body areas. The Absfit is especially designed to tone stubborn abdominal muscles, with a professionally developed 23-minute routine. There is also the Leg Belt and Arm Belt, with pads for those areas and the Bodyfit device, which can be adapted to use on various body parts.
Another very popular device is the NuBODY Skin Toning Challenge Kit, which uses microcurrent technology to stimulate the natural electric current, stimulating the muscles and improving cellular strength.
The Sensica Sensifirm Cellulite Reduction & Body Contouring Device uses a combination of radio frequency with gentle vibrations and manual massage as short treatments to tone and improve the appearance of cellulite on the body.
These are only a few of a long list of devices that can be used to improve body contour at home. After picking your favorite, with a few weeks of constant use (they usually take 10 to 20 minutes to complete a treatment), the results will be visible and closer to your body objective.
