Energy boost: Red Light Therapy

What it is: Theralight 360, also known as Photobiomodulation, offers complete immersion of the body in red and infrared light, to promote healing and regeneration. 

The benefits: it promotes the release of serotonin and endorphins to improve mood and boost energy, relieves pain and inflammation, and helps speed up the healing process while promoting muscle recovery and reducing fatigue. 

The treatment to accompany your cure: It's Lit LED Gua Sha Solaris NY

Our verdict: "I couldn't wait to try out the Kardashian family's wellness secret! This 45,000-LED red light bed (with cold rays) is a multi-benefit jewel of technology, as it exposes the body to 360°! After a 20-minute "siesta", you feel soothed and recharged (as well as having boosted your collagen production!). After several sessions, we see real results on the skin, body and mind, as the red waves - by penetrating deeply - calm the various inflammations: less stress, less pain, better sleep, improved skin elasticity etc... I dream of having one in my home!" - Fanny, Communications Director

#seo: cryowave octane

To target cellulite and firmness: the CRYO Wave

What it is: a non-invasive technology combining cryolipolysis and thermal shock, alternating hot and cold to reshape the silhouette and target and eliminate stubborn fat

The benefits: the treatment reshapes the silhouette and stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture while visibly reducing cellulite for smoother, firmer skin.

The treatment to accompany your cure: Firming Body Cream Patyka

Our verdict: "Having been somewhat frightened by the -110°C cryotherapy cabin, I preferred to try the CRYOWave. Even though the temperature of the applicator can drop as low as -10°C, the sensation is almost pleasant, no doubt thanks to the hot massage that precedes it and the heated mattress on which you lie. Although 5 sessions are recommended, after one session I noticed a slight improvement in skin texture, with skin looking smoother and softer. I plan to spend my whole summer there... " - Elsa, Editorial Content Manager

#seo: embody body toning

For firming and sculpting: EMBody Body Toning

Whatit is: an electrostimulation treatment to target and tone the muscles of the abdomen, buttocks or thighs, thus slimming and toning. 

The benefits: like an intense sports session for optimal toning and fat reduction, toning and sculpting for a slimmer figure, all without pain. 

The treatment to accompany your cure: Firming Body Sérum Raffermissant 290 L:a Bruket

Our verdict: "I did 5 sessions over a month before I left for Mexico (the swimsuit operation in March is always a bit tricky). I needed a quick boost to tone and firm my buttocks to complement my sports sessions. This technique helps redefine and sculpt the shape of the buttocks and tone the skin. You gain muscle mass and gradually lose the little layer of fat responsible for our friends' dimpled skin! - Fanny, Communications Director

#seo : pressotherapy

To combat heavy legs: Pressotherapy

What it is: a draining massage technique using high boots that compress with compressed air for 30 minutes or 1 hour.

The benefits: like a drainageLike a drainage system, the boots stimulate the lymphatic system to promote blood and lymphatic circulation, reduce the sensation of heavy legs, optimize recovery after exercise and restore a slimmer silhouette. 

Care to accompany your treatment: Silhouette Food Supplement Oh My Cream Skincare

Our verdict: "The sensation is not unpleasant... To tell the truth, apart from a little tingling or prickling, what you really feel is how quickly your legs feel light again. I was blown away by how much less swollen my legs looked once the boots were off. A quick treatment that really makes a difference when, like me, you suffer from poor circulation." - Elsa, Editorial Content Manager
