We tested Body Contouring to smooth, tone and firm the body effortlessly.

In our quest for innovative, body-friendly treatments, we were lucky enough to discover the BodyLift protocol offered by Maison Lutétia. This treatment combines the advanced technologies of Cool Waves and Body RF radiofrequency to smooth and firm the skin while visibly reducing cellulite, all without effort or pain. We tell you all about this treatment, ideal for toning the figure without breaking a sweat. 

What is the BodyLift protocol? 

Imagined by Maison Lutétiathe aesthetic medicine center specializing in quiet beauty, the BodyLift protocol is a non-invasive body treatment designed to gently smooth, firm and redefine body contours. Pain-free and socially acceptable, this treatment is based on the combination of two cutting-edge technologies: 

  • Cool Waves™: to target the fatty clusters responsible for the orange peel appearance.

  • Body RF radiofrequency: to stimulate collagen production for visibly firmer skin.

 

It's a complete solution for regaining a toned, comfortable figure and smooth skin, all without effort or compromise, and always respectful of the body and its needs. 

The Body RF bipolar radiofrequency system

Body RF is a bipolar radiofrequency system that heats the skin deep down by sending out high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The heat generated by the waves stimulates the fibroblasts responsible for collagen and elastin production, helping to melt surface fat, firm and tone the skin, and improve its texture, firmness and elasticity. The treated area reaches a temperature of 39° and up to 47°C in just a few minutes, thanks to the action of 3 to 6 rotating electrodes. This rotation ensures even energy distribution and constant heat, maximizing the effectiveness of the treatment. 

Cool Waves microwaves 

Complementary to radiofrequency, Cool Waves™ is a microwave technologyfor treating localized fat and smoothing skin texture. The technique is based on the emission of electromagnetic microwaves at a specific frequency of 2.45 GHz. These waves penetrate deep into subcutaneous tissue, specifically targeting fat cells (adipocytes) while protecting surrounding tissue from heat.

They rupture the membranes of adipocytes, releasing their lipid content and eliminating it naturally through the lymphatic system, and act on the connective fibers responsible for the orange-peel appearance. In short, they eliminate fat cells, help reduce cellulite and firm the skin. 

The benefits of this treatment combining radiofrequency and microwaves 

Completely pain-free and suitable for all skin types, the BodyLift protocol is particularly suited to people wishing to improve skin quality and firmness without resorting to an intensive sports program or more invasive methods. It offers a gentle, effective approach to restoring smoother, more toned skin , and enables :

  • Eliminate fat cells: by combining radiofrequency with intelligent microwaves, this protocol creates adipocyte stress. In fact, this process empties fat cells, removing excess fat by moving it to the lymphatic system for elimination. 

  • Smooth cellulite and target dimpled skin: microwave energy reactivates fibroblast activity, targeting adipocytes and water retention to combat the appearance of orange-peel skin and gradually smooth cellulite over time. 

  • Firm the skin: the heat induced by the microwaves of Cool Waves and the bipolar radiofrequency of Body RF causes collagen fibers to shrink, counteracting skin slackening and toning and firming the skin. 

How does the BodyLift protocol work?

The BodyLift protocol offered by Maison Lutétia takes place over 5 weeks, with one Body RF session and one Cool Waves™ session per week (for a total of 10 sessions). Before the treatment begins, an assessment is carried out by a Maison Lutétia expert to fully understand the needs of each individual, identify the areas to be treated and rule out any contraindications.

Before each treatment, a conductive gel is applied to the skin to ensure that the handpiece glides easily over the area to be treated. Then the practitioner will massage each area (10 minutes per area) using the specific handpiece for Cool Waves™ and Body RF radiofrequency, using slower circular movements for radiofrequency and faster for Cool Waves™. The skin heats up, but the treatment remains comfortable. Note that the Cool Waves™ treatment incorporates a cooling system to ensure comfort throughout the session. 

After the treatment, a short toning and draining massage is performed to help dislodge ingrained fat and immediately tone the tissues. A body treatment is applied afterwards to help smooth and firm the skin. 

Each session lasts 45 minutes, with results appearing as early as the 4th session. The BodyLift protocol can treat the arms, abdomen and abdominal muscles, thighs, buttocks and buttock crease, as well as the lower back. 

Our opinion on this firming and smoothing treatment

Specializing in non-invasive treatments, the Maison Lutétia is the benchmark center for quiet beauty, dedicated to discreet treatments that enhance rather than transform the skin. Located in the heart of the 17th arrondissement, in a sublime 5-star palatial mansion, the center has specialized in hair transplants since 2013, but is also the place to take care of your skin and figure. In fact, Maison Lutétia has perfected a complete, personalized BodyLift protocol that I was lucky enough to try out, for a pain-free silhouette enhancement. 

Having cellulite on my thighs, which is very noticeable and difficult to dislodge despite exercise, I've been amazed by the effects of this protocol. As well as seeing my skin firm up with each session, I find my legs lighter and much smoother. Although cellulite hasn't totally disappeared, it was greatly reduced by the 2nd week. In terms of pain, the treatment is not unpleasant, although the heat, which intensifies during the session, may surprise even the most sensitive skin. All in all, both treatments are quite pleasant, offering a gentle massage of the legs.

Information & details

BodyLift Protocol price: from €1,920 for 10 sessions.

Note that to maintain the benefits of the protocol, a balanced diet and regular physical activity are essential. And to maintain results, Maison Lutétia recommends a session every two months.
