Firming treatment of the abdomen
The flabiness in the abdomen denotes an alteration of the tissues of the
skin characterized by the loss of tone and elasticity of the musculature
and abdominal cutaneous tissues. It is usually the result of cutaneous
ageing, it can also be observed after pregnancies in this zone,
as well as in the breasts, generalized after very weakening illnesses,
or due to the lack of physical exercise.
The firming treatments of the abdomen are applied separately or
combined in cases of cellulitis, obesity and mammarian ptosis. The
flabiness in the abdomen is usually manifested in a pronounced form
due to frequent pregnancies. A paliative treatment with AUTOMATIC
VITALTERM will favour the recovery of the abdominal musculature
and, if the flabiness is very manifest, isotonic electrostimulation
must also be applied through passive exercise. If the muscular and
cutaneous slacking is excessive, you must correct it with aesthetic
surgery as a last resort.
The cutaneous needs of the treatment of firming of the abdomen
is the improvement of the cutaneous elasticity and the increase
of muscular tone. Abdominal flabiness is manifested by a lack of
tone and elasticity of the straight muscles and oblique abdominal
muscles, that will be perceptible clearly in the palpation. The
lack of muscular tone is appreciated by a disconnection between
the superficial musculature and the skin that covers it, and is
usually accompanied by a lack of tone and elasticity of the straight
and oblique abdominal muscles, that will be pertceptible clearly
in the palpation. The lack of muscular tone is appreciated by a
disconnection between the superficial musculature and the skin that
covers it , and it is usually accompanied by flabiness in other
zones like the thighs, arms or breasts that will require at the
same time their owwn treatment.
The AUTOMATIC VITALTERM System favours the penetration of deep substances, causes
a deep hyperthermia that favours the vascularization of the tissue
and, therefore, the metabolic processes. The cosmetics with regenerating
and firming action can be serums, biological concentrates, active
biomarine principles, collagen, elastine, oligoelements, etc. Also
extracts of vegetal origin like asian centella, equinacea, ginseng,
lupule, pony tail, etc. The organic silicon, the same as the minerals
and oligoelements, all of them derived from algae (fucus, laminaria,
litotame) they will also have an active role. The firming creams
can also include vegetable oils (wheat germ, rose hip, jojoba, etc,)
and animals, rich in vitamins A, E, F, escualene, etc. The ampoules
are usually of tissue extract base (placenta or more recently of
embryonic vegetable tissues), serums, phitobiological preparations,
vitamins, glychoproteins (fibronectine, tubuline, mucopolysaccharides—hiluronic
acid).
The AUTOMATIC VITALTERM treatment can be complemented with the
application of passive exercise, since the excitomotor currents
improve the muscular tone. In order to obtain the best results possible,
it is recommended to apply in first place the AUTOMATIC VITALTERM
and, then, the electrostimulation plates. The reason that explains
the biological efficiency of this order is the fact that passive
exercise tones more intensely the musculature when an internal vasodilation
has been generated previously, when the cosmetological chemical
substances have been penetrated with the active principles and when
an intense cellular oxygenation has been produced. Then the electrostimulation
is much more active and effective.
The work standard is of two sessions per week for 10 – 15
sessions. Once the treatment has finished, one maintenance session
per month is recommended.
Treatment of FIRMING OF ABDOMEN
 |
With tissue paper we avoid the nicker
from staining. The passive plate is placed in the lumbar zone |
 |
 |
The firming product is penetrated with
a massage in the whole surface of the abdomen. |
 |
The passive plate is situated in the
opposite part to the treatment zone, in the back. This plate
must be placed in the waist downwards. Conducting gel is applied
with the help of a tweezer. |
 |
 |
Power is given to the appliance. |
 |
The straight upper abdominal is worked. |
 |
The lower recto abdominal is worked. |
 |
When the first part of the treatment
has finished, the passive plate is placed in the abdominal
plane and the active plate in the opposite side. With this
positioning of the plates, the current strengthens the abdominal
muscles of the surface planes. It is important that the plates
are intimately in contact with the client’s skin. |
 |
The power of the appliance is programmed. |
 |
The session is in process. The time
of therapy with the active plate is from 10 to 15 minutes
approximately. |
| TREATMENT TYPE:
|
Firming of abdomen |
| NUMBER OF SESSIONS: |
12-15 sessions. |
| TIME PER SESSION: |
18 minutes (8 minutes: introduction of the product
with the round plate; 10 minutes: rectangular active plate).
|
| FRECUENCY OF THE SESSIONS:
|
2 or 3 times per week |
| PRODUCT USED: |
Firming product (if this is geloid it is not
necessary to apply a contact gel as well) |
| PROBLEM: |
Flabiness of the skin and of the abdominal muscles;
sagging. |
| ELEMENTS TO TREAT: |
The abdominal zone: we can differentiate a central
part and two sides (right and left). |
| POSITION OF THE CLIENT:
|
The client must be lying upwards on a bed. |
| ACCESSORIES |
-CIRCULAR PLATE |
| - Application: |
Circular applications of strong constant pressure. |
| -Size |
The size of the accessory must agree with the
volume of the abdomen. It is recommended to use the accessory
of greatest size. |
| PLACAS ACTIVAS |
|
| -Placing: |
In the abdomen: right or left part. The cable
of the plate must be placed underneath. |
| -Passive: |
-When the ROUND PLATE is used, the passive plate
is placed in the lumbar zone. (if the client has a DIU, put
the passive plate in the upper lumbar zone, in such a way that
the passage of the energy doesn’t interfere with the metal).
-When the ACTIVE RECTANGULAR PLATE is used : in the abdomen,
cross-wise opposite to the situation of the active plate. |
| PERFORMANCE: |
N.B. When you place the active plate on the
right side of the abdomen, you must place the passive plate
in the left side. And when you place the active plate in the
left sector of the abdomen, put the passive plate on the right.
The current will pass through the abdominal tissues from the
active plate to the passive, and it will activate in its path
the active principles of the introduced product.
Put the passive plate on the lumbar zone (or upper lumbar
zone). Penetrate the firming product with the large round
plate. Work the abdomen for approximately 8 minutes until
the product is introduced well. Lower the power of the apparatus
to zero. Place the passive plate in the abdomen (right or
left side). Increase the power and adjust it to the sensitivity
of the client. keep the active plate in the abdomen for approximately
10 minutes.
|
| RECOMMENDABLE COMPLEMENTS:
|
Passive exercise, to strengthen the musculature
of the abdomen. |
| RESULTS |
The client observes an improvement from the third
or fourth session. |
| CONTRAINDICATIONS: |
Pregnant women.
If you have any type of internal infection (for example, in
the reproductive organs, in the kidneys, etc.).
Women during the days of menstruation
|
| COMMENTARY |
If you have a malign quist. (However, some medical
experiments have shown that the current of AUTOMATIC VITALTERM
reduces the size of the quists of benign nature).
There mustn’t be physical contact between the active plate
or the electrode and the passive plate.
The minimal separation between the active plate and the passive
plate must be 4 cm.
It is advisable to exchange the placing of the active and passive
plates of a session to another of the treatment, in such a way
that there is a balance in the action of the active plate over
the surrounding tissues.
You should pay special attention to those people that carry
an IUD (Intra Uterine Dispositive). In these cases it cannot
cross in depth the abdominal capacity since it would be able
to produce heating of the metal because of the passage of the
current and an internal burn. For this reason, we will maintain
the positioning of the plates over the upper part of the body,
so that the current doesn’t penetrate in depth. |
