The Slimming session uses a three phase thermal shock to initiate apoptosis, or programmed
cell death, a naturally occurring sequence aided by the lymphatic system. During a Slimming
session, the client will experience a localized warming sensation, followed by a cold sequence
and particular massage technique. The immediate drop in temperature will initiate apoptosis
once the fat cells have cooled to the temperature at which they can no longer sustain
themselves. Once this cell death has been initiated, the fat cells will convert to cellular debris,
to be cycled through the lymphatic system over the following fifteen days. Clients will experience fat loss after 1 session but the best results will be seen at the end of three to five sessions. This session can be done at a maximum of once every 14
days, so as to not overload the lymphatic system. Also clients are not to have
sugars or carbohydrates in the two hours prior to the slimming and two hours following the
session. Presence of either close to the session time can interrupt the processes necessary to
produce a desirable result. It should be noted that Slimming is strictly contraindicated on the
breasts in both men and women as this is a glandular area.
