Another way to keep your body in good shape<\/p>\n
Debbie A. Lubis, Contributor, Jakarta<\/p>\n
As people's intake of fatty, sugar-laden and salted food
\ncontinues to rise, obesity has become a major threat, especially
\nfor women.<\/p>\n
Recent research conducted in America, which studied 115,000
\nwomen, shows that those who are obese will be twice as likely to
\nsuffer heart attacks and angina. Being obese also causes women to
\nlack self-confidence.<\/p>\n
Threats of disease and death have caused many women to fear
\nbeing overweight and try their best to keep their body fit and in
\ngood shape. No wonder many flock to slimming and body care
\ncenters that offer various packages to cater for such needs.<\/p>\n
Madeline Beauty Center, Impressions Body Care Center, and
\nMarie France Bodyline are some in Jakarta that offer such
\npackages.<\/p>\n
Among those who have benefited from these programs are
\ntalented singer Kris Dayanti and noted TV star Dian Nitami who
\nhave successfully reduced and maintained their slender figures
\nafter giving birth.<\/p>\n
"Thanks to Impressions, I am more self-confident, on the
\nscreen and in my daily life. I got my figure through slimming
\nactivities; not by liposuction, through the insertion of gold, or
\ninjections of silicone, as charged by many parties," Kris, a
\nmother of two, said.<\/p>\n
For Dian Nitami, joining a slimming program at Marie France
\nBodyline for three months, helped her reduced her weight to 58
\nkilos from 77 kilos.<\/p>\n
Impressions offers a weight loss program without chemical
\nmedicines, injections, cold wraps, or sweaty thermals. There is
\nno strict diet or excessive sports. Clients lose weight by
\ndischarging toxic substances and metabolic residue from the body
\n(detoxification), weight and inch loss programs and body
\ncontouring to retighten flabby skin.<\/p>\n
The clients usually take Supplement II that contains 11 types
\nof ingredients that naturally depress appetite and help the body
\nto dissolve fat and "Slender Herbs" that eliminate cellulite,
\nenhance blood circulation, and decrease liquid accumulation.<\/p>\n
At Madeline Beauty Center there are no specially proscribed
\nfoods or activities for clients who should eat "normal, healthy
\ndiets".<\/p>\n
"Visible results may be seen after four treatments at the
\ncenter when 2-3 kilograms are lost after the first week," says
\nthe center's Dr. Robert Vanderelst.<\/p>\n
Madeline's body slimming package is especially tailored for
\noverweight and post-maternal women whom plan to slim down. The
\ntreatment starts with the measurements of weight, height, age and
\na notes on habits before and after each treatment.<\/p>\n
Then, women have a body wrap with marine active ingredients
\nwhich acts efficiently with long-lasting results on excess fat,
\ndue to the combination of laminaria, fucus algae and sea water.
\nLaminaria algae is rich in minerals and regulates lipolysis of
\nfat cells while the alginic acid moisturizes and helps eliminate
\ntoxins in the body.<\/p>\n
The next step is to have entire body covered with algae gel
\nand slimming cream and a light massage that is followed by more
\nbody wrapping for 30 minutes. After this, Infra Red therapy for
\n20 minutes will burn off the fat without damaging the skin.<\/p>\n
The next step is to have a body scrub in luke-warm water using
\nmoisturizing cream to further burn body fat.<\/p>\n
"We recommend to take a package of 10 treatments on a weekly
\nbasis. The cost for slimming package is Rp 6.5 million for 10
\ntreatments with two treatments for free," said Vanderelest.<\/p>\n
The center also offers diet pills to control appetite, which
\nshould be taken once a day in the morning after breakfast.<\/p>\n
"Slimming injections are also recommended to speed up the
\nslimming process with high ascorbic acid and argine that has the
\nproperties for fat burning capabilities". Slimming injections
\ncosts Rp 495,000 (about US$60) per shot and a bottle of diet pill
\nis Rp 300,000.<\/p>\n
Besides loosing weight, it is also crucial for women to do the
\nfirming treatments in a bid to rid the body of cellulite,
\nwrinkles, stretch marks and flabbiness.<\/p>\n
Madeline Beauty Center's firming treatments reduce and prevent
\nswelling in legs, improve blood circulation, stimulate active
\ncellular exchange, and facilitate active ingredient penetration
\n(osmosis).<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, at Marie France Bodyline, requires a client to have
\na prior consultation before taking a slimming or body weight
\nprogram. During the consultation, a medical expert analyzes the
\nclient's needs, lifestyle, and targets.<\/p>\n
"The packages will target the client's needs -- whether they
\nneed weight loss, firming, cellulite loss or even just improving
\ntheir overall wellbeing", says Tania Winata of Marie France
\nBodyline.<\/p>\n
Marie France provides doctors and nutritionists to ensure
\nclients achieve their ideal weight safely and effectively. Marie
\nFrance Fat Mobilization System and firming treatment use 100
\npercent natural methods, without pills, injections, strenuous
\nexercise or strict diets.<\/p>\n
By wrapping certain parts of the body that have excessive fat
\nwith an elastic bandage soaked in particular ingredients, clients
\ncan burn accumulated fat and slenderize arms, tummy, thighs, and
\nlower legs for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
"The cost and length of treatment for each package depends on
\nthe client's needs and objectives. So, they usually differ from
\nclient to client," Tania said.<\/p>",
