Age, pregnancies, repeated diets, sun abuse... The body has something to give up.
But, today, a pretty silhouette is no longer a question of age or weight, but of harmony, firmness and well-being.
At all levels: on the surface, with smooth and well-hydrated skin, underneath, with toned muscles, in between, with a plump dermal mattress, collagen and elastin fibers full of spring.
It is played out even deeper, at the level of the hypodermis… The hated fat would in fact have quite a few qualities, in particular that of keeping the connective tissue in tension and releasing beneficial hormones.
We must obviously not forget the posture, without which the most "cannons" lose all grace and allure, nor the inner balance,

No need to torture yourself, only regularity counts.
And when you've "let go of things" a little too much, you don't hesitate to get help.
“Bodybuilding” works on all levels.
To each their own method… And their own budget.

Beneficial cold snap
With cryolipolysis
"This technique is of interest to anyone wishing to get rid of stubborn localized fat and reshape their figure permanently, without surgery", specifies Dr. Nadine Pomarède, dermatologist.
It eliminates unsightly fat cells, collected on certain areas of the body (stomach, thighs, buttocks, love handles, inner face of the arms, etc.) and which are difficult to erase, despite diets and sports.
Thanks to a controlled cooling system, the process crystallizes fat cells to destroy them.
The body then takes care of eliminating them naturally and gradually.
The final results of the session are obtained after three months.
Depending on the size of the area to be treated and the desired effect, 1 or 2 sessions are necessary, with an interval of
one month between each.
The rates vary between 450 € and 1000 €, going up to 2000 € if several zones are treated.
From €450 per session.

With the Cryo-Stick My LD Body
This object was designed by Céline Aharoni, ambassador of the Biologique Recherche brand renowned for its facial treatments.
Based on the principle of cryolipolysis, this stick should be kept in the fridge, before massaging the legs, arms or stomach every day.
In stainless steel, ultralight and ergonomic, it is easy to handle.
The result is smoother, firmer skin and boosted venous return.
Another option: treatment in the cabin.
Ideally, count a cure of 5 sessions of 1 hour, at the rate of one per week (120 € per session).
90 € the Cryo-Stick.

What's up Doc?
"Improving the appearance of the inner face of the arms, thighs, but also the stomach or the knees is a frequent request in aesthetic medicine", confirms Dr. Nadine Pomarède.
Over time, the skin gets thinner, wrinkles, softens, and when creams and the gym aren't enough, there are several solutions.
Skinboosters injections
: these contain anti-aging products such as hyaluronic acid or peptides that deeply rehydrate the skin and plump up the surface.
3 to 5 sessions spaced two to three weeks apart are necessary (250 € per session).
Microneedling
: this consists of creating microwells in the skin to facilitate the penetration of anti-aging active ingredients, such as vitamins and trace elements, cell regeneration factors.
The synthesis of collagen and elastin is stimulated.
It takes 3 to 5 sessions spaced two weeks apart (200 € per session).
The ultrasounds:
the belly is often the first concern.
To improve firmness, HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) offers a non-invasive lifting, which allows the skin to be re-tightened.
“The ultrasound waves penetrate deeply, creating a heating of the skin without touching the cutaneous surface, specifies the doctor.
This heat modifies the collagen fibers and induces a process of tissue regeneration from the depth to the surface.”
A lift effect, but progressive, it will take three months for a final result (variable prices according to indication).

At Endospheres
“It's a bit like five people kneading your skin at the same time,” explains Laura, the therapist who officiates.
Thanks to a vibrating device with fifty-five silicone spheres, we act on the three types of cellulite, aqueous, adipose or fibrous, the most difficult to remove.
While the vibrations stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, the muscles work in resistance, the blood circulation is activated and the lymphatic system revived.
The result can be seen from the first session, the skin is plumped, smoothed and firmer.
It takes an average of 12 sessions, two per week, then one per month for maintenance.
120 € per session of 45 minutes, decreasing price in cure.

Muscular where you want...
The best sport to strengthen the whole body is swimming (and its variant, aquagym) with, in addition to the house, a little sheathing and squats.
But in a group, it's more encouraging.
Neoness has just inaugurated a new gym opposite the BNF (Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand), in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, with a "booty factory" space dedicated to the lower body: it brings together the four machines that women love their thighs and buttocks.
No need to search for your happiness between pull-up bars and ellipticals.
“Everything is grouped together in the same place, explains Sheraz, Neoness coach: the machine for doing pelvic lifts and activating the back of the thighs;
carpet-staircase,
who climbs stairs to eliminate fat while preserving muscle mass;
and the Smith Machine, which allows you to do squats and lunges with the help of the guided bar, and therefore accessible to beginners.

…and deflated everywhere
A redesigned silhouette, a toned body and smooth skin, this is the promise of the new GAD Detox Plus protocol, by Anne Cali.
The principle ?
A deep lymphatic drainage associated with its GAD technique (Slide, Press, Take off).

Wrapped in warm, moist towels, you enjoy the massage in a cocoon that is both effective and relaxing.
The loss in centimeters and the smoothing of the skin are measured from the first session.
In addition, Anne Cali offers a dietary program rich in fiber and low in sugar and fat, as well as tailored advice on physical activity and daily walking time.
€200 for a one-hour session or €1,148 for a treatment of 7 sessions.

The faster you lose weight, the more muscles you lose at the same time
Géraldine Lizard, sports coach
Yes to the protein diet!
“The friends of muscle and supporting tissues are proteins, recalls Géraldine Lizard, sports coach, hence the interest of keeping a portion of meat, eggs, fish and dairy products in your diet.
Vegans and vegetarians need to balance vegetable protein intake.
Salt and fast sugars store water and fat.
But we avoid diets that are too strict.
The faster you lose weight, the more muscles you lose at the same time.
When we resume a classic diet, fat replaces the muscle melted, and the skin is even softer than before.

What about home massages?
A five-minute massage every day is an excellent way to maintain the suppleness of the skin, revive sleeping cells, stimulate microcirculation, unclog the lymph and promote skincare penetration.
How ?
From the feet towards the heart, in circular movements on the belly or by mimicking the palpate-rolling technique: grab the fold of your skin between the thumb and the index finger and roll it upwards, always gently so as not to "break" the tissues.
