WOOD THERAPY

Wood therapy is a technique that employs purposely shaped wood pieces to sculpt the body in desired areas, allowing the therapist to move and drain accumulated adipose tissue. Is an effective and efficient way of contouring the body without harming the skin or tissues. Each instrument has a specific use for certain areas of the body. This service helps to diminish cellulite while toning the body and is very useful in activating the Lymphatic System and smoothing out unwanted fat and uneven skin. 

There may be a possibility of bruising when receiving wood/metal therapy. Bruising can be common from:

• Current or history of skin cancer or pre-malignant moles– In order to avoid and prevent any further irritation to these conditions, treatment of body areas with these conditions should not be performed. We recommend you talk with your physician before committing to any treatment.
• Any active skin conditions– It is best to schedule treatment when any skin conditions in treatment areas such as sores, psoriasis, eczema, herpes and rashes are no longer active to avoid and prevent any further irritation of skin.
• Alcohol and Caffeine– These substances will slow down lymphatic drainage of fatty acids and toxins. For best results, please try to avoid or reduce your intake of products that contain them during the course of treatment.
