Designed to create a complete remodelling of the silhouette, this professional treatment focuses on the epidermis, dermis and the subcutaneous tissue to offer tangible results from the very first session.  The massage part of the treatment combines a unique ‘butterfly’ motion with an original technique working in the direction of the muscular fibres to render the body toned and slender.
