To eliminate cellulite and fat deposits: Cryomodel CT5 at Esthécare
When it comes to eliminating cellulite and stubborn fat, cryotherapy has proven its effectiveness. However, this technique continues to evolve to become even more efficient. Today, it seems that the results are more noticeable when cold is combined with heat. This is the principle behind the Cryomodel CT5 technology from Reneve, available at Esthécare. This innovative treatment promises to target cellulite and localized fat deposits through a hot-cold action. The 4 applicators alternately emit thermal energy (cold phase with hypothermic action) and electric energy (excito-motor currents with draining and reducing action). This unique combination stimulates tissue regeneration and toxin elimination. Completely painless due to the absence of suction, the Cryomodel CT5 can treat any area of the body, including the face. It is possible to target two different areas simultaneously, such as the double chin and thighs, abdomen and buttocks, etc. Finally, results are visible after the first use and are established within two months. Of course, depending on your needs, several sessions may be recommended by the therapist.
Price: 850 DH per session / 6,500 DH for a package of 10 sessions.

For pain-free exercise: AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill at Chenot Palace Weggis
The Swiss health and wellness center, which specializes in the Chenot method, is renowned for offering cutting-edge treatments. Recently, the palace has acquired the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill. Originally, this peculiar machine was developed for patients requiring rehabilitation. However, it is now increasingly used by all types of individuals looking to embark on a fitness regimen. Thanks to its patented pressurized chamber technology, developed for NASA, the AlterG® treadmill applies anti-gravity force to the entire body. As a result, it is possible to walk or run with the sensation of bearing only 20% of one’s body weight, which is ideal for getting back into exercise and expending energy without risking joint pain. The AlterG® has not yet made its debut in Morocco, but it is possible to try it elsewhere.

To boost cellular activity: LPG Endermologie technique at Care Center Rehabilitation & Wellness
Opened less than a month ago, the medical-aesthetic center Care Center offers various services (physiotherapy, laser hair removal, cryotherapy, as well as medical restorative dermopigmentation), all performed by physicians. Among the latest innovative fitness techniques available at the center, we’re interested in LPG endermology. Holder of several patents, this machine naturally revitalizes cellular activity and deeply reactivates natural physiological processes with a small device. Inspired by the famous “palpate-roll” movement, the treatment head of the CELLU M6 is equipped with independent motorized rollers and a suction system. These will work the skin to awaken its natural mechanisms. LPG treatments cantreat the face by reactivating the production of elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid to fill wrinkles, firm the skin, even out the complexion, etc. It can also treat the body by releasing and eliminating fat deposits, reactivating blood and lymphatic circulation, as well as the lipolysis process. It is therefore possible to eliminate fat, smooth cellulite, or firm the skin. In short, it’s a bit like the Rolls-Royce of machines. The number of sessions depends on the diagnosis made by the practitioner. Generally, for the body, it is advisable to opt for an attack cure consisting of 2 sessions per week for 5 weeks. For the face, however, results are visible very quickly, and one session may be sufficient.
Face starting from 200 DH, body starting from 650 DH.
Possibility to opt for a package or an annual subscription.

For face lifting: Emface treatment
If you are familiar with the Emsculpt treatment to develop muscles and reduce body fat mass, Emface works in the same way but is adapted to the face. Here, patches are applied to the face, which combine monopolar radiofrequency and high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES). The first technology will reshape and smooth the skin by heating the dermis and stimulating the synthesis of collagen fibers and elastic fibers. The HIFES, for its part, will contract and strengthen facial muscles, inducing an immediate lifted effect. This is ideal for people who want to achieve a rejuvenating effect and a healthy glow without resorting to injections or cosmetic surgery. For visible results, it is recommended to undergo 4 treatments, spaced one week apart, every year.
For the moment, the Emface technology is not available in Morocco, but it is possible to test it in France.
