Salon healing

We all want rid of that dreaded orange peel before squeezing into our honeymoon bikinis and while there’s no miracle cure there are things you can start doing today to help reduce cellulite…If you want speedy results you could invest in a course of salon cellulite treatments to help shift it, as tested by me.

Eporex: the Eporex cellulite treatment is one of the best pain-free ways to rid yourself of orange peel. An electrical wave pushes mesotherapy ingredients (specially blended nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and herbal concentrates) painlessly through the lower layers of your skin to improve drainage and circulation. Results may even be noticeable after one session.

Cheryl’s verdict: It was an odd sensation – like a small Hoover nozzle being moved across my thighs – but it didn’t hurt. The therapist can increase or decrease the current to a level you feel comfortable with. After one session my thighs did appear smoother and were softer but I think it would take a few more sessions to purge the peel completely.

Eporex costs £80 per session and is available at the Face and Body Clinic in London’s Harley Street.

TechniSPA: this soothing treatment, which is designed to tone the legs and ease swelling, is refreshing and reviving, and as it only takes 30 minutes it’s perfect for a quick lunchtime pick-up. It uses ionisation combined with an invigorating massage to combat water retention, ease swelling, tone the legs and help reduce cellulite. For best results, a course of six TechniSPA treatments is recommended over a maximum of three weeks.

Cheryl’s verdict: This was a lovely treatment that left my legs feeling tingly and light. The therapist exfoliated my legs first, then using a gel containing red grape extract, she gently massaged my legs from top to bottom with the ionisation machine. It was a really soothing experience which, combined with the low level lighting and scented candles, left me feeling totally relaxed and refreshed. Even if it doesn’t shift cellulite immediately it’s a wonderful half hour of pre-wedding pampering.

TechniSPA Tired Leg Treatment costs £40 and is available from Guinot beauty clinics, spas and health clubs in the UK and Ireland. For your nearest salon, contact 0800 590 094 or email enquiries@rrobson.co.uk.
