What is a body contouring massage and what is it for?
Contouring massage is a body treatment that uses intense movements and specific techniques to work on areas of the body with localized fat or cellulite.
Unlike gentler massages, this technique uses deeper movements that help stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation, contributing to improved body contour.
During the treatment, the therapist works on specific areas such as the abdomen, legs, glutes, and flanks, using movements that help mobilize adipose tissue.
Body contouring massage is often integrated into body aesthetic programs to improve skin appearance and reduce the sensation of fluid retention.
