A lot of people (on Dayre) have been asking me to blog about Marie France Bodyline.  So I thought I’d blog about each treatment I receive, since there’s always been some confusion about what goes on in a Marie France Bodyline center.  Heck, I myself didn’t even know what it encompasses. Most people associate it with heat wraps which is true to a certain extent but there’s more to it.

Ever since my blog post here, I let my scar heal a bit, then I started visiting Marie France Bodyline.

I went for a consultation and they reviewed my body issues and problems.  Then they devised a treatment plan for me that encompasses six months.

Cos I had a C section, the plan takes that into account too!   I waited six weeks before starting treatment.

Here’s the VVIP area! So what happens is first they give you a robe, some disposable undies and slippers.  You change out of your clothes and put your belongings into a locker.

Like this!

And then I enter the treatment room. And then I fall asleep. Hahahaha. #truestory

It normally starts with a welcome massage, followed by the treatment itself.

Depending on the area targeted, it’s usually a combo of either a massage, a mask applied on my skin, getting wrapped in a plastic wrap, or in a thermal blanket.

A seaweed mask.

Or zapped with a machine! Hahaha.

When I realized that for the treatment to be most effective, I have to go for twice weekly sessions, I felt some guilt because that’s four hours total at least a week that I have to leave the babies.  With that much time commitment isn’t it better to exercise? Lol.

But the truth is, the treatments are super soothing and relaxing.  I normally don’t have time to nap but because of this commitment, I could take the treatment time to nap and recover some sleep and not feel guilty I’m neglecting Fighter and Penny hahaha.

And physically, the results are very reassuring!

There’s different types of treatments for different problems so today Imma review the first treatment I was subject to. It’s called the FMS-Essential Lymphatic Treatment Therapy (FELTT) and SLTB – Essential Lymphatic Treatment Therapy (BELTT). Wah what a mouthful hahahaha.

Essentially it’s heat detoxification therapy and Thalasso treatment. Heat induced lipo detox is proven successful in removing fat-stored toxins from the body. It raises the body temperature above the normal 37 degrees C.  If you’re not a regular exerciser (like me ahem), you may not have enough energy reserves to raise your body temperature, so heat treatment will create a ‘fever’ to burn off toxic fat. And Thalasso which means marine minerals (such as those found in seaweed) helps to prevent further toxic build up. The sea mineral, when applied on the skin, extract toxins from the body. These are the benefits of this treatment:

• Aids the irrigation of fatty acids

• Reduces orange peel appearance (OMG I NEED THIS)

• Immediate lightness and inch loss due to water reduction and skin tightening

• Enhances total lymph system cleansing

• Improves vascular flow, which in turn, enhances oxygen, nutrient, and lymph exchange at the cellular level

• Increases cell metabolism

• Relieves muscular aches & pains and reduces muscle spasm (good to have but I don’t really have aches…maybe only if I carry kids for a long time)

• Decreases rigidity in joints

• Improves skin & body tone (skin tightening for a toned effect)

• Hydrates dry skin (ya my skin super dry FML think Penny inherited this)

• Relieves stress, leaving the body feeling relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated. (yes cos the treatment is usually so relaxing I fall asleep HAHAHA

For me, my focus areas were my hips and thighs.  I didn’t do tummy cos this is my first treatment and the MF team wanted to give more time for my tummy to recover.

Each treatment session takes about 2 hours!  I did this treatment for about 3 months.

Note: FELTT & BELTT should not be used if the person has heart problems, low and high blood pressure, fresh wounds (duh), heat sensitive skin conditions, other skin disorders and any heat related issues.

OK the truth is when I first embarked on this Marie France slimming treatment I was quite skeptical – how effective can it be by just applying seaweed mask on my skin?

After three months of FELTT & BELTT, this is the most obvious result:

Before (taken from my previous blog post)

After

Very much reduced cellulite!!!!!  I was honestly quite shocked!  I know my weight was coming down but I attributed it to breastfeeding and just natural recovery post-pregnancy.  But before I wrote this blog post, I just went to the mirror and pinched my upper thigh again to check on my cellulite since it’s the most obvious indicator.

And really nearly gone! I still have a bit on the back of my thighs but the sides (which was where most of it was) are pretty much cellulite free!

A survey conducted by Nielsen showed 93% of the ladies who have undergone the treatments for a period of 6 weeks  “realized that their clothing weren’t as tight compared to before treatment.”

Marie France Bodyline is currently having a promotion of the month where you can experience 3
