Shed fat as you cruise
An AAP report says that Ionithermie may be hard to spell and harder to pronounce, but it could be just the body treatment for those fighting the battle of the bulge.
Customers have shed between 2.5cm and 30cm, says Australian Annie Kwiecinski, in charge of the treatment at the GreenHouse Day Spa aboard the Holland America cruise ship, Statendam.
The Spa describes Ionithermie as Europe’s leading inch-loss and figure-corrective treatment and invites enquirers not to let the name stop them.
It urges: Say I want eye-ON-therr-mee!
Annie, who studied at the Melbourne College of Natural Medicine and has spent seven years at sea, assures Statendam enquirers: What you lose stays off.
And that could be from 2.5cm to 20cm off the target areas of abdomen, buttocks, arms and legs in just one session.
The record for a course of treatments is 30cm.
The statistics would be welcome news for Statendam passengers regaled by a vast array of meals and snacks in a choice of eateries from dawn to midnight; we recall one cruise director as telling his visibly-swollen audience: “You got on as passengers and get off as cargo.”
Ionithermie will (it’s claimed): detoxify the body (using electrodes); improve circulation; eliminate water retention; reduce cellulite.
How? The Spa says: Unlike a body wrap, which results in temporary inch loss through removal of water only, Ionithermie works directly on areas affected by build-up known as cellulite.
Through the combination of algae, aromatherapy and stimuli, Ionithermie can break down and help eliminate cellulite.
Best results, the Spa adds, come from six treatments.
That would leave the customer’s wallet a little thinner, too. One treatment costs $US159 ($NZ210), three are $US399 and six, $US699.
