The Barn Clinic
Ionithermie Treatment
Each session takes a total of 75 minutes, with 30 minutes of alternating faradic and galvanic current being pulsed through the body. This is where the body is worked to the equivalent of 600 sit ups AND 600 squats!
The body is prepared with an apricot and lemon verbena scrub, which is loaded with Vitamin C. A toner with vitamins A,E & H is then applied to the body to degrease and tone it. Finally, a fat-busting mixture is rubbed in which stimulates lipase – an enzyme which breaks down fat.
The body is then covered with gauze, on which warm marine clay is thickly spread to conduct the galvanic current. Pine and cypress aroma oils in the clay help to drain toxins and promote inch loss; a scoop of algae can be added to stimulate the thyroid, but only if the client doesn’t have a shellfish or iodine allergy. Ionithermie’s unique probes are inserted into the clay, which allows the treatment to work both the front and back of the body.
The clay works on balancing hormones and is very uplifting, whilst the algae has 2 very active forms of seaweed – Laminaria which stimulates thyroid & metabolism, and Fucus which activates sweat glands (very cleansing).
A soothing back massage is given before the clay and gauze are removed, which adds to the total relaxing experience.
Each session is really 5 treatments wrapped into one – a body wrap + muscle toning + back massage + lymphatic drainage + oils & relaxation. The galvanic land faradic stimuli are excellent for breaking up cellulite, leaving the body toned with firmer muscle definition.
Correspondingly, there are 5 different benefits to the body – Inch loss, reduction of cellulite, firmer muscle tone, detoxification & mineralization, relaxation.
The results of an Ionithermie treatment can be greatly boosted with a good homecare regime, for which the Barn Clinic recommends the Phytomer range, which is in the top 8% of products in the world for body contouring. As such, it is the perfect accompaniment to follow up an Ionithermie treatment.
Contraindications to the treatment include any electrical implants, such as pacemakers, any metal pins and plates, iodine and shellfish allergies, extreme cases of diabetes, cancer, pregnancy or thrombosis.
