Cryolipolysis destroys fat cells through cold. It's a passive and localized treatment — it doesn't burn calories and only treats one area at a time. The investment is much higher ($35,000-140,000) and requires a dedicated operator for each session plus consumable membranes. Visible results after 2-3 months.
LPG is the specialist in cellulite through mechanical massage. It's a passive treatment that requires a trained operator, a bodysuit per client (recurring consumable), and doesn't significantly burn calories. The investment is high ($45,000-90,000). Excellent for cellulite, limited for overall slimming.
EMS causes muscle contractions through electrical impulses. It's an excellent complement for muscle strengthening, but it doesn't treat cellulite or detox. InfraBike and EMS are actually complementarys : EMS for muscle, InfraBike for slimming and recovery. Learn More →
