Taking care of our bodies is one of the best things we can do for health, wellness, and confidence. Obviously, there are a lot of ways we can care for our bodies on the inside, like eating well, taking supplements, exercising, getting some great sleep . . . you get the idea. But, there’s actually a lot we can do from the outside, too.
Nurturing our bodies from the outside can help us feel better, but it can also make us look better. Loving the way we look can boost our confidence and deepen our self-love, too. Things like exfoliation, moisturizing, dry brushing, mouth taping, red light therapy, and body sculpting can boost our health and enhance our appearance. That last one is what we’re talking about today.
In this post, we’re going to discuss body sculpting, a beauty trend that really works. And, no, we’re not talking about surgical body contouring procedures or tummy tucks. This is all about body contouring massage and how it can sculpt your figure, elevate your look, and boost your confidence.
What Is Body Contouring Massage?
Body contouring massage (also known as body sculpting or manual contouring) is a wellness technique that combines deep tissue massage with special tools to shape, tone, and define your figure no surgery required.
Body contouring massage usually targets areas of the body we’re most insecure of. These are places where fatty and fluid usually accumulate. Think the stomach, thighs, hips, arms, back, and butt; body contouring can focus on these areas specifically and transform them with a simple addition to your beauty routine.
How Does Body Contouring Massage Work?
It encourages lymphatic drainage.
Two things that affect the way your body looks and feels in a big way are water retention and bloating. However, the sculpting massage targets certain areas of the body that encourage the flow of lymph fluid. This promotes detox to flush out toxins, reduce swelling, and ditch the bloat for a slimmer, more toned appearance.
It breaks down fat deposits.
The pressure from deep, targeted contouring massage can actually loosen excess fat cells that are trapped in connective tissue, reducing the appearance of cellulite. It may also help redistribute compacted fat deposits making them easier for the body to process naturally especially when combined with other healthy weight loss efforts. This all means that over time body sculpting can target fat cells to tone your body and smooth your skin texture!
It improves blood circulation.
The repetitive pressure and movements from body contouring massage stimulate blood flow to the skin and tissues. This means more oxygen and nutrients get to target areas to nourish the skin, support collagen production, boost skin tissue health, and support your body’s metabolizing of fat. Together, these effects promote a more sculpted silhouette, smoother skin texture, and improved overall tone to the target areas.
It promotes muscle relaxation and skin tightening.
When our muscles are right, they can actually add bulk and unevenness to your body shape. Plus, stiffness can impact our posture and gait, which are also super important when you want to look and feel your best! Luckily, body contouring massage helps relax those muscles and improve flexibility, giving you a leaner, more balanced silhouette.
Tense muscles can also cause creases in the skin, making fine lines and excess skin more obvious. But,body sculpting can boost collagen and elastin production on the skin these proteins are essential to maintain the firmness and elasticity of your skin. So, not only can it help reduce fat and smooth out cellulite, it can also leave your skin looking fresh and radiant.
Does Body Sculpting Massage Work?
Yes! Body sculpting can work, but manage your goals and expectations. The improved circulation, lymphatic drainage, fat metabolism, and muscle relaxation are obviously good for your health and well being, but research shows it can help you achieve a more toned, sculpted look and firmer skin in the treated areas.
That being said, this process doesn’t destroy fat cells like surgical procedures do (and you won’t see results overnight!). So, it’s best to combine body sculpting with other healthy lifestyle changes like eating well and working out. With healthy lifestyle changes and body contouring combined, you can make big strides towards your beauty goals!
