Leg and Inner Thigh Firming

Fat tends to collect in particular areas of the body. Leg and inner thigh firming is usually requested by people who carry more fat around the hips and legs. With Micro Plus, the chosen muscle groups in the area are stimulated with galvanic current at set frequencies so that the muscles work. This is used as part of leg and inner thigh toning plans.

What is Micro Plus?

The Micro Plus device stimulates the muscles in the target area with micro and galvanic current. The stimulation makes the muscles work, and the area is intended to look more toned. Results vary from person to person.

Why is leg firming requested?

As weight is gained, the amount of fat in the leg area may increase, and when weight is lost the area may not slim down in the same way. For some people the lower body can then feel less changed than the rest of the body.

• Firmer legs can feel more comfortable, and in some people can reduce the chafing that occurs when the thighs rub together.
• Some people who are happy with their overall body shape still feel uneasy about fat or looseness in their legs, and look for supportive garments such as shapewear. Micro Plus is one of the options considered by people who want to avoid relying on them.
• Exercise can produce some toning in the legs and inner thighs, but it requires a regular, intensive programme, which may be hard to keep up if your time is limited. Sometimes exercise alone is not enough, and the exercise programme needs to be supported with a nutrition programme. Micro Plus can be used alongside them.

Leg firming is entirely a matter of personal choice and is usually requested for appearance.

Leg firming with Micro Plus therapy

In Micro Plus therapy, electrical currents of different wavelengths are applied to the body and the muscles in the area are stimulated. After the stimulation, the muscles begin to work. The process described is as follows:

• As the muscle contractions increase, the body registers a need for energy and prepares for it.
• ATP in the body is used first. Once it is depleted, the body draws on the fat and glycogen stores in the muscles.
• In this way the body uses its fat and glycogen stores locally, which is the basis for the regional slimming and toning that is described.

The appearance of cellulite may also change, but results vary from person to person.

Planning sessions for leg firming

Every body is different, so the time it takes for the treated area to respond varies. The number of Micro Plus sessions is decided for each person, and details are shared during the initial consultation.

In our clinic the number of sessions is decided after the necessary checks and your body analysis. For more information and to arrange an appointment, you can click here.
