We have compiled the revolutionary techniques that are being applied in the centers of reference of the celebrities and we have tested ourselves some treatments to see if they work in record time.
Do you want to know what our verdict is? Ultrasound, radiofrequency, shock waves … All technologies improve their power and combine with each other to reduce centimeters in very few sessions.
Mamen Lorenzo, Director: Zionic for more defined glutes
- Where. At Backstage BCN, Silvia Abril's beauty center and the influencer Paula Gonu, who “practice” Bioslimming; the presenter Nuria Marín, who performs Reaction (radio frequency) on her hips or Alejandra Prat, with whom I coincide in treatment: Zionic.
- My objective. Elevate the buttocks and reaffirm your muscles.
- The treatment . Zionic is also known as the reducing jellyfish because of the shape of the device. Its "tentacles" would be in charge of making a powerful massage. It has a rotation system combined with resistive radio frequency, indicated to exert a deeper action. This causes a triple action: dermal, vascular and muscular, which helps to reshape and tone. At Backstage BCN, what is recommended for all body treatments is a pack of 10 sessions, performing 2 per week.
- The price of the packs ranges between € 725 and € 850, depending on how the equipment is combined.
- Valuation . I have always taken care of my diet and you can say that I am a very active person, but I have never been satisfied with my butt. With Zionic and the Nuria Soteras team I have noticed results for the first time and I am very happy. Before confinement I had already tried it and when I left I started an express treatment that is helping me to regain shape.
Carme del Vado, Editor-in-chief: Medestec for a flat stomach
- Where. In El Salón by Aura Institut.
- My objective. Although I am usually at my weight, I needed to deflate my belly due to gynecological problems and fluid retention.
- The treatment. It consists of a massage in the chosen area (in my case, the belly) with a double frequency diathermy machine. In other words, a machine that what it does is that you feel a pleasant sensation of heat when this device sends electrical charges into the tissues to deflate and reaffirm.
- The price: € 79 per session, although there are 12 vouchers that come at the price of 10 sessions.
- Assessment. Although I had to interrupt the treatment due to the quarantine, without a doubt I will resume it again because in the third session of the 8 scheduled I already saw results, and I have remained even during confinement.
Ángela Carpio, Advertising Director: LPG against flaccidity
- Where. At IM Clinic of Dr. Iván Mañero.
- My objective. Firm both legs and abdomen.
- The treatment. LPG consists of a device that performs a mechanical kneading that releases resistant fats and favors the synthesis of collagen to firm the skin. It is the technique that they advised me, together with a very concentrated firming cream. It is ideal for people who practice a lot of exercise (it is my case), but the skin is not quite as firm as they would like. Depending on the diagnosis, more or fewer sessions are recommended, but it is always advisable to get a bonus, because it is advisable to have a reminder session after time to activate circulation.
- Assessment. The intensity of the device is adjustable and I did not feel any pain. I have had 4 sessions (the 10 voucher is worth € 650 and includes the post-treatment cream) and I notice my skin a little smoother. I have also lost 2 kilos on a diet and that helps a lot. For now, happy.
Raquel Pérez, Fashion Coordinator: Cyclone, global remodeler
- Where. In one of the Ideal centers.
- My goal . Eliminate cellulite.
- The treatment. According to the center, Cyclone is a machine that drains, reduces and reaffirms in the same session thanks to the triple technology that it incorporates (radiofrequency, ultrasound and vacuum therapy). They promise to end cellulite and localized fat in just a few sessions.
- Assessment. My impression is that I wasted the money. I bought a 10 session voucher (€ 500) and it was of absolutely no use to me. And that I take great care of my diet.
Inés Sarrias, Art Director: Radiofrequency SpaDeep against cellulite
- Where. In Blauceldona, a center frequented by influencer Alex Rivière.
- My objective. Improve the appearance of my cellulite on my legs and buttocks.
- The treatment. At Silvia Oliete's center they gave me 2 sessions of a new unipolar radiofrequency, SpaDeep, which treats cellulite and smoothes the skin (€ 150 per session), and they recommended 8 in total. Concentrated thermal radiofrequency energy is used, reaching the deepest layers of the skin, achieving a body contouring. Lying on the stretcher I thought "the hotter, the more the cellulite will melt."
- Assessment. When leaving I noticed an improvement in the skin, and the hips as more molded. But the next day when I got dressed … there were my legs full of cellulite again. It is a matter of patience, because they have already warned me that radio frequency does not act instantly, but that you have to wait for the new collagen to form for the skin to tighten.
Lola Triviño, Image treatment: Infiltrations to firm the arms
- Where. In Center Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine Tintoré Brasó.
- My objective. Show off well defined arms, without sagging.
- The treatment. I started it before the health alarm and Dr. Marta Pons gave me two mesotherapy sessions with Neauvia (three recommended, € 320 per session). It is a cocktail with hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite, among other ingredients, which stimulate the formation of collagen after several weeks and ensure that the firmness lasts for a year.
- Assessment. I don't like the injections at all, but I admit that the doctor was very delicate and professional (I didn't have any bruises). She recommended that I also do specific exercises and Patry Jordan's are really good for me. After the third pending infiltration, I hope to show off some well-contoured arms soon.
Encarna Aguado, Beauty Coordinator: Ultrasounds and shock waves for localized fat
- Where. In Oxigen, who heads Star center where Judit Mascó Pujol and detox treatments done with wrappings, and Vanessa Lorenzo reaffirms radiofrequency and massage.
- My objective. Eliminate abdominal fat and regain your waistline.
- The treatment. After weighing myself, measuring myself and making a diagnosis, Estrella advised me a combination of shock waves (works cellulite and tones) and DeepSlim (focused ultrasound for localized fat). The protocol: 2 sessions a week, one of each device, for three weeks (€ 900). First impressions: both devices are totally painless, which is welcome.
- Assessment. I started the sessions before confinement and ended it when the centers reopened. Taking into account that at the beginning I weighed 68.2 kg and that now I am at 65 kg, it can be said that it is not bad at all (although I admit that if I had been more strict with the diet, the numbers would be better … Estrella always me he argued, with good reason). Where I have noticed a considerable change is in the volume. The perimeter of my abdomen has gone from 88 to 82 cm and I have dropped one size. What a joy to feel that your pants are not tight!
Laura Hernández, Web Editor in Chief: Cryolipolysis and mesotherapy to reduce volume
- Where. In Clinics Vicario (centers in several cities). Winona Ryder and Paris Hilton are clients when they come to Spain.
- My objective. I wanted to drop an inch on the waist, hips and thighs.
- The treatment. Dr. Virginia Vicario suggested cryolipolysis (cooling technology that eliminates fat cells, € 200 per area) and mesotherapy to reduce localized volume (3 sessions, € 200). At the end of the confinement, we complete the protocol with an express mix: 2 lipolaser sessions (the 3 voucher is worth € 150) and 2 cavitation sessions (€ 30 session).
- Assessment. The pricks are noticeable, but they are fast; and with cryolipolysis I felt a strange sucking sensation that was bearable. With the accumulated effects from before and this final little push I look more stylized. I have lost more than 3 cm in waist and legs, and 6 cm in abdomen.

A little push from you
- Exercise and invigorating shower. At home, you can also reinforce the effect of the treatments and / or creams by doing series of squats or lunges (the most effective exercises against cellulite) and finishing your shower with jets of cold water in an upward direction, from the ankles to the waist. .
- Refresh … and lose weight. With cold infusions! During the week, alternate infusions of dandelion (helps to eliminate toxins and is diuretic) with others of nettle (purifying) or green tea (speeds up metabolism). You can add lemon to all of them, which is an excellent fat burner. You can also bet on green smoothies. Mix spinach, kiwi, pineapple and a touch of cinnamon in your blender and you will have a very healthy anti-cellulite shake. To make it tastier, you can change the water for coconut water, which provides many minerals and stimulates intestinal transit.
- Get plenty of rest so you don't gain weight. A quality sleep prevents you from eating too much and activating a mechanism that leads you to store fat. This is why it is so important to sleep and rest well.
