Spring is the time for renewal. So, take this moment to reorganize your living space. Rejuvenate your skin care routine. Recharge relaxing techniques to integrate into your daily ritual. And revisit your body care goals.      

These are resolutions that you may have put off, but it’s never too late to take action. A great one to start with is body care, which, in turn, will also heal the mind. This accomplishment will provide you with the confidence to move through your goals. And what better time to embark on this journey than just before the weather heats up?

A Holistic Approach to Body Care

You may have tried other methods to lose those “wobbly bits” and strengthen your body but did not see the results you wanted, leaving you feeling disillusioned. This experience likely took a hit on your confidence as well. But what if you found a natural treatment that not only delivered an immediate head start towards the body you want but other benefits for a healthy body and disposition?

Taking care of your body is more than just about the aesthetic benefits. It provides an opportunity for a full body reset, from head to toe, appealing to the senses. It is wellness transformed. Positivity towards how your body looks and feels will also reset your mental wellbeing. Healing the body can incorporate relaxation techniques such as massage, aromatherapy and meditation — all proven methods that assist with mental health. Exercise and healthy dieting are also key to success. This is why employing a holistic approach to a body treatment plan is critical.

The following are key elements we recommend for a holistic body treatment.

An Effective, Real-Time Active Treatment

Feeling a sense of accomplishment once you start to work towards a goal will help keep you motivated and maintain results. This is why microcurrent body contouring serves as a great solution to activate the body treatment. It is non-invasive yet offers the results you’d find surgically for lifting and tightening. You will also see improvement with one session, though best results come after two sessions each week for two months. Plus, there is no downtime.

This technique involves microcurrent waves for the body, which is quite natural as it reactivates current already lying in our bodies. It is a process that has been around for decades, also used for facials. A device like Bodicurrent™, used only at Moonstone Skin and Body Care in Northern California, uses a low electrical current that sends signals into your body nearly identical to the body’s own electrical frequencies. This frequency raises the levels of our ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), the energy source for cellular health, by 500% to boost blood flow and collagen and elastin production. 

Bodicurrent™ customizes the process to each individual’s personal health and body care plans by placing pads running the current onto targeted areas of sagging skin, lifting the skin pockets up to the desired result to retrain its thinking for a more youthful body. This works well for areas of visible concern, such as post-baby weight and cellulite, as well as physical such as stiff joints and pained muscles, allowing for greater mobility. Muscles and skin are toned and strengthened, while metabolism is increased to support weight loss.

A Relaxing Experience for the Senses

A key factor to receiving the full benefits of the active treatment is to be in a relaxed state. This is where other elements of the holistic approach come to play, as a balanced mind leads to a stronger body. For example, you may seek treatment due to stomach fat that won’t budge. What you may not know is sometimes this is due to stress releasing cortisol that creates a protective barrier around your waist. Lack of sleep can also contribute to stress and cortisol, as well as prevent rejuvenation. This is why the treatment includes ways to relax the recipient. 

Stroking the sense of touch is one way to design a calming experience. Bodicurrent™ can be programmed with the primary motivation to de-stress, where you lie on your stomach with the currents sending signals through the shoulders and mid-section. The contracting and de-contracting sensation on the muscles will not only soothe you to sleep but provide a satisfying feeling of an abs workout without the pain or physical effort! 

Massage is another technique that resonates for relaxation by improving blood flow and easing the nervous system. The treatment could include such options as reflexology, specifically applied as a foot massage, or Reiki, which uses gentle hand motions to guide energy through the body to heighten healing and manage stress.

Appealing to the sense of smell is a trigger that helps heal the body and mind. Aromatherapy contributes highly to a relaxing environment. This works through the scents of essential oils, dispersed through a diffuser and a lightly infused towel placed underneath the head. Identifying a client’s state of being will help prescribe the surprisingly medicinal effects of these oils. For example, if you are frazzled by your day’s activities, a lavender or peppermint fragrance or a combination of these will put that chaos behind you.

Other senses that will assist clients to quickly de-stress include sight or sound stimulation. Sight can be channeled through LED Lighting, a saluma light that also heals acne, inflammation and anti-aging. For others, music sets the tone, or they may prefer the sound of a comforting voice to converse with them during treatment.

While there are several ingredients that can be assimilated into the holistic experience, it is the energy and needs of the client that is tapped into to customize the most effective plan for a full body, and mind, treatment.

Post-Treatment Maintenance for Body and Mind

The work towards a full body renewal does not stop after each of the program’s sessions. This is why keeping an ongoing dialogue with your treatment specialist is ideal. As you witness growing results, you will want to sustain the flow by ensuring the upkeep of relaxation techniques, such as meditation or yoga, which will also take care of upkeeping the body movement requirement. The treatment specialist can also provide diet recommendations.

As healthy habits contribute to successful body renewal results, taking the right supplements will also support the journey. Bodicurrent™ offers herbal supplements that correspond with the treatment. These target collagen growth, gut health and stress. For example, the ashwaganda herb found in the stress support supplement will continue to alleviate cortisol. There are also health drink recipes to activate the sense of taste, composed of natural remedies to imbibe.

Healing the Body Soothes the Soul

The mind and body are powerful tools to sync together to reach health and esthetic goals. Skin care clinics and spas are where you can find the support you need for the right body care plan. Moonstone Skin and Body Care employs these techniques with the Holistic Microcurrent Body Sculpting treatment.

Jump-starting your body physically and emotionally with a holistic approach is a healthy way to correct body concerns. Feeling good and looking your best are intertwined. A positive outlook can form a great physical output. Keeping this in mind will make body renewal a resolution realized.
