The aesthetic world industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace. We find ourselves in an era where technology is redefining the way aesthetic and wellness needs are understood and addressed. With technological advances, innovative treatments have emerged that, in addition to being efficient, are increasingly safer, comfortable and customizable. In this context of constant change and progress, Onnafit is found.
Diathermy, a state-of-the-art procedure, has become one of Onnafit’s specialties, providing our clients with an effective solution for a variety of aesthetic and wellness concerns. Let’s explore in greater detail what diathermy is, how it works, and what benefits our clients can expect when opting for this revolutionary treatment.
What is Diathermy?
Diathermy is an aesthetic and physiotherapy treatment that uses high frequency currents to generate heat in the internal parts of the body. Thanks to this heat production, this procedure can help improve blood circulation, accelerate cell regeneration processes and relieve muscle pain, among other benefits.
The term Diathermy comes from the Greek “dia” meaning through, and “thermia” meaning heat. Therefore, it can literally be translated as “through the heat.” This treatment has come a long way from its initial conceptualization at the beginning of the 20th century to becoming one of the pillars of modern rehabilitation and aesthetic therapies.
In its beginnings, diathermy was used mainly in the medical field to treat various diseases and conditions. As technology advanced and more discoveries were made about its possible applications, Diathermy began to be adopted in the aesthetics industry. Today, it is a valuable resource for treating a wide range of conditions, from muscle rehabilitation to cellulite reduction and skin revitalization.
In the following sections, we will discover more about how diathermy works, its benefits and how it is applied in Onnafit treatments.
Applications of Diathermy in Aesthetics
Diathermy has proven to be an exceptionally versatile tool in the world of aesthetics. By emitting high-frequency electromagnetic waves, this treatment generates heat in the deepest layers of the skin, which triggers a series of positive effects on the skin and muscle tissue. Here we describe some of the main applications of Diathermy in aesthetics:
Skin rejuvenation
Diathermy can help rejuvenate the skin by improving blood circulation and stimulating the production of collagen, a vital protein for keeping skin elastic and firm. Diathermy treatments can reduce wrinkles and expression lines, and improve the overall texture of the skin.
Cellulite treatment
Diathermy is effective in the treatment of cellulite by generating deep heat that helps break down fat deposits and improve circulation in affected areas. This results in smoother and more toned skin.
Fat reduction and body remodeling
Diathermy treatments can help break down fat cells and promote localized fat loss. This makes Diathermy a popular option for body remodeling and weight reduction.
Muscle regeneration and recovery
Diathermy can be an excellent tool for muscle regeneration and recovery after intense training. By increasing blood circulation in the muscles, diathermy can accelerate regeneration and recovery processes, relieve muscle pain and improve overall mobility.
It is important to mention that, although Diathermy can offer notable results as a single treatment, it can also complement and enhance the effects of other aesthetic treatments. In the next section, we will see how Onnafit incorporates Diathermy into its service portfolio and how our clients benefit from it.
What benefits does Diathermy provide?
Diathermy is a highly effective and safe tool used in a wide range of aesthetic and therapeutic applications. Here, we will explore some of the most notable benefits of Diathermy.
- Improves blood circulation: The heat generated by high frequency currents improves blood circulation. This helps to better oxygenate the tissues and promotes the elimination of toxins, resulting in more radiant and healthy skin.
- Stimulates collagen production: Diathermy stimulates the production of collagen, an essential protein for the elasticity and firmness of the skin. This can help reduce wrinkles and expression lines, giving the skin a younger, fresher look.
- Relieves muscle pain: Diathermy has analgesic properties. The heat generated helps relax tense muscles and relieves pain, making it an effective option for recovery after intensive workouts.
- Weight Loss: Diathermy’s ability to generate heat in the deeper layers of the skin makes it an excellent choice for treating cellulite and weight loss. The heat helps break down fatty deposits and improve circulation in the treated areas, resulting in firmer, more toned skin.
In terms of safety, diathermy is a non-invasive procedure that, when performed under the supervision of a trained professional, has a very low risk of side effects. Each treatment session is customized to the client’s specific needs, allowing for optimal control and safe treatment.
Main differences of Diathermy with Onnafit
Diathermy and Onnafit are two types of treatments that are used in the field of aesthetics and physiotherapy. Although both use electricity for profit, there are notable differences between each of them.
Diathermy is a technique that uses high-frequency electrical current to produce heat in the deeper parts of tissues. This heat can help:
- Improve blood circulation in a specific area.
- Reduce pain.
- Accelerate the healing process.
- Increase muscle flexibility.
- Treat muscle and soft tissue injuries.
Diathermy is primarily used in physical therapy and can also help in the treatment of some chronic conditions, such as arthritis.
Onnafit’s aesthetic electrostimulation uses electrical impulses to imitate the action of nerve signals and cause muscle contractions. The benefits offered by this treatment may include:
- Accelerates metabolism.
- Figure reaffirmation and muscle strengthening.
- Strong and defined buttocks.
- Reduces waistline.
- Reduces the appearance of cellulite.
- Improves blood circulation, which translates into optimal elimination of fluid retention.
- Strengthens the pelvic floor.
Onnafit aesthetic electrostimulation is often used in the field of aesthetics to improve the physical appearance and body figure of your clients.
