Hypoxi was developed in 1999 by a team of Austrian doctors who recognised the growing need for a natural and scientific approach to cellulite and fat loss. In the course of their trials the doctors discovered patients not only recovered at a faster rate, but were also losing a disproportionate amount of body fat and a reduction in the appearance of cellulite from areas where the vacuum treatments and exercise was applied
The result - the Hypoxi team developed a technology which couples the advantages of vacuum therapy and exercise.
It is effective because it requires the client to get their heart rate to an optimum fat burning level and then begins to apply a vacuum therapy to the problem areas. By promoting blood flow to these problematic regions during exercise, Hypoxi is able to dictate where the fat is burnt during the sessions. It has been shown that with Hypoxi, up to 80% of the fatty acids consumed during the treatment are sourced from targeted areas.
Circulation promotes fat burning. Put simply, fat burns more readily in the parts of the body that have strong blood circulation than in those with poor blood supply. This fact explains why many of us find it difficult to eliminate fat and cellulite from certain areas of our body despite a strict diet and extensive training. Blood is the means of transporting fatty acids during exercise. Fat deposits are very difficult to eliminate in areas where circulation is poor. The area around the stomach and hips has very poor circulation in most people - Hypoxi enhances blood circulation in these problem areas.
