Tips to Maximise the Results of 2B Skirt Ready

It has been a month since I started using 2B Skirt Ready and I'm absolutely LOVING it!

2B Skirt Ready by 2B Alternative- Hong Kong's Number 1 Selling Slimming Brand, is a whole leg treatment that specifically targets muscular and dropsy leg, and promises to improve the shape and contour of the legs in just 4-6 weeks of twice daily applications.

Besides slimming and toning the calves and thighs, 2B Skirt Ready boasts a supremely unique feature- Hair Off. With regular use, the product, which is high in herbal extracts, helps to reduce and slow down the growth of hair on the legs. As a result, leg hair grows finer, and may even stop completely after an extended period of application.



1 tube of 2B Skirt Ready(120ml) lasts for about 2 weeks if you apply it just once daily, and a little more than a week if you apply it twice daily, once in the morning, and once in the evening, after shower.

After having made my way through 2 tubes of 2B Skirt Ready, the skin on my legs is smooth and even-toned, due to the whitening effects of the gel. The appearance of stubborn cellulite on the back of my thighs has been greatly reduced, and the area is much less "dimply" now! I also noticed a significant reduction of flab on my outer thighs and hips, but what I find the most obvious is that the hair on my legs has become very much finer in texture, and is barely visible. I have also lost 0.5cm off the circumference of both my left and right thighs, which is quite impressive considering that my aesthetic doctor has highlighted that I do not have much fat on my thighs to begin with.

Here are some tips on how to maximise the benefits of 2B Skirt Ready.

1)Employ basic massage techniques when you apply the product. You don't need to be skilled in massage, simply use firm upward strokes and "wringing" motions (similar to when you're trying to squeeze a towel dry) beginning from the ankle up to the knee, then from the knee up to the hips.

2)Use a massage roller to help you! It also helps the product to be more quickly absorbed.

3)Wear good quality compression stockings to sleep at night, especially if your job requires you to stand for long periods during the day. This effectively reduces water retention in the lower legs. If you can afford it, medical grade compression stockings sold at pharmacies and hospitals are a good bet, or try Qtto, easily available at Guardian and Watson's.

4)Use a microfibre or microdermabrasion towel to stimulate blood circulation. Instructions are available on 2B Alternative's official website.

5)Go for a leg wax. 2B Skirt Ready helps to slow down and reduce hair growth, and having your legs waxed will put you one step ahead as the hair grows back very slowly. I usually wax my legs once in every 6 weeks, but since using 2B Skirt Ready, I didn't have to wax my legs during the 6th week, so the product really helps to prolong the results of your wax!

I'm off to get myself a new mini-skirt this weekend. I'm Skirt Ready, are you?

PS: 2B Alternative Skirt Ready retails in Guardian at $41.80. Get it here at only $40, including FREE shipping. Don't miss the other products, 2B Into Arm and Body-$40, and 2B Alternative For Face-$58

Slimming Treatment Review Update- Bottomslim

Bottomslim measures a client's progress after every 5 sessions.

On my 5th visit yesterday evening, I had a body analysis done and my weight taken. My body fat percentage had increased slightly, and I had gained 1.5kg. After the treatment, pictures of my tummy(but not my thighs) and my measurements were taken and my therapist announced that I had lost 1-2cm off the circumference of my thighs and tummy. How was this possible considering my weight gain and increased body fat percentage?

The only plausible explanations are:
1) I had gained more muscle mass, which causes the weight gain and inch loss as the muscles are toned and tightened. But if I had gained muscle mass, why did my body fat percentage increase?
2) The measurements taken are incorrect, or the readings of my body fat percentage are inaccurate.

Verdict: I am still unconvinced that the treatment made me lose 1-2cm in circumference from my tummy and thighs after 5 sessions. I'll see how it is again after my 10th visit. Perhaps the results will be more apparent by then.

Tip: To enhance the effect of the fat-burning mask, I do a 20 minute session in my FIR hot blanket when I get home. The heat helps the mask work longer. If you don't have a hot blanket, massaging the area to warm up the skin also results in a similar "tingling" feeling.

Important Note:

During my 3rd session, I suffered a number of mild electric shocks while using the padding machine. I informed my therapist, Stella, who proceeded to change the pads for me. However, the next set had a bad connection and I couldn't feel the machine working at all. After some adjustment, it worked but the mild electrical shocks, similar to strong static, prevailed. Upon closer inspection, I realised that a few wires were secured with duct tape! The original rubber covering may have worn off and duct tape used to replace it. I have already left feedback.

You may see evidence in the photos below. The wire, second from the left, has been wrapped with blue duct tape, while the fifth and sixth wire(not so obvious from the photos) is wrapped with black duct tape which has since slid down. The black duct tape has likely been in place for a substantial amount of time as it has left behind a sticky residue on the rubber covering.




Although I have been told by the therapist that no other customer has had the unfortunate experience of getting mildly electrocuted during treatment before, on my subsequent visits, I have asked for the pads without duct tape to be used during my treatment.

Slimming Treatment Review- Suddenly Slender



Suddenly Slender's 5 session trial at $99 consists of a 20 minute Infrared Sauna, a full-body Mineral Wrap, 1hr on an exercise machine, a full-body Sea Salt Scrub and 20 minute hot blanket. It can be done all on the same day, or over 2 days, with the first 3 sessions done on the first day and the remaining 2 sessions on the second day.



Unlike the picture on their website, the sauna session is not done while wrapped, but as the first step before being wrapped. The infrared sauna at Suddenly Slender is the highlight of the treatment. It is unique and cannot be found in any other slimming centre. The interior of the sauna is only slightly warm, and when you first enter it doesn't feel like a sauna at all! However, the effects are apparent about 5-10 minutes into the session. Heart rate increases as the infrared rays heat the body's tissue from the inside out, simulating cardio activity. Heavy breathing and perspiration follows. This is my favourite part of the treatment.

After that, body measurements and weight is taken, then the consultant(also your therapist) wraps the elastic bandages soaked in their in-house mineral solution around the body starting from the feet up to the shoulders. Plastic bags are put over your hands and feet to keep the floor dry. Passing gas or burping is common during the treatment as the wrap is very tight.

There are a variety of exercise machines like vibrating platforms and treadmills which you will use for an hour, or lie in a hot blanket for 40 minutes. During this time, another 2 more bastings of the solution will be applied. Like a classy fitness club, televisions and a variety of dvds are available in every room. I watched "The Incredibles" during my 1 hour exercise on the vibrating platform.

Suddenly Slender guarantees a minimum loss of 6 inches off the total body. After unwrapping, measurements are taken again.

The sea salt body scrub aids in detox. The large particles make it a little scratchy, but bear with it for 20 minutes in the hot blanket!

I also paid an extra $280 to try the PowerShape machine. It is an RF machine used for firming and contouring. There is heat and suction and the therapist uses it to "mould" and "sculpt" the silhouette. It can get quite hot, and I experienced immediate redness all over my abdomen after the treatment. I had numerous bruises on my tummy that appeared the next day, and took about 5 days to clear.

If you buy a package, the consultant will give you a regular diet plan, and a detox diet plan that you should adhere to 1 day before treatment, in order to ensure optimum results.

Price: $280 for PowerShape first trial, Basic Packages from $899(3 wraps), Comprehensive Package at $8888(about 4 months, 2 visits per week)

Verdict: I did go ahead and purchase a package that cost over $2000. After 6 visits, I did not lose any weight, and had in fact PUT ON 2kg. I was told that it was due to my body's inability to pass out excess toxins, and that lacking in minerals, my body absorbed the solution from the wraps. I did enjoy my sessions there, but the steep pricing and lack of results was unfortunate. I would recommend this place more for relaxing with the added health benefits of the minerals than for slimming or weight loss.

Plus Points: Located at 313 Somerset, with excellent facilities akin to a health spa or fitness club instead of a slimming centre. Good selection of current movies, a variety of exercise machines and of course, the infrared sauna. By far the most comfortable slimming centre. Comfortable treatments and friendly consultants.

Minus Points: The consultant is also your therapist, so if she is busy juggling many customers or unhappy that you are not buying a package, it reflects on the service you are rendered. Moderately pushy sales tactics are employed. Expensive. Long treatment time.

Tip: Wear a watch to keep track of treatment times as therapists occasionally reduce the time if it is late or if there are many customers. Try to visit during non-peak hours or Sundays when it is quieter so your treatments won't be rushed.

Slimming Treatment Review- Marie France Bodyline

Having bought the $68 voucher on Deal.com.sg for 2 sessions of Silhouthermie Wraps, 1 Power Sculpt Slimming Treatment, 2 Thermojet Lymphatic Detox Treatment and 1 Anti-Cellulite Fat Burning Serum at Marie France Bodyline, I was keen to find out what the treatments entailed. View the deal here.

Are these just fancy names for simple treatments like those at BodyPerfect?

Entrance to Marie France Bodyline's International Building Branch



Pot of tea at the waiting area



Corridor leading to the treatment rooms



Classy restroom facilities




The Thermojet Lymphatic Detox Treatment machine is a more sophisticated type of hot blanket. A cold gel is applied onto the arms, abdomen and thighs, covered with clear plastic and wrapped with large pads. The pads feel warm, but not warm enough to make me perspire, and the treatment lasts for 20 minutes.



This was followed by the Power Sculpt Treatment, which is a 15 minute massage on 1 area, followed by a 15 minute cold Orange Mask.

As they were about to close, my consultant, Iris, canceled my 25 minute Silhouthermie Wrap. This treatment is what is given during the free trial session, and consists of an elastic cloth bandage soaked in a mineral solution and wrapped tightly around the body. You will then stand on a vibrating platform or you may choose to lie down.

Verdict: Very basic treatment, more like a spa session than a slimming treatment! The Power Sculpt massage and mask was enjoyable. Acceptable for the price.

Package Prices: $1000 for a "Taster" Package, consisting of 1 trial session each of 7 different types of machines, V-pro included. $1988 for a 96 session(around 40 visits) Basic Plus Taster Package, which comprises the Taster Package and a Basic Package with a mixture of body wraps.

Tip: Ask to have a look at all the listed package prices in the menu(usually in the consultant's file) to get a rough idea of the various treatments and prices. Bear in mind that the listed prices have already been inflated to allow for some modification.

Slimming Treatment Review- BottomSlim At Orchard Central

Hailed by Cozycot as Singapore's Best Slimming Centre, Bottomslim offers first-time customers the option to choose between a trial session of 1 Tummy, Hip and Thigh Trimmer + Apple Stem Cell Therapy + Slender Light Therapy at $48, or a basic package consisting of 10 Tummy, Hip and Thigh Trimmer + 5 Apple Stem Cell Therapy + 5 Slender Light Therapy at just $99. This offer is only valid through their website. You may view the promotion here.

I visited their Orchard Central branch.



Good assortment of magazines available at the waiting area.



Comfy sofa



Corridor leading to consultation and treatment rooms



Consultation room



Treatment room




First, a 5 minute foot soak. The water was cold...



Then I had my weight,photos and measurements taken before being hooked up to the padding machine for 20 minutes. This treatment is the Tummy, Hips and Thighs Trimmer. 2 pads were strapped to my thighs and another 2 pads were placed on my tummy. I was told that the vibrating currents are used to break apart the fat cells.



Next, the Apple Stem Cell Therapy, a mask, was applied on my thighs and a heating lamp(Slender Light) is used to enhance penetration of the mask. The light is very warm and was quite uncomfortable. It felt a little burning. This treatment took 20 minutes and I was done.

Plus Points: Quick treatment session. Knowledgeable consultants and friendly therapists. Good, quiet location. Flexible instalment plans with a wide range of credit cards from 3 months to 24 months repayment accepted. Service charge by credit card companies are absorbed by the company.

Minus Points: Slightly uncomfortable treatment. My consultant, Rachel, was only slightly pushy with the package. Therapists are very young and seem to lack communication skills and knowledge about the treatments, but are friendly.

Note: I was informed that results would be apparent after 5 visits. Look out for an upcoming update after my 5th visit.

Slimming Treatment Review- Accent Ultra



I chanced upon ClearSK Aesthetics at Orchard Central and saw an information leaflet about Accent Ultra, a slimming and body contouring treatment only available at aesthetic clinics.




The reception and waiting area





After reading up on it over the internet, I fixed an appointment with Dr Shiau Ee Leng, Medical Director of ClearSK. During my consultation, Dr Shiau assessed my dietary habits, recorded my weight and BMI, asked me about my concerns, took my blood pressure, and did a body check.

She suggested a course of 10 Accent Ultra treatments to be done on the back of my thighs, assuring me of good results, but advised me to consider if I would like to do a similar course of treatments on my tummy, as the lack of skin tone and elasticity meant that an improvement in appearance of only 30% could be expected.

She prescribed me Xenical, a fat blocker, to aid in weight loss.

The treatment room




Before the treatment, I changed into disposable underwear and had my weight taken. The circumference of my thighs was measured and recorded, and a photograph of the back of my thighs was taken.



Accent Ultra is an ultrasound and radio frequency treatment, which reduces fat and tightens the skin. My therapist suggested applying an optional set of 3 fat-burning ampoules and massaging it into the skin to enhance the treatment's effectiveness.

A clear gel is applied onto the area to be treated, then ultrasound is administered using alternating cold and hot waves for 20 minutes, to reduce fat layers. The machine incorporates a temperature sensor that automatically switches back and forth between the cold and hot functions.

Next, Unilage radio frequency is applied for a further 15 minutes to firm and tone the area. This part of the treatment can be quite uncomfortable as the heat is quite intense. The therapist uses a handheld thermometer to measure skin temperature throughout the treatment, and there are breaks every minute to allow the area to cool slightly.

After the treatment, thigh circumference is measured and recorded again, and another photograph taken.

I had lost 1 cm off the circumference of my right thigh, and 0.5cm off my left. Over the next few days, the broken-down fat will be passed out of the body naturally through the lymphatic drainage system.

Plus Points: Relaxing spa ambience, short treatment time, immediate and lasting results. GST is absorbed(a HUGE plus, but only at the Orchard Central branch), and progress is medically supervised, so you are assured of results. Accent Ultra can be used on difficult-to-tone areas like the bra-line, back and love handles. A feedback form is given to monitor client satisfaction after every visit.

Minus Points: Slight discomfort during the second part of the treatment(Unilage RF). Operating hours are 10.30am-8pm from Monday to Wednesday, 11.30am-9pm on Thursday and Friday, 10.30am-6pm on Saturday, closed on Sundays and public holidays. Dr Shiau is usually in on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. There is only 1 machine, so make your appointments in advance, or visit during non-peak periods. Accent Ultra is only available at Orchard and Tampines branches. Occasional hard-selling by consultants(a minor inconvenience), packages expire after 1 year.

Price: $80 for a consultation with Medical Director- Dr Shiau, Xenical(by prescription only)- $3 per capsule, Panbesy(by prescription only)- about $30 for a month's supply of 30 capsules, Accent Ultra- about $3500 for 10 sessions, 1 session for 1 area only, including 3 reviews(consultations) with Dr Shiau after your 3rd, 6th and 9th visit.

Verdict: Good value for the price. Results are obvious, constant and lasting.

Note: Accent Ultra produces the best results on areas with "soft" fats. Dr Shiau does not hard-sell any treatments or packages. Occasionally, consultants may try to upsell certain treatments or products. I usually check with Dr Shiau if these are necessary before I purchase.

Tip: I usually go for a lymphatic drainage massage and a body wrap a couple of days after my treatment to enhance the detox process. While these services are available at ClearSK, I choose to go to Babelicious Medispa(located on the same floor, just a few units away) or Bella Luna(across the road at Cuppage Plaza) as the prices are lower.

Slimming Treatment Review- Marie France Bodyline


Yesterday, I went to try Marie France Bodyline's newest body contouring machine, V'Pro Advance, which combines 4 treatments into 1 session. Featuring infrared, radio frequency, vacuum and mechanical tissue manipulation, this 30-minute premium intensive treatment packs quite a punch!

Infrared rays deliver heat into deep tissue layers, while radio frequency tones and firms loose skin, enhancing collagen production. Vacuum aids in draining excess fluids and detoxifying, resulting in less cellulite and skin dimpling, plus mechanical tissue manipulation disperses and reduces the size of fat cells.

A series of 15 treatment sessions is recommended for long-lasting and measurable results. Significant improvement to skin tone and appearance is evident from the first session.

I must admit that having tried the radio-frequency machine, PowerShape, at Suddenly Slender previously, and the Unilage RF as part of my Accent Ultra treatment at ClearSK, I was a little apprehensive since the heat is generally quite intense.

Before the treatment, my consultant, Iris, confirmed with me that I had no metal implants(eg: IUD, heart pace monitor) in place. This treatment cannot be administered on people with metal implants. Satisfied that it was safe to proceed, I was directed to a dimly-lit room where I changed into disposable underwear and removed my belly piercing.

My therapist applied a thick layer of clear gel onto my tummy, adjusted the intensity of the machine, and commenced with the treatment. The machine was applied to my tummy in smooth strokes, and I could feel the rollers and the suction. It felt similar to the pinching techniques used in slimming massages. It was not painful and the heat was at a comfortable warmth. In fact, I felt like I was being "ironed" and "vacuumed"!

Immediately after the treatment, my tummy was warm and slightly red. My skin was noticeably firmer and smoother in appearance and texture. The redness had subsided by the time I got home.

Today, my tummy is a little sore, like the day after I've just had a slimming massage done. I've been assured that it is normal and that the slight discomfort will dissipate in a few days.

Plus Points: Relaxing and comfortably warming massage-like treatment, immediately visible results after 1 session, short treatment time.

Minus Points: Slight soreness and discomfort the day after treatment, requires many sessions done regularly over a period of time(about 2 months) for significant results, quite expensive for a salon treatment

Treatment Time: About 30 minutes per area

Treatment Price: $600 per session, 1 area(A La Carte)

Verdict: Comfortable treatment, visible results. Excellent potential to deliver what it promises over multiple sessions. Too pricey(for a salon administered treatment) to purchase without a package though.

Slimming Centre Review- BodyPerfect



Always on the hunt for slimming treatments that will help to contour and sculpt my body into my ideal shape, I bought the voucher featured on Deal.com.sg (80% off 6 Unique and Effective Fat Burning Solutions@BodyPerfect, Orchard & Raffles Place Branch. Only $28 instead of $199) to go check out BodyPerfect located at Liat Towers, Orchard Road.



Upon arrival, I filled up a form and then proceeded for the consultation. My consultant, Diana, shared with me that she had just delivered her second child 7 months ago, and through using BodyPerfect's Cold Shu Signature Treatment(a cold wrap infused with a special in-house solution)-10 sessions for $1800, combined with the SuperVac(suction) machine-10 sessions for $1800, has managed to firm up her tummy substantially. She recommends I top up $80 to try a session of the SuperVac(First Trial at $150).

I ask her to explain to me the 6 treatments on the voucher I had purchased;
1)360° SpotReduction Programme - Award-Winning Spot Treatment
2)Far Infrared Lymphatic Drainage- Ceramic Waves Technology featuring Uniform Energy Distribution
3)BodyPerfector Serum- Dermal Sculpting Treatment Serum
4)Thermal DeepFat Burn- Promotes SubDerma Fat Burn
5)BodyFat Mobilisation System™ (bFMS) - Prolongs the Increased Localised Metabolic Fat Burn
6)Thermogenic extracts- BodyFat Mobilisation SystemTM (bFMS) Thermogenic extracts

Turns out Item 1 stands for "Choose 1 area", Item 2 is a hot blanket using Ceramic Waves Technology, Items 3, 4, 5 are 3 different types of fat-burning creams, and Item 6 is another type of fat-burning gel to apply after the treatment.

What fancy names for such a simple treatment that lasted a mere 30 mins!

Diana is a little frustrated that I'm not upgrading my treatment. But aside from abruptly cutting me off mid-sentence, she does make some effort to conceal her frustration and is not outrightly rude.

I chose to do my tummy. My therapist applied 2 layers of cream onto my abdomen, wrapped my tummy with cling-wrap, and I lay in the "Ceramic Wave Technology" hot blanket for about 20 mins. Then she applied one more layer of fat-burning gel and I was good to go!

Plus Points:

1)Consultants and Therapists are separate and distinct. Consultants recommend and sell customers the treatments. Therapists administer the treatments. So if your consultant is pissed with you for not purchasing a treatment of a higher value, at least she can't take it out on you during the treatment session!
2)Treatment is comfortable; the blanket is warm, not hot, and the creams are tingling.

Minus Points:

1)Treatment rooms and interior areas are dated and separated by thin wall dividers. Be prepared to listen in on everyone's conversations in the rooms around you and have everyone listen in on whatever you say as well!
2)Facilities are almost non-existent. There are no steam rooms, saunas or showers.
3)No weight or measurements were taken before and after the treatment.

Verdict: The treatment is acceptable for the low price of $28.

Average Package Price: $1800 for 10 sessions of cold wraps, $1800 for 10 sessions of SuperVac suction machine, 1 session for 1 area only.

Treatment Time: 1 hour

Note: On BodyPerfect's official website, the BodyFat Mobilisation System™ (bFMS) is described as Ultrasonic Cavitation and Skin Diathermy, which I thought would entail use of a machine as "cavitation" is a treatment whereby fat cells are subjected to extremely high heat, which causes them to "pop" and liquify. The fatty acids are then passed out naturally through the body's lymphatic drainage system. However, no machine was used. Upon further enquiry with Karen, Centre Manager- Orchard Branch, she confirmed that it is a special type of fat-burning cream coupled with the Thermogenic extracts gel to prolong the fat-burning process. Furthermore, Far Infrared treatment causes the body to heat up from within, thus causing an increase in heart rate, simulating cardio activity, and subsequent perspiration. I did not experience this during the blanket treatment.

Slimming Centre Review- Marie France Bodyline

Recently, I saw a promotional campaign on Cozycot for Marie France Bodyline which includes a 1 hour free trial for new customers, and a 6-month package at just $133 per month, plus complimentary nutritionist session on every visit, facial treatments, hair & scalp therapies, massage therapies and hand therapies. You may view the online advertisement here.

I went to the branch at International Building. The centre is done up nicely in warm shades of brown and gold, and the staff greeted me with welcoming smiles.



I was handed an information brochure and a form to fill in my details.




After a short wait, I was led to a room where I met with 2 nutritionists. I stood on a machine, similar to the one at Suddenly Slender, which performed a body composition analysis. The nutritionist then informed me that my BMI is 17.5, which classified me as "Slightly Underweight" according to the Health Promotion Board's BMI table for adults. My body fat percentage is 19%, which is in the healthy range of 17%-24% for females. I was advised not to lose anymore weight, and instead focus on firming and toning. Next, I filled up a health questionnaire(Any health problems, constipation, smoking, alcohol consumption etc.) and was asked about my regular dietary habits.

Next, I met my consultant, Iris, who reviewed the information and asked me what were my expectations and goals. She had a look at my problem areas(hips, thighs, tummy, love handles and arms) and declared that the area which required the most attention is my tummy.

I asked her what is included in the free 1 hour trial. It is the consultation and a standard cold wrap- Fat Mobilization System(Marie France's pioneer slimming therapy) for 1 area. The treatment takes 25 minutes. Elastic bandages soaked in a special solution is used to wrap the body, followed by a mild exercise session on a vibrating platform.

The special package promotion at $133 per month for 6 months is based on credit card instalment plans. It consists of 8 FMS cold wraps and 8 sea salt scrub treatments with use of a hot blanket.

As they were closing, I didn't get a chance to try the free cold wrap. Iris suggested I come in the following day to do the treatment, but as I was not free, she promised to follow-up with me and fix an appointment.

Plus Points: Staff are polite and friendly, body fat composition and analysis is comprehensive, and nutritionists are on hand to dispense advice or tailor a diet suited to individual needs. Centre has a relaxing spa ambience and is aesthetically pleasing. My consultant, Iris, is knowledgeable about the treatments and their procedures. Website is comprehensive. Consultants and therapists are distinct.

Minus Points: The centre is unisex, so expect to bump into the occasional male customer(Every treatment is carried out in a private room). Operating hours are 11am to 8.30pm on weekdays, and 11am to 5pm on Saturdays. They are closed on Sundays. Peak hour slots on weekday evenings are usually very busy, and there appears to be a slight shortage of therapists. Closing times are more strictly enforced than in other slimming centres. It is virtually empty by 8.30pm, and you'd have to use the public toilet on the first floor if you end your treatment at closing time. Some hard-selling is to be expected, though prices are somewhat reasonable compared with other major slimming chains. Credit card instalment plans are limited, troublesome to apply, and incur a mandatory service charge(Service charge is not permitted to be deducted off the listed package price, but will be offset by additional treatments given in the form of rebates.)

Average Package Price: Upwards of $3000 for a customised fixed treatment programme(1 session for 1 area only), $10,000 for a 20 session customised free-range treatment programme(all slimming and contouring treatments, all areas, 1 visit equivalent to 1 session, maximum 5 hours per visit), $20,000 for a 40 session "all-in" customised free-range treatment programme(all slimming and contouring treatments, all areas, inclusive of all Bust Treatments and facials, 1 visit equivalent to 1 session, maximum 5 hours per visit)

Treatment Time: 25 minutes for a wrap
