I did. I had 2 sessions and followed up with a 4 month at home program. I noticed immediate weight loss and inches from my thighs, bottom and tummy. I kept up with the treatment at home and have to say my skin is beautiful. However, I just had lipodissolve done today in combo with Thermage and the results are amazing. I'm going to use the rest of the Ionithermie in conjunction to see what happens. I'll keep you posted.

Hi, yes I've had it a few times and yes it does work. My friend is a ionithermie specialist,and i have also seen others have great success. It is vital that you keep up the work at home or you lose the results. It is an excellent detox. For best results drink 3 liters of water per day, use the sauna and also massage. plus a 6 month home program. It is not a cheap program but it works. It will boast your circulation to the cellulite areas, free toxins and eliminate water retention.It is a great detox and a good weight loss enhancer.

You commented that your friend is a ionithermie specialist. I would like to know how to get this training. Do you have any info on how to find training for ionithermie procedures?

I have had ionithermie and also done it, as I have worked on the ships for the last three years. The treatment will not cause a large dent on your body although with people who are either larger in size or in toxins may have worse before it is better effects. i was rather large and had no cellulite at the age of 26. I started a diet and the treatments and home care and noticed i had cellulite, i just needed to loose weight and start toning before i could see it. It will go away if you continue to use the metesystem and/or body brushing. As far as training goes you need to contact the company directly as it is new to the u.s. you will have to be trained from a beauty school in galvanic/faradic electrical treatments. so far i do not know of a school in the u.s. they are mostly in england and south africa.

I had lonithermie on a cruise in Jan 08, and ever since have a major indentation on my buttock exactly where the electrode was sitting. This was on Royal Carib Freedom and the girl kept asking if she should turn it up, and I told her have a high tolerance for pain, so do wheatever gets the best results. I tried to contact the spa and the manufacturer and both denied that this procedure could have caused any damage. But, I tell you I have a tremendous dent/hole in my butt probably 2 inches by 2 inches and 1 inch deep. Has anyone ever heard of anyone else having such side effects?

Yes, I recently had it done, 9/12/2009,and I lost 3 inches. The process was at first uncomfortable, but I have never used electrobes before. After an one hour treatment (20 mins with electrobes on, I lost 3 inches around my entire upper/lower torso. I was please with the results. I have NO dents, plus I would not let her turn it up too high.
SusanC 17 Feb 2010
Yes, I just returned on Monday from a Carnival Spirit Cruise to Mexico and had the treatment. It was wonderful! I never felt uncomfortable with the electrobes. After 10-15 minutes they were turned up and it still was not uncomfortable. I have no dents or holes. I did notice an improvement on my thighs and stomach as soon as I was finished with the treatment. I am extremely happy with the results....I lost 8.7 inches and plan to continue the treatment at home.

How do you plan to continue it at home? I did it on the cruise, Oct. 1st, and it was great - 7.6 inches lost from under bra to knees.

But I am not sure what to do at home, to follow up?
Thanks!

Hi -Ive had ionithermie treatment sessions. it smooths your legs and helps with cellulite removal. However it is expensive. im not happy that I was promised inch loss and even with a combined healthy eating plan i didnt lose that much. I would say not to waste your money. dont even waste your time going to MYBODY at liverpool - the girls there are unprofessional with using the treatment and make false promises.

I just returned from a Carnival Cruise and had three treatments because of digestive problems as well as water weight gain. Not only did it relieve my digestive symptoms, but I lost sixteen and one half inches! I cannot afford to do this on a regular basis, but it really helped.

Can you tell me where to reorder? The form they gave me has the wrong info on it or the server no longer works. I had the bath treatment and the pills.

I just got back from a cruise on the carnival dream and had 4 treatments all together I lost 22 inches betweeen my upper thighs and lower waist. It was amazing. I seen results right away. I also bought the 6 month at home treatment but its worth the results. I reccomend anyone to try it if your serious about losin weight and celulite. Im not a big girl im actually 5'3 and about 135 lbs and just wanted to try it because I wanted to look better for my wedding. So size height and weight doest matter it works on all.

Where can one get this treatment on land in London area? MLP
Flapper49 17 Jul 2011
I have not seen it confirmed that injection of RESTYLANE or other Hyaluronic material can alleviate folds between the mouth and chin. I am not here interested in the naso-labial area.
Thank you.
Regards, Flapper - aged 70 but even now not looking quite that age apart from Marionette lines as defined above. .

Does anyone know where can I go in England to be trained to do ionithermie treatments.
lisajchilds 4 Apr 2012
yes! go to 'thebeautyroom' co uk and email them. I've just done the same, they are as far as i know the only trainers. They also sell the ionithermie homecare products at a good price compared to the cruise ships!!
lisajchilds 4 Apr 2012
needless to say I had treatments on Oasis of the Seas last weeks. 4 treatments, incredible results. only 11.5 inches in total, but i'm already slim and exercise a lot. I had a lot of cellulite and water retention on thighs. It has almost all gone with those 4 sessions, and I was recommended just a 24 day home treatment. I bought this after returning to UK from website mentioned above. Very happy and considering purchasing a machine!!!
Flapper49 4 Apr 2012
Very interesting, Lisa. I lost folds from around my abdomen but no treatment was available for plump/ pitting tops of legs. How can I find such treatment?!! I need to loose fullness and firm up around there. to what machine do you refer? The electro-galvanic equipment? Regards! Flapper49
lisajchilds 4 Apr 2012
It was the ionithermie treatment, (with the ionithermie machine sending electrical impulses) all around thighs and buttocks.
My stomach is fine, so I only had it on thighs!! Go get it done!!! Should be cheaper than on Cruise. I don't know where you live but i've found salon in Manchester, England that offer treatments at £58 per session.....
Flapper49 8 Mar 2012
You could ask the cruise company Royal Caribbean. They offered that service on “Independence of the Seas” last May so their Staff Recruiters (for the SPA) might have a clue...

I just came off a cruise..Carnival Elation & I had the spa treatment done,& I must say I saw the differents an how my legs got smoother & didn't feel so tight..I plan to order the product & continue from home:)

Flapper49 4 Apr 2012
Oh! I have plump/ pitting at the tops of my legs. No treatment was offered to those but only to my abdomen! How can I find such THIGH treatment?!! I need to loose fullness and firm up around there. Regards! Flapper49

I just came back from a seven day cruise on the Carnival Magic. I had the three day Ionithermie Algae Detox treatment and I did not notice huge results immediately, maybe because of those Blue Margaritas in the monkey glasses. Now that I am home, I can see that the program really worked. Looking in my own mirror I see a huge improvement. I also lost 15 inches in my lower body and now I need new jeans. The Miss Me jeans I bought for the cruise are falling off now. Losing inches is the best excuse to go shopping. I did not purchase the take home program from Carnival because I was not 100% sure it worked while on the ship, but now I want to buy the products. I will take a look at the site mentioned above. If you ever cruise on the Carnival Magic, ask for Charmaine to perform you Ionithermie treatments. She is amazing.
