Not long ago, my bridal studio have launched a new gown collection (anyway, they launched it twice a year if I never remember wrongly) and they were having the facebook liked & share giveaway.
I joined in the give away for fun as there were Mary Chia treatment vouchers to be won. I was 1 of the lucky winners to walk away with the treatment vouchers. I didn't really expect it. I went down to collect it asap as the vouchers were expiring on 15th December.
I get to choose between Customized Face Spa or Intensive Weight Vaporizer. As I'm going for facial really soon, I don't see any point in getting the Customized Face Spa. I find it weird to do a face spa without doing extractions and etc. Logically, it should be done after a facial. No? Yes? That's how I feel anyway.
So I went for the Intensive Weight Vaporizer. I chose the treatment to be done at Jurong Point since it's near my place. I'm pretty skeptical about all this type of slimming treatment whenever I see their ads on TV. I've always wonder to myself "does it really works?" Now I was give thechance to try it myself for free! :) Not that I'm not satisfy with my body or what, it's just out of curiosity.
I've actually booked the appointment on Wednesday but on Tuesday, I decide to pop in after work and see if they are free and yup they are wiling to do the treatment for me even though it's counted as walk-in. They have enough manpower and what's more, Intensive Weight Vaporizer treatment is mainly done by machine. So not much monitoring is needed from the staff's side.
The outlet manager explained to me what to expect in every stages before bringing me in.
Before I start the treatment, they brought me to chang emy clothes. There's lockers to put my belongings and the locker can only be opened via your index fingerprint. Cool! They also provide me a disposable underwear and also a robe to change into. They took my weight before the treatment so as to see the difference after the treatment.
Intensive Weight Vaporizer treatment is separated into mainly 4 sections.
1) Air Pressure Slimmer
I was bought to try the Air Pressure Slimmer after changing.
I never took any pictures during the process because I was walking everywhere around the place and I don't have a pocket to put my phone lol.
The Air Pressure Slimmer machine comes with a flatten air bag, and I was required to tuck my legs in as though I'm wearing a pants.The staff came to zip me up into this flatten air bag.
Sooner or later, the air bag is being pumped up and seriously, I felt like a pumped up doll. It's as though you are taking your blood pressure, but this time round it's your whole body! When it reached the maximum, I can totally feel all the blood in my body squeezed into my brain. I feel as though I'm bursting.
The Air Pressure Slimmer serves the purposes of compressing and relaxing your body. It's to help improve the circulation of your body. The whole process took 15 minutes.
2) Sauna
Next, I was brought to the Sauna station. But first, they got to apply the fat burner cream onto my body before I enter the Sauna room. The fat burner cream serves as a purpose to help better burn your fats away.
It's been very long since I stepped into a Sauna room. It has 2 levels of wooden bench inside the room. The bench on the higher up level is hotter than the lower level. So if you are not able to take it, you can shift down to sit below. The sauna session is about 15 minutes, and it's probably the longest 15 minutes in my life. I did think of taking up hot yoga at one point in my life, now I'm doubting myself.I really can't stand the hotness lol.
Though it's a Sauna room without the steam, which means dry sauna but it's still really hot. I was sweating like mad. Anyway, they should install tv inside the Sauna room so that their customers can watch while waiting. It's really boring. Running seems to be a much better choice for losing weight rather than getting roasted in the Sauna room.
They came to change my towel on my head pretty often. I'm quite grateful for that. There's a down side of this treatment, the sauna room is not entirely yours. There are others who are also doing the treatment will come in to sit too. Hence, there's no privacy and your whole body will be seen by the others except the crucial parts which are properly covered.
3) Special Vibration Bed
Last but not least, it's the Special Vibration Bed. 15 minutes on the machine burns the same calories as 45 minutes of vigorous exercise I'm like SERIOUS???!! lol. Got so easy ma??!

Okay, the bed somewhat look like this. You lie on it and the whole machine will shake vigorously for 15 minutes. It's hard to fall asleep inside also. So, I was bored again. But at least it's much better than what I felt in the sauna room. It's much more cooler outside :)
4) Body Wrap
I was bought to do the Body Wrap. I've to keep the wrap on for 30 minutes to 2 hours. I should have worn long sleeve and jeans because it's a full bodywrap. They can be easily seen, especially if you're wearing sleeveless or dress. I opt to have it wrap till my thighs and as for my arms, I wore my cardigan home. So it's not obvious at all that I'm being wrapped up.
Movement is kind of restricted and you really got to be careful when removing the body wrap. If not, you might cut youself unknowingly.
So now the important question is, how much weight did I lose after the whole treatment. I lost 0.5kg! Honestly speaking, I think it's due to water loss in my body.
I would prefer exercising/eating clean to lose weight. I've only tried 1 time, so I can't comment much about its effectiveness but there's another 2 girls I saw undergoing this treatment too while I was there. Seems like it's pretty popular.
