“The holidays are a time for celebration, family and—let’s be honest—a little indulgence,” says Victoria Kseniya Simon, the CEO and founder of Contourology, a popular body sculpting studio located in the heart of Brentwood Village. “All of those rich meals, extra sweets and late nights can leave us feeling bloated, sluggish and less than our best.” As a busy mother-of-two and Brentwood resident herself, Simon understands firsthand how tough it can be to balance the post-holiday bounce back while juggling day-to-day life. Which is why she has created a quick, easy and effective five-step plan exclusively for Brentwood City Lifestyle readers that incorporates Contourology’s cutting-edge modalities and treatments. “Follow these tips to feel lighter, healthier and more toned in no time,” she says. “Let us help you start 2025 ready for whatever comes next.”
Step 1: Lymphatic Drainage Suit with Infrared
“Our lymphatic drainage suit is an excellent way to kick-start your body’s recovery,” Simon says. This 30-minute treatment combines gentle compression and infrared heat, encouraging lymphatic flow to reduce bloating, promote circulation, release trapped fluids and stimulate the body’s natural detox process.
Benefits: Infrared heat also helps aid digestion by gently warming the core and stimulating the system. You’ll feel lighter and notice immediate improvements in bloating and fluid retention, setting the stage for faster results.
Step 2: Infrared Sauna
“This isn’t just any sauna!” Simon explains of Contoulogy’s relaxing jade sauna bed. “It works by using gentle infrared rays that penetrate deep into the skin, encouraging detoxification and boosting your body’s calorie burn.” The heat promotes a soothing sweat session and has the added benefit of burning around 600 calories in a single 30-minute session.
Benefits: Besides calorie burning, infrared heat reduces stress, boosts immunity, soothes sore muscles and helps your body recover quickly. It’s perfect for supporting weight loss while providing a moment of much-needed relaxation, especially after a busy holiday season.
Step 3: Lymphatic Drainage Manual Massage with Wooden Sculpting Tools
“For a more hands-on approach, we offer manual lymphatic drainage massage using advanced Brazilian techniques and wooden sculpting tools,” Simon says. This specialized technique promotes the release of fluid buildup and improves the body’s natural drainage processes. Contourology’s skilled therapists use rhythmic motions to reduce swelling, improve digestion and help eliminate bloating.
Benefits: This massage not only feels amazing but also shows instant results. You’ll see a visible reduction in swelling and a more contoured look in targeted areas. It’s perfect for individuals who want a quick yet impactful treatment that provides both relaxation and body-sculpting benefits.
Step 4: Lipo Laser with RF (Radio Frequency)
According to Simon, “Contourology’s Lipo Laser with radio frequency treatment provides a non-invasive solution for those stubborn post-holiday pounds.” This cutting-edge modality targets and shrinks fat cells with low-level laser energy, while also tightening the skin, targeting specific areas and leaving clients looking more sculpted and toned without any recovery time.
Benefits: Lipo Laser with RF is ideal for treating areas that often show holiday weight gain, such as the abdomen or thighs. It’s painless, effective and allows you to get back to your routine immediately. People love it for the quick results and convenience.
Step 5: EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation)
“EMS is like a workout without the sweat!” Simon explains. “It’s fantastic for those looking to re-tone their core, glutes or thighs.” By sending powerful electrical pulses to specific muscle groups, this treatment causes instant contractions that tone and strengthens muscles while helping to burn calories.
Benefits: EMS not only helps with toning but also boosts your energy levels, making you feel stronger and ready to jump back into your fitness routine. Sessions are efficient, meaning you can achieve great results in a short amount of time—a lifesaver for busy people with packed schedules!
