The unique technology promises one-of-a-kind benefits such as improved sleep quality, increased creativity, stress reduction, treats panic attacks and anxiety and reduces signs of depression.

      For a full body detox, the Triple Detox IDome gets rid of heavy metals and carcinogenic waste through Far infrared technology with Plasma and light. The other benefits include boosted mental clarity, skin renewal and spots and muscle recovery. Clients are asked to lay inside the detox machine, for it then to work its magic and remove any unwanted toxins after a simple 20-minute session.
      We all know the ample benefits oxygen has!

      High altitudes often have multiple benefits when it comes to improving energy efficiency. To create the same environment, the clinic’s Cell Gym technology ensures recovery through altitude training with minimum effort. With hypoxic training, the client can experience a sense of renewed energy, weight management, fatigue prevention improved metabolism and overall improvement in energy levels.

      To reverse the aging process and ensure your body receives the correct vitamins and minerals, Biolite promises a custom infusion drip with high-concentration ingredients to completely absorb into the bloodstream. Whether post-renewal after a long-haul flight or stress relief after intense working hours, this IV infusion therapy addresses all needs to maintain and improve health from the inside out.
      Designed for complete detoxification, Pressotherapy stimulates the body’s lymphatic system through an air pressure machine that uses an inflated suit to squeeze the arms, legs or abdomen in synchorised motion to remove any excess fluid for a complete cleanse. To reduce the appearance of cellulite, ensure toned and firm skin and strengthen the immune system, this mechanism provides a trusted approach to skin regeneration.
