health & wellness advertising section BALLANTYNE HYPOXI's Targeted Body Shaping Helps You Design a Beautiful Figure No matter how often you exercise, those stubborn problem areas on your abdomen, buttocks and legs remain, especially during colder months without outdoor exercise. The HYPOXI studio in Ballantyne, the fi rst to open in America, now offers you an ideal environment to work on these problem areas effectively using the celebrated HYPOXI program. Developed by European sports physiologist Dr. Norbert Egger, HYPOXI therapy works by simultaneously applying vacuum and pressure therapy while exercising. The recognized and patented HYPOXI method is a unique therapy proven to combat cellulite, stubborn fat deposits and poor connective tissue. Your personalized HYPOXI training program is designed during a personal consultation and fi gure analysis with a qualifi ed HYPOXI coach. With its innovative combination of alternating pressure, vacuum and gentle exercise, HYPOXI training permits targeted and long-lasting body shaping. The HYPOXI Trainer S120 eliminates fl ab on the buttocks and legs using a special pressure chamber that reaches up to the hips. This method increases metabolism and stimulates blood fl ow to the desired locations so that the body can convert those fat deposits into energy. HYPOXI Dermology exercises the connective tissues, stimulating blood fl ow in the skin with an alternating application of vacuum and pressure. The two therapies work together continuously on the skin in problem areas while you relax on a comfortable recliner. After just a few sessions, your skin looks visibly fi rmer and younger. Winter is an ideal time to achieve the fi gure you have always wanted. HYPOXI is located at 12335 N. Community House Road.
