The professional anti-cellulite treatment with Le’Spa cosmetics consists of several stages using different products. Each stage can be done separately, but the best results come from the full treatment performed in the correct order. The massage takes 40–45 minutes in total, and with the mask, around an hour and a half.
In brief
- Preparation: dry exfoliation.
- Stage 1: massage with warming anti-cellulite gel — 10–15 minutes.
- Stage 2: massage with a blend of gel and cream — 10–15 minutes.
- Stage 3: massage with anti-cellulite cream — 10–15 minutes.
- Stage 4: firming body mask — 20–30 minutes.
Preparation: dry exfoliation
Before the treatment, exfoliate the skin while dry — using grated coconut shavings or an exfoliating mitt with the coarsest texture. The aim is to remove dead skin from the areas being treated, so that the active ingredients can penetrate more easily during the following stages.
Stage 1. Massage with warming anti-cellulite gel
Massage the Le’Spa warming anti-cellulite gel into the problem areas for 10–15 minutes. The gel contains Brazilian pepper tree extract, which warms the massaged areas. It boosts blood flow, warms the fatty deposits and helps release the fluid retained within them. The skin turns red, but the redness fades after about 10 minutes.
Caution
Do not use the warming gel on areas with varicose veins. There, use anti-cellulite oil without a warming effect instead of the gel.
Stage 2. Massage with a blend of gel and cream
Mix equal amounts of the anti-cellulite gel and the Le’Spa anti-cellulite cream and massage for 10–15 minutes. The cream has a draining action and helps the active ingredients of both products penetrate more deeply.
Stage 3. Massage with anti-cellulite cream
Continue massaging the cream into the skin for another 10–15 minutes.

Stage 4. Firming body mask
After the massage, the fatty deposits have been broken down and have released fluid that now needs to be drawn out through the skin. This is the purpose of the firming body mask — a blend of French dental plaster and several types of silicone. The plaster is mixed with water beforehand to form a paste, and the mask is applied by hand or with a brush. There are two methods.
Recommended (professional) method
- Spread out a sheet of plastic film large enough to wrap around the area being treated.
- Apply the mask onto it in a layer of 3–4 mm.
- Place a cloth on top — ideally non-woven fabric (TNT, 70 g/m²), soaked in water and wrung out well, so it is only slightly damp.
- Wrap the “sandwich” around the treated area like a compress — the plastic film on the outside, the cloth between the mask and the skin.
- After 20–30 minutes, or once the mask has set, remove everything and dispose of it — it cannot be reused.
Easier, but non-professional method
The mask is applied directly to the skin (or onto the plastic film) in a 3–4 mm layer, the area is wrapped in plastic film and left for 20–30 minutes until the mask sets. The film and the mask are then removed. The drawback is that the body needs thorough cleansing after the treatment.
