Known for its stimulating properties, caffeine excites the central nervous system and acts on the muscular system increasing physical performance as well as ability to concentrate. Also, in small doses, caffeine also decreases fatigue, but too much caffeine is harmful to health.
How Caffeine Therapy Works
To begin treatment you need to have an evaluation with a professional who will diagnose the degree of the problem and then indicate the number of sessions needed and the skin region that will receive the treatment, according to each case.
The procedure begins with an exfoliation, which aims to remove dead cells, thin the skin, prepare it for treatment and improve its absorption capacity.
Next, a substance containing coffee and green or pink clay is placed directly on the skin. Then the skin is wrapped in a thermal blanket for 30 minutes. This blanket has the function of opening the pores to facilitate the penetration of the active principles of both coffee and clay. Its use is often alternated with that of an aluminum sheet, which helps to reduce sagging.
