For cosmetic purposes, a procedure is used to get rid of cellulite “orange peel”, to correct fat deposits, with the aim of improving blood and lymph circulation in problem areas and increasing muscle and skin tone.
How does this happen?
A stream of warm water under pressure is directed to problem areas of the body, not only the skin is massaged, but the blood circulation of the internal organs also improves. A stream of water is directed at the patient from a distance of several meters (3-5 meters), first a fan spray of water is used, then they switch to a compact water head. In the classic version, Charcot's soul uses warm water (32-40 degrees), while trying to avoid getting water pressure on the spinal column, genitals and chest. The duration of the procedure can be from 5 minutes to 15 minutes, in many respects the hydromassage time is determined by the sensitivity of the skin of the patient himself, his pain threshold. To complete the full course should do 10-15 procedures.
A Charcot contrast shower (or Scottish shower) is considered more effective , while hot and cold water alternate, the temperature difference is gradually increased.
When does Charcot's shower help? Positive feedback:
Many note an unusual feeling of lightness in the soul and in everything in the body, a surge of strength, there is no trace of depression from depression. The procedure is especially shown after abundant feasts, for example, New Year's holidays, as the body gets rid of toxins, drowsiness and bad mood disappear.
Charcot's douche against cellulite is one of the most effective (and inexpensive!) Procedures that have been tested in practice by many women. Cellulite simply “melts before our eyes,” the skin becomes elastic, and the muscles become taut. If you go through the entire course of procedures, then you can also get rid of 3-4 kilograms of weight. In combination with diet and exercise, the rate of weight loss increases.

Therefore, you should not do Charcot's shower before your summer vacation, reviews relate to ugly blue or red spots that arise due to the strong pressure of a stream of water on the skin, blood vessels may burst. Therefore, experts advise starting a shower with a small pressure of water, increasing the pressure should be after several procedures. Some note the soreness of a procedure such as Charcot's douche. Reviews suggest that women have the greatest pain sensitivity in the premenstrual period. Virtually everyone can allow themselves to make a Sharko shower, since the cost of hydromassage procedures is not sky-high.
