I was one of the first therapists in the South East to take on Shrinking Violet as I wanted an alternative to the messy mud/clay wraps. After extensive searching, I found this product and private company which sounded amazing - too good to be true because nothing had ticked all the boxes with fat loss resulting in inch loss, skin firming and cellulite reduction!!
As I come from a science background I then did my research on the ingredients and had faith in the fact that Tibby Olivier is infact a cosmetologist and had hand-formulated Shrinking Violet to be the best it possibly can be, and at the maximum topical strength to enter the beauty industry and achieve the results we all desire. At the time, there was nowhere local enough for me to try it so I trusted the facts and bought the kits and never looked back. I have never ever not had anyone lose inches. Every single client has been over the moon and it actually doubled my income. The pictures of clients speak for themselves!
With regards to the science, this will be explained on the courses. The active ingredient is Hydrolysed Lecithin at 20% - maximum topical strength. Lecithin has been used for many, many years and can be purchased from health food shops in a number of forms for help reduce cholesterol and body fat. It is even in many of these new meal replacement products. Nothing new with this whatsoever but what Tibby Olivier have done is formulate it within an oil so that it penetrates the skin quickly and easily to find the fat cells and work on them this way. Under a microscope, Hydrolysed Lecithin has a head which is hydrophillic (attracted to water) and two tails which are hydrophobic (repelled by water). They therefore are active and have movement to get to where they want to be eg fat cell membrane. The fat cell membrane continuously allows particles in and out as required through receptors and channels, and luckily for us we can get the Shrinking Violet in to release the intracellular fat, which turns to free fatty acids, releases into the intersistial space (free space) and drains into the lymphatic system. This process actively works for 72 hours where fat loss results in more and more inch loss. Depending on how many billions of fat cells your client may have, and how full they are, is not something we can guess but some clients get an amazing inch loss from one and some may need upto six.
I hope that clarifies a little and I personally would never even look at another brand or a copycat version when this company has history and revolutionised body wraps.
