In Western Europe during the Victorian era, a visit to a Turkish bath was considered cutting edge. Today, cutting-edge spas are tech-hip, equipped with advanced machines and techniques that provide clients with more contoured bodies and fresher faces. Since opening in 2007, Trim & Tone Spa, in Naples, has offered Southwest Floridians some of the most state-of-the-art spa services, products and equipment available anywhere today.

“I love the beauty industry, so I enjoy attending educational seminars and expos, as well as doing significant research to keep up on the latest technology,” says Michelle Misiorowski, who owns and operates the spa with her husband, John. “It’s especially rewarding to find unique technologies, such as Exilis, VelaShape, VacuStep and the Formostar InfraRed Body Wrap, that address the effects of aging, wrinkles, damaged skin and cellulite without involving medical or surgical intervention.”

Exilis is a non-invasive, non-surgical device that melts fat cells and rejuvenates the production of collagen. Used for cellulite reduction and skin-tightening, it harnesses the power of ultrasound vibrations and radio frequency energy to liquefy cellulite on the abdomen, hips and thighs. “We’ve also seen immediate results when treating the face, neck, arms, knees, back and buttocks,” advises Misiorowski.

VelaShape is the first and only FDA-approved, non-surgical, non-invasive technology that combines powerful energies to reduce the volume and appearance of fat tissue and cellulite. “I often use the Exilis and VelaShape treatments together for even quicker results,” explain Misiorowski, who regularly receives referrals from area plastic surgeons.

She notes that the VacuStep Workout is also effective against cellulite and fat. “The elliptical machine features a low-impact, fat-burning chamber. Users see impressive results after only four weeks,” says Misiorowski. The equipment directly activates blood circulation in the body’s major cellulite zones of hips, buttocks, stomach and thighs.

The Formostar InfraRed Body Wrap for cellulite reduction utilizes six silicone treatment pads placed at targeted areas that include the thighs, for slimming and cellulite reduction, and the abdomen, hips and arms, for slimming and fat loss. Misiorowski says it also burns calories and increases metabolism.

The spa also offers signature seven-layer European facials by Jacqueline; deep-pore cleansing; a non-surgical facelift mask; alpha hydroxy acid peels and dermaplaning, as well as butterfly eyelash extensions; waxing; aloe cloth body wraps; detox foot baths; a far infared sauna; full body massage; and the new VersaSpa system, a full-body spray tanning treatment.

Misiorowski is licensed by the state of Florida and has undergone rigorous training provided by the manufacturers of the technologies and equipment she uses.
