We have this conversation frequently at iluexpert. A client arrives expecting body contouring to help them lose weight. When we explain what it actually does, they are sometimes disappointed — and sometimes delighted, because the answer is actually more interesting than they expected.
What Body Contouring Actually Targets
Non-invasive body contouring at iluexpert uses MANTIS technology — a combination of vacuum rollers and pulsating magnetic fields — to target localised areas of the body. Unlike weight-loss methods, MANTIS treatments work on skin quality: activating microcirculation, stimulating lymphatic drainage, firming the tissue and improving texture. It refines and reshapes specific zones rather than reducing body mass.
The MANTIS Range
We offer three applicators within the MANTIS range, each designed for different areas and intensities. MANTIS Maxi DES targets large body zones — abdomen, thighs, back — using vacuum rollers and magnetic pulses to drain lymph and improve skin quality across a wide area. MANTIS Mini DES is designed for precision contouring of smaller, harder-to-reach zones: inner thighs, knees, upper arms. MANTIS MAXENERGY delivers the most intense magnetic output in the range — deep tissue activation and firming across large body zones for clients looking for more significant sculpting results.
The Right Candidate
MANTIS body treatments work best for clients who are already at or close to their healthy weight but want to improve skin texture, firmness or the appearance of specific areas — particularly where skin quality has been affected by hormonal changes, lifestyle factors or time. These are often areas that remain stubborn regardless of diet and exercise.
Maintaining Your Results
MANTIS improves circulation, lymphatic drainage and skin quality in the treated areas. Maintaining stable weight through the treatment period and beyond helps preserve and extend your results. Staying hydrated and active between sessions supports the lymphatic work the treatments begin.
Setting Realistic Expectations
In your consultation, we will assess whether your goals are achievable with MANTIS treatments and be honest if a different approach would serve you better. Our goal is always a result you will still be happy with a year later — not a short-term fix that fades in weeks.
