Understanding
Recognising water retention
Water retention is one of the most frequent requests in the salon. The tissues hold more water: the client feels bloated, her clothes feel tight by the end of the day and her figure looks less harmonious.
01
Swelling at the end of the day
Ankles, calves or stomach look more swollen in the evening than in the morning.
02
Marks on the skin
Socks or clothes leave visible marks on the skin.
03
Watery cellulite
Fairly soft orange-peel skin, often associated with a feeling of heavy legs.
In the event of sudden, one-sided, painful or unusual swelling, refer the client to her doctor before any treatment.
The causes
What encourages water retention
Several everyday factors can encourage water retention. Knowing them helps you advise your clients better between sessions.
01
A diet too high in salt
Salt encourages water retention in the tissues.
02
A sedentary lifestyle
Sitting for a long time slows down exchanges in the legs.
03
Heat
In warm weather, the feeling of swelling increases.
04
Hormonal changes
At certain times of the cycle, the tendency to retain water increases.

The assessment
The STARVAC DIAG® assessment
STARVAC DIAG® analyses the client's hydration and body composition: it helps distinguish a tendency to retain water from a need more focused on the figure, so you can choose the right protocol.
