At Parla Deniz Aesthetic, body contouring and firming is personalised body care at our beauty salon in Nişantaşı, using a body care device and hand massage on an area you choose, such as the stomach, waist, hips, legs or arms. With regular sessions, it supports a firmer, more toned and smoother look for that area. It is not a way to lose weight. Think of it as body care and regular, unhurried time set aside for your body.

There is no rush during a session. You spend time that is yours alone, in a warm and calm room, with a practitioner who listens to you. We would like this hour to be one of the most relaxing parts of your week.

Who is it for?

This care is for anyone who would like to give a particular area a little more attention. Guests often choose it when they:

  • Would like to set aside regular care for the stomach, waist, hips, legs or arms
  • Want to add a care programme alongside regular exercise and a balanced diet
  • Are past the postnatal period and want some time for themselves (once breastfeeding has finished)
  • Want to look after their body in the run-up to a special occasion or a holiday
  • Are looking for relaxing body care after a busy period

What can you expect?

Body contouring and firming is a care programme made up of regular sessions. As the sessions go on, the aim is a firmer, more toned and smoother look for the area. The pleasant relaxation you may feel after a session is the enjoyable side of this care.

We plan your programme around the area, your skin and your daily routine. This care does not replace exercise, a balanced diet or good sleep. Alongside them, it becomes regular time set aside to look after your body. Every body responds differently, and we talk through what you can expect at your first visit. Our post on how body contouring works explains the care, and what it does not replace, in more detail.

How does a session work?

Every session follows the same careful steps:

  1. A short conversation
    At your first session we talk about what you would like, which area we will work on and anything we should know about you. Your session plan is shaped by this conversation.
  2. Preparation
    The area is cleansed, and a suitable gel or care product is applied so the device glides comfortably over the skin.
  3. Device-assisted care
    We work on the area with the device head best suited to it. Depending on the head, you may feel gentle warmth, a light pulling sensation or vibration. The intensity is always set to what feels comfortable for you.
  4. Finishing with hand massage
    The session ends with a calm hand massage over the area.
  5. Care and advice
    A body care cream is applied, and we share a few simple tips for the hours after your session.

We explain how to prepare for your first session, and what you may feel during it, step by step in our post on what to expect at your first body contouring session.

Session length and frequency

Every service is planned and carried out to a personalised protocol, so the session length and number of sessions may differ for you. As a general guide:

  • Session length
    Please allow about an hour, including the conversation, preparation and finishing touches.
  • Frequency
    Usually one or two sessions a week.
  • Programme
    A programme of 6 to 10 sessions is most often suggested. Afterwards, you can continue with less frequent sessions if you wish.

At your first visit we plan together what suits your area, your goals and your routine best.

Preparation and aftercare

Before your session
  • Drink plenty of water the day before and on the day of your session.
  • Try not to eat a heavy meal just beforehand; a gap of a few hours after your last meal is ideal.
  • Wear comfortable clothes that are easy to take off.
  • If the area has sunburn or irritation, or you have recently had waxing or hair removal there, or used a hair removal cream, please let us know before your appointment.
After your session
  • Drink plenty of water during the day.
  • For the first 24 hours, avoid saunas, hammams, very hot showers and intense exercise.
  • A gentle walk is fine.
  • We suggest keeping alcohol to a minimum for a few days.

Please check with us first

If any of the following apply to you, please tell us before booking. Where needed, we may postpone the session or suggest you speak to your doctor first:

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • A pacemaker, or any metal or electronic implant in the body
  • A long-term condition, or medication you take regularly
  • Recent surgery on the area
  • An open wound, irritation or sensitivity on the area
  • A high temperature, or a time when you are feeling unwell

We do not offer this service during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. This list is a general guide and does not replace advice from your doctor. If you are unsure about anything, we would always rather you asked.

By area

Which areas does body contouring cover?

We plan your programme around the area you choose. These are the areas we work on most often:

  1. Stomach

    On the stomach, the device and hand massage work together to support a firmer, more toned look for the area.

  2. Waist

    Around the waist we use the device head that suits the area, with the intensity set to your comfort throughout.

  3. Hips

    On the hips the aim is a smoother, more toned look, and each session ends with a relaxing hand massage.

  4. Legs

    For the legs we plan regular sessions aimed at a firmer, smoother look, preparing the area carefully each time.

  5. Arms

    On the arms we use the device head that suits the area to support a firmer look, finishing with a body care cream.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is body contouring the same as slimming or weight loss?

No. People search for both terms, but body contouring at our salon is body care, not a weight-loss programme. Using a device and hand massage, it supports a firmer, more toned look for the area you choose. For questions about weight or nutrition, we suggest speaking to your doctor or a dietitian.

Does it hurt?

It is not usually painful. Depending on the device head used, you may feel gentle warmth, a light pulling sensation or vibration. We check in with you throughout the session and adjust the intensity straight away if anything feels uncomfortable.

How many sessions will I need?

A programme usually runs at one or two sessions a week, around 6 to 10 sessions in total. We agree the right number for you at your first visit, based on the area and what you would like to achieve.

When will I notice a difference?

The aim is a gradual change over the course of your programme of regular sessions, as this care is not a one-off. We plan your sessions at steady intervals and talk through your progress with you. Staying gently active and drinking enough water also support the process.

Which areas can you work on?

We work on the stomach, waist, hips, legs and arms. At your first visit we agree which area matters most to you.

What should I do after a session?

Drink plenty of water during the day, and for the first 24 hours avoid saunas, hammams, very hot showers and intense exercise. A gentle walk is fine. We also suggest keeping alcohol to a minimum for a few days.

Can I have this during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

We do not offer this service during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Send us a message and we can suggest other types of care that may suit you during this time.

Does it replace exercise and a balanced diet?

No, it complements them rather than replacing them. Think of it as regular time set aside for the area you choose, alongside an active routine and a balanced diet.

I am only visiting Istanbul. Is this worth booking?

It depends on how long you are staying. This care is planned as a programme of regular sessions, so it suits a longer stay best. If you are in Istanbul for a few days, message us with your dates and we will suggest what fits your trip, or another service that suits a short stay better.
