Background
HYPOXI® was developed in 1999 by a team of Austrian doctors who recognised the growing need for a natural and scientific approach to cellulite and fat loss. Today, HYPOXI has established itself as a global leader in innovative weight loss systems and is operated in over 32 countries worldwide.

The team behind HYPOXI specialised in rehabilitating women after operative procedures and injuries. The doctors had a great deal of experience with traditional vacuum therapies – they had noted that the increase in blood flow which the vacuum therapies induced could accelerate the rate of repair of damaged tissue. At the same time, they acknowledged that exercise is critical to maintaining health and metabolizing fat.

Against this background, the team developed a technology which couples the advantages of vacuum therapy and exercise – the genesis of HYPOXI. What they discovered in the course of their initial trials was that the patients were not only recovering at a faster rate, but they were losing a disproportionate amount of body fat from the areas where the vacuum treatment was applied.

In addition, most clients noted a dramatic reduction in the appearance of cellulite.

Science
The team at HYPOXI swiftly engaged an independent expert in orthomolecular medicine to investigate into the science of this phenomenon. The findings were clear: genetics dictate that we have areas of our body where circulation is strong and areas where circulation is poor. Women for example, being built for child birth, tend to have very poor circulation in the lower abdominal region, hips, buttocks and thighs.

As blood is the means of transporting fatty acids, oxygen and nutrients around the body, it follows that if blood circulation in a particular area is poor, then the body’s ability to metabolise fatty acids in this area is also poor. This explains why many people find it difficult to lose weight from certain parts of their body, despite rigid diets and exercise regimes.

Effectiveness
HYPOXI is effective because it requires the client to get their heart rate to an optimum fat burning level and then begins to apply a vacuum therapy on the problem areas of the body. By promoting blood flow to these problematic regions during exercise, HYPOXI is able to dictate where the fat is burnt during the session.

It has been shown that with HYPOXI, up to 80% of the fatty acids consumed during the treatment are sourced from the targeted areas.

Controlled studies involving up to 530 women have concluded that HYPOXI users lose on average 3 times more circumference loss from the targeted areas than that achieved with conventional exercise.

High Paraise
HYPOXI has been hailed in Europe as “the most effective fat burning and cellulite reduction treatment to come on the market” (She Magazine, June 2005). Today, there are over 2000 HYPOXI clinics and 250,000 annual users across Europe and the Middle East alone, including high profile users such as Robbie Williams and Simon Cowell.
