Body Contouring and Firming
A personalised body care programme using body care devices and hand massage, supporting a firmer, more toned look in the area you choose.
At Parla Deniz Beauty, body contouring and firming is personalised body care carried out at our beauty salon in Nişantaşı, using body care devices and hand massage on areas such as the stomach, waist, hips, legs or arms. It is not a way to lose weight; think of it as 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
- Have had a baby 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 not a one-off session; it is a care programme made up of regular sessions. Many guests also enjoy a pleasant feeling of relaxation afterwards, which is part of what makes this care worthwhile.
We want to be honest with you: this care does not replace exercise, a balanced diet or good sleep. Every body responds differently, depending on your skin, your age, your daily routine and how regularly you come to your sessions. That is why we never promise measurements or centimetres. Instead, we talk openly about what you are hoping for from the start and offer you a realistic plan.
How does a session work?
Every session follows the same careful steps:
- 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.
- Preparation: The area is cleansed, and a suitable gel or care product is applied so the device glides comfortably over the skin.
- 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.
- Finishing with hand massage: The session ends with a calm hand massage over the area.
- Care and advice: A body care cream is applied, and we share a few simple tips for the hours after your session.
Session length and frequency
Session length and the number of sessions vary from person to person. 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.
Rather than give you a single number, we plan what suits your area, your goals and your routine together at your first visit.
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, epilation or used hair removal cream there, please let us know before your appointment.
After your session:
- Drink plenty of water during the day.
- For the first 24 hours, avoid saunas, the hamam, 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
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.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is this designed to help me lose weight?
No. Body contouring and firming is not a way to change your weight; it is body care for the area you choose, using a device and hand massage. It does not replace exercise or a balanced diet, and for questions about nutrition or weight 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?
It varies from person to person. A programme usually runs at one or two sessions a week, around 6 to 10 sessions in total. We agree the number together at your first visit, based on the area and what you would like to achieve.
When will I notice a difference?
This is different for everyone, so we do not promise a timeframe, a measurement or a number of centimetres. This care is not a one-off session; it works as part of a regular programme. Coming to sessions regularly, staying gently active and drinking enough water all play a part.
Which areas can you work on?
We usually work on the stomach, waist, hips, legs and arms. At your first visit we talk through 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, the hamam, 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.
I am only visiting Istanbul. Is this worth booking?
This care is designed as a regular programme, so a short stay will not give you the full picture. If you are in Istanbul for a few days, message us with your dates and we will tell you honestly whether it makes sense for your trip, or suggest another service that fits better.
