Which of the following is not listed as a general effect of gyratory vibratory treatment?

• A. To reduce localised fatty deposits.
• B. Increased blood circulation which improves skin colour.
• C. Desquamation, improved skin texture by removal of surface dead skin cells.
• D. Relaxing of tense muscles due to the heating effect.

Answer: (A)

Gyratory vibratory treatment works by delivering controlled mechanical vibrations into the tissues, which stimulates several bodily responses. The vibrations boost blood and lymphatic flow, so you often see improved skin colour and a healthier appearance as circulation increases. The mechanical action also helps loosen surface dead skin cells, contributing to desquamation and a smoother skin texture over time. The warmth generated by the device can relax tense muscles, so you may notice reduced stiffness and a soothing sensation. Reducing localized fatty deposits, however, isn’t a general effect of this therapy. Fat loss involves changes to fat stores and metabolic processes, which aren’t achieved simply by vibration.
