00:00It's okay.
00:04It's actually like every single muscle is contracting.
00:09And you...
00:11She asked for go high.
00:13She also does that so I can't talk to her in between takes.
00:16She knows what she's doing.
00:17She's like, I will silence.
00:22Hi, Laura, I'm Shay Mitchell
00:23and I'm here for my lymphatic massage with Flavia.
00:26Come on in.
00:33Flavia!
00:34Hi, Shay.
00:35Shay.
00:36Shay, Shay.
00:37Tell people how you really say my name.
00:39Shay Nicho.
00:39In the beginning, Shay Nicho.
00:41We have known each other since 2016.
00:43Yes.
00:44That's crazy.
00:4610 years.
00:46Flavia, we met in New York.
00:47You literally knew like five words in English.
00:50Yes, I just say hi and bye.
00:52Right, and now it's insane.
00:54A little bit improved, but love you.
00:56I just landed, so this is going to be the perfect massage.
00:58Let's go there.
00:59Okay, let's go.
01:05Immediately when I step in this room, I feel at peace.
01:10It's so calming in here.
01:11Not only do you get an incredible lymphatic massage when you're here, you get the sexiest
01:15undergarments you have ever seen.
01:16What is this you're asking?
01:17Sometimes I'm confused.
01:19Is this the underwear or the bra?
01:20The underwear.
01:21This is the underwear.
01:22Okay?
01:23Yeah.
01:23So sexy.
01:24So sexy.
01:25The treatment that I'm going to be doing today is your glorious lymphatic massage.
01:29Yeah.
01:30The one normally we do right now for preparing more your body, we do the lymphatic and scooped
01:36and the radiofrequency, the body healthy.
01:39Truly, you can notice such a big difference with a lymphatic massage, especially because
01:43I'm traveling all the time or even just from working out.
01:46It feels amazing, but you can notice a physical difference instantly right after.
01:51That's why I love it.
01:52I love you.
01:53Love you.
01:53Back in five minutes.
01:55Perfect.
01:56I'll get into this.
02:03First, we're going to wipe her face with Rini.
02:06Then you're going to explain a little bit of everything inside.
02:09These were created for my kids.
02:11They took off my makeup so easily that now this is what I use.
02:16The one we use right now for taking the makeup off from all our clients.
02:20This is a hard day today.
02:25Only one?
02:26Yeah.
02:27Clean everything.
02:28This is actually my go-to for, I mean, I try to see you before we have any red carpet
02:34appearances or anything.
02:36It's just such a difference in how the makeup even goes on.
02:42Again, especially after traveling when you feel like you land and you look a little tired
02:46or you are carrying a little bit more water weight, this completely drains it.
02:50And especially in your face where you could tend to hold more of that.
02:53I use this oil.
02:55It's very light.
02:56It's from the Oliver.
02:58And I use some probiotic in her face.
03:01Just, like, move her face a little bit before we start to use a few toes.
03:08You get your body massaged, but then you don't think about your face.
03:12And we all move our face so much that it just, like, is a place we don't necessarily think
03:17about when it comes to massages of any kind.
03:20Excellent.
03:21We use a little bit of the oil and a little bit of this cream.
03:25And I use a few other things quickly.
03:31I like everything with vibration for the face, for vibrating the cells, for removing the water
03:37and relax the muscles.
03:39Everything with vibration I use.
03:48The red light helps your cells a little bit.
03:51Cell turnover.
03:51Yes.
03:52But, like, the mistake, I already told her, is look at the red light.
03:58Hold on, repeat that.
03:59Because you said the mistake is looking at, yeah, not looking at the red light.
04:03You cannot.
04:04You need to wear, like, a proper glass or something else.
04:08Turn your face.
04:09He did get mad at me the other day.
04:10I was in front of my red light panel with no sunglasses on, and I did get a text from
04:15Flavia.
04:21So when you're draining, you're pushing it into my neck, right?
04:24Like, this is going out.
04:25This is how you get it out.
04:26So you push it from my face down.
04:28Down.
04:31This is another vibration, but this is a star rock, the crystal.
04:37This came from China.
04:39And because it's a little bit warm, all the clients love this one.
04:43And have more vibration.
04:56This feels so nice.
04:58It's so warm, and it's, like, just, like, rollers on your face.
05:01I just feel like it's a different sensation from, like, one being her hands, then using
05:06the different machines.
05:07It feels so calming.
05:10After a face massage, you feel your skin very tightening.
05:13Because of the blood is already in your face.
05:16And we just make them circulate a little bit fast and became warm.
05:21And this is help tightening.
05:32So what is this little thing that you're using?
05:35This one here, we normally put in your Alba line.
05:38This is for help, like, your body, you'll be more, like, central, like, align everything else.
05:46This is what Chinese people use.
05:49This, and they remember the feet and the belly.
05:53We use the hole, but I like to use this, include this in the face, just for help.
05:59Like reflexology, you're saying, kind of, right?
06:01Yes, it's almost.
06:02Hitting certain pinpoints.
06:03Yes.
06:04This is also a heated tool that she has.
06:07And it's also another little roller, but it's a lot more pinpointed.
06:11It also feels really amazing.
06:13I have some of this stuff, but let me tell you, it feels very different when you do it
06:17to yourself versus having somebody else do it to you.
06:20So I have it.
06:21It's just collecting a little bit of dust.
06:23I just much prefer to use it when I'm here.
06:25I can't do this to myself.
06:28It just is another level.
06:30But I do, I have a gua sha.
06:32I'll do a little bit of that.
06:33But there's just something to actual hands doing it in somebody else's.
06:38Like I couldn't, well, maybe I could.
06:40It's not the same.
06:53Now her face is really hot, really warm.
06:56And normally after the massage, we put some mask.
07:01This is going to be a little bit cold.
07:04And what is going to happen?
07:05This is going to make her skin more tightening.
07:08The cold and hot feeling.
07:10This is just soap.
07:12Soap.
07:14But when I went in Korean and when I went in China, they teach me any soap from the Korean
07:22China is the best way.
07:23We put a little bit of water and make the foam and apply in the client and clean with
07:28the foam.
07:36I just put this PG-I-N mask for hydration and I'm going to use this yoga probiotic.
07:45The best part is when Flavia travels and she goes to Korea or somewhere in Asia and then
07:49she comes back with all these new little trinkets and little, all these new products.
07:55It's really fun.
07:56And I want to use everything and try everything.
08:00Yeah.
08:01This is the truth.
08:04So this next thing that we're doing is a radiofrequency little machine.
08:08I say it's spicy because, listen, it tingles a little bit.
08:12Radiofrequency, it feels like little pins and needles on your face.
08:18And she'll kind of amp it up a little bit.
08:21Level three.
08:25Oh my God.
08:26It's so spicy.
08:30Did that say derma shock mode?
08:32Cause that's what it did.
08:33Derma shot.
08:35Level two.
08:36Okay.
08:40I like to use just for pump a little bit.
08:44It feels like it's pumping up the skin.
08:47After any red carpet is the best one.
08:52Yeah.
08:54Spicy.
08:56It's like such a weird sensation.
08:58It feels.
09:01It feels like a little.
09:05In the scalp, it's like little tingles.
09:07Like it feels like a million lightning bolts on your face.
09:10And then when you go around your teeth, sometimes you could feel it.
09:14But like in your forehead, it goes in your scalp.
09:18And it's truly like a million little lightning bolts in your face.
09:28After we put the cream, because we're gonna do the whole body, we're gonna put the, it's not the sheet
09:33mask, it's the gel mask.
09:34I like to use this one for keeping the hydration a little bit more.
09:38Because the secret for keeping her skin shine is hydration.
09:42I know she was traveling and I know she's gonna need a little bit more hydration, but her skin is
09:48amazing right now.
09:59I would say that this was one of the best things that I did when I was pregnant, having consistent
10:05lymphatic massages.
10:06Especially because you retain so much more water when you're pregnant.
10:09As soon as I came home from the hospital, Flávia was over.
10:13She got to not only meet the new one, the new addition, but also just help me feel so much
10:19better.
10:20Moral of the story, hydration, hydration, hydration, right?
10:24How do you say that in Portuguese?
10:27Hidratação, hidratação, hidratação, hidratação.
10:31This is the key.
10:32I'm not saying this the right way.
10:48We're gonna do the cryo and radio frequency max for help tightening the area in her belly.
10:55We can do it in any part of her body.
10:58Really up close and personal over here.
11:00This is glycerin. The machine works with some glycerin only.
11:05We have the plate in her back because the radio frequency is like a monopolar.
11:11Everything you're gonna be on her and not gonna be around.
11:14This helps tightening fast because after having two kids, the skin stretch a little bit.
11:22She's not gonna feel a lot because the machine is very, very cold.
11:27It's like minus one and you're gonna be hot and cold together.
11:33It is like a really like hot and cold sensation.
11:36It's cold right now, but I also, you know, sometimes when things are so hot that they feel cold.
11:40I don't know, vice versa.
11:42It goes from feeling really cold, but then it also heats up the skin.
11:46So I can tell that my skin is warm, but the machine is super cold.
11:50I don't know if that made sense, but that's what it feels like.
11:53How often would you say to do this?
11:54This one here, we can do it like twice a month, every two weeks.
11:59But the last time we have done the treatment, we have done every week for be quickly, you remember?
12:04Right.
12:04For tightening.
12:05This, because it's too strong, this machine, we can do only four minutes in the belly.
12:10No more than four.
12:13Normally when we do everything, it's around two hours.
12:16Body, face.
12:17Also, would you say that people can do a little bit of lymphatic massage at home?
12:21I prefer vibration plate, then you try to do the massage at home.
12:26Massage, we can do your arms the way I already teach, the face.
12:29But the body is no sore effect.
12:32I prefer you move your blood, then you move nothing.
12:36And exercise, the lifestyle, the food, everything you're going to help with like the consistency.
12:42The secret for everything is the consistency.
12:53All right.
12:56Okay.
12:57This is a magnetic one.
12:58This is stimulated her muscles.
13:01And this is help building the muscles in the area.
13:0775.
13:08Holy shit.
13:23It's such a weird sensation on your stomach.
13:26This tapping, it feels like...
13:29That thing just turned off.
13:30I don't even know how to explain it.
13:31All of my muscles are contracting at the same time.
13:37And it's truly as if you're doing, I don't know, like 5,000 sit-ups.
13:40Yes.
13:41And this machine, the people don't talk a lot about, we use because when you make the
13:46lipolicy process for make she lose weight, we need to burn a little bit more calories.
13:52We need to burn a little bit more fat.
13:54But this is for creator abs, but she exercise a lot and she's already have the abs.
13:59We need just tighten a little bit more the skin for show her six packs.
14:03Oh, yeah.
14:04Show my six packs.
14:05Because she's already have six packs because she exercise a lot.
14:08What level are we at?
14:10She hides this from me too, so I can't see the level.
14:14It's okay.
14:17It's actually like every single muscle is contracting.
14:21And you...
14:23She asked for go high.
14:25She also does that so I can't talk to her in between takes.
14:28She knows what she's doing.
14:29She's like, I will silence.
14:32This is 30 minutes sometimes, but then...
14:37This is normally 30 minutes treatment.
14:39It just depends.
14:40It depends on how long we can go that day.
14:42Sometimes I'll go up a little bit higher.
14:45And some other days, a little less.
14:59I feel brand new.
15:01I feel so much better than I did walking in here.
15:04And that was a great full day of treatments in one session.
15:11So there we have it.
15:21All right, so there you have it.
15:23I got a lot of different treatments.
15:24And we did a lot in an hour.
15:26And now I feel so refreshed, hydrated, moisturized, and have my special tea.
15:32So I'll see you next week for my standing appointment.
15:34See you.
15:35Bye.
15:36Ciao, ciao.
15:36Ciao, ciao.
15:37Bye.
15:38Bye.
