How It Works

See for yourself: after 40 minutes of general exercise, check the temperature of various parts of your body. Your legs, buttocks and hips will feel warm, whilst the stomach and waist area tend to remain cooler. A cool surface can indicate poor circulation, which in turn can lead to more fat storage. This simple test can help your identify areas where it may be harder to burn fat. The ‘problem zone’ of belly fat is caused partly by poor blood circulation in the subcutaneous fat layers. If you tend to store weight around your midriff, poor circulation in this area could be making it more challenging to burn this fat and improve your shape. TechnoShape stimulates the waist area, encouraging more blood circulation, which makes the fatty acids here more available as fuel during exercise.

It is scientifically proven that excess weight around the abdomen can lead to obesity-related illness such as heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. Reducing your waistline with TechnoShape can help you improve your health. Regular and gentle exercise (with your doctor’s approval) should boost your overall fitness, stamina and endurance. 

We designed Pressure Pause Therapy to support the natural movement of the digestive system and increase circulation. This can also boost lymphatic and venous flow, improving your general health and wellbeing.

Because TechnoShape helps you strengthen your core (without undue pressure on your joints and back), you could experience a rise in your balance and stability. Daily tasks, including bending or stooping, can become easier, especially if you’ve lost some unwieldy pounds around your waist.

A stronger core can also improve posture. Good posture helps you breathe deeply and stand tall, which makes you look more confident (and look slimmer). When you engage your postural muscles, you also burn fat, even when you’re simply sitting or standing.

A research study1 investigating the link between visceral fat, insulin resistance and vascular disease shows that fat impairs the dilation of arteries and promotes local fat-storage. This means excess fat storage is more likely to occur in the parts of the body where fat is already located, whilst fat loss in these areas will be more difficult as a result.
This study suggests that exercise-induced increases in blood flow to problem areas may alleviate the vasoconstriction caused by excess fat and improve the body’s natural ability to burn fat locally.
The process of stored fatty acids being released into the bloodstream to then be used by muscles for energy is known as lipolysis.
Science has clearly shown that during exercise, your muscles can use dietary carbohydrate or fat. Low-intensity but steady cardio can maximize fat burning, while more intense exercise shifts to burning glycogen and glucose instead of fat2,3.

With a combination of steady, low-impact exercise and the benefits of Pressure Pause Therapy on midsection circulation (and subsequent fat burning), TechnoShape is perfect for:

• Men wanting to get rid of their ‘beer belly’
• Celebrities preparing for a moment in the spotlight: red carpet, film tours, etc
• Executives who travel a lot for business and have little time for the gym
• Apple-shaped men and women with excess fat around the stomach and waist
• Women wanting to get rid of excess stomach fat after pregnancy.
• Post-menopausal women who want to target stubborn stomach fat
• Women who want to regain their hourglass shape
• People considering a tummy tuck, liposuction or other invasive surgical solutions.
• Anyone who wants to firm the stomach skin after weight loss: users often experience increased skin firmness and elasticity.

No, it doesn’t. TechnoShape is completely pain-free and can be used every day without side effects. In fact, the more you use it, the quicker you’ll notice the difference. TechnoShape doesn’t use electrical impulses. The pressure chamber uses compressed air to promote a massaging effect in cyclical rhythm. This Pressure Pause Therapy (PPT) stimulates blood circulation in the targeted area, which means your body can break down fat reserves and use it as fuel for your muscles.

TechnoShape is flexible, to fit in with your life. Depending on your training schedule, you can use TechnoShape for as little as 30 minutes per session. This is enough to promote the breakdown of fat cells in the body.

Stress and sugar play a significant role in the size of your middle. Stress releases cortisol (the fight or flight hormone), and excess cortisol can cause fat storage to centre around the abdomen. When we’re stressed, we crave sugar (really). Our bodies sense an emergency, and want quick-release energy, to fight or flee the presumed danger. But this sugar tends to contribute to weight gain around the middle. Simple sugars (and refined carbs) cause larger insulin spikes than complex carbohydrates or protein, so including foods such as green vegetables, berries, proteins and ‘good fats’ such as avocados into your diet can promote fat burning. Alcohol often contains ‘invisible’ sugar and carbs. While most males tend to carry excess weight around their middle, women are more likely to carry weight around their hips and thighs… until menopause. Hormonal changes can shift a woman’s weight to her belly, often a distressing side effect. Ageing in general can slow your metabolism and cause subsequent “waist gain”. And even a few pounds each year will eventually add up. Certain medical conditions and hormonal disruptions can contribute to abdominal weight gain. If you’re experiencing a major change in your body’s fat stores, a doctor visit could rule out any serious problems.
