💆 A professional body-contouring gel from CIRCADIA built for clients dealing with visible loss of firmness, puffiness, and poor definition in the thighs and buttocks — where topical actives rarely reach critical mass.

The formula pairs caffeine and a theophylline alginate derivative to inhibit phosphodiesterase, visibly supporting fat mobilization and local microcirculation in a single application. Butcher's Broom Extract and Escin reinforce capillary tone and act as elastase inhibitors — helping the skin look firmer and less fluid-retentive over repeat sessions. Peptide actives Acetyl Hexapeptide-39 and Tripeptide-1 extend that work by targeting adipogenesis signaling and microcirculatory activation, making this a multi-mechanism contouring formula rather than a one-note caffeine gel.

Clinically positioned for professional body services, it performs as a post-wrap or post-massage finishing step — and converts naturally as a retail take-home to extend treatment outcomes between visits.

A strong addition to the body-contouring service menu for clients focused on visible toning and definition.

• Visibly firms and tones the body: The combination of Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract and Escin helps reduce the visible appearance of puffiness and support skin firmness, while peptide actives Acetyl Hexapeptide-39 and Tripeptide-1 address the appearance of skin tone and definition over time with consistent use.
• Stimulates local circulation: Caffeine and Tripeptide-1 work together to visibly activate local microcirculation in the applied area, helping to reduce the appearance of heaviness and sluggish skin tone in the thighs and buttocks.
• Supports the appearance of reduced puffiness and swelling: Escin and Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract both act on vascular tone and capillary integrity, helping to visibly minimize the appearance of fluid retention and swelling in the lower body.
• Targets the appearance of fat accumulation: The theophylline alginate derivative and caffeine inhibit phosphodiesterase to support the visible reduction of localized fat appearance, while Acetyl Hexapeptide-39 targets adipogenesis signaling to complement the contouring approach.
• Suitable for all skin types: The gel formulation is designed for all skin types and is appropriate for use on the body, particularly areas prone to sagging and loss of definition.

Caffeine: A well-established circulation-stimulating active positioned prominently in the formula. Caffeine inhibits phosphodiesterase activity, which helps promote the breakdown of stored fat in adipose tissue and visibly reduces the appearance of puffiness. Its diuretic-like effect on fat cells makes it a cornerstone of professional body contouring formulations targeting the thighs and buttocks.

Methylsilanol Carboxymethyl Theophylline Alginate - known as Theophyllisilane C (Theophylline Alginate Derivative): A silicium-complexed derivative of theophylline and alginic acid. Theophylline, like caffeine, inhibits phosphodiesterase and is associated with increased utilization of fatty tissue. The alginate carrier supports delivery to the target tissue, while the silicium component is associated with connective tissue support. This ingredient works alongside caffeine to reinforce the formula's body contouring mechanism.

Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract - known as Butcher's Broom Extract: A botanical extract standardized for ruscogenins — steroidal saponins that support venous wall tone and help reduce the visible appearance of swelling and heaviness in the legs and lower body. Ruscogenins are also noted for inhibiting elastase, an enzyme that degrades elastin fibers, which helps support the appearance of skin firmness and connective tissue integrity.

Escin: The isolated triterpenoid saponin from Horse Chestnut (Aesculus Hippocastanum), standardized for consistent potency. Escin reduces capillary permeability and supports venous tone, helping to visibly diminish the appearance of puffiness and fluid retention. As an elastase inhibitor, it complements Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract in supporting the appearance of firm, toned skin.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-39: A synthetic peptide known under the trade name Silusyne®, specifically designed to reduce new fat cell development (adipogenesis) by modulating PGC-1α activity in pre-adipocytes. Operating at trace concentrations as engineered, it complements the formula's circulation and lipolytic actives by targeting the signaling pathway that drives new fat accumulation, supporting the long-term body-shaping aspect of the formula.

Tripeptide-1: A bioactive peptide known under the trade name Liporeductyl® (in combination with other agents), associated with activating lipolysis and supporting microcirculation in adipose tissue. As a peptide active, it functions at sub-percent concentrations and works alongside caffeine and the theophylline derivative to reinforce the formula's overall circulation and fat-mobilization approach.

1. Ensure the client's treatment area (thighs and buttocks) is clean and free of residual products before application.
2. Dispense a generous amount of gel onto clean hands.
3. Rub the gel between the palms to warm and activate even distribution.
4. Apply to the target area using brisk, vigorous massage movements to stimulate local circulation during application.
5. Allow the gel to absorb fully; do not rinse off.
6. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application.
7. Advise the client that a warm sensation and temporary redness may occur at the application site; this is expected and should subside within 30–60 minutes.

Service integration and client advisement

This gel is well suited as a finishing step in a professional body contouring or slimming service, applied after any wrap, massage, or thermal treatment to extend the circulatory effect. For clients receiving repeat sessions, consistent application is key to visible long-term results — this creates a natural retail conversion opportunity: position the product as an at-home maintenance step between clinic visits to extend and reinforce professional treatment outcomes.

For clients with sensitive or reactive skin, monitor the treated area during the service — the combination of methyl nicotinate and menthol (from Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil) produces a genuine warming and circulatory flush response. Perform a patch test or apply to a small area first for first-time clients. Avoid use on any area with compromised skin barrier or visible irritation.
