The first time it occurred to me that puffiness was a mortal sin, I was a 19-year-old model on the set of a beauty shoot. “She’s puffy,” I heard an invisible critic hiss from the back of the studio while an assistant spackled concealer under my eyes. “She’spuffy.” Throughout history, women from Marilyn Monroe to Ashley Judd have suffered similarly for their ostensible excesses—too much champagne, too much surgery, too much filler, too much food.
“Puffiness is a sign that there is an imbalance in the body,” Joel M. Evans, M.D., director of the Center for Functional Medicine in Stamford, Connecticut, tells me, sharing a list of balance-altering offenders, from stress and lack of sleep to alcohol and processed foods, which can incite inflammatory chemicals called cytokines throughout the body.
As I step into what can best be described as a sheer skin suit, Zahn walks me through the ICOONE, a futuristic depuffing device with a pair of oscillating roller heads that glide over the face and body to gently reduce cellular deposits, relax the nervous system, and enhance blood and lymphatic flow.
Interesting. I’m dealing with puffiness & am certain my entire body is imbalanced.
