The MELT Fascia Hydrator™ was designed around one powerful idea: your body can heal and thrive—if you give it the right input. Studies on local and whole-body vibration show measurable improvements in:
Vibration therapy helps reactivate systems that slow with age—gently supporting you from the inside out.
Vibration Therapy Reduces Visually Assessed Cellulite
International Journal of Cosmetic Science (2020)
In a 24-week randomized study with 40 women, use of a localized vibration device significantly reduced the volume and visual appearance of cellulite on the thighs—measured by 3D imaging and expert-graded macrophotography. Continuous use maintained or improved results, while stopping treatment caused visible regression.

Vibration Improves Collagen Structure & Reduces Fibrosis
Published in Fascia Research IV (referenced study, 2015)
This clinical trial by Gordon et al. demonstrated that myofascial tissue treated with tool-assisted vibration showed measurable reductions in stiffness and increased elasticity. Results indicated improved hydration, local circulation, and a softening of rigid fascial septae—factors strongly tied to smoother skin and decreased cellulite visibility.

It’s not just about aging slower. It’s about aging better—on your own terms.

Christopher-Marc Gordon is a pioneering physiotherapist, myofascial osteopath, naturopathic practitioner, psychological coach, scientist, and inventor. At the core of his work is Interdisciplinary Fascia Therapy (IFT®)—a groundbreaking integrative approach to optimizing health and restoring physiological balance through the fascial system.
Driven by a passion for bridging science and somatic healing, Christopher developed a series of therapeutic tools to bring his techniques to life, including the Fascia-ReleaZer®, Deep-ReleaZer®, Stress-ReleaZer®, and Cellulite-ReleaZer®—each designed to activate the body's innate regenerative capacity through strategic vibration, compression, and movement.
Interestingly, the concept behind these tools was born almost by accident. While exploring vibration therapy, Christopher discovered its profound impact on tissue repair, capillary blood flow, and fascia hydration—factors directly tied to visible signs of metabolic dysfunction such as cellulite, dry skin, and premature aging. His insight? That fascia, when properly stimulated, could not only feel better—but look better too.
Fascia is a dynamic, fluid-rich tissue that responds to mechanical input—and vibration offers a uniquely effective stimulus. My research focused on how low-frequency oscillations improve fascial hydration, reduce densification, and stimulate lymphatic flow. We saw measurable changes in tissue resilience and mobility, which led us to consider how to apply this in a consumer-ready format.
Creator of the MELT Method™
We designed the tool to reflect key principles from our research: precision, frequency, and fascial layer specificity. Each of the four edges targets different depths and directions of fascial tissue, while the vibration settings (particularly the 40 Hz and rhythmic pulse) mimic the frequencies we used in clinical settings to optimize lymphatic stimulation and tissue regeneration.
In this age range, women often experience a perfect storm of hormonal shifts, slowed circulation, and connective tissue dehydration. These changes not only affect how they feel—stiffness, fatigue, aches—but also how their skin looks and ages. The Fascia Hydrator helps address both sides of that coin: restoring function while enhancing appearance, using the exact science-backed strategies we validated in research.
