A beauty therapist to the stars has died after battling cancer for a second time.

Gloria Hincapié had body contour spas situated all over the US and South America.

She is famous for developing the Hincapié Technique, which manually eliminates fat concentrated in specific areas of the body.

The treatment is said to hit spots “where no machine, amount of exercise or diet can reach”, according to her website.

The technique is all-natural and considered a “healthy and safe alternative to plastic surgery”.

The 63-year-old also developed a line of pineapple-based beauty products with “proven high success rates”.

She had loads of celebrity clients.

The Colombian body therapist, who worked alongside her partner, Ángel Velasco, passed away in Los Angeles.

Velasco said: “We were walking hand in hand and suddenly she looked at me and began to fade away.

“I grabbed her arm and placed her on the grass on the ground.”

He added that she was “fighting a second cancer”.

In one of her final posts, Hincapié said: “In Colombia, I became well known for serving people in politics, as well as beauty queens, and many models and Miss Universes.

“I wanted to expand and went on to conquer Miami, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and New York.”
