Cellulite Treatment – What to Expect
Lumpy appearance of the body due to cellulite deposits is an embarrassing problem. Many people, especially women, are distressed by the appearance of cellulite on their legs, buttocks, thighs and arms. The problem with cellulite is that it does not respond to strict dieting or exercises; topical creams and solutions available also do not give the expected results. The best option is to go for cellulite treatment to get enhanced results.
It is difficult to determine the actual cause of cellulite formation; however, several factors such as gender, skin thickness, obesity, genetics and age accelerate cellulite formation. Depending on the size of the area and complexity of the treatment, the cost and time required for cellulite procedure may vary. Yet, the normal treatment time ranges between 30 to 90 minutes.
How Cellulite Treatment Is Performed
Cellulite laser treatment is an FDA approved cosmetic procedure. It is simple, efficient and painless. You will not experience any pain as the skin is numbed prior to the treatment. Then, the cannula of Cynosure's Cellulaze cellulite laser workstation is inserted through minute incisions made on the skin. The powerful 1440nm pulsed laser is targeted at the cellulite pockets. This process thermally subcises the fibrous septae pulling down the skin, and also melts the fat pockets pushing up against the skin. These actions serve to reduce the orange peel appearance as well as the dreaded dimpling. The procedure ensures thickening and tightening of the skin layer. You can also experience significant improvement in skin elasticity.
Delivery of bidirectional laser by utilizing SideLight laser fiber guarantees greater patient safety and convenience. With the ThermaGuide delivery system incorporated with the Cellulaze device, there is no need to worry about discrepancy in the treatment. Precise and controlled delivery of laser energy also prevents overheating of the treatment area.
Reasons to Choose Cellulite Treatment
