This treatment is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses bipolar radiofrequency energy and infrared light to heat the fat cells and the surrounding dermal collagen fibers and tissues. It also utilizes a vacuum and massage rollers to tighten the skin by stimulating the regeneration of new collagen.
What is Cellulite, Anyway?
Cellulite happens when fatty deposits push against connective tissue under your skin. This creates an uneven surface, that infamous orange peel texture. While totally harmless, cellulite can be frustrating because it can linger even after shedding pounds.
What Causes Cellulite?
Blame it on biology! Women naturally have a different fat distribution than men. Our connective tissue is also arranged in a way that allows fat to push through more easily, creating that dimpled look.
The exact culprit behind cellulite is a bit of a mystery, but there are some key suspects genetic ,diet and lifestyle.
Which areas can be treated?
Cellulite treatment areas could be on the neck (i.e. under the chin), arms, thighs, buttocks, flank and abdomen.
Is the treatment right for me?
It is not a weight loss treatment. It uses a combination of technologies to contour your body, reducing the trouble spots that diet and exercise can’t reach. The ideal patient is someone with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of less than 30, who falls under The Nurnberger -Muller Cellulite Classification Stage 1 and 2.
The Nurnberger-Muller Cellulite Classification Scale
Stage 1
NO dimpling while the patient is standing or lying down, but the pinch test reveals the "orange peel" appearance.
Stage 2
"Orange peel" dimpling appears spontaneously when standing up, but NOT when lying down.
Stage 3
"Orange peel" dimpling appears spontaneously both when standing up AND lying down.
