Fat deposits and cellulite: (a) before, and (b) after the treatment

Cellulite is a dermo-panniculopathy which is found in 95% of women.

The trigger factors of cellulite are many and varied; genetic inheritance, hormonal problems, habits of an unhealthy life-style (too much alcohol and tobacco), being sedentary, stress, ill fitting clothes, etc...

In the majority of cases these factors favour the development of disorder in the dermis and hypodermis, causing:

· An accumulation of fat in the adipocytes (fat cells). While the adipocytes get fatter, the layer surrounding them becomes deformed and produces changes in the uniformity of the skin.

· Stagnation in the blood circulation (which is why metabolic waste products accumulate), nutritional impoverishment, and congestion of joining tissue, which loses its elasticity and becomes fibrous.

This whole process results finally in what is known as 'orange peel skin'.

When this stage has been reached, the cellulite areas are resistant to physical exercise and the most drastic of diets.

To eliminate cellulite, the blood circulation must be reactivated with manual and mechanical massage which are done with equipment such as monopolar radiofrequency and LPG Endermologie.


Radiofrequency for the body

The is the most effective treatment for flaccidity in the body, whether it be the abdomen, legs, or arms.

It's a technique which uses waves of radiofrequency (high frequency energy) to raise the temperature of the dermis, resulting in the immediate tightening of the deep cutaneous fibre, without effecting the epidermis. It also activates the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the deepest layers of the skin. The laser thermometer permits control of the heat produced in each stage of the treatment.

It is also used in the treatment of circulatory disorders, obesity, and cellulite.
It's very effective in reducing the body volume, oedema (accumulation of liquids), and adipose tissue (fat). It also improves elasticity and the appearance of orange peel skin.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

How long does each session last?
Between 30 and 40 minutes.

How many sessions are necessary?
Approximately 4 sessions, with an interval of between 3 and 4 weeks between each session.

Are there any side-effects?
No, there are no side-effects. The patient may return to their normal life immediately.

Are there contraindications?
No, there are none.

 

Endermologie  (LPG)  

 

This is a technique that causes smoothing of the skin, a reduction in orange peel skin, a decrease in size, and improved definition of the figure.

It's also a painless process, which brings about a sensation of well-being and relaxation.
The idea is to re-establish certain natural functions of the organism and the skin.
It's a personalised treatment, adapted to the skin of each patient, which works on cellulite, and the quality and appearance of the skin.
It produces a light aspiration of the tissue, which moves through the body along the lymphatic drainage network and muscular tension.
This cutaneous gymnastics allows a restructuring of the adjoining tissue, and the reactivating of the blood and lymphatic circulation, which favours the elimination of metabolic waste.

The process diminishes the retention of liquids, size, and it moulds the body, inducing lypolysis in the deepest levels of the fat.

On the epidermic level, an exfoliation is carried out, which eliminates the dead cells, and returns the skin its natural glow.

The results can be noted by taking measurements and photos before and after the treatment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

How long does the treatment last?
The sessions last approximately 35 minutes, and can be carried out weekly.

Can it be combined with a weight-loss regime?
Yes, if it's combined with a weight-loss regime, the results are optimised, thanks to the mechanic action on the deep levels of fat affected by cellulite. It stimulates the elimination functions of the organism, and also tones the skin.

Are there any contraindications?
Generally no, but it's important that a medical professional evaluates the vascular state of the patient.
