How does Cellulite Treatments improve the appearance of cellulite?
Cellulite treatments combine gentle light energies and radio frequencies with mechanical
rollers and vacuum suction to manipulate the superficial fat tissue layer that contributes
to cellulite. The heat from the light energies and radio frequencies increases metabolism
of this fatty layer and shrinks the size of fat cells. The mechanical rollers and vacuum
suction act on the blood vessels to increase circulation to the local area, as well
as massaging the skin to achieve a smoother, less bumpy surface appearance.
What happens during the treatment?
Your technician will pass the hand piece over the area with the cellulite.
You will feel the massaging action of the suction and warmth of the radio
frequencies penetrating the fat layer in your skin.
Does the treatment hurt?
Cellulite treatments may feel like a warm, deep-tissue massage. Some patients
report a mild tingling and a slight pinching sensation. On occasion, mild bruising can
occur. The treatment settings are tailored to each patient according to skin type,
individual sensitivity and gradually increased as tolerated.
Is there any down-time?
No. Cellulite Treatments require no sedation. The treated area may appear
flushed or pink for a short while, and may feel warm for several hours after treatment.
You can resume normal activities immediately.
