It is true that most women will have Cellulite at some point in their lives. In fact, Cellulite plagues more than 80% of the adult female population. Cellulite reduction and body contouring sessions are projected to be a massive $3-5 billion dollar market with over 9 million procedures performed annually.
But what causes Cellulite? There are many causes for Cellulite including diet, lack of exercise, genetic predisposition, and inevitable lifetime hormone changes. These factors cause the fat cells in the subcutaneous fat layer to enlarge and stick together inside the pockets in which they are enclosed. The pockets are stretched upward while the fibers between the pockets are strained. Circulation may be inhibited, and toxins and water can be trapped. The result is .. CELLULITE !!!
Over the years, women and professionals have tried different ways to eliminate Cellulite, from weight loss and exercise to creams and invasive surgical treatments. Some of them are expensive and create pain and discomfort with not always satisfactory results. The truth is that there is no proven method that will help to get rid off of the Cellulite. All treatments and techniques focus on reducing the appearance of Cellulite, improving the condition of the skin and the well being of the client since some life changes will be required to achieve and maintain the results. These will include less fat, sugar and carbohydrates in the diet which should be enriched with more vegetables, fruits and lot’s of water. An active physical life will also contribute to the improvement.
In our practice, we use The Dermosonic machine which is a patented technology to effectively reduce the appearance of Cellulite, increase circulation and relieve minor muscle aches. Dermosonic embraces the physical and aesthetic needs of the whole body using a patent technique that has been proven safe and effective.
The Dermosonic method consists of two steps:
In step one, external ultrasound is applied to the target area to gently warm the underlying layer of the epidermis and dermis preparing the tissue for the benefits of the NIST. In step two, Dermosonic utiizes NIST – a vacuum therapy form of lymphatic drainage massage. Using a vacuum hand piece, the Non-Invasive Subdermal Therapy (NIST) mobilizes the warmed connective tissue and drains and flushes out the toxins trapped under the skin. This method helps to a better contouring of the body, increase blood circulation and bring oxygen to the tissues.
The treatment is painless and many clients describe it feeling like a pleasant massage. Clients are required to drink a lot of water before and after each treatment to assist the body in flushing out the fat and the toxins. Treatment usually lasts 50-60 minutes and priced individually or by package for great savings. Results can be seen in the first two or three sessions and research shows that 87% of clients will have 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches reduction in the treatment area in the first session. Usually, depending the type of the Cellulite, ten to twelve sessions are recommended at a rate of two per week. In order to maintain results, one session per month is usually recommended.
