Why consider cellulite treatments?

Cellulite occurs when clusters of hypodermic fat push through the connective tissue beneath the skin, often resulting in a dimpled appearance commonly described as looking like orange peel or cottage cheese. Several factors contribute to the development of cellulite, including hormonal imbalances, lack of exercise, and unhealthy eating habits. It can appear on various parts of the body, including the legs, buttocks, arms, and stomach, affecting both women and men.

What is Cellulite Treatment?

Our cellulite treatment is a comprehensive approach that combines effective techniques to help reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve skin texture. The key components for cellulite treatment include:

  • Carboxy Therapy: This involves the injection of carbon dioxide gas into the targeted areas. It helps improve blood flow, enhance oxygenation, and stimulate collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother skin.
  • Radio Frequency (RF) Therapy: RF therapy uses energy waves to heat the skin’s deeper layers, promoting collagen remodeling and skin tightening. This helps to reduce the dimpled appearance of cellulite while improving overall skin texture.

Together, these treatments work synergistically to break down fat deposits, boost circulation, and promote healthy skin, giving you smoother and more toned-looking skin.

Whether you’re looking to enhance your confidence or simply improve your skin’s appearance, our cellulite treatments can help you achieve your goals.

How does the carboxy treatment work for cellulite?

In carboxy treatment for cellulite, carbon dioxide (CO2) is introduced beneath the skin and is combined with manual massage to evenly distribute the gas and enhance circulation within the tissues. When CO2 comes into contact with fat cells, it triggers a metabolic reaction that can aid in fat burning.

The vasodilatory effect of CO2 expands small blood vessels surrounding the fat cells, increasing oxygen and blood flow to the area. This helps to eliminate fluid buildup and toxins, promoting lymphatic drainage. Additionally, the treatment stimulates collagen production, improving the elasticity of deeper skin layers.

As a result, the upper layers of the skin rejuvenate, helping to reduce the tight, dimpled appearance commonly associated with cellulite, often described as the cottage cheese or orange peel texture.

You may notice immediate improvements in your skin’s appearance, with a smoother texture right after the initial treatments. As blood circulation improves and the natural fat-burning process continues, the treated area will gradually become firmer and show a reduced circumference. To maintain your results, multiple treatment sessions and touch-up maintenance sessions every six months are recommended.

 

How does Radio frequency treatment work for cellulite?

Radio Frequency (RF) therapy uses controlled heating to target the deeper layers of the skin, effectively addressing cellulite. This innovative cellulite treatment offers several key benefits:

  • Apoptosis of Fat Cells: The controlled heat generated by RF causes the targeted fat cells to undergo apoptosis, a natural process of cell death. This helps to reduce the overall number of fat cells in the treated area, leading to a smoother appearance.
  • Collagen and Elastin Remodelling: RF therapy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that play a crucial role in skin structure and elasticity. As these proteins remodel, the skin becomes tighter and firmer, reducing the dimpled look associated with cellulite.
  • Increased Skin Elasticity: The heating effect of RF promotes blood circulation, which enhances oxygen delivery and nutrient supply to the skin. This increased circulation not only improves overall skin health but also boosts elasticity, making the skin more resilient and youthful-looking.

Overall, Radio frequency for cellulite treatment is a non-invasive and effective option for achieving smoother, tighter skin. It not only targets fat reduction but also enhances skin texture and elasticity, making it a popular choice for those seeking to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

 

How many follow-up treatments do we recommend?

We generally recommend starting with 6-10 treatments spaced one week apart will achieve the best results, depending on the area and your specific needs. Our experienced somatologists will go over your treatment plan, including the recommended number of sessions and ideal timing, to help you achieve the best results.
