What Is Cellulite? |
 |
The term cellulite describes a pitting, bulging, and deformation of the skin caused by the over-inflation of fat cells through loosened fibrous bands in affected skin. Cellulite occurs in over 85% of women and usually appears on the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, calves, and arms. Genetics, age and weight gain all contribute to cellulite development. Over the years different techniques have been used to try to improve cellulite. These have included a variety of creams and lotions that promise a reduction in the appearance of cellulite, but generally have led to less than satisfactory results. Mesotherapy has increasingly been used for cellulite. This technique, if performed correctly, is safe and may be effective in some individuals. Newer methods, involving the use of lasers and laser-like technologies represent non-invasive non-surgical methods of reducing cellulite and re-contouring the body to look smoother and firmer. Newer research has suggested that focused ultrasound may also improve cellulite reduction. |

| What Happens During
Laser And Laser-like Cellulite Treatment? |
During the procedure, the targeted cellulite fat cells are heated below the surface of the skin. This heat promotes better circulation to the local area, which may allow for more oxygen exchange for increased fat cell metabolism. This approach both mobilizes fat while at the same time stimulating the formation of new collagen. Ultimately, the procedure leads to tightening of unwanted cellulite skin. |

What Will The Treatments Feel Like? |
| |
During the treatment you will feel a deep, soothing heat in the targeted area. The treatment can be compared to the feeling of the sensation of finishing an intense workout. |

Are There Any Other Benefits Of
Having The Treatment? |
| |
Improved circulation, a decrease in muscle aches and pains and overall better health are some of the possible treatment benefits. Skin tightening, or firming of looser skin, may also be seen. Although cellulite treatment is not a weight loss tool, patients may look and feel as though they have lost weight because their bodies are better contoured. |

How Long Will The Procedures Take? |
| |
A series of treatments over several months is ideally required. In order to maintain improvement, follow up treatments may be necessary. |
