Cellulite Removal Treatments

It is estimated that 80% of all women over the age of 20 have cellulite. This unsightly problem affects women of all ages, body types & ethnic backgrounds. A number of creams & over-the-counter treatments are available, but few have offered any real solutions.

The number of cosmetic treatments offered by medical professionals has increased over the past few years. Some treatment options are relatively new and the long term results are still unproven. However, many have shown promise. Here is a brief rundown of the options commonly used by today's medical professionals.

Mesotherapy involves injecting microscopic quantities of natural plant extracts, homeopathic agents, pharmaceutical agents and vitamins directly into the problem areas. Mesotherapy can target specific areas or spots where your body stores excessive fat. It is a quick procedure that required little to no recovery time.

Endermologie is also a common technique used to combat cellulite. It involves a specially designed device that promotes deep, penetrating whole body massage with the use of suction and rollers to stimulate the breakdown of stored fat and increase the body's circulation.
Newer treatments involving lasers & radio frequency are becoming more widely used.

The TriActive LaserDermology machine utilizes a low-energy laser to combat cellulite. Velasmooth uses Bi-Polar Radio Frequency and Infrared Light in combination with suction to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
As you can see, the treatments available to combat cellulite are increasing. It is advised that you consult your local cosmetic specialist to find out more info.
