New cellulite treatments

By Dr. Philip S. Czekaj, WOAI.com Skin & Beauty Expert
Cellulite is the end result of a process which begins when the fat cell clusters located in the hypodermis become enlarged. As fat cells enlarge, they gradually apply pressure on the circulatory system causing the connective tissue to contract which pulls the skin down. The result of this push/pull effect is what leads to cellulite.

Acoustic Wave Therapy
Getting rid of cellulite just got easier with the help of Acoustic Wave Therapy. AWT eliminates the use of needles which in turn will not cause pain or bruising. This new technology from Switzerland uses pressure waves that pass through the skin and fat to impact the fibrous septae. The pressure breaks up the collagen of the septae and releases the skin resulting in much smoother skin. This revolutionary cellulite procedure consists of 6 treatments over a 3 week span with amazing results.

Endermology
Endermology is a specialized technique developed in France for the treatment in cellulite. This procedure is performed with a negative pressure message which kneads tissue in order to improve blood flow. For optimal results procedures should occur 2/3 times a week for up to 10 weeks.

Lipo-Dissolve
Lipo-dissolve involves injecting a natural enzyme, Phosphatidylcholine, into deeper areas of reserved fat. This treatment is a safe, non-surgical alternative to Liposuction.
MesotherapyMesotherapy involves small amounts of medication and homeopathic agents immediately beneath the surface of the skin to break down cellulite. This treatment stimulates the circulation in the mesoderm, which in turn breaks down the cellulite.
