Cellulite is a skin condition which afflicts many women today, and while very few treatments have any influence on its effects. You know what it looks like: dimpled, uneven skin that appears on your thighs and other parts of your body. If you are one of the many women who are afflicted with cellulite, and you desire to reduce its effects, then schedule a consult with us to discuss your options.
Cellulite affects the vast majority of women, usually after puberty. Many believe cellulite to be a fat problem that can be eliminated through diet and exercise. But as you may have learned through experience, you can lessen the appearance of cellulite by losing weight, but you can’t get rid of it completely. And crash diets can actually make it worse.
It’s not your fault. Fat isn’t the problem. It’s a structural issue below the skin that only your physician can treat. That’s why men typically don’t get cellulite. The structure of their skin is different from women’s. This also explains why even very thin women can get cellulite, and why some heavier women don’t.
There are three structural problems that cause the appearance of cellulite. First, the connective tissue bands beneath your skin surrounding fat cells can become tight and inflexible. Second, enlarged pockets of fat trapped by the rigid bands push up against skin. Finally, thin skin makes the appearance of cellulite even worse. Other factors associated with cellulite are aging, heredity, hormones, weight and gender differences in skin architecture. That’s why any effective cellulite treatment has to address more than fat and the surface of skin.
Cellulaze from Cynosure, is the only treatment that attacks the structural problems beneath the skin that cause cellulite. A minimally invasive laser-assisted procedure, Cellulaze is a new anti-cellulite treatment proven to increase your skin’s natural depth for a smoother, healthier look that lasts. All from just one simple anti-cellulite treatment.
A very small cannula (or tube about the size of the tip of a pen) is inserted under the skin. Cynosure’s unique SideLight laser fiber inside the tube delivers energy directly under the skin. This increases the depth and quality of your skin, while simultaneously releasing the fibrous bands that pull it down. Finally, the cellulite laser is used to diminish the lumpy pockets of fat that protrude though the fibrous bands under your skin.
