Cellulite Laser Treatments
Cellulite is caused from the tightening of fibrous bands called septae that drive the subcutaneous fat cells to the surfaces causing that orange peel or cottage cheese look. One new treatment, in the ever expanding therapies to find a permanent way of getting rid of cellulite, is laser treatments for cellulite and ultrasound tools. Ultrasound was first used as a non-invasive technique for bodily exams such as monitoring unborn babies. Later the power was turned up and aimed at kidney stones to crush them and avoid painful surgery. Now ultrasound is aimed as a fat removal system based on focused light energy below the skin surface. Heat up the fat cells, break the cell membranes and mechanically massage the area to speed up the natural drainage and elimination. Another type of cellulite laser treatment is radio frequency cellulite removal. In this technique the radio frequencies target body fat to eliminate the build-up. Radio frequency heats up the fat cells about 5 degrees. The supporting blood and lymphatic supply are stimulated; the cell membranes of the fat cells break and the fat is allegedly captured and carried off by the lymphatic system. In the light energy laser treatments for cellulite the exact nature of the how it works isn’t completely understood. It is a modified laser that features a low impact non-surgical removal and body shaping technique. Allegedly the fat cells absorb the energy emitted by the laser until the cell membranes breakdown. A new laser machine developed in Italy has made its way to the US – The DEKA – and reportedly is the ideal product to use in the laser treatment of cellulite. The DEKA machine uses a Tri-active technology where three different methods are applied and used separately. It uses six lasers which reportedly stimulate microcirculation, a localized cooling system and a rhythmical massage to stimulate lymphatic drainage. The company claims that the progressive stimulating and massaging action improves the biological means to eliminate cellulite and restore the connective tissue. Laser treatments for cellulite are also being investigated for use in conjunction with Endermologie. The laser softens the tissue before the Endermologie massage or prior to or after liposuction to improve the effects. Cellulite laser treatment holds great promise to women who are sick and tired of the cottage cheese look of their thighs and buttocks and once again want to hit the beach. In order to see optimum results several sessions are required – which can get pricey. Once you gain weight again or go back to an unhealthy lifestyle the cellulite returns. Cellulite laser treatment is a viable option for women who are interested in total removal of the cellulite fat cells in their buttocks, thighs, upper arms and stomach. Although it may require maintenance the results could be well worth it.
