Cellulite forms just below the surface of the skin in the thighs and buttocks region, where areas of fat collect and force themselves against the tissue creating a puckered look to the surface of the skin. Health experts have been trying to discover the cause for some time as it is not a condition that affects every woman but they believe it does have some connection to the way the fat cells are made and possibly how toxins enter and are stored within the body.
There are various procedures used to remove of cellulite. Liposuction is a surgical procedure intended to remove fat deposits and shape the body. Fat is removed from under the skin with the use of a vacuum-suction canula (a hollow pen-like instrument) or using an ultrasonic probe that emulsifies (breaks up into small pieces) the fat and then removes it with suction. People with localized fat may decide to have liposuction to remove fat from just one specific area.
Liposuction is a procedure for shaping the body and is not recommended for weight loss. Liposuction may be performed on the abdomen, hips, thighs, calves, arms, buttocks, back, neck, or face. A liposuction procedure may include more than one site, for instance, the abdomen, back and thighs –all on the same day.
Mesotherapy is the latest treatment for cellulite removal these days because of its fast results and also non invasive procedure. Unlike Liposuction, with Mesotherapy a cellulite affected body area is injected with a special serum that dissolves the fat cells which gets flushed out of the body system. The key ingredient in the serum is a substanced called phosphatidylcholine which is a natural occuring substanced found in all living tissues.
Another new cellulite removal technique is called Vela smooth. This medical cellulite solution uses bi-polar radio frequency and infrared light to mobilize tissue and safely and effectively re-contours the skin surface. It’s painless, easy and there’s no post-treatment downtime. Treatments are usually performed twice weekly. It usually takes about 30-60 minutes to perform cellulite removal. Time requirements for endermologie and mesotherapy canvary depend on the number of areas treated and the size of each area.
