Cellulite Treatment

What causes Cellulite?

Cellulite can be described as skin dimpling, cottage cheese or orange peel skin.  Cellulite is often associated with painful nodules in the dermal connective tissue.  Cellulite, known medically as Liposclerosis, affects 80 - 95% of post pubescent women.  Predisposing factors effecting cellulite are heredity and hormonal levels, circulatory health, nutritional and exercising habits.  Cellular edema is a result of microcirculation constriction in the capillary and lymphatic system, causing fluid accumulation and the loss of membrane permeability necessary for normal fluid movement in and out of the cells.  As the fat cells swells, the dermis and the epidermis, above the hypodermis push outwards, creating the dimpled appearance characteristic of cellulite.

How does treatment work?

DermaTherapie reduces the appearance of cellulite by combining three treatments elements to successfully reduce the appearance of cellulite over a series of treatments.

First, we apply an essential oil and seaweed extract cream that creates a thermogenic affect at the cellular level to increase metabolic activity and stimulate intercellular fluid release. Next, we gentle apply suction to open up lymphatic drainage nodules to receive the release of excess fluid from the fat cells.  Larger cellulite nodules can be stretched and released, alleviating pain.  The DermaTherapie "Easy-Glide" hand piece moves smoothly across the skin using gentle suction to pull the skin into a fold that stretches and revascularizes the connective tissue.  This treatment regimen releases excess intercellular fluid into the restored drainage system.

What are the benefits of treatment?

DermaTherapie stretches connective tissue and improves the vascular and lymphatic system helping to:

Reduce the appearance of cellulite Eliminate toxins Reshape the body Revascularizing connective tissue Drain and stimulate aching muscles to accelerate recuperation after exercise

What results will I see?

Treatment smoothes dimpling or "orange peel" skin.  It firms, tightens and tones skin while reshaping the body contour.

How many treatments are required and how long do results last?

Each session lasts 30-40 minutes and can be performed twice a week.  10 to 14 treatments are recommended.  Skin texture and color will show improvement after the first treatment.  By treatment 6 or 7, the cellulite and body shaping results start to become apparent.
