Cellulite Treatment

Body

Cellulite is a term for the formation of lumps and dimples in the skin. Common names for cellulite are orange-peel skin, cottage-cheese skin, hail damage, and the mattress phenomenon. Cellulite can affect both men and women, but it is more common in females, due to the different distributions of fat, muscle, and connective tissue. Between 80 and 90 percent of women may experience cellulite at some point in their lives.

Cellulite Treatments & Causes

What are the causes of cellulite?

The exact cause of cellulite is unknown, but it appears to result from an interaction between the connective tissue in the dermatological layer that lies below the surface of the skin, and the layer of fat that is just below it. In women, the fat cells and connective tissue in this layer are arranged vertically.

If the fat cells protrude into the layer of skin, this gives the appearance of cellulite.

In men, the tissue has a criss-cross structure, which may explain why are less likely to have cellulite than women.

What treatments are available?

Treatments for cellulite remain largely unsuccessful because they only target the appearance of cellulite. Cellulite shows itself as dimpling on the surface of the skin which is sometimes referred to as looking like “orange peel”. It is caused by alterations to fat cells in the subcutaneous fat layer of the skin. As these alterations happen below the surface of the skin, it soon became obvious that to reduce these bumps and ripples would require a deep acting treatment.

Endermologie was the world’s first patented technology to fight cellulite, and was the first cellulite treatment that has been approved by the American Food and Drug Administration. It is a completely non-invasive and non-surgical is now used all over the world by clinics like us offer this effective treatment in Knightsbridge as well as by plastic and cosmetic surgeons.

Endermologie treats the cutaneous and subcutaneous connective tissue. It targets cellulite by acting on the hypodermic connective tissue, and promotes elimination of the toxins which are present in the affected area. It stimulates cellular exchanges as well as mobilising the 'connective gel' in order to restore its smoothness and fight the 'orange peel' appearance of the skin.

It reduces water retention by boosting the lymphatic and venous systems. The roller stimulation also provokes the body to produce collagen, ultimately tightening up the skin and making you look younger. At the epidermic level, Endermologie performs an exfoliation and so eliminates dead skin cells, restoring the skin’s natural radiance.

This is an effective and risk-free treatment for controlling cellulite and reshaping of the body. The results are undeniable. Treatment sessions are usually recommended twice weekly and last for approximately 35 minutes. A course of twelve is recommended.
