What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is the dimpled appearance of the skin mainly seen
around the thighs, buttocks and abdomen mostly where fat
deposits are found in close proximity to the skin. Skin is
connected to underlying muscle by VERTICAL strands of
tissue. This connective tissue looses it’s elasticity as we
age and the enlarged fat cells in the subcutaneous layer
pushes upward creating the dimpled appearance. Circulation
may be impaired as a result. Cellulite occurs in about 80%
of the adult female population.
There are many causes of cellulite including diet, lack of
exercise, genetic predisposition and inevitable lifetime
hormonal changes. Weight loss and exercise does not
necessarily improve the appearance of cellulite and even
slender people have cellulite.
How does this process work?
The
Dermosonic® method is done in a two stage process. The
first stage uses ultrasonic waves to penetrate beneath the
skin creating fibrosis breakage, stimulating blood
circulation and literally softening fat deposits. This
first stage greatly enhances the second stage of the
Dermosonic® method which uses vibratory and suction
techniques – negative upward pressure - which enhances the
dispersion of fat deposits, elongation of connective tissue
and the promotion of lymphatic drainage. This treatment
takes about 90 minutes and many clients experience visible
results after only one treatment. Studies have shown marked
improvement in measurements taken after a series of
treatments.
Does the treatment hurt?
No. Dermosonic® does not pinch, roll or bruise the skin so
the process feels good, much like a massage.
How often will I need to do this treatment?
Depending on the degree of cellulite, 1 – 12 sessions may
be needed. Simple Radiance offers package pricing and free
consultations to help determine a treatment course for each
person’s specific needs.
Can cellulite be cured?
This is no cure for cellulite. Liposuction suctions out the
deeper layers of fat but does not affect the subcutaneous
fat layer where the cellulite is. The Dermosonic® method
best targets this subcutaneous layer by breaking down the
fibrosis connective tissue, dispersing fat tissue and
promoting lymphatic drainage, creating a firmer, smoother
and more toned look to the skin.
