What
is Cellulite?
Cellulite is a condition in which the skin appears to have areas with underlying fat deposits, giving it a dimpled, lumpy appearance. It is most noticeable on the buttocks and thighs, and usually occurs after puberty. Cellulite is also known in the medical field and as orange peel syndrome, cottage cheese skin, hail damage, and the mattress phenomenon in colloquial language.
Although cellulite can affect both sexes,
it is much more common in females, mainly because they are more likely to have
particular types of fat and connective tissue. Continue...Cellulite is a condition in which the skin appears to have areas with underlying fat deposits, giving it a dimpled, lumpy appearance. It is most noticeable on the buttocks and thighs, and usually occurs after puberty. Cellulite is also known in the medical field and as orange peel syndrome, cottage cheese skin, hail damage, and the mattress phenomenon in colloquial language.
Cellulite is often classified using three
grades:
•Grade 1 cellulite sees no clinical
symptoms, but a microscopic examination of cells from the area detects
underlying anatomical changes.
•Grade 2 cellulite requires the skin to
show pallor (pastiness), be lower temperature, and have decreased elasticity,
in addition to anatomical changes noted by microscopic examinations.
•Grade 3 cellulite has visible roughness of
the skin (like an orange peel) along with all grade 2 signs.
What
causes Cellulite?
The causes of cellulite are not well
understood, but there are several theories that have been put forth as
explanations. Among these are:
•Hormonal factors - hormones likely play an
important role in cellulite development. Many believe oestrogen, insulin,
noradrenaline, thyroid hormones, and prolactin are part of the cellulite
production process.
•Genetics - certain genes are required for
cellulite development. Genes may predispose an individual to particular
characteristics associated with cellulite, such as gender, race, slow
metabolism, distribution of fat just underneath the skin, and circulatory
insufficiency.
•Diet - people who eat too much fat,
carbohydrates, or salt and too little fibre are likely to have greater amounts
of cellulite.
•Lifestyle factors - cellulite may be more
prevalent in smokers, those who do not exercise, and those who sit or stand in
one position for long periods of time.
•Clothing - underwear with tight elastic
across the buttocks (limiting blood flow) may contribute to the formation of
cellulite.
Can Cellulite
be cleared?
There are several therapies that have been
suggested to remove Cellulite, but we will be discussing Mesotherapy and Exilis
Treatment.
What
is Mesotherapy Treatment?
Mesotherapy treatment is a non-surgical
cosmetic solution aimed at diminishing problem areas in your body such as
cellulite, excess weight, body contouring, and face/neck rejuvenation, just to
name a few. It is administered via numerous injections containing various types
of FDA approved medicines, vitamins, and minerals.
Mesotherapy should only be performed by a
cosmetic dermatologist, a plastic surgeon or a licenced Physician.
Mesotherapy
treatment for Cellulite:
The Injections are introduced into the
mesoderm, the layer of fat and tissue underneath the skin. Mesotherapy, works
by improving the micro-circulation, dissolving and shrinking fat cells,
removing/improving fibrous connective tissue, and improving lymphatic drainage.
There are virtually no side effects with Mesotherapy,
aside from occasional slight bruising.
Exilis
Treatment for Cellulite:
Exilis is a radio-frequency device that is
a FDA approved.
The Exilis procedure is the latest addition
among the most effective cosmetic ways of reducing and eliminating excess and
unwanted cellulite. Exilis is a cellulite treatment that is FDA approved
technology and is primarily based on the medical marvels of radiofrequency or
RF energy’s capabilities in terms of body shaping and circumferential reduction
of targeted fatty deposits on the body.
•Exilis reaches therapeutic thermal
temperature rapidly
•Exilis delivers more energy over shorter
period of time
•System intelligence eliminates energy
peaks, preventing discomfort
•EFC helps reduce risk of skin burns
During the procedure, the Exilis
computer-controlled delivery device is guided over the treatment area. You will
feel a deep heating sensation as the Exilis RF energy is delivered to the
deeper layers of the skin. The therapy causes the collagen support tissues to
remodel and tighten. The underside of the applicator provides cooling to your
skin’s surface, and the built-in thermometer lets the operator maintain
constant temperatures keeping you more comfortable during the treatment.
