Cellulite describes a condition that occurs mainly in women (up to 90%), although it may occur in men as well, it is typically seen on the skin surface of the lower limbs, more frequently the thighs, hips and buttocks, but also abdomen and pelvic region becomes dimpled after puberty, due to fat accumulation in the subcutaneous tissue. It is known casually as “cottage cheese” or “orange peel” skin. It is not specific to overweight women although increased fatty tissue load may aggravate the condition.

There is no way to prevent the development of cellulite, however maintaining a healthy life style such as regular sport activity, maintaining a balanced nutrition and keeping a high hydration level at all times will help to ameliorate the existing cellulite appearance.

CelluSkinis a professional system specially designed for cellulite and body shaping treatments based on Lipotripsy. CelluSkin treatments can be performed on the cellulite affected areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, or buttocks.

The treatment generates an instant reaction of a butterfly-like effect. The body responds to the acoustic radial wave by increasing metabolic activity around the site of the treated area. The tissue drainage becomes more effective so the fluids and the toxins retained within the fat cells are being released and drained by the lymphatic system.

The pressure wave through deep massage reduces the tissue oedema which is one of the initial phenomena of the Cellulite. Reduction of oedema causes less puffiness of the skin. In addition, due to the oedema, there is an elevation of toxins in the skin tissue which induces degeneration of collagen fibers that hold the fatty chambers. By reducing the toxins, through reduction of oedema, there is less damage to the collagen fibers, thus, less degeneration and tighter holding of the skin.

• Gradual smoothening of skin’s surface with a noticeable reduction in cellulite
• Increased firmness and lifting of the skin

Yes, the treatment is safe and there are no reported side effects. Being unfocused, the amount of wave energy decreases proportional to the penetration depth, so no harm is being induced to any internal organ.

There is no reason to refrain from treating a patient with cellulite due to the existence of a pacemaker. The electromagnetic effect on the pacemaker does not damage its function, but rather the theoretical direct mechanical insult to the pacemaker or its electrodes, should the CelluSkin hit directly on it. Therefore it’s important to keep away from the pacemaker and electrode and to know in advance their exact location in order to keep things safe.

The recommended protocol is twice a week for six weeks and one maintenance treatment each; three months thereafter. The CelluSkin treatments are comfortable and relaxing, with each treatment lasting approximately 20 minutes. Once the treatment is over, the patient can return to normal activities without delay.

After the patient initial evaluation, the professional caregiver should provide with patient with realistic expectations of the treatment, according to the cellulite level at the starting point, Body Mass Index (bmi) and general skin condition. Although individual results may differ, within six weeks most treated patients will observe a significant improvement of cellulite condition, the skin elasticity and firmness. At 3- and 6- month follow-ups, the skin elasticity will be completely restored.
