Cellulite forms just below the surface of the skin in the thighs and buttocks region, where areas of fat collect and force themselves against the tissue creating a puckered look to the surface of the skin. Health experts have been trying to discover the cause for some time as it is not a condition that affects every woman but they believe it does have some connection to the way the fat cells are made and possibly how toxins enter and are stored within the body.
One effective cellulite removal technique is called Liposuction where fat deposits is removed from under the skin. This surgical method removes fat with the use of a vacuum suction canula or by using an ultrasonic probe that breaks down the fat into small pieces before being sucked out. This method is very effective for localzied fat removal.
Liposuction is a fat removal procedure for women (and men) who are of generally normal weight but have isolated pockets of fat; it is most often used when other methods cannot treat it, from areas including the abdomen, bottom and thighs. An unwanted and peculiar side-effect is the fat that’s removed can sometimes reoccur; often ths occurs in a different area from where it was first removed.
Mesotherapy is the newest treatment for cellulite, and it actually works. Mesotherapy has long been an art in Europe and South America. Unlike liposuction that involves the removal of unwanted fat cells, mesotherapy involves small injections that result in the breakdown of fat cells. These injections include natural-occurring substances such as phosphatidylcholine that is present in all living tissues. When injected in fat and cellulite, the fat cells become inflamed and disrupted and their contents are carried away.
Another non invasive procedure that is pain and drug free for cellulite removal is called Vela smooth which uses bi-polar radio frequency and infrared light to mobilize tissue and effectively re-contours the skin surface. Treatments usually take around 30-60 minutes to perform and are usually done twice weekly. The number of areas treated and size of each area determines the duration of this cellulite removal technique.
