Cellulite
Cellulite
Cellulite is a term used to describe areas of the body where there is visible accumulation of fat that has a dimpled or textured look akin to orange peel. It is a predominantly female problem and starts to show at puberty upwards. Even slim women can be affected by it. It is most often found around the thighs, buttocks, upper arms and abdomen.
Causes
There are many causes for cellulite:
- excess/surge of estrogen especially at puberty or older, which can lead to fat accumulation and water retention.
- poor circulation that leads to accumulation of lymphatics and toxins
- anatomical characteristics of connective tissue partitioning of adipose tissue in women that gives rise to the dimpled look when fat gets compressed against the skin
- loss of skin elasticity and support making the bulges of fat deposits more obvious
Prevention and Treatment
This is a very difficult problem to eliminate but having a fit, active and healthy lifestyle always helps.
At Hush we approach this problem with :
-Manual subcision
This helps to sever the connective tissue tethering of adipose tissue which caused the dimpling, done under local anesthetic
-Radiofrequency tightening
tightening and remodelling of fat cells with Bipolar/Unipolar Radiofrequency device allows for continuous energy delivery in sub dermal layers destroys fat cells and stimulate collagen
-High Intensity Focused Ultra-Sound device
offers a non-invasive approach to improve cellulite.The treatment simultaneously allows for the tightening of the skin structure and stimulate the production of new collagen. Visible improvements to the skin surface and remodeling are observed as the body follows its normal cycle of collagen regeneration.
In most cases, only one session is required to observe result
