Cellulite. What is it?
Cellulite appears as uneven, lumpy 'orange peel' deposits
deep in the tissue. Cellulite consists of fatty deposits
which are caught in the body's fibrous connective tissue
(often in the back of the thighs or buttocks). This
'trapped, disorganised fat' is extremely difficult to remove
and is often resistant to diet and exercise. It is far more
prevalent in women and appears to have a hormonal
association.
Cellulite affects over 50% of Australian women. Furthermore,
you don’t have to be overweight to have cellulite.
There are numerous treatments claiming to treat cellulite,
including mesotherapy, deep tissue massage and endermology.
In most cases the results are ineffective.
How can the Accent™ RF System treat my cellulite?
With Skinformation Clinic's anti-cellulite treatments
you can now achieve a slimmer, trimmer figure, without the
'orange peel' texture.Using a combination of unipolar and
bipolar radio frequency the affected area is gently heated
to therapeutic temperature in the deep layers of the
tissues. The heating process leads to a softening of the
fibrous connective tissue. The increased blood and lymph
flow then effectively carries the fatty deposits and body
toxins safely away to be removed by our natural body
processes.
The end result is a contouring, smoothing and tightening of
the treated area.
What results
can I expect from my anti-cellulite treatments?
You can expect a more toned appearance of the treated area
with a general improvement in skin laxity. The appearance of
stretch marks may also be reduced.
Many patients also report that they are able to lose weight
more easily while undergoing their treatments. This is an
added benefit of the Accent™ RF System.
How many anti-cellulite treatments will I need?
Generally, 6 to 10 fortnightly treatments are recommended to
achieve optimal results. Some patients with highly
resistant, long term cellulite may require weekly
treatments.
Is there anything I should do to maximise the results of
my fat reduction and anti-cellulite treatments?
Yes! You MUST remain fully hydrated (before, during,
after and between treatments). Adequate hydration enhances
the effects of the treatment and helps to remove the fat and
toxins from the body. Unless you are properly hydrated you
may not achieve optimal results. 6 to 8 glasses of fluid per
day (not including coffee) is adequate.
It is also
advisable to follow a sensible balanced eating regime and
perform moderate exercise (aerobic and weight bearing) on a
regular basis. It is never advisable to crash diet. This
slows the metabolism and causes accumulation of toxins which
may worsen the cellulite.
