What Is Cellulite?
Cellulite is a dimpled appearance on the surface of the skin. It may look like cottage cheese or the peel of an orange. It is caused by excess fat pushing up against connective tissue, causing the skin to bulge and dimple.
While cellulite is most common on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen, it can occasionally be found in other locations. It is also more prevalent among women than men with more than 80% noticing some degree of cellulite. A variety of factors can contribute to cellulite, such as hormones, poor circulation, and lifestyle, but genetics can be one of the main factors.
What Causes Cellulite?
Cellulite forms when fibrous bands under the skin are tight and pull downward on the surface of the skin. Beneath the surface, fat cells expand and press against the skin, while the connective tissue remains tethered. This combination of tension and compression creates the uneven texture known as cellulite. Certain skin characteristics like thinner skin can make these irregularities more noticeable. In men, connective tissue has a cross-cross pattern which makes it less likely to dimple in the same way.
How We Can Treat Cellulite
Effective cellulite removal addresses its underlying causes. By tightening and thickening the skin, we can minimize the appearance of dimples and create a smoother surface. Treatments can also improve circulation which helps support healthy skin and connective tissue. Encouraging collagen production is another important step since it can help reinforce the skin’s structure and reduce the visibility of cellulite over time.
Our Cellulite Treatment Options
If creams and workout routines have been ineffective at reducing your cellulite, we have other cellulite treatment options that may be able to help. Our treatments can penetrate deep into the skin and connective tissues to improve the appearance of cellulite.
Venus Freeze™
Venus Freeze is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses radiofrequency and magnetic pulses for cellulite reduction. During treatment, a handheld device is placed on the skin and radiofrequency waves and magnetic pulses penetrate into the underlying tissues, heating them. This heat causes collagen fibers to contract and promotes the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin can become more elastic and thick, making cellulite less noticeable.
This treatment also helps fat cells to shrink and promotes increased circulation, helping stubborn fat to move more easily from the area. Together, this can result in smoother, firmer skin along with a reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
Why Choose This Treatment?
Venus Freeze is less invasive and more comfortable than alternative options. It does not require any incisions and is not a painful method of cellulite reduction. This treatment can also be beneficial for the overall health and texture of the skin and can help improve signs of aging in the treatment area like wrinkles and sagging skin. The fat remodeling from the heat energy can also provide contouring for the treatment area and give you comprehensive benefits.
What To Expect During Your Venus Freeze Treatment
The session begins with the application of a gel that helps keep the skin cool, improves energy transfer, and makes the device move more smoothly against the skin. Once the skin is prepared, we will move the device in circular motions across the treatment area where it will deliver the heat and magnetic pulses. You will feel a warming sensation as the tissues respond to the energy. Most sessions last around 30 minutes, depending on how many areas we are treating. There is no downtime after treatment so you can return to your day right afterward.
Venus Versa™ OctiPolar™
The Venus Versa OctiPolar also uses radiofrequency energy and pulsed electromagnetic fields to get rid of cellulite. This device can treat a larger area of cellulite because of the design of the handpiece. During this cellulite treatment, the radiofrequency energy helps your body produce more collagen and elastin fibers while the electromagnetic fields increase blood flow to the area. The treatment can result in smoother and firmer skin with a reduced appearance of cellulite.
Why Choose This Treatment?
The Venus Versa OctiPolar provides efficient and effective treatment for cellulite for larger areas of concern. Its unique handpiece ensures consistent energy delivery, helping to improve skin texture while minimizing the treatment time. The combination of radiofrequency energy and electromagnetic fields targets both skin quality and circulation, addressing multiple factors that contribute to cellulite at the same time.
What To Expect During Your Venus Versa OctiPolar Treatment
We’ll start by prepping the area to make sure you’re comfortable and ready for the treatment. The OctiPolar handpiece will be gently moved over your skin, delivering a combination of warming radiofrequency energy and electromagnetic fields. Most patients describe the sensation as relaxing and warm, almost like a hot stone massage. Sessions usually last about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area. With this treatment, you can also get right back to your routine.
Why Our Cellulite Treatments?
Non-Invasive
Our cellulite treatments are a non-invasive way to achieve body contouring. You can gain several different body contouring benefits from the treatment such as:
- Cellulite Reduction: Venus Freeze, Venus Versa, and similar treatments are a non-invasive way to smooth away cellulite by improving skin texture and thickness.
- Fat Reduction: In addition to cellulite reduction, these body contouring treatments can also help melt fat, reducing the circumference of areas such as your midsection or thighs.
- Skin Tightening: When treated with Venus Versa or Venus Freeze, skin can tighten and gain a more youthful appearance.
Fast and Painless
Venus Freeze and Venus Versa OctiPolar treatments are both fast and painless treatments. During these cellulite treatments, you may experience a warmth on your skin that may feel similar to a hot stone massage. Because the handheld device incorporates cooling technology, your skin will remain comfortable and unharmed during the treatment.
Increases Lymphatic Drainage
Radiofrequency technology and magnetic pulses can increase blood flow and stimulate the lymphatic system. This can help your body to remove toxins and waste. Because a buildup of these toxins can lead to swelling and inflammation, increased lymphatic drainage can lead to cellulite removal and other benefits.
Stimulates More Collagen and Elastin
In addition to being an anti-cellulite treatment, the production of collagen and elastin can lead to other benefits for the skin including anti-aging and skin-tightening.
Long-Lasting Results
As a cellulite reduction treatment, both Venus Freeze and Venus Versa can have long-lasting results. However, several treatments may be needed to achieve the best results.
Before and After Care Tips for Cellulite Reduction
Before Your Treatment
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your session can help your body respond more effectively to the treatment. Hydration supports your skin’s elasticity and overall health.
- Avoid Heavy Lotions or Creams: On the day of your appointment, skip applying any heavy products to the treatment area. Clean, dry skin allows the device to work more effectively.
- Dress Comfortably: Wear loose-fitting clothing to make it easier to access the areas being treated.
- Discuss Medications: Let us know if you’re taking any medications or supplements that may affect your skin’s sensitivity or healing process.
After Your Treatment
- Keep Up with Hydration: Continue drinking water after your treatment. This can help flush out toxins and support circulation, which are important for the results.
- Gentle Care for Your Skin: The treated area may feel warm or appear slightly pink. Avoid harsh scrubs or exfoliants for a day or two, and opt for gentle cleansing and moisturizing instead.
- Avoid Heat Exposure: Refrain from hot baths, saunas, or intense workouts for 24 hours after your session to avoid skin irritation.
- Maintain Consistency: Follow the treatment schedule we recommend for you. Cellulite reduction often requires a series of sessions to get the results you want.
- Healthy Habits: Incorporating regular physical activity and a balanced diet can enhance the benefits of the treatment by improving skin tone and circulation.
