after 1 CelluErase treatment
Cellulite is the dimpled skin and nodularity often found on the hips, thighs and buttocks usually described as having an ‘orange peel’ or ‘cottage cheese’ appearance. It is far more common in females than males due to the differences in fat distribution and affects 85-98% of women. There are many causes including sex, age, race, hormones, genetic factors, lifestyle, diet, exercise and stress.
Although cellulite is considered to be normal, many people find it undesirable.
CELLULITE GRADES
Grade 1 is mild. Orange peel appearance with between 1 and 4 superficial depressions and a slightly draped or sagging appearance of the skin.
Grade 2 is moderate. Usually between 5 and 9 medium-depth depressions, a dimply appearance and the skin appears moderately draped.
Grade 3 is severe. Usually a mattress appearance with 10 or more deep depressions and the skin is severely draped.
The depressions are caused by bands of fibrous connective tissue attached to the skin. Fat in the deeper layers under the skin is always enclosed in little compartments wrapped up by a thin sheath of connective tissue forming ‘fat parcels’.
Connective tissue is made of a network of collagen, elastin and other proteins. These fat pouches are literally suspended by collagen strands that attach to them. The surface of the skin is tethered directly to the superficial fascia below by longer and thicker collagen strands, these collagen strands are most responsible for the mattress cellulite appearance.
Celluerase involves breaking and releasing the fibres with a special microblade. The bands of fibrous connective tissue are separated by subcision allowing the skin to spring back resulting in a smoother appearance.
The results are immediate and once a specific depression is treated it should not need further treatment. Usually around 10 depressions can be treated in one session. the treatment areas are
