Cellulite
Cellulite is a very common, harmless skin condition that causes lumpy, dimpled flesh on the thighs, hips, buttocks, and abdomen. The condition is most prevalent in women. Many people try to improve the appearance of their skin through weight loss, and exercise, but it’s barely effective.
Causes
- As fat cells accumulate, they push up against the skin, while the long, tough cords pull down. This creates an uneven surface or dimpling.
- Hormonal factors play a large role in the development of cellulite
- Genetics determine skin structure, skin, and body texture.
- Other factors, such as weight and muscle tone affect whether you have cellulite, though even very fit people can have it.
Indications
- Uneven skin
- An “orange-peel” appearance
- Asymmetric shape of the body
Treatments
How does it work & Benefits
X-wave for the treatment of cellulite is a set of special acoustic wave pulses that induce vibrations in targeted tissue leading to tissue relaxation and stretching. As a result, the firmness and elasticity of the epidermis increase. The acoustic waves stimulate blood circulation and collagen production. Accelerated blood flow and vasomotor activity stimulate the destruction of fat cells. Mechanical vibrations enhance microcirculation and oxygen supply in the affected area resulting in increased blood supply and removal of excess interstitial fluid.
Benefits:
- Breaks down fatty deposits and cellulite
- Improves muscle tone
- Smooths and rejuvenates skin
- Tightens skin and underlying connective tissues
- Reduces circumference of treated area
- Increases the firmness of skin
