Get smoother, more youthful skin with Cellulaze laser cellulite reduction.

You may have noticed dimpling of the skin on your upper arms, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or pelvic region. This is very common and occurs in the vast majority of people, including men and women who are in prime health. Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not fat and cannot be targeted through diet and exercise. Rather, cellulite is caused by bands of connective tissue under the skin that surrounds fat cells. When the fat cells increase in size the expansion causes the skin to be pushed against while still remaining pulled down where the bands are located. The effect is a “cottage cheese” or “orange peel” appearance.

Cellulite is most noticeable in individuals with thin skin and more common in women than men due to a higher occurrence of cellulite-forming fat and connective tissue. However, it is still not clear why some people develop cellulite and others do not. Some factors that may be contributors to the unwanted skin texture include hormones, genetics, and diet and lifestyle.

Hormones, including estrogen, insulin, thyroid hormones, and prolactin may be responsible for cellulite development. Another explanation is that a slow metabolism, circulatory problems, and fat distribution, all things which are attributed to genetics, may play a role. Unfortunately, these factors are typically out of our control. What is manageable is diet and lifestyle. People who smoke, are inactive, and consume high amounts of fat and carbohydrates may be more susceptible to the formation of cellulite. Age and weight fluctuations may also be contributors. However, since even very health-conscious patients can have cellulite, the only true solution is to address the combination fibrous bands and trapped fat deposits, which is achievable with Cellulaze.

Cellulaze is effective because it targets the structure of cellulite though advanced laser technology, attacking the problem at the source. The laser energy is first directed to the dermis, the lower layers of the skin, to increase skin thickness and elasticity. At the same time, the thermal energy is used to sever the bands of connective tissue, reducing the pull on the skin that contributes to the protuberance. Finally, Cellulaze contours the underlying lumps of fat, leading to smoothness on the skin surface.

Ideal candidates for Cellulaze are those in generally good health who have moderate cellulite. They are at a stable weight, which is close to their goal weight. The procedure works best for patients who are nonsmokers. It is also important that they have realistic expectations for the outcomes of the procedure.

Those who do not fit this description perfectly may still be good candidates, however it should be noted
that their result may not be optimal. Patients may not see the same dramatic results if they are overweight or smoke.
