Cellulite Reduction

Reasons Why Cellulite Forms on the Body

Although cellulite is typically more common for women, men can also exhibit the symptoms of this condition.  You don’t have to be overweight or obese for cellulite to affect you either, as studies have shown cellulite also occurs in men and women who are physically fit.

How much cellulite and the areas where it occurs on the body can vary one person to the next.

But in order to address cellulite with total efficacy, it’s important to understand what causes this condition to develop a treatment plan after it appears on the skin and taking steps, when possible, to prevent cellulite from forming in the first place.

The following are some of the most common causes that contribute to developing cellulite:

• Lack of collagen production
• Diminished blood flow and poor circulation to the area of the body developing cellulite
• Imbalances in hormone levels, particularly estrogen, insulin, and prolactin
• Lifestyle factors related to poor nutrition, lack of exercise or basic physical activity, and bad habits such as smoking
• Genetic predisposition
• Tight clothing worn on the buttocks that restricts blood flow and contributes to poor circulation

Grading Cellulite for Diagnosis and Treatment

Cellulite is made up of fat cells that bulge against the outer layers of the skin due to a lack of collagen production.  When this occurs, the surface layer of the skin appears lumpy and dimpled, some compare it to the appearance of cottage cheese.

This condition can be graded along a four point numbered grade scale, 1 to 4, classifying the severity of the cellulite to implement the most effective treatment options.  The grade scale is as follows:

Grade 1
Dimpled skin is visible only when pinching the skin.  It is not otherwise visible when seated or standing.

Grade 2
Dimpled skin is visible when the individual is in a standing position.

Grade 3
Dimpled skin is visible when the individual is in a seated or standing position.  The appearance of cellulite can be seen from any point of view, at any angle.

Grade 4
Dimpled skin showing signs of severe cellulite.  It can typically cause the individual pain or discomfort and may require medical attention.

Treating Cellulite with invisa-RED Laser Therapy

The use of invisa-RED to address cellulite reduction can offer many benefits over alternative treatment options that are more invasive.  Targeting the dimpled skin where cellulite is apparent, invisa-RED can reduce the size of the overgrown fat cells that are bulging against the dermal layer and restore the surface of the skin to a smooth, rejuvenated appearance.

Cellulite improvement with Infra-RED can change your life in a variety of ways.  Eliminating fatty tissue and tightening loose skin, this innovative form of laser treatment increases collagen production and triggers the fat cells to dilate and release the contained fat and toxins, boosting metabolism while increasing blood flow to the affected area of the body with pronounced cellulite from subcutaneous fat.

The fat is burned for energy and any toxins and unused materials are eliminated through the lymphatic system for smooth cellulite-free skin.

How Many Treatments are Necessary for Effective Cellulite Reduction?

Clients have reported seeing a marked difference in the appearance of their cellulite in as early as one treatment, but to best achieve the desired results, multiple treatments at two to three times a week may be required. Our clinicians customize the treatment plan that works best for the client depending upon his or her particular cellulite challenges.

The amount of sessions and the length of time needed for each session is determined based on the client as there is no one-size-fits-all approach to cellulite improvement with invisa-RED therapy.

Is Recovery Time Necessary after invisa-RED Treatment?

There is no downtime or recovery time needed after receiving treatment.  Since invisa-RED is a non-surgical, non-invasive form of cellulite reduction, you won’t need to miss work or make any changes to your everyday routine.  There are no side effects or potential infection risks that are associated with other alternative traditional forms of cellulite treatment.

invisa-RED treatments can address cellulite at all parts of the body, including the hips, thighs, back of the legs, the buttocks, and waist.  These are the areas where cellulite is most apparent in both women and men.

After the prescribed treatment schedule has been completed in full, we suggest continued maintenance of one to two treatments per month for keeping cellulite from re-emerging.
