Latest Cellulite Therapy - with good ole Massage therapy!

9. June 2010 by admin.

Triactive

The most recent technology to reduce cellulite incorporates 3 different techniques and is promoted as TriActive LaserDermology. TriActive, so named for the 3 separate actions a technician applies, endeavors to smooth and tighten loose ripple skin by combining mechanical massage, localized cooling and deep laser stimulation. By integrating a low-energy laser, a skin-cooling mechanism, and suction massage to stimulate collagen, circulation, and lymphatic drainage, Tri-Active has been successfully diminishing the appearing of cellulite.

TriActive LaserDermology system is uniquely designed for the treatment of face and body. TriActive systems were originally developed years ago by laser scientists in Italy and are in use all over the world. Spas and other health specialists have used this innovative technology in thousands of individuals to reduce the appearance of cellulite and rejuvenate the skin. With just a series of procedures, TriActive LaserDermology’s goal is to enhance the appearance of skin, making it feel smoother and tighter.

90% of women have cellulite. The TriActive is specially designed to treat this common condition. Through a combination of massage therapy and recent developments in laser technology, TriActive LaserDermology provides your clients with a relaxing therapeutic message that stimulates the subcutaneous tissue and increases microcirculation. The laser is also associated with increasing microcirculation. The combined action helps the body’s own mechanisms eliminate toxins and impurities while improving the appearance of cellulite.

Clients are typically treated 2 times per week for a total of 10-16 treatments. Each treatment takes 30-45 minutes. Clients find the treatment experience relaxing and many will fall asleep. Once the initial treatments are completed, it is recommended that clients return for a monthly maintenance treatment.

Therapy for Cellulite Removal

9. June 2010 by admin.

While dimpled skin can be traced to genetics, hormones and lifestyle, the problem’s immediate cause is the accumulation of lipids in the fat cells. Swelling from lipid accumulation exerts pressure on the circulatory system, causing a slowdown both in the intake of nutrients and the drainage of waste products. Poor exchanges lead to a gradual stiffening of the connective tissue, which shortens as it stiffens, pulling the skin down. At the same time, the clusters of enlarged fat cells pull the skin up. The consequence of this push/pull mechanism is the appearance of dimpling.

Acoustic Wave Therapy uses a ballistic medical device to generate pressure waves that pass through the skin and fat to impact the fibrous septae. This causes a break up of the collagen of the septae and RELEASES the skin - prouducing a smoother surface. AWT also helps to thicken the dermis, decreasing fat protrusion. Ultrasound pictures confirm thickening after treatment.

Patients are treated twice per week for three weeks, with sessions generally requiring less than a half hour. Additional treatments are necessary for about 20 percent of patients. Patients may wish to have a maintenance session once every three months after completing the program.

Velasmooth is the first and only medical device with the revolutionary elos (electro-optical synergy) combined energy technology by Syneron Medical. By using Bi-Polar Radio Frequency and Infrared Light — plus tissue mobilization combined with suction, the appearance of cellulite is reduced and problem areas are re-contoured. Many women find Velasmooth to be a viable alternative to liposuction as a means of coutouring upper thighs and buttocks.

How does Velasmooth get rid of cellulite?
The machine uses light and radio frequency to heat up fat cells, breaking them apart and sending them to the lymph nodes for the body to dispose of naturally. The Velasmooth also uses suction to gently smooth the skin during treatment so the light and radio frequency are delivered uniformly.

By reducing the number of fat cells and affecting the intra-fat structure, the treated area becomes smoother and more elastic. The radio frequency also causes a mild contraction that visually lifts and firms the area, especially noticeable in the buttocks.

1. Conducted Radio Frequency increases oxygen intracellular diffusion by
heating tissue.

2. Infrared Light increases elasticity of skin and heats subcutaneous fat, while safeguarding the skin from damage.

3. Vacuum manipulates and smoothes out the skin to facilitate safe and efficient energy delivery.

The FDA has approved the VelaSmooth, a revolutionary aesthetic device for the treatment of cellulite. VelaSmooth reduces the appearance of cellulite to safely and effectively re-contour the skin’s surface.
 

Is it safe? Is there pain?
VelaSmooth is a safe, painless treatment without needles or down time. It has the approval of the FDA

How many treatment will I need?
Two treatments a week for a period of 4-5 weeks is required.

What type of results can I expect?
Of course everyone is different and results will vary from person to person but almost universally treated patients see a reduction in cellulite and fat with an improvement in skin texture. You can lose inches from areas in just 4-5 weeks.

Hips, thighs, tummy, arms, buttocks and love handles can be treated in minutes.

What is the cost for VelaSmooth?
A series of 8-10 treatments over 4-5 weeks are necessary. A package of 8-10 treatments is priced at $1200-$1500.
