œ Cellulite Reversal

 

This treatment is remarkable for lymphatic therapy and may help with the appearance of cellulite.

 

 

The Dermosonic Advantage

 

The DermoSonic Method is a comprehensive, non-surgical approach.

DermoSonic embraces the physical and aesthetic needs of the whole body using a patented technique that has been proven safe and effective.

 

On average the DermoSonic program calls for two treatments per week.

 

Sessions take about 60 minutes each.

 

1/2"-1 1/2" loss per area in 87% of clients after first treatment.

 

Clients usually see significant changes within 6 sessions; but 10 sessions is the average number recommended.

 

Monthly maintenance sessions are suggested to increase the longevity of the results.

 

Treatments are enjoyable and relaxing because the skin is warmed and soothed by ultrasound and gently
massaged with NIST™.

 

DermoSonic closes the gap between the two forces that originally created the dimpled appearance temporarily reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Ultrasound

The DermoSonic ultrasound modality features a 3 MHz applicator programmed with 4 emission modes. Ultrasound is the first step in the session. The ultrasound is applied to gently warm the underlying layers of the epidermis and dermis, preparing the tissue for the benefits of NIST. Ultrasound can be pulsed continuously or intermittently and consists of nine pre-set programs. Vacuum therapy application
N.I.S.T.™ Noninvasive Sub dermal Therapy NIST or Vacuum suction mobilizes the warmed connective tissue and temporarily improves blood circulation. To ensure NIST settings are ideally adjusted for each patient, a sensitivity test is performed prior to each session. DermoSonic automatically adjusts the parameters throughout the session for optimal results.

DermoSonic is a patented technology to temporarily, yet effectively reduce the appearance of cellulite, temporarily increase circulation and relieve minor muscle aches and pains while relaxing muscle spasms.

Cellulite 101

 

It is the common term referred to describe fat that is found in the subdermal or subcutaneous layer of the skin.  It results in a dimpled, orange peel or cottage cheese like appearance in the buttocks, hips, thighs and stomach area. Underneath the epidermis and dermis are three fat layers. Cellulite develops in the most superficial of these layers, known as hypodermis or subcutaneous fat layer. This layer is structurally unique from the others because its fat lobes are organized into chambers by surrounding strands of connective tissue Hormones, not exercise and diet, primarily regulate fat storage and metabolism in the subcutaneous fat layer. Deeper below this layer we find what is termed reserve fat (also known as superficial reserve, sometimes, normal deep fat) Reserve fat is directly impacted by diet, exercise and certainly liposuction.

 

Why do thin women have Cellulite?

 

Cellulite is not related to obesity or even overweight

Very thin and fit women also have cellulite.

It is not a lifestyle issue

It is a hormonal issue.

 

Why does Cellulite form?

 

It forms as a result of complex physiological changes to the subcutaneous fat layer.

It forms no matter how regularly a person exercises.

It forms no matter how well balanced a diet may be.

If you do not have a healthy lifestyle the overall appearance of existing cellulite can worsen over time with weight gain, poor nutrition and inadequate water intake

 

How does weight gain contribute to excess cellulite?

 

Any layer of excess reserve fat takes on its own shape as it lies on top of muscle.

It can push up against the subcu layer, which heightens the appearance of cellulite.

Many who lose weight may notice a reduction in the appearance of the cellulite as the pounds come off, but it is still there. The appearance is simply not enhanced by the presence of excess fat.

 

What are some of the other causes of cellulite?

 

Fat cells swell due to fat storage

Toxic accumulation in the tissues

Fluid retention and poor hydration

Hormones are responsible for regulating changes in blood flow, lymphatic drainage, fat and connective tissue which is why cellulite develops during times of hormonal change

Stiff and thick fibers surround the fat cells, impeding blood flow

 

Is Cellulite a female thing only?

 

Men can have trapped fat within the hypodermal layer as well.

The connective fibers that thicken and become more rigid do not run vertically as they do in women.  It is in a diagonal web like manner.

The dimpled affect is not as apparent in men as it is in women.

For men this shows up as love handles, around the pectoral area, and often times at the top of the buttocks along the hip line.
