Cellulite is surprisingly common – it is thought to occur in 80-90% of adult females.
It is characterised by “dimpling” of the fatty areas. It occurs when the structure of fat changes beneath the skin and within the connective tissues; so that the appearance of the skin is less smooth.
Cellulite is not a medical condition and is completely harmless. However, its appearance can be cosmetically unsatisfactory and many women seek to reduce it.
Common Areas for Cellulite:
Cellulite is most commonly seen on:
- Buttocks
- Flanks
- Thighs
DIY Treatment for Cellulite
Women try many treatments for cellulite, including diet, exercise, cream and massage; but the condition can be very hard to shift, especially where it is hormonal or hereditary.
Professional Treatments
Carboxytherapy
An innovative treatment which involves microinjection of medical grade CO2 either beneath the skin in the fat layer, or into the skin’s dermis layer. This increases oxygen supply to tissues and kick-starts the body’s own healing and renewal processes. It can achieve excellent results in the treatment of cellulite. More information about carboxytherapy.
MesoBody (Mesotherapy, exclusive to Clinicbe)
Dr Barbara Kubicka offers a very effective cellulite treatment using Mesotherapy injections in a procedure developed by Dr Barbara Kubicka and exclusive to Clinicbe, known as MesoBody.
Cellulite responds very well to Mesotherapy treatment, although results are naturally dependent on the severity.
Anti-Cellulite Massage
Clinicbe has created a unique anti-cellulite massage which works to stimulate the blood and lymphatic circulation, helping to eliminate toxins and reduce water retention. The skin becomes softer, firmer and healthier-looking. Muscle tone is improved and the body shape and circumference can be decreased. Massage alone is not the answer to cellulite, but can be a very helpful and important part of the treatment process.
Cryolipolysis
Clinicbe offer treatment with the MiCool-A Cryo Fat Reduction system. This advanced technology offers excellent fat reduction results, targeting fat cells in the subcutaneous fat layer and breaking them down without causing any damage to the surrounding tissues.
