Procedure Cellulite Therapy

Subdermal Therapy Technique...

As we age, and as a normal course of hormonal fluctuations and individual genetic tendencies, skin elasticity is gradually reduced. Bulging of fat chambers near the skin's surface then causes dimpling of the skin at the attachment points of the skin's underlying structural fibrous strands. This superficial fat distribution pattern is termed "Cellulite" and it occurs most often on the thighs, hips, and waists of women and men alike.

Now, using an improvement of previous French technology (Endermologie), these dimpled areas can be treated to smooth and tone the skin and allow for a more shapely silhouette. By gently, but firmly, gliding the Silhouette sub-dermal massage head over these Cellulite areas, the subdermal fat, and the offending fibrous strands are stimulated and stretched, favoring contour smoothing This soothing technique increases the local blood flow, stimulates dermal and sub-dermal structures, and offers a non - surgical means of reducing Cellulite's impact.

Best results are achieved by combining a course of 15 - 20 Silhouette Therapy sessions with a program of focused exercise, sensible diet, and good hydration. Silhouette Subdermal Therapy is not designed to be a replacement for liposuction, but rather is a technique for refining the most superficial skin contour irregularities and dimples .

Tumescent Liposuction remains the best treatment for undesirable, diet-resistant, hereditary fat storage pockets which cause the typical fat bulges of the outer thighs, hips and abdomen. The Subdermal Therapy technique and the Silhouette machine recently received FDA Approval for temporary improvement of Cellulite.
