The cellulite is a very common problem that affects most women nowadays, on which the skin has a characteristic orange peel skin texture. For cellulite appearance a sum of factors is responsible, which if they stand alone, they do not lead to cellulite, but in case of combination they lead to disastrous results. The main causes of cellulite are:
- Birth Control Pills: The birth control pills contain estrogens which contribute to the fat storage, though the progesterone that they include is responsible for water retention.
- Hormonotherapies and Infertility Treatments: The irregularities that women face during the menstrual cycle may lead to cellulite appearance due to water retention inside the body. Moreover, the hormones that are used in fertility treatment increase the ovarian stimulation and result in excess body fat and cellulite.
- Pregnancy: During pregnancy, hormonal changes are usual enough, as simultaneously the bad circulation in the lymph and venous system favor the cellulite appearance. In this case, the cellulite can be reduced after the birth.
- Stress: The adrenaline or otherwise the “Stress Hormone”, lead to poor blood circulation having as a consequence to favor the cellulite appearance.
- Gender: The cellulite prefers the female gender, as it is more prevalent in women than men. This differentiation is basically owed to hormones, as the ones of thyroid glands and ovaries are important for cellulite appearance. In men, the adipose tissue is more compact and the appearance of cellulite more rear.
- Lack of physical exercise: The lack of physical exercise leads to poor blood circulation, having as a result weight gain and increase of fat tissues and as a consequence the cellulite appearance.
- Healthy eating: Healthy eating rich in carbohydrates and poor in fruits, vegetables and fibers can lead to weight gain and to an increase of water retention, having as result the cellulite appearance. Also, the exaggerated consumption of coffee, refreshments, white sugar in combination with low water consumption leads with certainty to cellulite and water retention.
The cellulite is appeared in a greater percentage, as a woman grows up, due to the fact that skin loses its stretching ability.
The treatment with radio frequencies is now globally accepted for its beneficial characteristics and consists one of the most effective non - invasive treatments for skin tightening, lifting and cellulite treatment. Via radio frequencies heat is provided to the tissues, leading to collagen production and fat disappearance.
The radio frequency is based on the fact that the high frequency in electricity can penetrate into the outermost layer of skin, making warm only the tissues that need to be improved, as also the tissues that stimulate the natural collagen production.
Lipolysis is the hydrolysis of triglycerides into free fatty acids in the presence of water. Via Cavitation ultrasound waves lipolysis is produced, though Radio Frequencies promote the collagen production and skin tightening. Release of fatty tissue is caused through lipolysis (damage to the membranes of fatty tissues), removal of triglycerides and skin tightening. The hypodermis, where cellulite is mostly produced, is getting heated up by the application of the ultrasound waves of RF.
The Radio Frequencies remove, via heat, the old fibers of collagen, induce the collagen and elastin production and give the desired skin tightening result. So, lipolysis and skin tightening that carried out together, act in synergy and manage the circumference reduction and the disappearance of cellulite wherever the treatment is applied to.
Via Cavitation & RF technologies we focus directly to the accumulated local fat of fat deposits of men and women, showing great results of liposuction without cutting, scars and rehabilitation. The Cavitation & RF technology is widely recognized as the most effective treatment for cellulite and reduction of localized fat. It is a non-invasive treatment - without scalpel, which targets to the degradation of fat cells and assures the fast circumference reduction immediately after the first session.
More specifically, the therapeutic power of Cavitation ultrasound waves creates small air bubbles inside the fat cells (via a physical phenomenon known as cavitation). The bubbles join together and break apart, as causes lysis of fat cells. Then the liquified fat is moving away via lymph circulation. The Cavitation effect is strengthening with the action of ultrasound waves of RF which penetrate the hypodermis, increase the metabolism and the destruction of fat tissue, eliminating even the most stubborn type of cellulite. The RF Radio Frequencies are applied several years in Cosmetic Dermatology and promote the natural collagen production while leading to skin tightening.
Finally, thanks to the incorporated special Vacuum head of Cavitation – RF, strong mechanical lymph massage occurs, achieving oxygenation of tissues, increase of appropriate blood circulation and toxin’s elimination.
The Lymph massage reacts deeply in the tissues, boosting the skin cells, as simultaneously according to Dermatologist- Venereologist Dr. Amalia Tsiatoura:
- Intensifies the metabolism
- Boosts and accelerates lipolysis
- Stimulates the lymph system
- Reduces loosening, cellulite and swelling
- Normalizes stretch marks
- Cleanse the skin
- Beautifies the appearance of the skin
The combined treatment Cavitation & RF compounds excellently the functions of ultrasound waves Cavitation, the RF radio frequency technology and the lymph massage with suction, achieving great lifting and skin tightening results, which until now were achievable only via invasive methods.
The application of the treatment includes electromagnetic waves (radio frequency RF) which transfer the heat energy deep into the skin as creating an endothermic reaction which reacts beneficially in the lymph - venous system and the fat tissue. The treatment improves the venous- lymph circulation and the drainage of toxins, the metabolism is accelerating and the fibroblasts are revitalized having as a result the impressive skin tightening.
It is about a treatment completely painless and pleasant, as the patient feels a slight warmth in the treated area as in massage therapy. Afterwards he/she may feel heat in the treated area due to the hyperemia that is caused, which only lasts for a few hours.
