Cellulite causes dimpling of the skin and a lumpy appearance to the flesh. Cellulite can cause an “orange peel” appearance to the skin. It is most commonly located in the hips, buttocks, and abdomen. Sometimes it occurs in the breasts, upper arms, or belly. With mild cellulite, the dimpling is not apparent unless pinching the skin. Cellulite is much more common in women than in men because of differences in the way fat cells, muscle, and connective tissue are distributed in men’s and women’s skin. Fat deposits that push and distort the connective tissues beneath skin cause the appearance of lumpiness, leading to the characteristic “cottage cheese” changes in the appearance of the skin. Cellulite occurs due to shrinkage or shortening of the fibrous tissue cords that anchor the skin.

The main causes associated with cellulitis:

• Hormones play a dominant role in the formation of cellulite. Estrogen may be the important hormone in the development of cellulite.
• There is a genetic element in individual susceptibility to cellulite.
• A high-stress lifestyle will cause an increase in the level of adrenaline, which have also been associated with the development of cellulite.
• Several factors have been shown to be predisposing factors in the development of cellulite: Female, white, type of distribution of subcutaneous fat, and presence of lymphatic and circulatory insufficiency.

Treatments

Shockwave Therapy
This is a low-energy version of the technology that treats kidney stones. It’s a noninvasive treatment that applies acoustic waves (also called sound, pressure or shockwaves) to the affected areas. Typically, multiple treatments and maintenance treatments are necessary given twice a week for 6 or more weeks. It could give results for 2 to 6 months.

Venus Legacy

Venus Legacy™ uses heat to naturally boost collagen production and break down fat cells, which tightens sagging skin, smoothens out cellulite, and makes the body look slimmer and more toned. Venus Legacy™ will also help to reduce fine and lines and wrinkles, leaving you with smoother, younger-looking skin.

• Comfortable treatments with no downtime: Treatments are virtually painless, and you can return to your daily schedule immediately afterward.
• Safe for all skin tones: Treatments use radio frequency technology, which is proven safe and effective for all skin tones.
• What to expect:Most patients receive 6-8 treatments per area. The exact number will depend on each individual person and the area being treated. Treatments are done once a week.

How It Works

Using our patented (MP)² technology, Venus Legacy™ combines Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields, which produce uniform heat under the skin’s surface. The radio frequency causes a thermal reaction in the tissue, which stimulates the body’s natural healing response. This works to increase collagen and elastin fibers, which results in tighter, smoother skin. This process also works to break down the volume of fat cells in the treatment area, which helps to give the body a slimmer, more contoured shape.

What really sets Venus Legacy™ apart is the advanced VariPulse™ technology. This is an adjustable pulsed suction feature that gently pulls the skin upward. This allows for the radio frequency energy to travel even deeper into the skin. In addition to triggering even better cellulite reduction and body contouring, it also stimulates healthy circulation.

Venus Legacy™ is the Ultimate Non-Surgical Body Shaping Solution: contour your abdomen for a slimmer waistline, tighten sagging skin, smoothen stubborn cellulite on buttocks and thighs, diminish fine lines and wrinkles for smoother skin, improve circulation for healthy, naturally radiant skin.

Cellulaze™

Cellulaze™ is fast, easy and very effective, resulting in visibly smoother skin. In a recent survey 82% percent of women reported having cellulite, most believing they could minimize its appearance with diet and exercise. In fact, cellulite can’t always be eliminated by diet and exercise alone, and now for the first time there is a safer and more effective treatment available to you. This new technology goes beyond traditional treatments for cellulite, straight to the root of the problem, to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Cellulaze™ is a minimally invasive procedure that requires local anesthesia to be given to the area. Is very effective to permanently resolve advanced types of cellulite with deep valleys and elevated areas.

Cellulaze™ gets to the core of the problem by targeting the cause beneath the skin. First, it delivers laser energy to the dermis, producing thicker skin and increased elasticity. It also thermally subscises fibrotic bands that pull down on the skin. Lastly, it contours for the improvement of herniated pockets or lumps of fat.
