Cellulite Reduction Using Cellulite Surgery

Cellulite is a condition that affects over 90% of all women. Interestingly, cellulite reduction is not as much of an issue for men. Researchers believe that this might be because some of the factor which affects the development of cellulite is related to the hormonal balance in the female system.

Women continue to search for methods of cellulite removal that can disappear cellulite from their bodies, or at least stop the progression. Over-the-counter creams, herbal remedies, massage techniques, and even medications all have specific claims, but none are supported by clinical research or supported by The Food and Drug Administration.

Liposuction

A couple different cellulite surgery techniques have been evaluated for cellulite removal. Liposuction is one cellulite reduction technique which has shown varied results. Several clinical trials, for example, have shown that liposuction which is intended for fat removal and not necessarily cellulite removal does not have solid results in cellulite reduction. This could be because of the way cellulite forms and spreads over thighs, abdomen and upper arms.

That orange peel appearance on the skin comes from fat deposits forced up between connective tissue which lie just under the skin. Unfortunately, liposuction is designed to remove the fat at a lower level and oftentimes leaves the fat that is too far up under the skin.

RejuveSkin claims to have pioneered a new cellulite surgery method that is safe and effective. It uses a machine with a patent pending graft system that breaks up the cellulite first and then applies a tissue grafting surgical technique which replaces removed tissue.

Not everyone is a candidate for this particular type of treatment. Skin age, density, texture, and composition are factors that determine whether an individual is a good candidate for this procedure.

Triactive Laser Dermology and Subcision

Another cellulite surgery procedure is triactive laser dermology. It is a laser treatment that reduces the appearance of cellulite. Subcision is another invasive technique that uses a special needle which separates the fibrous bonds from under the skin where the cellulite is retained.

Using Radio Waves for Cellulite Reduction

Velasmooth is a non-invasive technique that uses a combination of radio waves, infrared light and deep tissue massage to massage the cellulite in a very painless manner. Lonithermie is a spa treatment that uses electrodes, thermal clay, essential oils and algae to reduce the appearance of cellulite without removing the fat and connective tissue.

It is important for the woman and her doctor to first consider the type of treatment she would like to undergo as well as choosing the best place to receive the treatment. Women should seek the care of a qualified physician who is board certified, trusted among other physicians, and for whom you can find referrals from friends, relatives, co-workers, or groups.

Because invasive surgeries can cause infection, it's important you monitor results both during the surgery and after the procedure. Women should also see before and after pictures of expected results so they can have a good grasp of what to expect from any particular procedure. In case of incisions, physicians recommend that you not go back to your daily work until your incisions are fully healed. Otherwise you may suffer an infection or a health relapse.

Always consult with your doctor or a certified professional trainer before undertaking any exercises, treatments, or dietary supplements.
