Cellulite is one of those things that simply feels impossible to get rid of. Even when you work hard in the gym and eat healthy, cellulite might linger. The good news is, we offer two different treatments that really improve the appearance of cellulite for good! Ready for some help with your cellulite? Let’s see if one of these treatments can work for you, but first let’s get an understanding of exactly what cellulite is.
What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is when the skin, most commonly the thighs on women, look dimpled. This happens because the fatty tissue that is deep below the skin starts to push upward against the connective tissue. When the area has poor lymphatic drainage, that is when we also see an increase in cellulite. Also, poor circulation in the area can effect the appearance.
Age is one of the most common leading factors for women to start to see cellulite, in fact most women after the age of 21 start to show some cellulite in their legs. Like most things, your family history of cellulite will be a big tell-tale sign that it could be coming your way.
Many women see an increase in their cellulite during pregnancy as the weight gain increases as well. This is a common reason post-pregnant women come to us for their mommy-makeover. Giving your body some love after carrying your new born child is absolutely worth it. We actually have a few things you can consider as a new mom- read all about those options here.
What treatments can reduce cellulite?
As mentioned above, we have two amazing treatments that address cellulite with lasting results, Morpheus8 Body and Evolve Trim Body Sculpting. Both of these options are quick procedures that require almost no down time. They sculpt and tone the body effectively for long lasting results. If you are struggling with stubborn fat and cellulite in your stomach, thighs, and/or upper arms then you would want to consider either of these treatments.
What is Morpheus8 Body?
Morpheus8 is a safe and effective minimally invasive modular radio frequency fractional solution for full-body remodeling. This fractional treatment penetrates deep into the skin and stimulates collagen production for a smoother and sleeker appearance. Morpheus8 body effectively remodels skin and tissue with minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It can be used on darker skin tones with no risk of thermal damage.
Morpheus8 technology combines microneedling and radio frequency technology. Microneedling is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles and rebuild collagen by inserting a matrix of micro pins to renew deeper layers of the skin. Radiofrequency (RF) energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled manner to revitalize the collagen. The combination delivers that deep treatment under the skin while also addressing the surface. Basically, tiny needles go deeper while the skin gets heated to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment. Yes, you can just have a microneedling session done, but the radiofrequency means your results will be better and for longer.
This treatment helps to improve skin complexion and texture for a more radiant and youthful appearance. Morpheus8’s modular tips enable procedures to be customized for large or small body areas. You can use Morpheus8 Body on the chest, arms, legs, abdomen, and buttocks.
How quickly will you see results? You will notice the first visible results within a few days. Initially, your treatment area will be more swollen and possibly red after the treatment. Once that has subsided, some people notice a smoother skin surface right away. Typically the most noticeable results appear after three weeks. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment as the additional collagen is produced in the area. This is where before and after photos are fun to see the progression and really be able to notice all of the changes that have happened!
What is Evolve Trim Body Contouring?
Evolve Body Sculpting treatments will help you rebuild your body without surgery, a long recovery downtime, or scars associated with invasive surgery. Evolve Tite delivers an innovative hands-free aesthetic solution to remodel and tighten the skin on your body. It is a quick and easy treatment that can be done over lunchtime and is conducted in the comfort of a treatment room.
This is great to tighten your stomach, legs, or arms and can actually be done to more than one area at a time! Evolve Trim is an innovative non-invasive, non-surgical solution designed specifically to reduce the unsightly appearance of cellulite. Customized treatments are designed to address your specific needs so the end result is a slimmer appearance with no downtime.
So how does Evolve Trim actually work? Evolve Trim leverages a combination of different clinically proven technologies to provide the ultimate customizable body and cellulite treatment. A combination of radiofrequency energy, deep tissue heating, and vacuum design provide maximum results. Radiofrequency energy distributes heat to the skin and underlying fat, causing the tissues to heat. The vacuum and controlled energy pulses then work synergistically to provide natural body shaping results.
What’s great about Evolve Trim is that most clients find the treatments comfortable. During your procedure, you can expect a warming of your skin and a gentle pulling sensation as the radiofrequency and vacuum work together to smooth out unwanted stubborn pockets of fat to remodel the tissue below the skin to improve the cellulite appearance.
There is no recovery period or downtime associated with Evolve Trim. It is a quick treatment that can be done over your lunch time, allowing you to return to your normal activities immediately. Patients will notice redness and warmth in the treated area which will subside after a few hours just as you may with a heavy cardio workout.
You will need multiple sessions to see optimal results to get rid of your cellulite depending on how extensive it is. We will see you for a consult prior to your treatment when we will recommend the optimal number of sessions to be performed based on your personal objectives. Treatment times and frequency will be specifically tailored to obtain optimal results. You will begin to see gradual improvements in the treatment area following your first few sessions.
You can actually combine treatment areas at one time with the Evolve by Inmode systems. In addition to the cellulite on your legs, your arms, buttocks, stomach, and back can all be treated with one of the three Evolve treatments. The other two Evolve treatments are called, Evolve Tone & Evolve Tite.
Evolve Tone is an innovative non-invasive solution designed specifically to increase muscle strength. It is a non-surgical procedure which will enhance the shape and tone of your body. Treatments are customized and tailored to address your specific needs, so the end result is a more defined appearance without any incisions, scarring, or downtime.
Evolve Tite delivers an innovative hands-free aesthetic solution to remodel your skin. It is a quick and easy treatment that can be done over lunchtime and is conducted in the comfort of a treatment room. Treatments can be customized and tailored to address your specific needs so the end result is a slimmer appearance with no downtime.
Can I do anything at home to get rid of cellulite?
There are some things you can do to minimize and improve the cellulite in your thighs. Drinking plenty of water every day helps to increase your circulation and just keeps things moving well in the body. Likewise, what you fuel your body with makes all the difference. Eating a whole food diet full of vegetables, fruits, high quality meats and fats gives your body the nutrients it needs to stay healthy and fight off anything that could come your way.
Working out and using those legs of yours also keeps them in tip top shape. Cardio, squats, and hiking are all great to get your legs moving and burning fat. Loosing weight can help to reduce the cellulite and keeping your legs toned.
One thing that feels great, is easy to do, and shows promising help, is massaging the areas. Getting the blood flowing more and more helps to reduce the cellulite as it keeps the area from being stagnant. If you combine regular workouts of the legs with massage and more water in take, you should see some improvements over time.
When trying the at home cellulite remedies just don’t cut it, you can start to explore the idea of a treatment. Morpheus8 Body and Evolve Trim are two of our favorite options as they leave long lasting results in a comfortable rather quick session or two.
