What Is Cellulite?
Contrary to popular theories that equate cellulite to body fat, cellulite is actually a skin condition. The presence of cellulite is not an automatic marker of health; even physically fit individuals might experience this condition.
This rippled effect appears when vertical bands of fibrous tissue press against the skin. These bands become more visible when pockets of subcutaneous fat push up against them.
Often found on the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, up to 90% of women have cellulite on their bodies. Cellulite is more common among women because women’s fat cells and fibrous bands follow a vertical structure. The condition is less prevalent among men, as their connective tissues run laterally beneath the skin, making the cords more efficient in containing fat and thus less visible.
Cellulite becomes increasingly common with age, since the dermis naturally thins and weakens as we grow older.
How Can I Manage the Appearance of Cellulite?
Before beginning your cellulite treatment in Lancaster, you first sit down with one of our licensed providers to discuss your concerns, treatment goals, medical history, and lifestyle. Then, your practitioner works with you to craft a treatment plan that helps you achieve your aesthetic vision.
Medically Assisted Weight Loss
For some patients, medically supervised weight management is the first step in reducing the appearance of cellulite. By strategically suppressing your appetite and incorporating behavioral coaching and healthy habits, we can steadily reduce the excess fat compressing the fibrous cords against the overlying skin.
Emsculpt
We can further minimize lingering pockets of fat with the advanced Emsculpt device. This body contouring technology delivers controlled electromagnetic pulses and radiofrequency (RF) energy to the treatment area.
The pulses stimulate muscular contractions, toning and strengthening the targeted muscle groups. Thermal RF energy gently heats and breaks down fat cells, after which your body flushes them away.
Exilis Ultra 360
Similarly, the Exilis Ultra 360 device combines noninvasive RF and ultrasound energy to penetrate through skin and fat.
As the thermal RF energy and ultrasound waves damage the surrounding fat cells, they simultaneously trigger skin healing, activating collagen and elastin genesis. With a stronger dermal structure, the skin tightens, visibly reducing the puckered appearance of cellulite.
