Am I A Good Candidate For Laser Cellulite Reduction?
Laser cellulite reduction may be a good option for individuals who sit within a normal weight range and want to reduce cellulite on the waist, belly, buttocks, or legs. This treatment should help those of virtually any age. Even so, some groups of people can get improved outcomes than when compared to the rest. These typically are patients who have:
- Observable fat, cellulite, and skin smoothness problems
- A need for outcomes that last a long time
- Realistic expectations for their results
- A generally healthy and well-functioning immune system
How Is Laser Cellulite Reduction Performed?
Cellulite reduction treatments are noninvasive procedures that safely and effectively minimize the appearance of cellulite and improve the contours of the body in the treated areas. Cellulite reduction treatments use radiofrequency energy and gentle vacuum massage to induce apoptosis (the destruction of fat cells). The dead fat cells are naturally absorbed by the body and processed out with time. Patients will be able to leave after the procedure, but they should avoid strenuous activity for at least 1 – 2 weeks.
What Can I Expect After Laser Cellulite Reduction?
For the first day or two after the treatment, you may experience some mild bruising, swelling, and redness, but this should subside quickly to reveal results. Results usually last 6 – 12 months as the patient notices a reduction in the appearance of cellulite and skin dimpling, and an improvement in the elasticity and thickness of their skin. Individual results vary, but on average, patients lose about one inch off the circumference of the treated area.
Laser Cellulite Reduction FAQ
What is cellulite?
Cellulite is the lumpy, dimpled flesh that usually appears on the thighs, hips, butt, and stomach. While cellulite is more common in women, it can also be found in men. The cause of cellulite is still unclear, but many doctors think it is fat swollen with toxins to create ripples on the surface of the skin, which may be caused by genetics, thin skin, and aging. Cellulite can be found on thin and overweight bodies, and while it is not considered a serious medical condition, it is considered undesirable and unattractive.
What is the length of a laser cellulite reduction treatment?
The length of the treatment will depend on how many areas are being treated and the size of each area, but most treatments take at least 1 – 2 hours. Patients should return to get cellulite reduction treatments once a week for 6 – 8 weeks, or as recommended.
What can I expect during recovery?
To help speed recovery and fat loss, patients may wear compression garments for 2 – 3 weeks after their treatment. It is also helpful to the recovery process if the patient avoids strenuous activity, including exercise for 1 – 2 weeks.
How does laser cellulite reduction differ from traditional cellulite treatments?
Unlike traditional methods such as liposuction or creams, laser cellulite reduction targets the underlying causes of cellulite. It offers a nonsurgical option with quicker recovery time compared to surgical measures.
How long does each session take?
A typical session for laser cellulite reduction usually takes about an hour to perform, but the duration may vary depending on the condition of your skin and the area being treated.
Are there any contraindications for laser cellulite treatment?
People with certain medical conditions like diabetes, skin disorders, or circulatory issues may not be ideal candidates. Pregnant women are also usually advised to wait until after giving birth to undergo this treatment.
