Cellulite can appear on the body due to a variety of reasons, ranging from genetics and the natural ageing process through to an individual’s hormones, body weight and skin structure. But while weight can be a contributor, you might be surprised to learn that fat deposits aren’t the reason why cellulite occurs. In fact, many people with a healthy weight can also experience cellulite.
To understand the formation of cellulite, it’s important to know how fat storage works in the body. Fat cells that store energy are found beneath the skin in compartments that connect the skin to the muscles. Smaller fat cells can fit into these compartments comfortably, but when fat cells grow too large, this causes subcutaneous fat to bulge through and become visible on the surface of the skin.
Ultrasound fat cavitation for cellulite is a popular treatment option due to its non-surgical and non-invasive approach. This treatment works by using low frequency ultrasound to target affected areas, which applies strong pressure to the fat cells in order to liquefy them through a process known as lipolosis. These cells are then absorbed by the body’s lymphatic system. As well as minimising cellulite’s appearance, fat cavitation for cellulite can additionally be used to target stubborn fat. The treatment involves little to no downtime, and results can be long-lasting when a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
Before undergoing fat cavitation for cellulite, our staff will consult with you to create a treatment plan to help you achieve your desired result. During the treatment itself, the targeted area will be cleaned and prepared, and a gel will be applied. A handheld ultrasound machine will be moved over the area, providing a pain-free treatment with a slight tickling or tingling sensation that may be felt. You may also be able to hear the ultrasound waves. How long the treatment takes will depend on the size of the targeted area. To give you an idea, an A5 area can take approximately 10 minutes to treat.
Fat cavitation can be used on multiple areas of the body where cellulite appears, including the stomach, thighs and hips.
