Using Mesotherapy For Cellulite Reduction
Up to 90% of women will experience cellulite at some point in their lives. This so-called ‘orange peel’ skin typically affects the thighs and buttocks, but can also be found on the breasts, stomach and upper arms. Although harmless, many wish to reduce the appearance of their dimpled skin for cosmetic reasons and with bikini season right around the corner, there’s no better time than now to start treating your cellulite. Many over-the-counter products claim to even out skin texture but few, if any, are effective. RP Aesthetics recommends using Mesotherapy for cellulite reduction.
What Causes Cellulite?
The exact cause of cellulite is unknown but genetics are thought to play a role. A sedentary lifestyle correlates with its development and weight gain can make its appearance more severe, however, those with a slimmer frame are no less likely to experience cellulite.
Cellulite involves an interaction between the connective tissue that anchors the skin to the underlying muscle and the fat that lies in between. In women, these fibrous connective chords are arranged vertically, meaning that when fat accumulates, it is pushed to the surface, creating a bumpy, uneven texture. In men, the tissue has a criss-cross structure, which may explain why cellulite is much less prevalent in this gender.
Mesotherapy For Cellulite
Mesotherapy describes the use of precise injections containing a tailored blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and hyaluronic acid into the skin. The practice of Mesotherapy for cellulite prevents adipose cells from storing fat by increasing the local metabolic rate of targeted areas. This, in turn, begins to break down existing fat cells, which are removed from the body via the lymphatic system.
What To Expect From Your Treatment
Mesotherapy for cellulite reduction is most effective when a course of treatments is carried out. Most clients receive 2 treatments per week for a minimum of 4 weeks, with as many as 8 weeks being recommended for severe cases. The majority of clients report only mild discomfort as the injections are administered and there is little to no downtime following the non-surgical treatment. Minor bruising may appear around injection sites, however, this is only temporary.
