Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   What are the newest surgical procedures for reducing/getting rid of cellulite?

   • ANSWER:
     The new cellulite treatments were first developed in France and are often referred to as liponic sculpting. These non-invasive and non-surgical techniques involve the use of a high-tech machine that moves over the skin producing a rolling and sucking motion that gradually results in a change in skin texture and appearance where the treatment is applied. The results can be a much smoother and slimmer appearance especially when the treatments are combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

     The newest forms of liponic sculpting are called Endermologie and Silhouette. These treatments utilize a high-tech device, a computer program and an experienced technician to perform the therapy. Researchers have found that one to two sessions per week offers the best results. Patients undergoing these refreshing treatments often describe the feeling as being like a deep and relaxing massage. Most people see results after 5 or 6 sessions, but the full course of treatments (13-15 treatments) is required to achieve the best results. The results will vary depending on the age, lifestyle and hormonal status of the individual. Many of our clients are reporting losses of inches from their figures after only 3-4 treatments. For most clients, the results will last for 6 to 18 months. Once a month maintenance treatments are recommended after completion of the sessions. Endermologie or Silhouette treatments can also speed up and improve healing after liposuction. We offer several sessions of liponic sculpting to our liposuction patients as a benefit with their surgery. It is highly recommended that diet and exercise be modified in a way to promote a healthier lifestyle as well. Men have also benefited in such problem areas as love handles and loose chest (pectoral) areas. The sessions are performed while the clients wear special pantyhose in most cases. This allows the apparatus to smoothly glide over the body and ensures optimal hygiene. Unlike liposuction, liponic sculpting does not involve breaking through the skin in any way.

4. QUESTION:
   How long will it take for cellulite to go away?
   Ive heard the best ways to get rid of cellulite without medical procedures is to lose weight and use a skin firming lotion.
   Ive been working out for a couple of weeks or so and my friends and coworkers notice and tell me I look like Ive lost some weight. Ive also started using a skin firming lotion about a week ago. I know its not going to go away in a minute, but I want to know, how long do you think before I will start seeing some results, because I havent notice anything yet.

   • ANSWER:
     Some 90 percent of women have cellulite. Even thin and physically fit stars like Pamela Anderson, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears and Nicole Kidman have it. To understand what cellulite is, you need to understand a bit about the musculature and fatty tissues beneath your skin.

     If you look at a cross section of a woman’s thigh, you’ll see tight fiber bands connecting muscle through the fat to the skin. Where the bands aren’t attached, the fat bulges up, creating the classic rippling effect of cellulite. Men generally don’t have the problem because their fibers criss-cross and the fat can’t bulge up as easily.

     The bottom line, according to Bank, is simple anatomy. Not even Hollywood stars can change it, he said, they’re just great at hiding it.

     And one of the best ways to camouflage cellulite, according to make-up artists on the old television show “Baywatch,” a program built around bikini babes, is self tanner.

     Shape magazine’s Stafford agrees, “It’s the best trick you can use. If your skin is tanned, you actually give the illusion of having less cellulite,” she said.

5. QUESTION:
   is there surgery for cellulite?
   Are there surgical procedures to get rid of cellulite? If so, is it low budget?

   • ANSWER:
     You should check out Velasmooth, Endermologie or Mesotherapy.

     Cellulite is caused by two things, 1) Fatty tissue and 2) Connective tissue.

     The first can be taken care of primarily by diet and working out. Drink your fair share of water, don’t eat too much and work out to maintain your metabolism.

     The second is more problematic and gets worse as you age because collagen is not regenerated so the tissue becomes less elastic and of course most people gain weight as they age because of a less active life style and a drop in metabolism. This is where Velasmooth or mesotherapy come in handy.

     The attached site has more info or you can call 888.517.4187 for someone who does the cellulite treatments. Liposuction will help with fat removal but can actually make the appearance of cellulite worse.
