Cellulite is possibly one of the most frustrating cosmetic problems that someone can experience yet it is extremely common, particularly amongst women and this is due to the different way in which fat is distributed in the male and female bodies. Studies suggest that between 80 and 90% of women will experience some degree of cellulite at some point during their lifetime.
It is characterized by skin that has a dimpled, lump appearance and some people like it to the texture and looks of an orange peel. Although it most often affects the buttocks and thighs, it can occur anywhere on the body. Exactly what causes cellulite isn’t known, but certain factors are believed to contribute towards its development. These include:
- Hormone fluctuations
- Aging and the natural deterioration of skin quality due to the slowdown in collagen and elastin production
- Genetics: patients who have family members with cellulite are believed to be at increased risk of the condition
- Being overweight/obese
- Smoking
- Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol
Although there are many different products that claim to be able to reduce the effects of cellulite, the results of these are often mediocre and temporary. Fortunately, there is an alternative, non-invasive solution – red light therapy.
Cellulite Reduction Using Red Light Therapy
All of our procedures, including cellulite reduction, are carried out using red light therapy. Our advanced red light treatment targets areas of cellulite and breaks up the underlying fat cells, liquifying the fat inside them and enabling the cells to shrink. Doing so significantly improves the appearance of the skin and reduces signs of cellulite, leaving patients with a smoother, more toned appearance.
Red-light therapy also had the added bonus of speeding up your natural metabolism, and this will improve your ability to burn fat, benefitting your entire body.
What are the Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Cellulite Reduction?
There are numerous different benefits to choosing red light therapy for cellulite reduction. These include the following:
- A non-invasive procedure that requires no incisions and no need for anesthetic
- No heat or discomfort is experienced at any point during the procedure
- Each red light therapy can be carried out in under 30 minutes
- No downtime required, you can go back to your usual activities immediately
- Results can be seen after your very first treatment
Our studies have shown that in terms of results, one 20-minute red light treatment at our offices is the equivalent of SEVEN 30-minute cardio work-out sessions! Great results with minimal effort – something which is particularly good if you have health problems that can make exercise problematic.
