WHAT CAUSES CELLULITE? 

Over time, three completely normal things can happen that change your skin. Fat cells get larger, the skin gets thinner and somewhat looser, and the fibrous bands under the skin’s surface that connect to the underlying muscle get thicker and pull downward. The result is an uneven, dimpled appearance.

Cellulite is not caused by fat, as many people think. While weight loss can reduce the appearance of cellulite, it won’t eliminate it because weight loss doesn’t affect the fibrous bands under the skin’s surface. In some cases, weight loss can actually make cellulite look worse because of resulting skin laxity.

CELLULITE REDUCTION OPTIONS AT NEAMAN MEDI SPA

Patients seeking cellulite treatment with QWO®, an injectable treatment designed to help dissolve the fibrous cords that cause cellulite dimpling, may be surprised to learn that this product has been discontinued due to safety concerns. At Neaman Medi Spa, we provide two alternative non-surgical options that achieve the same desired effects: smooth, youthful-looking, firmer skin with fewer cellulite dimples. We offer effective Cellutone treatments and clinically proven SkinMedica Firm &Tone Lotion for Body.

Cellutone Treatments:

Cellutone is a non-invasive cellulite reduction treatment that improves the skin texture and general appearance. Neaman Medi Spa provides Cellutone as a complementary treatment for body contouring procedures. Cellutone helps to smooth out the skin and achieve an even, tighter skin contour. Cellutone uses the power of targeted vibrations via a handheld device.

The Cellutone device directs sound waves to the treatment area. These energy waves cause micro-busts of pressure, stimulating your circulation and the production of collagen. The handpiece is passed over your skin, causing vibrations that help increase blood supply and provide better lymphatic drainage to improve the overall health of your skin, effectively triggering it to rebuild itself at a structural level. The result is stronger, smoother, more supple skin.

Cellutone is non-surgical and requires no anesthesia. This safe, essentially painless treatment results in little to no side effects and achieves a high level of success and patient satisfaction.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR CELLUTONE TREATMENT:

Your treatment time with Cellutone will vary depending on the areas being treated, but it is a short procedure. Most patients feel no pain, but expect to experience a slight vibrating sensation against your skin. 

Once your treatment is complete, there is no recovery period. You can continue with the rest of your day and usual activities without downtime or other restrictions.

Treatments can be performed twice a week. Patients typically require a series of six treatments to achieve the best results.

WHERE CAN CELLUTONE BE USED? 

Cellutone can be used to effectively and safely reduce cellulite and stretch marks in the following areas:

  • Buttocks and thighs
  • Abdomen and waist
  • Upper arms
  • Area around the bra line  

CELLUTONE RESULTS

Patients generally see initial results after their first or second treatment. However, the more significant results appear by the fourth treatment.  Maintain your active, healthy lifestyle to achieve the most optimum results.

SKINMEDICA FIRM & TONE LOTION FOR BODY

SkinMedica is a clinically-proven, medical-grade skincare line. The active ingredients in medical-grade skincare products are more highly concentrated than over-the-counter products. This is why SkinMedica Firm & Tone Lotion For Body is so potent and effective in achieving smooth, firm skin and helping to reduce cellulite. 

WHAT CAN SKINMEDICA FIRM & TONE LOTION ADDRESS?

Firm & Tone Lotion for Body is dermatologist-tested and formulated to prevent and reverse the signs of age appearing on your skin, such as crepey skin, cellulite, uneven skin texture, and more. 

SkinMedica is clinically proven to achieve the following:

  • Reduce the appearance of crepey skin
  • Smooth uneven skin texture
  • Improve skin firmness and tone
  • Reduce the appearance of sagging

WHAT MAKES FIRM & TONE LOTION SO EFFECTIVE?

Like all SkinMedica products, Firm & Tone Lotion for Body is formulated with scientifically proven, patent-pending technology. Firm & Tone was developed to target five causes of laxity and fat in the skin. Firm & Tone is an advanced product that uses a cutting-edge blend of active ingredients to reduce the appearance of loose and sagging skin, cellulite, and other concerns, which appear as the skin gets thinner during the natural aging process. Ingredients were specially selected to support extracellular matrix proteins, such as collagen and elastin, boost cellular regeneration, tone and resurface the skin, detoxify the skin, and more.

Firm & Tone Lotion for Body is formulated with the following active botanicals and key ingredients to trigger a remarkable change in the skin, including the following:

  • Ginger root extract
  • Lemon balm extract
  • Japanese parsley
  • Grapefruit peel oil 
  • Green microalgae 
  • Shitake mushroom extracts
  • Coffea arabica seed oil
  • Caffeine
  • Hydrolyzed Rice Protein

WHY DOES TREATING CELLULITE MATTER?

WHAT IS CELLULITE?

Cellulite is a localized alteration (commonly referred to as a “dimple) in the contour of the skin that has been reported in approximately 90% of adult women of all races and ethnicities.

WHAT CAUSES CELLULITE?

Over time, three completely normal things can happen. Fat cells get larger, skin gets thinner and a little looser and the fibrous bands under the skin’s surface get thicker, leading to a dimpled appearance.

WHO GETS CELLULITE?

Women are more likely to have cellulite than men, and it affects women of all shapes, sizes, ages and races.

WHY AREN'T MEN PRONE TO DEVELOPING CELLULITE?

Men have thicker skin than women do, and their collagen bands are oriented in a crisscross fashion, essentially eliminating the ability of the fat lobules to bulge through. If a man is given estrogen hormones (as in some cancer treatments), they can develop cellulite if there is enough fat.

HOW DOES AGE IMPACT THE APPEARANCE OF CELLULITE?

Skin laxity happens as you age and can impact the appearance of cellulite.

ARE FAT AND CELLULITE THE SAME?

Fat is not cellulite and does not cause it, but fat cells getting bigger between fibrous bands under the skin can contribute to a bumpy appearance.

CAN WEIGHT LOSS HELP TO GET RID OF CELLULITE?

Weight loss might reduce the appearance of cellulite but won’t get rid of it since it doesn’t address the fibrous bands under the skin’s surface.6 In some cases, weight loss can actually make cellulite look worse because of resulting skin laxity.

WHAT BODY PARTS ARE MOST PRONE TO CELLULITE?

In an online Harris Poll survey of 2,006 women with cellulite, respondents said their cellulite was most commonly present in certain areas: 81% thighs, 66% butt, 42% stomach, 33% hips, 24% arms, 11% calves.8 Although cellulite can develop in various areas of the body, it mainly affects women and the predominant localization is on thighs and buttocks. This is because women tend to have more fatty deposits in these areas.

DO TOPICAL TREATMENTS HELP DECREASE THE APPEARANCE OF CELLULITE?

Topical treatments such as lotions, creams and scrubs have been used to temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite.

WHY DOES TREATING CELLULITE MATTER?

Cellulite isn’t just a superficial problem—it’s actually quite deep. According to a recent Harris Poll online survey of 2,006 women, nearly half said they are bothered “a great deal” or “a lot” by their cellulite.
