Cellulite is a problem that the vast majority of women suffer from and unfortunately, it is notoriously hard to shift the dreaded orange peel dimples. It is found in patients of all weights, although it may be more noticeable on overweight patients. Nevertheless, it’s a problem that plagues even thin women and it occurs in 80-90% of post-adolescent females. There appears to be a hormonal component to its presentation and it is very rarely found on men.

Cellulite most commonly appear on the thighs and buttocks, although some patients also have cellulite on their arms and abdominal region.


Causes of Cellulite

Cellulite is caused by changes which take place far below the skin’s surface, these changes include the expansion of the fat cells in the hypodermal fat layer, which becomes thickened as a result, and the fact that the fibrous bands which connect the muscle and the skin become hardened and lose their flexibility when they contract.

This will result in the connective band pulling the skin down, causing cellulite’s dimpled effect and trapping pockets of fat, causing the trapped fat to bulge towards the skin’s surface. Unfortunately as these changes are happening below the skin’s surface and causing cellulite to appear, the skin is losing its elasticity because collagen production has slowed down and the skin becomes thinner, making cellulite appear even worse.

There are three biological factors which contribute to the development of cellulite; these are a thickened hypodermal fat layer, the depletion of collagen as we age and the hardening of the fibrous connective tissue septae.


Cellulite Structure

Cellulite is a condition in which the skin appears to have areas with underlying fat deposits, giving it a dimpled, lumpy appearance. These dimples are the enlarged pockets of fat that are pushed towards the skin’s surface by tight, inflexible connective tissue. It’s a problem that plagues even thin and young women.

Cellulite (also known as orange peel syndrome and cottage cheese skin) is the herniation of subcutaneous fat within fibrous connective tissues that manifests topographically as skin dimpling and nodularity, often on the pelvic region, lower limbs and abdomen.

These fibrous tissue strands extend through the dermal and hypodermal fat layers and connect to the underlying muscle layer.

In instances where cellulite is present the percentage of fibrous septae is higher than in patients with no cellulite, in cases where cellulite is present the fibrous septae contract and harden, holding the skin at an inflexible length, creating small pockets of fat and creating cellulite’s characteristic dimpled effect.


 Cellulite Reduction Treatments

Cellulite is not a skin condition which can be resolved by using creams to tone and tighten the skin.

At the London Medical and Aesthetic Clinic we pride ourselves in offering unique advanced Cellulite treatments including the revolutionary Cellulaze Laser, SmoothShapes Laser and Velashape radio frequency, which all have evidence-based proven, safe and outstanding long lasting results.


Cellulaze

Cellulaze Laser is the World’s First Aesthetic Laser with a minimally invasive surgical approach to treat cellulite beneath the surface of the skin for the long-term reduction of cellulite.

The Cellulaze laser is designed to diminish the lumpy pockets of fat, release the areas of skin depression and increase the elasticity and thickness of the skin. Usually patients require just one treatment.

The Cellulaze Laser system has a solid state Nd: YAG emitting light in the 1440-nm wavelength. As Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi explains: “Effective cellulite treatment means addressing the three structural causes of cellulite: fibrous septae, bulging pockets of fat and the natural thinning of the skin that occurs with aging.”

Cellulaze Laser treatment employs the 1440-nm wavelength along with the proprietary Sidelight 3D fiber, which directs laser energy precisely where needed to achieve long-lasting, effective results

Velashape

Velashape is one of the proven devices with breakthrough results as it treats both the deeper tissue and the upper layers of the skin, this results in a measurable reduction in fat layers, circumference and the appearance of cellulite and giving outstanding long lasting results in cellulite reduction which will be most apparent 6-8 weeks following the treatment and lasting up to 2 years.

VelaShape is the first and only non-surgical FDA-cleared medical device for the Body Reshaping and Cellulite Treatment. It has combined energies known as Elos which target and heat fatty tissues within the cellulite treatment area. In addition, the vacuum and tissue manipulation evens out the skin affected by cellulite to reveal a smoother, tighter figure.
