How Can I Get Rid of Cellulite?

Are you tired of lumpy, uneven skin on your thighs, hips, buttocks, or other body areas? Cellulite can cause insecurity due to valleys and fatty lumps in the legs or uneven skin texture in the abdomen. At Alamo Ranch, our staff is trained to treat cellulite in ways that dieting and exercise cannot. 

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is a harmless skin condition that causes lumpy, uneven flesh on the thighs, hips, buttocks, and abdomen. It is more common in women than men due to fat accumulation in the legs and buttocks. People describe the texture as similar to an orange peel with peaks and valleys.

What Causes Cellulite?

The cause of cellulite is unknown. It is known that it involves the fibrous connective cords tethering the skin to underlying muscles. Fat lies between the cords and the muscles. As the fat accumulates, it pushes against the skin while the long, tough cords pull down, creating an uneven surface.

Factors that contribute to the formation of cellulite include:

• Hormones
• Genetics
• Weight and muscle tone

Cellulite is a common sign of aging as the skin loses elasticity, particularly in women. The most common treatment areas are the thighs and buttocks, but they may form on the breasts, lower abdomen, or upper arms.

What is Cellutone®?

Cellutone® is a non-invasive, vibration-based treatment for cellulite. The vibrations combined with radiofrequency energy apply targeted pressure to the skin, smoothing and improving skin texture. The vibrations improve oxygen flow and microcirculation. Combined with moderate exercise, this treatment uses the lymphatic system to drain away excess fluid that causes the lumpy and uneven appearance of cellulite. 

What is Cellutone® Treatment Like?

You will sit in a position that allows the technician to apply the vibration wand over the targeted area. You’ll feel vibrations, but there is no pain or discomfort. Some patients reported similarities to a hot stone massage. The pressure, however, is not intense enough to hurt, and the RF energy is at tolerable temperatures. 

Cellutone® combines well with other body sculpting techniques for optimal results in multiple treatment areas. 

Results of Cellutone®

Cellutone® does not permanently remove cellulite. Instead, it improves the appearance of the fatty legs or buttocks with improved circulation and oxygenation. After four 20-minute appointments, you should see gradual improvement over the next few months. 

Results are long lasting and most people can expect a noticeable improvement in the appearance of their cellulite for several months. The gentle, non-invasive nature of the treatment allows for easy returns for maintenance treatments. With regular treatments, you can maintain smoother, less dimpled skin.  

Am I a Good Candidate for Cellutone®?

Since it is a gentle, non-ablative treatment, almost anyone is a good candidate for Cellutone®. Cellutone® is a safe and well-tolerated treatment for cellulite. If you have dimpling on your skin that bothers you, contact Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics to find out more about Cellutone®.
