How Does Cellulite Form?

Cellulite can be frustrating to get rid of, and diet and exercise alone are typically unable to treat it. If you find cellulite hinders your confidence and topical creams and treatments are not delivering the results that you desire, look no further than Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics. We offer a variety of personalized treatments to help you finally diminish your cellulite. 

How Does Cellulite Form?

Cellulite is a collection of fat that pushes up against the connective tissues underneath the skin, causing an uneven or dimpled-looking surface. Though the direct cause of cellulite is unknown, several factors that may lead to cellulite formation are:

• Genetics
• Hormones
• Age
• Weight and muscle tone
• Lifestyle
• Weight gain
• Pregnancy

You are more likely to experience cellulite as you age since your skin will begin to lose its elasticity. Anyone of any age or body type can experience cellulite, though it is more prevalent in women.

How Can I Treat Cellulite?

Cellulite can be bothersome and difficult to remedy. That is why at Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics, we offer personalized body contouring procedures to help our clients diminish the appearance of cellulite and take back their confidence. 

Cellutone®

Cellutone® is a non-invasive procedure that treats cellulite through vibrational energy.

The vibrational frequencies utilized by Cellutone® increases the flow of oxygen to the tissues and circulation, smoothing the area it treats. 

VelaShape® III

VelaShape® III is an FDA-cleared procedure that reduces the appearance of cellulite and the circumference of the abdomen and thighs. VelaShape® III utilizes three types of energy; infrared light, radiofrequency energy, and vacuum suction to firm and tighten collagen, giving the treatment area a sculpted appearance. 

As the suction from Velashape® III stimulates the skin and connective tissue, it breaks down separate, fibrous bands that push fat to the skin’s surface, which causes the lumpy appearance of cellulite.

What Results Can I Expect with Cellulite Treatment?

Body contouring provides many benefits beyond just the reduction of cellulite. VelaShape® III can smooth and diminish the appearance of cellulite while also sculpting the treatment area. With Cellutone®, you can continue to see improvements in your cellulite over a few months. Cellutone® can be combined with other forms of body sculpting to help you optimize your desired results.

How Long Does Cellulite Treatment Last?

Though the results of Cellutone® and VelaShape® III are not permanent, they can last several months. With Cellutone®, you can come in for maintenance treatment once you see that your cellulite is returning.
