Cellulitis is an important source of complex women. How to get rid of them? What techniques are available that could eliminate those unsightly fatty areas?

1) Cellulite fat: it is generally round in women who had taken a little weight.

2) Cellulite with water retention: it is often women who have thin legs but very heavy coated. The whole leg is affected. This water retention is due to insufficient lymphatic.

3) The fibrous cellulite: the genetic origin, affecting women rather slim, even sporting events. The cellulite is dense, painful and very localized. We find the typical locations of cellulite women.



Whatever the type of cellulite is a complex source of women and a very common reason for consultation. But for now we are not so strong in this area but manage to still get some degree of improvement. We are testing many new techniques and now we are even to combine these treatments to enhance results.

Against liposuction cellulite

With regard to cellulite, the reference is liposuction. This treatment is often invasive (surgery with hospitalization and anesthesia), but quite effective. Liposuction is aimed at young women. 30-35 years past, it is less recommended because of skin slackening (remove the fat without skin tension does not always result aesthetics). Contrary to popular belief, you should know that cellulite removed by liposuction is not there. They have taken a capital fat that can not recover. The treatment of each area is final. However, be erratic results, hence the interest to choose a surgeon well experienced.

Laser cellulite and lipolysis

This technique is less invasive and the only local anesthesia. Different wavelengths combined (1064nm, 1320nm, 980nm) are used. It introduces a fine needle that will produce heat and destroy fat cells. Lipolysis laser coagulates at the same time the surrounding blood vessels, thus reducing the blue and the risk of bruising. Laser lipolysis has this very powerful, it also boosts collagenèse, which promotes the retraction of the skin.

This works particularly well for small fat overload of Quarantine with a small skin slackening. Thus, in the absence of skin slackening (young women), is liposuction which is recommended, but in the presence of a slackening skin, it is preferable to turn to laser lipolysis.

Ultrasound to help the cellulite

They can be applied internally or externally. Internally, they seem very effective, but the technique is not well codified. Externally, they are a little disappointing, but this technique is a way forward.

Radiofrequency against cellulite

This technique uses electromagnetic waves that pass between the poles. The octopolaire (between 8 poles) gives a better efficiency than the bi-or tripolar. As for the laser lipolysis and internal ultrasound, radiofrequency adipocytes definitively destroyed by heat. The heat will also be able to stimulate the synthesis of collagen in the dermis.

The carboxythérapie to fight against cellulite

It involves injecting CO2, which weakens the wall of adipocytes, which eventually burst. This gives good results in volume with a certain degree of skin retraction. The current trend is actually based on this dual action. Indeed, an area that is thinning, but it is also necessary to tension the skin for a good aesthetic result.

The mesotherapy, another technique against cellulite

There are other techniques that, they do not destroy fat cells. This is the case with mesotherapy. Little used in France, mesotherapy can be used to clear the cell of its fat content. The disadvantage is that the result is not definitive.

The endodermologie against cellulite

This technique is particularly effective in cases of retention of water because it helps clear the edema. It is based on a kind of massage performed by a physiotherapist with a machine.
Liposuction cellulite is fat. It can also be used against the fibrous cellulite but the results can be a little worse.

Lipolysis laser is designed specifically to fibrous cellulite, and a little cellulite with water retention.

Radiofrequency carboxythérapie and can play on the three types of cellulite.

Endermologie is especially reserved for cellulite with water retention.

Finally, mesotherapy is mainly indicated in case of slackening skin. It plays on the retention of water and a little on the fibrocellulite, but not on the cellulite fat.
