V Shape Cellulite Treatment

Cellulite is a complex issue caused by multiple factors, manifesting as a skin surface resembling orange peel, primarily on the thighs and buttocks. It can also appear on the abdomen, arms, and other body parts. The “orange peel” description aptly illustrates cellulite because dimples or indentations appear on the skin’s surface.

Cellulite is a common issue among women, with nearly 80% of women experiencing it, while it is very rare in men. If men do exhibit cellulite, it often points to health issues such as obesity and hormonal imbalances. The reason lies in the structure of connective tissue. The connective tissue in men is differently constructed than in women. The fibers connecting the skin and muscles in women are aligned in one direction, whereas in men, they are dense and intertwined, maintaining adipose tissue in congruence.

This is a primary reason, but another significant factor is that women naturally undergo hormonal changes throughout their lives, which play a major role in the accumulation of water in subcutaneous tissue, drainage, and its effects on connective tissue. Of course, gender differences are not the only reason many women have cellulite, as a smaller percentage don’t have it and keep it under control. By “under control,” we refer to a lifestyle that prevents the onset of cellulite. Healthy habits like a balanced diet, physical activity, and non-smoking significantly reduce the possibility of cellulite.

However, even such a lifestyle isn’t a guarantee against its appearance. Genetic predisposition plays a significant role in cellulite development, with only some factors provoking its appearance. If it does appear, timely action is essential, as untreated cellulite can lead to inflammatory processes in the connective tissue, resulting in fibrosis, manifesting as skin surface irregularities and tissue contraction. Cellulite is often defined as a chronic inflammatory-degenerative disease of the connective tissue because, when the tissue is firm and healthy, cellulite isn’t visible on the skin’s surface.

A mere increase in fat cell volume isn’t the sole cause of cellulite but is a contributing factor. Generally, lymphatic obstruction and accumulation of water and toxins are the main culprits. A salt-rich diet, venous insufficiency, sedentary lifestyle, and hypothyroidism are common reasons for water accumulation. Weakened drainage and toxin accumulation induce inflammation and connective tissue damage, causing fat cells to protrude through the skin’s surface.

Cellulite treatment should be targeted based on its type, should have a drainage effect, strengthen the connective tissue, and, in fibrotic forms, break down or soften fibrosis. All of this indicates that treatment should be comprehensive, and professional help is essential because battling cellulite alone is often challenging and nearly impossible if it’s advanced.

The V Shape treatment is ideal for treating cellulite because it is comprehensive and adaptable to each cellulite type.
The integration of radiofrequency technology, infrared lasers, and endermology simultaneously through vacuum suction makes this treatment very safe and effective.

Radiofrequency controlledly heats the tissue to temperatures of 37-41°C, aiding collagen formation, strengthening the connective tissue, and skin tightening.

The infrared laser promotes deep circulation and drainage, nutrient and oxygen flow, and the elimination of harmful substances.

Endermology, a combination of vacuum and automatic rollers, mechanically massages and stimulates fat tissue, encouraging lipolysis and drainage. Vacuum suction of the skin and fat fold in the applicator ensures directed maximum energy of radiofrequency and infrared laser, plus maximum mechanical massage effect on fat tissue through rollers.

Treatment

A day before the treatment, it’s advisable to avoid very salty and spicy food. An hour before the treatment, eating is not allowed. The treatment is carried out using 2 or 3 probes, depending on the type of cellulite. During the treatment, clients feel a pleasant massaging pull and warmth. The treatment lasts 60 minutes and is repeated twice a week. The number of sessions depends on the cellulite type, stage, and the client’s dietary habits.

Candidates

Individuals over 18 who have cellulite, want to shape their bodies or tighten their skin are ideal candidates. However, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and those with malignancies, pacemakers, metal implants, venous thrombosis, fever, epilepsy, are contraindicated for the treatment.

Results

The result is immediately visible after the treatment in the form of tighter and smoother skin, and clients feel relief, especially in the legs. Results improve day by day, and it takes a month or two for the connective tissue to firm up, so the best and most complete results are seen one to two months post-treatment. Achieving excellent results requires multiple sessions, depending on the cellulite stage and the lifestyle of the treated individual.

Recovery

After treatment, you can immediately return to daily activities. Moreover, it’s advisable to increase physical activity. Lymph gets excreted through the kidneys, leading to more frequent urination, and the urine’s smell might intensify. It’s essential to drink more water and monitor your diet. It’s recommended to eliminate fatty, salty, and spicy foods, and simple sugars like candies, pastries, sodas, instant drinks, and alcohol.
