Cellulite Removal
The new FDA clearance for the TriActive LaserDermology System, a laser-based system for treating cellulite. The new laser system combines three proposed mechanisms of action: the rhythmic, suction and breaks up connective tissue that has been laid down in the process of cellulite formation. Once break up that connective tissue, the appearance of the skin smoother and tighter.

What Is Cellulite?
The term cellulite simply describes a pitting, bulging, and deformation of the skin caused by the over-inflation of fat cells from an increase in fat storage.  Cellulite usually appears on the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, calves, and arms, and is most common in women because their fat cells reside closer to the surface.  Genetics and insufficient water intake can also contribute to cellulite development.  More than 80% of women over the age of 20 years, regardless of their weight or size, are affected by cellulite.  Over the years different techniques have been used to try to improve cellulite.  These have included a variety of creams and lotions that promise a reduction in the appearance of cellulite, but generally have led to less than satisfactory results. Surgical removal has also not proved to be a popular approach. Newer methods, involving the use of lasers and laser-like technologies, such as the VelaSmooth and others, represent  non-invasive non-surgical methods of reducing cellulite and re-contouring the body to look smoother and firmer.

What Happens During Laser Cellulite Treatment?
During the procedure, the targeted cellulite fat cells are heated below the surface of the skin. This heat promotes better circulation to the local area, which may allow for more oxygen exchange for increased fat cell metabolism.  Following the delivery of heat, today's cellulite technology provides a vacuum action with deep tissue massage to the treated area.  This approach both mobilizes fat while at the same time stimulating the formation of new collagen.

What Will The Treatments Feel Like?
During the treatment you will feel a deep, soothing heat in the targeted area.  The treatment can be compared to the feeling of the sensation of finishing an intense workout or having a deep tissue massage.
