Cellulite!  It’s the bane of many women’s existence (90% of them in fact) and you don’t need to be fat to have it!  Cellulite is those dimpled areas that appear on your thighs, hips, and buttocks.  It can also happen on your stomach, and your upper arms.  If you eat a lot of fat and carbohydrates, and not enough fiber, don’t exercise enough, spend a lot of time sitting or standing, and smoke you’re in the high risk bracket.

Why do 9 times as many women as men get cellulite?

It has to do with the subcutaneous structural differences between men and women.  In women, the upper fatty part of the subcutaneous layer is thick with large radial fat cell chambers relatively free of connective tissue.  This fatty tissue can bulge upwards into the overlying skin, causing the typical cellulite pitting and bulging.  Men on the other hand have a much narrower fat layer and a thicker dermis than women.  Their subcutaneous connective tissue also criss-crosses through the fat cell chambers, dividing them up into much smaller units.  It creates a strong connective tissue network through the fat layer that combined with their thicker skin, prevents fat cells in men from bulging upwards and causing cellulite.

Tri-Active LaserDermology Cellulite Treatment

Cellulite is also exceptionally stubborn to shift too.  It doesn’t seem to matter how much we exercise, or diet, it just doesn’t move.  Enter cellulite-removing treatments like Tri-Active LaserDermology.  This is an FDA approved treatment that involves the use of a laser to promote circulation, stimulate collagen production, and reduce inflammation.  Another great thing about Tri-Active LaserDermology is that it also works well for massaging minor aches and pains in muscle tissue!

As you’d suppose with a name like ‘Tri-Active’, this method of cellulite reduction employs 3 different mechanisms.  It applies heat, which stimulates microcirculation.  It also cools to reduce inflammation, and massages to break up connective tissue and promote better drainage via the lymphatic system.  However, it does take a number of sessions before you’ll see a noticeable difference.  Most people report at least 6 to 10 before they really start to see things happening.

How many sessions you’ll require overall also depends on a number of factors – age, diet, exercise, overall health, the area requiring treatment and so on.  Ten to 12 sessions per area being treated is not uncommon.  These can be done once a week, or can be as frequent as 3 times a week.  It’s important to note that once you’ve achieved the desired results, you will need a monthly session to maintain them.  It also works a lot better when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.  No surprises there!

Tri-Active LaserDermology is also painless; most patients agree that it feels great.  However, it isn’t advised for pregnant women or people with bronchial or acute asthma, congestive heart failure, thrombophlebitis, hyper-thyroidism, carotid sinus syndrome or disorders of the lower abdomen.
