Cellulite Treatment
EMS
Cellulite mostly occurs in the area of the hips and thighs. The so-called orange peel skin is caused by a group of saturated fat cells that are stored under the skin and thus cause deformations. The regular use of electrostimulation with a suitable machine can help to reduce cellulite and, if necessary, even help to eliminate it. Massages with electrostimulation have a draining and muscle-building effect without effort. On the other hand, electrostimulation helps to prevent the appearance of fat cells and make cellulite disappear. Besides its efficiency, it has several advantages: it is practically painless.
What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is produced by an accumulation of adiposity (fat) in the subcutaneous tissue of different areas of the body. Mainly affects the lower part of the body, being glutes, abdomen, hips and thighs the most affected areas.
The causes of appearance of cellulite are different in each woman, since they are the most prone due to hormonal factors, among other reasons.
Thus, we can say that this accumulation of fat is mainly due to:
-
Poor circulation, as it prevents the elimination of toxins and the accumulation of that fat in the deeper layers of the skin.
-
Sport is essential to activate the circulation and metabolism of these fat cells. If you do not move, cellulite will eventually appear or worsen.
-
Genetic factors: Generally, genetics is an important factor, but it also serves as a warning to take better care of your eating habits and to start exercising.
-
Nutrition: Eating greasy, caloric foods with a high sodium content (salt) causes the emergence of cellulite. The retention of liquids and the appearance of edemas, are closely related to it, so is important to follow a healthy diet.
-
Hormonal factors: High levels of estrogen, which women present at certain stages of their lives (puberty, pregnancy, menopause) are closely related to orange peel skin. In this case, its appearance is inevitable, but it can always be treat with physical activity, electrostimulation and adequate nutrition.
-
Stress, influences our circulation and slows down the elimination of toxins. It is, therefore, another of the conditioning factors.
-
Alcohol and tobacco: The more toxins you put into your body and the more obstacles you put in for their natural expulsion, the worse the problem will be. Both alcohol and tobacco produce these toxins and affect blood circulation.
-
Improper clothing: The use of too tight clothes, as well as shoes with a high heel as usual, worsen the venous return and circulation, producing edema and dreaded cellulite.
All these factors that influence the appearance or increase of that roughness in the skin, can occur in any type of woman. As of puberty, all are prone regardless of whether or not they are overweight.
How does EMS work?
RF Skin Tightening works by gradually heating the dermal and subdermal tissue to tighten and re-contour both superficially and volumetrically. Collagen fibres contract and multiply which firms and improves sagging skin and smoothes away unsightly cellulite. Connective tissue contracts to improve skin’s contour, texture and shape. Finally circulation is improved which improves redness and overall volume. One to three inches can be reduced after 3-6 treatments, with excellent long-term results.
Our therapist will precisely heat an area of the inner layer of your skin using radio frequency technology. As the dermis is heated, a natural reaction occurs that promotes the creation of new collagen, while simultaneously releasing toxins in the fat and draining retained fluids. This gives your skin back its smoothness, shape and elasticity with no anethesia or long recovery time.
How long do EMS sessions last?
Since the procedure is customized according to an individual's needs, it might take longer for some than others. However, from the very first treatment, collagen fibres are contracted, giving an instant firmer and more toned appearance. Normally a course of 6 sessions is advised to achieve and maintain optimal results. Each session is around 30 to 45 minutes. The body takes some time to produce collagen, so the full benefits of RF may take some time (anywhere from 4-12 weeks) to show.
