Regional fat deposits and cellulite are the most common problems women complain about. Sometimes, no matter how much weight is lost, the appearance of regional fats and cellulite remains constant and begins to stand out even more with the arrival of the summer season. Today, we can benefit from mesotherapy in the treatment of cellulite, which is seen in various degrees in 85% of women. Mesotherapy prevents the formation of edema in the tissue by correcting the microcirculation, breaks down the fat and reduces the fat nodules. It improves the appearance of cellulite by restructuring the damaged connective tissue.
WHAT IS CELLULITE?
Cellulite is the formation of orange peel appearance on the skin as a result of deterioration in subcutaneous fat and connective tissue for various reasons.
WHY CELLULITE IS MORE COMMON IN WOMEN?
In women, while the fat cells under the skin run parallel to the skin, the connective tissue bonds that separate these cells are positioned vertically. These ligaments shorten over time due to reasons such as estrogen, genetic structure and inactivity. This shortening of the ligaments causes the skin to collapse, and the slipping of the fat cells to the skin causes protrusions and thus a bumpy orange peel appearance.
It most commonly occurs in the hips, legs, lower abdomen, but can also be seen in the arms.
In addition to genetic and hormonal factors in the development of cellulite, unbalanced diet rich in fat and carbohydrates, sedentary life, smoking, alcohol use, tight clothing and high-heeled shoes preferences are also blamed for negatively affecting circulation.
HOW IS CELLULITE TREATED?
We inject mesotherapy cocktails consisting of a mixture of active ingredients such as phosphatidylcholine, L carnitine, organic silicon, caffeine, melilot extract, which have been shown to be effective in the pathophysiology of cellulite, with the help of very fine needles. We can combine this application, which we mostly perform with a mesotherapy gun, with devices consisting of a combination of radiofrequency, vacuum and infrared. With the help of devices, we both stimulate lymph drainage and increase collagen and elastin synthesis with the help of controlled heat caused by radiofrequency and infrared energies, tightening the skin, reducing the appearance of fluctuations and helping to recover sagging.
The acquisition of balanced eating habits will potentiate the effect of the treatment that we will apply regular and continuous exercise.
IS CELLULITE MESOTHERAPY EFFECTIVE IN CELLULITE TREATMENT?
One of the most effective methods of cellulite treatment is cellulite mesotherapy. Mesotherapy is a medium skin treatment. Drugs taken by mouth or injection into the body cannot reach sufficient concentrations in the problematic tissue and may create the potential for systemic side effects. Mesotherapy, on the other hand, is a procedure performed with small injections into the problem area. It provides the opportunity to apply the therapeutic dose of the drug to the problem area without the risk of systemic side effects.
WHAT DOES CELLULITE MESOTHERAPY DO?
Mesotherapy prevents the formation of edema in the tissue by correcting the microcirculation, breaks down the fat and reduces the fat nodules. It improves the appearance of cellulite by restructuring the damaged connective tissue.
IS CELLULITE MESOTHERAPY PAINFUL? ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OF CELLULITE MESOTHERAPY?
In cellulite mesotherapy, the pain felt is very low. The transfer of the injected drug into the systemic circulation is negligible. In cellulite mesotherapy, the slight redness that occurs during the procedure and the bruises that may occur after the procedure are completely temporary.
HOW MANY SESSIONS SHOULD CELLULITE MESOTHERAPY BE?
In cellulite mesotherapy, the number of sessions is determined according to the stage of cellulite and the structural characteristics of the people to be treated. 4-10 sessions of treatment are required once a week. It is possible to get rid of cellulite with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and cellulite mesotherapy repeated at certain intervals.
