Cellulite Treatments Boston
Cellulite
is a common condition for many women. It affects many women over 40, but younger
women are also plagued by the "cottage cheese" look. Cellulite is characterized
by a 'dimpling' appearance on the thighs, buttocks and sometimes lower abdomen.
Cellulite
is present in both skinny & overweight women. However, individuals who are
over-fat will frequently have a more pronounced cellulite development, while those
with less fat and more muscular definition tend to have less visible cellulite.
Many
women seek cosmetic treatment for the condition in order to improve their appearance.
There are numerous creams on the market, but often these treatments are considered
ineffective. Some women consult plastic surgeons seeking Liposuction, but lipo
may actually worsen the appearance of cellulite.
However,
treatment options are available. Many doctors, dermatologist, and medical spas
in the Boston area are implementing new & exciting technologies to combat
this frustrating cosmetic nuisance.
Velasmooth
is a cosmetic procedure that uses radio frequency & infrared energy along
with suction to treat cellulite. So far, clinical studies of the Velasmooth procedure
have consistently demonstrated up to a 50% reduction in the appearance of cellulite
with the added benefit of lost inches. In the Boston area, Velasmooth is performed
by Dr. Christine Hamori at her medical facility in Duxbury. Also, residents in
Waltham can visit Spamedica for more information about Velasmooth.
The
Tri-Activ Cellulite Reduction procedure is another high tech option
for treating cellulite. The Tri-Active Laser treats cellulite
through the combined action of mechanical massage, localized cooling
and deep laser stimulation. The massage breaks up connective tissue
or the fatty deposits. The diode or the laser in the triactive
stimulates circulation to come and absorb that fatty tissue. CosMedica
in Wakefield, MA offers the Triactive treatment.
