When the skin appears dimpled and irregular, it causes an unsightly display termed cellulite. While this is true for both men and women, this is especially frustrating for women who always thrive to be slim with smooth and glowing skin. The unfortunate fact is that women are most likely to have this condition.
Thanks to the great technological breakthrough in cosmetic surgeries. The doctors can now treat cellulite following energy-based procedures. Radiofrequency treatment is one such process that is becoming predominant. It can penetrate deep into the skin for cellulite removal to rectify the orange peel look of the skin.
What takes place?
The doctor or the health care provider draws a grid on the skin to mark the affected area. A gel is then applied before starting the procedure. This helps in two ways: lubricate and create a barrier between the RF device and skin. The hand-piece is then moved across the affected area for about 30 minutes. A soothing gel is also applied after completing the treatment. Some clinics also use a numbing gel to start the process.
How do radiofrequency treatments work?
It targets the fat cells and enhances collagen production. When driven deep into the skin through hand-pieces, it kills the fat cells that are flushed out of the body through our lymphatic system. Increased collagen production also helps to reduce the bumps and dimples. Thus, there is an overall improvement in skin condition.
