Do you have cellulite buildup on your thighs or buttocks you would like to get rid of? According to "The Cellulite Solution: A Doctor's Program for Losing Lumps, Bumps, Dimples, and Stretch Marks" by Dr. Howard Murad M.D., approximately 90 percent of all women have at least some cellulite. Of these, the vast majority are looking for an effective cellulite treatment. Studies indicate that eliminating the unsightly bumps and dimples caused by excessive amounts of cellulite is one of the top issues with today's women.
How Cellulite Creates an Unsightly Appearance?
Cellulite is a form of fat which attaches itself to the connective tissues in the middle layers of a person's skin. When this happens, the cellulite pulls on the skin, doing so more in some areas than others. This results in the uneven or dimpled appearance of the skin. This unnatural appearance is why so many women and men spend so much time and money searching for a cellulite treatment. They want one which will not only get rid of the excess buildup of fat, but will help to restore the smooth, youthful, and natural appearance of their skin. This is something that very few of the different types of cellulite treatment can successfully achieve.
Laser Cellulite Treatment
In February of 2012, a new form of laser cellulite treatment received approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is considered to be a surgical procedure and as such underwent a full two years of clinical trials before the FDA would give its approval. According to cosmetic surgeons, this new procedure may in fact be one of the best ways to get rid of cellulite available today.
• One reason this form of cellulite treatment is considered to be so effective by many, is that not only does it eliminate the excess fat cells, but as long as you follow the recommended diet and exercise program, they will not come back.
How Does this Cellulite Treatment Work?
Bear in mind that using a laser for cellulite treatment is in fact considered to be a surgical procedure. You will experience bruising and pain with this treatment. Those areas treated will become red and may be painfully swollen in the areas surrounding the locations of the incisions made by the surgeon. You may also experience some bleeding from the incisions, and you will need to wear compression garments covering these areas for a period of time to ensure complete healing.
• As part of the cellulite treatment, the surgeon will use the laser tool to melt the pockets of excessive fat where they have bulged into the mid-layer of skin. This is to eliminate the bulges under your skin. The laser will also cut the fat from the connective tissues, this releases them so that they no longer pull on the skin, creating unsightly dimples. Finally the procedure is designed to stimulate the body into producing more elastin and collagen, which adds thickness to the skin and gives it a more youthful appearance.
Expense and Success
As this new procedure is being advertised as one of the best ways to get rid of cellulite, it only stands to reason that it would also be one of the most expensive forms of cellulite treatment currently on the market. Average costs are currently (as of 2013) estimated at between $7,000 and $10,000, depending on where the treatment is performed and how extensive the buildup of cellulite has become. Success rates are currently estimated to be in the range of 90 to 95 percent.
As long as the person who has undergone this form of cellulite treatment maintains a healthy lifestyle and diet, the results are considered to be permanent. However the procedure is still relatively new and has not been around long enough for long term studies to have been completed.
