What is the Ideal Treatment for Cellulite on the Thighs?
Written by Mia Alexander
Cellulite on the thighs is a common problem among women. Seen as unsightly dimples, it is not related to your weight – you can have cellulite even if you are thin. Creams, massage, and even liposuction are recommended as remedies. But the problem with these fixes is that they are only temporary solutions as they address only the surface of the skin. However, the ideal treatment for cellulite on the thighs has arrived: Cellulaze from industry leader Cynosure is the world’s first one time treatment for cellulite. The technology uses laser energy to precisely target the structure of cellulite and is continuing to impress both physicians and patients with its amazing and long-lasting results.
How Cellulaze Treatment is Unique
To understand how this revolutionary FDA approved treatment works and how it’s different from other remedies, you have to first know what causes that cottage-cheese look on your thighs. Cellulite forms in the fat layers beneath the skin. Fibrous tissue appears as vertical bands and surrounds the fat cells. Aging, hormonal changes, weight gain and other factors cause these bands to become rigid. They pull down on the skin, making the fat bulge upwards. The result is lumpy, dimpled skin that we call cellulite.
Cellulaze cellulite reduction surgery is unique because it addresses all the three issues associated with cellulite –trapped pockets of fat, fibrous bands of tissue, and thin skin which makes cellulite easily visible.
One treatment takes just 1-1.5 hours. The plastic surgeon marks the treatment area on your thighs, injects an anesthetic into the spot, and makes a few tiny incisions. The cannula with SideLight side-firing laser fiber is passed under the skin in various directions. The laser energy melts the fat, cuts the rigid fibers, and works to encourage collagen to thicken the skin and improve elasticity. The advanced work station’s temperature setting allows the control of the laser energy delivered so that it does not exceed the right temperature.
Results are seen almost immediately as the disruption of the fat cells makes the skin look tighter. Cellulaze is also ideal because it is minimally invasive, safe, and involves minimal downtime.
The Right Surgeon for the Best Results
While cellulite laser treatment is the ideal treatment for cellulite on the thighs, the best results are ensured only with the right surgeon. Locate a Cellulaze trained physician at an AAAASF-accredited surgical center. Make sure the surgeon has experience in performing the procedure. If you have excess fat on your thighs, check out if you can have liposuction too along with your cellulite removal surgery.
