  1. What Is Cellulite? Refers to the popular description of the uneven, bumpy, “orange peel”, or “cottage cheese” appearance of the thighs, buttocks, and breast of post pubertal women

  2. Main Factors Responsible for Cellulite • Gender – women most common, however men can have it • Diet, exercise, water intake, high stress and tension levels • Hormonal changes at puberty, pregnancy, menopause, as well as contraceptives and estrogen levels • Heredity, medications, health conditions

  3. Cellulite Grading Grading Skin Appearance Scale 0 No dimpling-smooth skin 1 Few number of small, shallow, visible dimples, separately located on the thighs 2 Moderate number of visible dimples on thighs 3 Large number of visible dimples over most of the thigh 4 Cottage cheese appearance on skin

  4. Adipose Tissue • A specialized tissue with fat- containing cells • Found between and around: - Nerves - Muscles - Organs • Has own blood supply

  5. Adipose Tissue (Fat) Structure Fat almost always lines the skin and it is found between the skin and superficialis

  9. Endermologie - LPG • A non-invasive technique – no downtime, resume normal activities after treatment • The LPG Technique is one of a kind • A uniquely designed motorized device with two adjustable rollers and controlled suction • It gently folds and unfolds the skin and targets the problem areas symmetrically • Specific maneuvers are performed

  10. Endermologie -LPG • Smooth and deep tissue motions reduces the thickness of the subcutaneous fatty layer which increases blood flow and lymphatic drainage • The results are smoothing the interface layer between the dermis and hypodermis • Increases local blood circulation stimulating the connective tissue, results are plumping the skin layers

  11. How RF Works • By passing currents – displacement of charged particles • By rotation of water particles

  12. Current Flow • Heating depends on current flow and resistance of tissue: • The higher the current, the greater the heating effect • The smaller the area, the greater the heating effect • The higher the tissue resistance, the greater the heating effect

  13. Clinical Treatments • Cellulite • Body contouring • Skin tightening • Circumference reduction
