60 Cellulite Treatment
About Despite the fact that cellulite is not considered a disease, but purely a cosmetic problem, it is very common among post pubertal women. It is a
non inflammatory, degenerative condition where the adipose tissue and microcirculation in the hypodermis alters and causes fibrosclerosis in
the connective tissue. The skin gets an “orange peel” appearance.
Cellulite appears in 3 stages:
Stage I : “Orange peel appearance on pinching the skin”
Stage II : “Orange peel appearance visible when standing”
Stage III: “Orange peel skin while standing and lying down”
Treatment Use enough coupling gel in the area to ensure good transmission. Always move the hand piece in the direction of the lymph flow. A 3-5 minute
session with V-ACTOR® massage after a treatment, is recommended*.
Where Treat the affected areas like buttocks and thighs.
Dosage Use more pulses and higher energy levels for more severe stages of cellulite, but be sure that a session never is painful for the client. 8-12
treatment sessions in total, 1-2 times a week. Always let the body rest 2-3 days between treatments.
