Cellulite is one of the main problems of modern women in Moscow. The style of modern life does not fit into the unaesthetic lumpiness on the hips, and therefore we have to pay the most serious attention to getting rid of cellulite.

All three branches of beauty science have their own anti-cellulite products. Plastic medicine approaches the treatment of cellulite radically, creating the opportunity to get rid of it along with the subcutaneous layer of fat during surgical liposuction.

Despite all the difficulties and possible risks of surgical intervention, this method has one indisputable advantage: the “orange peel” will never return. Fat cells, once removed, do not appear again.

Aesthetic cosmetology helps to cope with cellulite through special programs:

• anti-cellulite seaweed wraps
• "Biogeni" techniques
• various types of mesotherapy for the body or ultrasound therapy.

Benefit

Coffee peeling When cells die, they cannot separate from the skin on their own and stick together, turning into a kind of shell that covers the entire body. The skin stops breathing, which interferes with the normal circulation of blood and lymph in the tissues, as a result, cellulite occurs. Peeling can free the skin from excess scales. In addition, the epidermis is nourished with beneficial substances contained in peeling mixtures. This procedure can be carried out no more than twice a week. Please note that different mixtures are used for the body and face. After the procedure, the skin gets rid of oily shine, fine wrinkles, and acquires a pleasant and even color. After several sessions, acne marks, scars, age spots and freckles will become less noticeable. Exfoliation also works well on blackheads. Cosmetology centers use special mixtures, an alternative to which can be prepared at home. Homemade remedies have certain benefits. As a rule, they are prepared on a natural basis, using natural ingredients. Also, home peeling is not so aggressive on the skin. If you regularly use homemade mixtures, the effect will be the same as from salon products.

Wide range of techniques

Hardware cosmetology offers the widest selection of techniques. Cellulite is an indication for the use of such a popular innovative technology as Thermage, which can effectively smooth and rejuvenate the skin of the body.

Good afternoon! A long time ago, when your clinic was still in the center of Moscow, on Skatherny, if I’m not mistaken, I did several procedures with you, including dermabrasion with a sandblasting machine and celluloliposis, I think that’s what it was called. Now I don’t find such services from you. Tell me, do you no longer do this kind of dermabrasion?

Question from 02/26/2018 / Olga

I want to not only remove fat, but also tighten the muscles in my stomach, and also remove the “orange peel.” Is there a procedure that will do this at the same time, so as not to waste time and money on a bunch of different manipulations?

Good afternoon Tell us your point of view regarding the effectiveness of shock wave therapy for the treatment of cellulite. Indeed, 5 sessions of 7 minutes each are enough and the problem will be solved (as some advertising booklets say)

Hello, Marina! This technique is used in the treatment of cellulite, however, the number of procedures, their duration and intensity of exposure depend on the stage of the disease. Sincerely, Natalia Imaeva

Question from 06/19/2017 / Maria

Good afternoon Tell me, does the Bodysculptor device fight cellulite? Or is it just for weight loss? Which device (or procedure) most effectively combats these problems simultaneously? Maybe a seaweed wrap?

Hello !

Procedures using the Bodysculptor device not only reduce the patient’s weight, but also treat cellulite by ensuring lymph circulation, breakdown and removal of lipids. This ensures normal nutrition of dermal cells and helps in the fight against cellulite; the SlimUp procedure also has a good anti-cellulite effect, improving muscle tone and smoothing the surface of the skin. Prescribing the procedure that is most effective in your case is possible only during a personal consultation with a specialist.

Sincerely, Natalia Imaeva

Kinds

All peeling mixtures are divided according to the depth of impact on the skin and the method of exposure. Thus, peeling happens:

• Surface

This type of peeling is considered the most common; it keeps the skin fresh and gives it a healthy appearance. This cleansing is done with shower gel or cream peeling, which contain abrasives. Popular mixtures for such peeling are coffee and salt.

• Median

It destroys all layers of the skin, which can lead to serious consequences. This procedure is performed only in cosmetic centers. This type of peeling is done on areas that require correction. Cryopilling and laser peeling work well for stretch marks and marks from acne or pimples.

• Deep

It is used in rare cases to get rid of scars, cicatrices and very prominent age spots. This type of peeling is done in specialized salons and only in the form of applications. These include cryopilling, laser peeling, peeling with trichloroacetic acid and phenol. According to the method of action on the skin they are divided into:

• Mechanical

This type of cleansing includes various cosmetics that contain abrasive substances. These are microgranules of polyethylene or cellulose, microcrystals of sugar or salt, as well as apricot or cherry kernels and ground coffee beans. The skin is cleared of old cells in the same way as a surface that is cleaned with sandpaper. This type of peeling also includes various sponges, brushes, brushing and peeling with exotic fish.

• Chemical

The procedure uses chemical compounds such as peptides, acids and enzymes. If you apply a peel to the entire body, it will be very expensive, so you usually get by with applying the product only to problem areas, such as the buttocks, abdomen, thighs or feet.

• Hardware

It is performed using special devices - producing special cold to freeze the skin, a laser, a stream of oxygen, an ultrasonic wave generator or a gas-liquid mixture. As a rule, this procedure is done in certain areas. The expression “deep skin cleansing” is often used in advertising. This means superficial or medium body peeling for cellulite, but not deep. It is used only in extreme cases.

The most effective treatments for cellulite

“Orange peel” is a cosmetic defect that appears due to impaired lipolysis and lipogenesis. It can also be caused by poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle.
As practice shows, following a diet and regularly visiting the gym does not always help to achieve the expected result, and even with such an integrated approach, the skin on the thighs still remains lumpy.

Only salon procedures for cellulite will help you completely get rid of this problem, each of which differs in its mechanism of action and has certain advantages and disadvantages.

Hardware

The most popular among the fair sex are hardware methods for eliminating excess fat. They allow you to achieve results in the shortest possible time, and in most cases are painless.

The most effective anti-cellulite procedures in this group are:

• LPG massage . The technique is based on vacuum-vibration effects. A special applicator equipped with massage attachments is brought to problem areas, which begin to work after turning on the device. At the same time, negative pressure is created, due to which blood circulation is activated, and more micronutrients begin to flow to the tissues. Additional vibrations also stimulate blood circulation and lymph outflow, which leads to increased elimination of toxins and waste, as well as the release of excess fluid. After completing a full course, the skin will become more toned and elastic, the lumpy appearance will almost disappear;
• electrolipolysis . The technique is based on the effect of low-frequency current on tissue, which stimulates beta receptors and activates the process of breakdown of fat cells. Electrolipolysis also improves metabolism and the production of enzymes that break down the membranes between fat cells. Under the influence of electric current, the local temperature rises. Because of this, blood flow accelerates and the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to tissues improves;
• ultrasound therapy. This anti-cellulite procedure gradually replaces massage. Unlike most similar techniques, it has a complex effect: it accelerates regeneration, improves cellular nutrition and stimulates fat burning. The positive effect of its use is achieved due to the oscillation of ultrasonic waves, which have a constant effect on fat cells. The undoubted advantage of ultrasound therapy is that it restores the structure of altered collagen and elastin fibers, which leads to increased skin elasticity;
• cryolipolysis . The procedure is carried out using special metal plates that capture problem areas. Next, the cold comes into play. Under the influence of low temperatures, the body begins to break down its own fat cells to obtain energy, and the volumes begin to decrease rapidly;
• electrical stimulation . The technique is carried out using a special apparatus that stimulates the contraction of skeletal and smooth muscles under the influence of a modulated current. All this leads to acceleration of blood flow and lymph outflow, due to which interstitial fluid is removed.

To achieve the best result, it is recommended to take a full course, which usually consists of 8-12 sessions. The optimal number of procedures is selected by the doctor, taking into account the severity of cellulite.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW ! All hardware procedures for cellulite have contraindications, so they can only be done after consultation with a doctor.

Manual

The manual method of eliminating cellulite also remains relevant. Despite the fact that anti-cellulite massage appeared several centuries ago, today many women prefer it.

A high-quality anti-cellulite massage performed by a professional is not only effective, but is also guaranteed not to cause complications, since the master can control the degree of impact.

The positive effect of massage is achieved by accelerating the blood in the problem area and accelerating the outflow of lymph.

Anti-cellulite massage can be carried out using essential oils, special creams, and also with cupping.

It is worth noting that corrective massage is quite painful and often leaves bruises. This procedure is strictly contraindicated for pregnant women and women with varicose veins.

Injectable

Anti-cellulite procedures in the salon, which are carried out using injections, will help achieve a positive result in the shortest possible time and at the same time improve the health of the skin. But many women refuse such treatment due to fear of injections and pain.

1. Mesotherapy. A special cocktail is injected under the patient’s skin, which is prepared taking into account the individual characteristics of the body. More often, the active ingredients are vasodilators, vitamins, hyaluronic acid, lipolytics and collagen. The result of mesotherapy is visible almost immediately, since the cocktail is injected directly into the problem area.
2. Oxygen-ozone therapy. The method is based on the introduction of pure oxygen with synthesized ozone under the skin. This cocktail not only saturates tissues with oxygen, but also improves blood circulation and also reduces its viscosity. After completing the course, the subcutaneous tissue becomes more homogeneous, the lumpiness is smoothed out, and the “orange peel” becomes almost invisible.

Typically, a course of injection techniques against cellulite also consists of 8–10 sessions.

Preparation

Before you start peeling at home, you need to understand what type of skin you have. Based on this, you can understand what peeling products to use and how often to do it. For example, dry skin is usually prone to peeling and various irritations; peeling for such skin is best done once every 1.5-2 weeks. Normal skin can withstand cleaning once a week, and oily skin - twice a week. To achieve the maximum effect from the procedure, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work. The first step is to steam your skin by taking a hot bath or shower with or without detergents. This is done so that the pores are ready for the procedure. Skin cleansing products are prepared exclusively before the session. It is not recommended to make the composition in advance, as it may lose its properties. Apply the mixture to steamed, damp skin using gentle massage movements. The mixture can be rubbed in with your palms or using a special brush or mittens. The composition is left on the skin for 5-10 minutes. After this time, the mixture is washed off under running cool water. The body should be blotted with a towel and a nourishing cream should be applied.
