New Hope for Cellulite

FDA CLEARANCE PENDING LASER CELLULITE TREATMENT DELIVERS RESULTS LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF THE REST

Tri-Active LaserDermology (SM) is the result of the newest technology incorporating three different methods (Triple Action) for restoring a normal balance to the skin and outer layers, including smoothing and tightening. This Triple Action treatment is designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite through the combined action of mechanical massage, localized cooling and deep laser stimulation. The Cellulite Endermologie Center in Manhattan is one of the first facilities to possess this new treatment that is FDA clearance pending in the US. As the center’s director Paulette Long explains, “The primary reasons for cellulite are related to prolonged inflammatory response and insufficient circulation. These three mechanisms work together to optimize results.” LaserDermology (SM) can be used for the following applications: Cellulite treatment

Pre and post-liposuction

Facial smoothing

Body smoothing

Enhancing microcirculation

Therapeutic massage

Function

The Triple Action technology employs deep laser action from six diode lasers that enhance microcirculation. The treatment’s mechanical massage brings deep massaging and stimulating action on the subcutaneous tissue, which may result in a tighter appearance in the treated areas. This can be particularly noticeable when the treatments are done before and after liposuction procedures. The system’s localized cooling aids in smoothing the appearance of cellulite. Smoothing and tightening can be accomplished in most areas of the body, including the face. These benefits are enhanced when combined with a healthy diet (including sufficient fluid intake) and exercise (including yoga and tai chi). This cutting-edge treatment when done in a series of at least six offers an effective way to significantly reduce the appearance of cellulite and enhance overall body contouring.

The Tri-Active LaserDermology system is the answer for cellulite treatment, liposuction support before and after procedures. Two special "fatigue-free" hand pieces - for large and small areas - are ergonomically designed for ease of use. Body areas can include specific areas, such as the midriff, that have undergone recent liposuction surgery, larger areas prone to cellulite such as thighs and buttocks, and small areas such as the face and neck. The Triple Action technology was developed to treat all body types. Thanks to the mechanical massage, the deep laser stimulation, and the localized cooling, facial tissue will appear more relaxed and balanced with a fresh glow. Perfect just before and important event, such as a wedding or class reunion!
