What is cellulite?
Cellulite is the dimpled appearance of the skin on and around the outer thighs, buttocks and other body areas where fatty deposits (containing waste by-products and toxins) are found. Women are more prone to cellulite formation than men; almost all women over the age of 20 have cellulite to some degree. Cellulite is not necessarily a symptom of being overweight and is not reduced by weight loss alone.

 

Is Dermosonic a cure for cellulite?
No, unfortunately there is no cure for cellulite. Nothing, not Dermosonic, Endermologie, nor liposuction, affects the subcutaneous fat layer where the cause of cellulite is. However, Dermosonic is the most effective treatment currently for reducing the appearance of cellulite by effectively targeting the subcutaneous fat layer, causing fibrosis breakage, dispersing fat tissue, elongating connective tissue, and promoting lymphatic drainage. The cellulite becomes much less visible since both the tension of connective tissue and the pressure of accumulated fat deposits and fibrosis build-up around the cellulite are greatly reduced and therefore a smoother, firmer, more toned look is imparted to the skin.

 

How does a Dermosonic treatment feel? Does it hurt?
Dermosonic® treatments do not pinch, roll, or bruise the skin. Dermosonic is pain-free. In fact, Dermosonic is quite comparable to a relaxing massage.

 

How many treatments are recommended?
Depending on your specific needs, age, and lifestyle, treatments are recommended twice per week for a total of 8-12 treatments with follow-up treatments every 6-8 weeks. We offer discounted, multiple-treatment packages.

 

I'm having (or have had) liposuction. Is Dermosonic suitable for me?
Dermosonic is the ultimate treatment for pre- or post-liposuction patients.

Pre-liposuction patients can expect superior surgery results when Dermosonic is used prior to surgery. A few sessions will allow the fatty tissue to be more easily and thoroughly aspirated resulting in approximately 50% more tissue aspiration during surgery.

Post-liposuction patients can expect excellent reshaping and contouring and a decrease in the appearance and feel of adhesions and/or lumpy tissue from surgery. Improved skin tone and texture may also be expected.
