Cellulite Treatments

What Causes Cellulite?

• Poor blood circulation due to stress, a lack of exercise and other factors
• Poor lymphatic flow, possibly due to lack of adequate water intake
• Changes in estrogen and progesterone levels dictate how much fat your body stores or releases
• Genetic factors
• Women's fat lobules are larger and more rectangular than men's and their septae run vertical to the surface of the skin rather than diagonal. Therefore, fat becomes trapped more easily in women
• As the tone and condition of the skin declines with age, its ability to aid in the elimination and nutrition process for underlying tissues also declines
• Eating food containing an overabundance of toxins, such as fried foods, alcohol, caffeine and sugar, overwhelms the body's ability to eliminate them.

The most frequently-observed cellulite condition results from adipose (fat) tissue in the uppermost layers projecting into the dermis and causing bumps, "dimples" and pitting. As skin ages, the collagen and elastin within it stretches and progressively reveals more fluids and fat cells below it.

The cellulite removal treatment is done using the Gx-99 machine and is also an exfoliation process:

• Loosens and removes dead skin cells
• Leaves the skin soft, supple and radiant
• Gives the skin uniformity, allowing spa products to penetrate effectively
• Promotes a more youthful glowing complexion
• Stimulates the production of new skin cells
