Cellulite and Fat Reduction
Our award winning clinic offers a number of non-surgical treatments that tackle unwanted fat and cellulite. This variety allows our highly trained medical cosmetic professionals to provide the perfect solution based on individual patient needs – including body sculpting to help trim stubborn fat and smoothing skin to rid bumps and imperfections.
Causes of Cellulite and Treatments
Cellulite is a build up of fat that pushes against the outer layers of skin tissue. This causes the skin to appear dimpled and lumpy. Many of our patients have referred to cellulite as the ‘orange peel effect’ and ‘cottage cheese skin’.
There are three main grades for cellulite:
- Mild: minimal visual appearance on the skin with only the occasional dent to the outer tissue.
- Moderate: elasticity of the skin is affected with more obvious dimples and dents appearing.
- Severe: very visible dents and dimples in the skin with visible skin sagging.
Cellulite can affect both sexes, but is more common in women. For women over 30, studies suggest there is a 90% chance they have been affected by cellulite at some point in their lives. However, the exact cause of cellulite is unknown, but there are several factors that influence its development, including:
- Loss of skin elasticity due to ageing
- A lack of exercise and a sedentary (excessive sitting) lifestyle
- A poor diet high in fat, salt and carbohydrates, as well as or yo-yo dieting
- Hormones, such as your oestrogen and insulin levels
- Smoking
- Genetics including metabolism, blood circulation and even stress levels
While cellulite is harmless, many people find it unpleasant and embarrassing. Here at the Light Touch Clinic, we offer the groundbreaking BTL Unison treatment that can help to reduce cellulite and tighten sagging skin.
Skin Tightening for the Body
As part of the ageing process, we find that skin around the body has become saggy. This is because our bodies produce less elastin and collagen with age. However, we have a solution in BTL Unison. Using acoustic wave technology and a radiofrequency, this treatment helps tighten skin by kick-starting your natural collagen and elastin production.
