Laser treatment for cellulite

Cellulite is a major aesthetic problem of women and even men all around the world. The condition develops as a result of deposits of fatty cells underneath the connective tissue of the skin. Once accumulated, such fat tissue forms unsightly skin dimples.

Causes of Cellulite

There is a variety of factors associated with cellulite. The more a person is exposed to these factors, the greater the chances for the cellulite to be extensive and more noticeable are. Some of contributing factors include genetics, stress, smoking, unhealthy diet (excessive consumption of junk food), intake of certain drugs and inadequate intake of water.

Since cellulite is a great aesthetic problem, women (and sometimes even men) all over the world are in a constant search for the most efficient treatments. One of them is laser treatment for cellulite.

Cellulite - Laser Treatment

Laser therapy includes distribution of a beam of light to the specific area. In case of cellulite, laser beams are directly pointed to the affected skin which they penetrate entering the abnormal tissue. The effects of the treatment occur due to rupture of the treated cells. This rupture is a consequence of excessive heat these cells are exposed to. Finally, the problematic cells are efficiently removed from the connective tissue.

Combining Laser Treatment with Other Procedures
