Cellulite Treatment
What is cellulite?
The fat tissue under the skin is divided into small chambers like a honeycomb by the connective tissue called septae. The increase in this fat tissue will push the connective tissue septae around it and the skin. When the septae pull the skin inwards where they are attached to, and push the other skin parts, a rough appearance is formed in skin, which is called cellulite.
Can cellulite be treated?
It can be treated by tearing and breaking the firm, membrane-like structures called as septae. With the cellulite canules which resemble liposuction canules but have different tips, these septae can be removed. This procedure is applied just like liposuction, but it causes prominent bruising for approximately a week after the operation, which is different from the liposuction. Other than this, there is a technique called as endodermology which aims to treat using vacuum without surgery. Different opinions exist about whether this method is effective on cellulites or not. While some authors advocate that it has no significant effect on cellulites, some say that it has even minimal effects, but it needs repetitive application.
