‘Orange peel skin’, ‘the mattress effect’ and ‘cottage cheese skin’ are usually terms used to describe the condition of cellulite. Cellulite is a harmless condition. It is the noticeable puckered or dimpled effect of the skin that causes aesthetic dissatisfaction for those who are affected by its appearance. Some people can feel that this concern affects the contouring of the body as well as displaying an uneven texture of the skin.
Causes of cellulite.
Every healthy person has a certain amount of subcutaneous fat – natural fatty deposits that lie just beneath the surface layers of the skin. Cellulite forms when this layer pushes upwards against the skin, at the same time as the tissues that connect the skin to the muscle, pull down. Subcutaneous fat is normal for people to have, which is why cellulite can also affect those who have a slimmer frame. However when cellulite is present, it can become more prominent when extra weight is gained.
What is Cellulites?
Cellulite is a condition that affects the subcutaneous tissue, which is a fatty tissue located beneath the skin. The main cause is the degeneration of microcirculation in this tissue, resulting in fundamental changes in its metabolic functions. The dimpled look of the skin’s surface is usually what determines an area affected by cellulite. Women tend to be affected by cellulite more than men and, despite common beliefs, can develop on bodies of all sizes, even in very skinny. The most common areas affected by cellulite are the buttocks, thighs, stomach and hips. Depending on the degree of cellulite, ranging from 1 to 4, different interventions can be performed. Mesotherapy helps with lymphatic decongestion and fat dissolution. Specifically, tailored cocktails can target the resolution of the problem. Minimally invasive machines can provide permanent solutions for cellulite. Lastly a Vaser liposuction combining with Renuvion technology can permanent resolve the very difficult cases, when cellulite is combined with severe skin laxity.

Multiple small injections will scan the treated area, allowing the specialized cocktail to penetrate the skin and reach the subcutaneous tissue. Some slight bruising may occur but will resolve within a few days.

With the radiofrequency energy (R/F), it uniformly releases the fibrous tissue that tethering elements, similar to the “orange peel” appearance. At the same time, the Spherofill probe can inject special substances into the treated area, allowing the subcutaneous tissue to heal permanently. The results are permanent and immediately.

In this case, the 4D Body Sculpting refers to targeting cellulite. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and sedation, or in some cases, general anesthesia may be required, depending on the extent of the body surface being treated.
