Latest Cellulite Solution, Experts Reveal

If you don’t like the word “cottage cheese” then most probably you are very much familiar with cellulite appearance in your body. It simply refers to dimple-like skin textures that develop in a person’s thighs, hips or buttocks. It usually occurs on women than in men. Part of the reason is the way that fats are being distributed in women’s skin.

“In a more basic term, cellulite is caused by fat deposits that push against connective tissue underneath the outer layer of skin and is not caused exclusively by obesity or weight gain,” says a certain plastic surgeon.

To solve this problem, a lot of companies have created creams, massage therapies and other ways. However, most of these methods have proven to be ineffective while others don’t have a long term result. Some even require continuous maintenance.

Lately, a certain New York Times article made an emphasis on a new and steadily becoming popular procedure and it’s called Cellulaze. Its goal is to help people who have tried everything including diet, exercise and other methods to remove cellulite formations. This particular procedure requires local anesthesia and creating small incisions in the skin to allow a small pen tip laser to pass below and break the connective tissue that’s making the dimple effect.

“Cellulaze is approved by the Federal Drug and Food Administration but just like any other plastic surgery methods, it also has its own sets of limitations,” some experts say. The article showed three women who had undergone the procedure. Two of them had the best results with no more signs of cellulite coming back. But the third woman had complications like bruising and swelling. All of them tried the procedure as part of the study to test the efficacy of the procedure.

“Do too much, you’ll get a seroma (fluid build-up),” says the plastic surgeon who ran the study and told the New York Times. The woman who had complications had larger amount of cellulite and loose skin which means she’s not the ideal candidate. The surgeon emphasized the importance of going to board certified surgeons with experience and according to him, “a tactical sensing of what’s happening and whether you need to do more.”

“Of course, new methods will come out but none of them will go without being tested,” says Dr. Bradley Hubbard, a certified plastic surgeon from http://bradleyhubbardmd.com/. “That’s the reason why you have to trust the experts when they say a certain procedure is good or bad and this is done only by board certified ones.”

New technology will always give its products and it’s up to the consumer to do research and get help from experienced physicians before making any decisions.
