Say Goodbye to Cellulite

Cindy Crawford has it, so does Kim Kardashian and Jessica Alba. Look closely enough and it’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t have a little bit of cellulite. In fact, nearly 85 percent of women have it, according to a study in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy.

And while the genetic predisposition that paves the way for the development of cellulite isn’t necessarily optional, having to live with it – or not – is increasingly more choice than circumstance. Cellulite happens when stubborn, localized fat deposits push through fibrous bands in tissue to give the distinctive dimpling effect commonly known as “cottage cheese.”

A new treatment that uses a painless photo-acoustic procedure called ZWave is showing significant improvement in cellulite, according to recent studies, leaving problem areas noticeably smoother. The Zwave delivers energy in the form of high energy acoustic waves which helps to address cellulite by improving both blood circulation and lymphatic drainage in the treatment area.  It also helps to stimulate collagen formation and improve skin elasticity.

For patients looking to get rid of stubborn cellulite, the Zwave can be used alone. For those looking for body sculpting and improving cellulite, NDDA’s Dr. Mary Hurley said she recommends a two-step approach. First, Dr. Hurley uses CoolSculpting, a contouring technology that freezes fat cells in unwanted fat pockets on the body, to get rid of the underlying problem. Next, the ZWave procedure is used to massage the tissue immediately after CoolSculpting to aid in the elimination of fat cells. ZWave, which relies on a targeted release of powerful but harmless sonic waves – is used to help the body absorb and get rid of the dead fat cells. And at the same time, it breaks down that fibrous network that can cause cellulite in the first place.
