What is cellulite?
Cellulite is the result of two phenomena. In the first place, cellulite can be caused by an unhealthy diet that has brought in excess fat. But, second, cellulite is very frequently due to poor lymphatic drainage. In fact, when one begins to think about the management of very localized fat deposits, it will be necessary to differentiate food responsibility and morphological responsibility. Generally, both are equally responsible.
This is why I consider that we should not stop on a single technique. I advocate more comprehensive care that will combine both food hygiene, sports activity, and a multitude of localized acts to treat this cellulite.
What are the differences with the fat pile?
The fat pile, is the upper stage of cellulite: the fat has really come to lodge in a very localized place where it has fibrotic and hardened. In fact, the care for a fat mass will be different from that set up for diffuse cellulite all over the body.
What techniques for treating fat deposits?
To treat localized fat deposits, we mainly use:
- lipocryotherapy, the first technique in terms of effectiveness
- endermology, that is to say more comprehensive management techniques such as palpate-rolling, which will work on both the lymphatic drainage and the mixing of this fat
- mesotherapy, which is over 50 years old. This technique consists in making small injections of product with drainage aiming and aiming slimming
Are there any contraindications?
The contraindications to all these techniques are mainly pregnancy, chronic diseases and vascular diseases. For example, we are not going to treat someone who has a defect of coagulation with this or that technique. In fact, the care of a patient in terms of aesthetics and nutrition, must be accompanied by a complete assessment beforehand. This is essential in order to be sure that there is no underlying pathology that might contraindicate the practice of all these techniques on the patient.
What is the main demand of your patients?
Today, the main demand of my patients is the global management of cellulite. That's why we decided to equip ourselves with different techniques that will allow us to work on several points, from firming to localized fat and passing through the lack of lymphatic drainage.
