Summer comes every year with a vision of you lying on the sand with your bikini, but before you can put on your sexy little things, you always make sure your body is fit, your skin is clear, and your thighs are as smooth as silk. However, no matter how hard we try to work out, some lumps and bumps around our thighs and buttocks just don’t seem to go away. These bumps are called cellulites.
Cellulites are areas of the skin, usually along the back, inner, and outer thigh and hips, that appears to have underlying fat deposits, which look dimpled, and lumpy in appearance. Though it is most commonly found on people with higher weight, even slim people can also have it. Cellulite tends to be more noticeable with people who have lighter skin color but everyone can actually have it.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF CELLULITE FORMATION?
Like most skin problems, the root cause of cellulite is not well understood but several factors are being linked to developing such. For instance, hormones such as estrogen, insulin, and thyroid hormones are said to be part of the production of cellulites. Genetics may also play an important role in formation of cellulites as researchers suggest that certain genes may be more predisposed to the condition. Lifestyle may also be a factor in the presence of cellulites as smokers, those who do not exercise, and those who sit and stand in one position over long periods are more likely to have these nuisances.
Researches also suggest that wearing tight underwear may increase the chances of having cellulites.
WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR CELLULITES in Thailand?
There is no lack of treatment options for cellulites since it has become one of the most pressing concerns not only for Hollywood stars but for ordinary people alike who are conscious about their physical appearance. Probably all cosmetic brands had developed their own creams and formulations for cellulite treatments so the question now is no longer what are the options, but rather, which of the options will work.
At Yoskarn Clinic, we offer 3 procedures for your cellulite concerns:
· Thermage – Thermage in Thailand is a procedure that makes use of Radio Frequency called ThermaCool. The treatment is clinically proven and FDA approved to tighten skin and improve wrinkles. On areas with cellulites, thermage also works by tightening the skin therefore reducing the appearance of cellulites. Since the radio frequency introduced by the procedure to your skin also stimulates collagen formation, it also improves the contour of the area, and the condition of the skin. Unlike laser treatments, thermage can be used for patients of all skin types but like all dermatological treatments, patient response varies.
· MesoTherapy – Mesotherapy in Thailand is actually a fat reduction procedure that involves injecting a substance such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes directly to the fat tissue beneath the skin. The procedure was developed in France originally for the improvement of circulation but it was found out that the treatment also melted fat on the area that it was injected to. As a cellulite treatment, mesotherapy improves the lumps on a certain area as it melts fat, therefore evening out the skin. All substances injected during mesotherapy and safe and FDA approved for human use so there will be no need to worry about side effects.
· CoolSculpting – CoolSculpting is another fat reduction procedure like mesotherapy. The difference however is that cool sculpting can reduces fat in a larger scale or volume, though still less that liposuction. CoolSculpting may also be a little pricey as compared to mesotherapy but with this treatment, you get the benefit of better body sculpting and cellulite reduction.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER CELLULITE TREATMENT in Thailand?
There is no guarantee that cellulites will be completely eliminated but it will be reduced after treatment. Again, not all patients respond to the treatments in quite the same manner, but our surgeon will honestly tell you if the treatment is working for you or not.
Since all the options we offer are non-surgical, there is no down time, but you may feel a little discomfort on the area along with possible swelling and bruising which resolves in a few days.
Cellulite creams which are specially formulated by our dermatologists may be recommended by our doctors after your treatment to help improve the result.
