Aesthetic Laser & Vein Centers is pleased to now offer Thermage cellulite reduction. This brand new procedure quickly smoothes the skin, for a firmer, younger looking shape.

Thermage is a revolutionary radio frequency system that is used for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. In February 2008, its manufacturer introduced a new attachment for the device, called ThermaTip CL that reduces cellulite.

The FDA-cleared ThermaTip CL is the result of 21 months of clinical research and technology development. By delivering deep heating into the dermis, ThermaTip CL rebuilds collagen connective tissues and improves blood flow, helping to improve the smooth appearance of the skin’s surface.

In clinical studies, ThermaTip CL was found to noticeably reduce the appearance of cellulite after just a single treatment.

Cellulite reduction builds on other Thermage body procedures, such as firming the skin on the hands, arms, legs and tummy.  The ThermaTip CL treatment can also enhance the results of SmartLipo LaserBodySculpting.  Please contact the Aesthetic Laser & Vein Center to set up a consultation to learn what combination will work best for you.

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is a result of an imbalance between the formation and elimination of fat in the cell.  This leads to cellulite’s signature mark: the orange peel texture of the skin.  Cellulite may be caused by many factors including heredity, physical activity, nutrition, stress, and lifestyle.

What is Lumicell Touch?
Lumicell Touch is a treatment modality that combines the benefits of infrared and magenta light with vacuum subdermal massage.  This unique combination is able to trigger a regenerative process in the cell resulting in firmer and smoother-looking skin.

What are the benefits of using Lumicell Light-based Technology?
Light plays a major role in all aspects of life, and cellulite is no exception. The Lumicell Touch infrared light is beneficial for your cell’s metabolism.  Magenta light has anti-aging properties.

Deep tissue vacuum massage technique is part of the Lumicell Technology as well.  This subdermal tissue massage is highly effective in reducing cellulite.  It facilitates reoxygenation of the skin, increased tissue blood circulation, reduces muscular tension, and facilitates lymphatic circulation.

All of the above results in a reduction of cellulite.

Which regions of the body can be treated with the Lumicell Touch?
Lumicell Touch may be used for the arms, thighs, hips, and buttocks.

When can one expect to see visible results?
Age and skin conditions determine the number of treatments required to achieve optimal results.  Usually 14-18 treatments may be required.  It is advisable to follow up with a monthly treatment to perpetuate long-lasting results of your Lumicell Touch treatments.

What if I also have loose skin along with my cellulite?
Following your Lumicell Touch treatment program, one may utilize the noninvasive skin tightening benefits of body Thermage. (Please see the Thermage section on this website.)
