Looking for Effective Cellulite Treatments in St. Louis?

It is said that approximately 80% of women in the United States suffer from cellulite. Cellulite is a non-medical cosmetic condition and has no health related consequences. Cellulite is the term for subcutaneous fat that has caused a dimpled, bumpy uneven appearance of the skin. Cellulite is most common in women and is usually seen on the buttocks and thighs. There is much controversy as to the causes of cellulite and the most appropriate treatment. Most believe that as result of a combination of factors including genetics, hormones, diet, collagen anatomy, and circulation… some people are more predisposed to forming cellulite than others. As those with more predisposition to cellulite gain more fat for storage… their cellulite will become more advanced and severe. The body stores fat in cells called lipocytes that are in the subcutaneous layer of the skin. The subcutaneous layer has collagen fibrous cords that run from the muscle cover to the skin, dividing it into compartments. As the fat cells hypertrophy and the circulation of the subcutaneous layer and the fibrous cords becomes compromised… the subcutaneous layer will become less healthy and vibrant… looking pale and dimpled. Although cellulite is not dangerous, most people consider it very unsightly. Therefore, many individuals opt for cellulite treatments that aim to disperse and minimize these pockets of fat improving skin tightness and overall smoothness.

What Are Our Cellulite Treatments?

Cellulite Treatment in St. Louis: Before & After

When it comes to cellulite treatments, there have been many theories and options. There has been much debate about whether these cellulite treatments are truly effective or not. Cellulite treatments have included: diet, exercise, massage, hydrotherapy, supplements (oral and topical), liposuction, light and heat therapy. One thing that is for sure … cellulite treatment is controversial, and is generally a challenging task. Some people will respond well to treatment and others with more resistance… but in general, cellulite can be improved if not eliminated. Treatments will almost always be best in integrated combination and results will vary based on individual characteristics and treatment passion. At Midwest Vein Care, we offer a non-invasive and painless cellulite treatment that utilizes the Venus Freeze technology. Venus Freeze is a new technology that combines deep penetrating radiofrequency skin and fat heating, as well as magnetic pulsed energy to effect fat cell layer circulation and collagen tightness.

Skin tightening treatments like Venus Freeze have revolutionized the way that professionals now think of cellulite treatments. Cellulite treatments like liposuction or mesotherapy, while offering results in some cases, have failed to withstand the test of time. Venus Freeze on the other hand utilizes radio frequency and magnetic pulse technology to target both the intradermal collagen/elastin matrix as well the subcutaneous fat deposits. This will simultaneously stimulate the production of the dermal collagen and elastin, as well as reduce fat and improve subcutaneous circulation.

This skin tightening cellulite treatment involves targeting the affected area of the body with rapidly pulsing radiofrequency and magnetic energy that causes targeted heating and stimulates an endogenous healing process. The final result is firmer, tighter, smoother and healthier skin. Of course, the best results will be in patients that comply with scheduled Venus Freeze treatments, as well as commit to the most beneficial diet, hydration, supplements, and exercise.

Benefits of Cellulite Treatments

Our skin tightening cellulite treatments are non-invasive and painless. Technicians will apply a gel on the affected area and then begin targeting the radio frequency waves using a handheld device. The treatment can take between half an hour to an hour and will require multiple treatments before the most beneficial results are achieved. An increase in the localized tissue temperature that is caused by these cellulite treatments has led patients to describe the entire procedure as similar to a warm stone massage.

Cellulite treatments like Venus Freeze can show immediate and gradually improving results and have been known to last. The best ongoing results will include commitment to lifestyle modification and occasional maintenance Venus Freeze treatments. Individuals benefit greatly from improved confidence and self-esteem levels, as they no longer feel the need to hide affected areas of their body.

At Midwest Vein Care, our team of medical professionals has significant experience and expertise in performing Venus Freeze. We make it a point to operate at the very cutting edge of the medical industry, keeping up to date with the latest technology and knowledge.
