High-Tech Cellulite Removal
Feb 19, 2004 3:43 pm US/Pacific
Swimsuit season is just around the corner -- but unless you're a supermodel, there's something about this time of year that probably drives you crazy! Today, "All About You" is all about a new way to reduce cellulite!
Now there's a new way to get rid of it! It's called Dermasonic, basically a fancy name for a technique that uses ultrasound technology to help break down and remove cellulite. It's high tech and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
It's a two step process that starts with ultrasonic waves being massaged around your target area for two to three minutes. It's the same technology used for viewing babies inside the womb.
The next step promotes circulation -- this will help break down the cellulite and encourage it to flush out of the fatty pockets holding onto it.
Once you get over the cost -- a hundred bucks per 90 minute session -- the next concern: the pain.
Hard to believe this wouldn't hurt, but it doesn't. In fact, it feels like a massage. You may be wondering how this compares to Endermologie, a process of sucking and rolling cellulite away.
With Endermologie, you need to do your whole body, but with Dermasonic you can just do the spots you want improved.
The Dermasonic process encourages your body to let go of stubborn cellulite and encourages "lymphatic drainage." It may take up to 12 sessions to get your desired results, then once a month to maintain your look.
Experts recommend drinking lots of water for 72 hours after each treatment. They say a small number of folks could experience a little bit of bruising following a treatment but that will go away in a few days.
