Did you know, according to a study carried out by Cynosure, more than 85 percent of women over the age of 20 are affected by cellulite? A new type of minimally-invasive laser treatment promises long-lasting cellulite removing results
Cynosure’s Cellulaze treatment uses a 1440nm Nd:YAG wavelength and unique side-firing laser to attack the fat. Inserted through small incisions in the skin, the laser is first placed just underneath the top layer and pointed down to melt excess fat lying beneath the epidermis. Next it is pointed horizontal to cut through the stiffened fibrous bands, releasing the valleys that cause the orange peel effect. Finally, the laser is placed in the up position to thicken and elasticise the top layer of skin, smoothing out the surface for tight and toned skin.
A study carried out by leading US plastic surgeon Barry E. DiBernardo, demonstrated that a single treatment with the Cellulaze 1440-nm pulsed laser improved the appearance of cellulite, with results increasing up to one year later. Cynosure’s new Cellulaze laser system is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for cellulite, with long-lasting, clinically-proven results. In the months post-treatment, it's thought that collagen regeneration leads to thicker and more elastic skin.
Cellulaze case study below was performed by Dr DiBernardo - 'after' results two years post treatment.
Cellulaze is currently being performed by Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi at the London Medical & Aesthetic Clinic, lmaclinic.co.uk.
