What is cellulite?

Cellulite is a common term used to describe superficial pockets of trapped fat, which cause uneven dimpling or "orange peel" skin. It appears in 90% post adolescent women (lmost all women over the age of 20 have cellulite to some degree) and is rarely seen in men. Common but not exclusive areas where cellulite is found, are the buttocks, thighs, and the abdomen. Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not related to obesity, since it occurs in overweight, average, and thin women. The appearance of cellulite is not always reduced by weight loss.

What causes cellulite?

Cellulite occurs in the subcutaneous fat layer just beneath your skin. Your skin is connected to the underlying muscle by vertical strands of tissue. The combination of this connective tissue pulling in on your skin and fatty deposits and fibrosis pushing out against your skin cause the dimpled appearance of cellulite.

What technology does Spa Solé use for Cellulite Reduction Therapy?

We use the FDA approved, Dermosonic® method and Far Infrared Sauna sessions. The Dermosonic® method has been used in Europe with excellent results since 1999. The distinctive difference between the Dermosonic® method and other cellulite reduction methods such as Endermologie®, is the Dermosonic® method's addition of FDA approved ultrasound technology which greatly increases the effectiveness of more conventional vibratory and suction techniques which are used to manipulate the connective tissue and fatty deposits.

A Far Infrared Sauna session helps purify fat cells, burns calories (up to 500 calories in one full session) and controls weight and improves and clears cellulite. It also strengthens the cardiovascular system, detoxifies heavy metals, hydrocarbon residues, alcohol, nicotine, sodium and cholesterol, improves your immune system by sweating at a lower more comfortable temperature than a conventional hot sauna, increases overall health and resistance to disease and sharpens your senses and relieves stress, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

We could have chosen any cellulite reduction method available on the planet and we chose the Dermosonic® method combined with Far Infrared Sauna sessions because, quite simply, in our tests, it produced better results with less treatments.
