Benefits of Silklight® Cellulite Therapy

Benefits of Silklight® Cellulite Therapy

Many people, even those of normal weight, have areas of their bodies where they accumulate body fat. As women age and undergo hormonal changes, they note the appearance of dimples and mottled texture on their skin - a condition commonly referred to as cellulite. Gender, genetic and hormonal causes, obesity, age and location of fat depots influence the perfusion patterns, as well as the metabolism of the tissue. In general, women have more difficulty in mobilizing subcutaneous fat stores from their hips and thighs than men. Men, however, exhibit more difficulty in reducing fat around their waist.

ESC developed the Silhouette® and new SilkLight® Cellulite Therapy Systems especially to address these problems and aid both men and women in their on-going effort to look better. It is well known that massage provides many benefits such as increased blood circulation and enhanced lymphatic drainage. Patients who complete the entire massage therapy treatment regimen enjoy other advantages including a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.

In a recent study it was disclosed that 'patients and physicians both believed improvement had occurred after treatment. Three months after cessation of therapy, the apparent beneficial effects of 'roller massage therapy' remained better than pretreatment levels.' (D. McDaniel, MD; J. MD; Keith Ash, MD; J. Newman, MD and M. Zukowski, MD, 'Body Contouring: A Preliminary Report on the Use of Silhouette Device for Treating Cellulite,' Aesthetic Surgery Journal, May/June 1998).

In summary, ESC's Cellulite Therapy Systems provide the following key benefits:

Temporarily reduce appearance of cellulite
Relieve muscle tension and stiffness
Improve circulation of blood and lymph fluids
