What is cellulite and what can we do to treat it?
Cellulite is characterised by dimpled or bumpy skin and is often referred to the texture of orange peel. It is a very common condition and usually presents its self in areas such at the buttocks, hips and thighs although there is no research to show that it cant appear anywhere else. The formation of fat chambers under the skin cause this dimpling effect. An increase in fat cells causes tension in which pulls the fat chambers down which brings the surface of the skin with it. Most factors in which contribute towards cellfina formation is uncontrollable including our genetics, age, hormonal balances and skin structure.
Although harmless, many people look for a resolution for this and Klnk could have just the answer. At Klnik we provide the treatment - cellfina. A FDA-approved treatment which was developed in 2015. This procedure aims to release the fat chambers which in turn reduces the dimpling affect. The procedure uses a super thin blade which moves through the fat tissue beneath the surface of your skin.
Cellfina is proven to give great results in reducing cellulite appearance so book in for a consultation today to discuss further.
