THE FEMALE FAT TISSUE
We all know them. The unsightly dents that form over time on the thighs and buttocks without us changing our lifestyle or exercise routine. Why is that? And is there even a way to counteract it?
Basically, in a woman the fat cells under the uppermost layer of skin are not interwoven like a network, as in a man, but are arranged individually next to each other in chambers. So when we gain weight in the course of our adult life, the enlarged fat cells move upwards, deforming the cell walls and pressing against the epidermis.
Taking into account various individual factors such as predisposition, medication, exercise routine or eating habits, a dimple-shaped image of the epidermis layer then forms, the so-called cellulite or orange peel skin.
We basically distinguish 3 stages of cellulite. The first stage of cellulite is seen when the indentations appear by pushing the affected skin areas together. The second stage is shown by the fact that this typical orange structure can also be seen when the light falls from the side or when the muscles are tense. The third and final stage is reached when the cellulite can no longer be overlooked in any position.
THE TECHNOLOGY OF VELASHAPE
As skin cell activity tends to diminish with age, this results in accelerated fat storage and increased compression of blood and lymph vessels. With Velashape, we cobine three different technologies to firm the body and contour those areas that defy dieting and exercise. Fat metabolism is increased by regular treatment with Velashape, lymph flow is improved and fat chambers become smaller.
One of Velashape's three technologies provides local mobilisation of the deep skin layers and reduces the viscosity (viscosity) of the subcutaneous fat tissue through the continuous action of the roller in combination with a vacuum.
This increases blood circulation, activates the lymphatic system and, with the resulting decrease in excess fluid in the tissues, leads to an improvement in general cellular functions and the removal of toxins and excess water in the connective tissue.
Earlier technologies such as Maderot therapy, LPG or endermology worked exclusively with the above-mentioned mechanics to treat the affected skin areas. The technological advancement of Velashape integrates two additional technologies with radio frequency energy and 940 nm laser technology and thus achieves an extended effect of the affected zones.
Thanks to the integrated RF and the laser, the thermal energy is transported to the target area and leads to deep heating of the fat cells, the surrounding connective tissue and the collagen fibres in the subcutaneous tissue. This heating, in combination with the vacuum therapy, stimulates the growth of new collagen as well as elastin and thus leads to a local tightening of the skin. The body circumference is reduced at this point and the skin structure and texture are noticeably improved.
