As a normal course of hormonal fluctuations and individual genetic tendencies, the elasticity of the skin is gradually reduced; this forms an accumulation of adipose compartments near the surface of the skin forming dimples in the skin from the connecting ends of the underlying structural fibrous strands in the skin. This superficial fatty accumulation is known as "Cellulite" and occurs in the thighs, hips, and waists of women and men alike. Now, using an improved technology from the previous French technique (Endermologie), these areas of cellulite can be treated to smooth, tone the skin and achieve a well-proportioned silhouette.
Gently, but firmly and sliding through the subdermal layer of the skin through a massage in these cellulite areas, the subdermal fat, and the fibrous strands are stimulated and stretched, favoring the contour smoothing and improving the figure.
This soothing technique increases local blood flow, stimulates skin and subdermal structures, and offers non-surgical means to reduce the impact of cellulite. The best results are achieved by combining a series of 15 - 20 sessions of Silhouette therapy with an exercise program, a specific diet, and good hydration. Silhouette subdermal therapy is not designed to be a replacement for liposuction, but a technique to refine irregularities and the most superficial dimples of the skin.
