 Most women,

Even slim and shapely bodies are not exempt from some form of cellulite. There is no doubt that this is the most common aesthetic skin condition. Modern medical treatments now have the ability to act on the cause of the problem, thus combating the appearance of the “orange peel” and the “dimples” of the skin.

Cellulite is mainly due to the uneven deposition of fat in the skin and subcutaneous tissue as well as fluid retention. Poor blood circulation, reduced tissue oxygenation and a dysregulated metabolic rate result in the skin losing its elasticity and becoming fibrous. The most common causes are hereditary factors, hormonal dysfunctions, poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption. The areas of the body where cellulite most frequently appears are the thighs, both on their outer and inner surfaces, the buttocks, the knees, the abdomen and the arms.

Combination therapies: personalized anti-cellulite protocols to eliminate skin deformities, restore lost elasticity of connective tissue and combat the accumulation of fat cells.

Ozone therapy

Ozone therapy is a revolutionary method used to treat cellulite. Ozone is a gas, an allotropic form of oxygen (triatomic oxygen – O 3 ). Oxygen-ozone is obtained from a special machine in the desired concentrations and with mesotherapy techniques penetrates the subcutaneous tissue with microinjections completely painlessly. Ozone therapy is advantageous because it has no contraindications, does not present allergic reactions, interactions with other drugs or bruising at the injection site. Zero recovery time and you immediately return to your activities. The repetition of the treatment is based on a protocol and depending on each case once every 7-15 days.

 The mechanism of action of ozone therapy

Breakdown (ozonolysis) of unsaturated fatty acid chains at the carbon double bond, reducing the chains and making them hydrophilic and therefore easily excreted through urine.

Ozone is hydrophobic, causing the removal of interstitial fluids (edema) due to both cellulite and poor circulation.

Improvement of blood microcirculation and oxygenation in the application areas, because ozone increases the viability of red blood cells, causing an increase in 2-3 diphosphoglycide, which is responsible for the release of oxygen to the tissues.

Activates reparative antioxidant protection mechanisms

Enhances the action of platelet growth factors, creating an immediate and powerful anti-inflammatory effect

Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a very widespread injection treatment that is completely safe and ideal for preventing and combating cellulite. Personalized treatment protocols based on international standards are used to treat local lipodystrophy. It is performed with special very fine needles with the aim of the solution of substances passing the skin barrier into the deeper skin and subcutaneous fat, treating unwanted cellulite.

Radiofrequency treatments

The use of radio frequencies is based on channeling energy into the deeper layers of the skin, creating diathermic waves, which activate fibroblasts and promote the production of collagen and elastin, increasing blood circulation to further improve the silhouette.
