Why we now use red and infrared light therapy for all our cellulite treatments

Why we now use red and infrared light therapy for all our cellulite treatments

At our clinic, we incorporate red and infrared light therapy into all our cellulite treatments, not as a standalone solution but as a vital enhancer of our core technologies. While red and infrared light therapy alone cannot significantly reduce cellulite, it plays a crucial role in amplifying the effectiveness of deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency (RF) and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation, complemented by healthy nutrition and exercise…

Does lymphatic drainage massage work for cellulite?

Does lymphatic drainage massage work for cellulite?

Lymphatic massage must be the most overhyped proposed cellulite treatment, together with the pathetic dry brushing (😂) and coffee been scrubbing (😂😂), which, of course, don’t work. True, impaired microcirculation / lymphatic drainage is part of the cellulite problem, together with excessive hypodermal adipose tissue accumulation, skin laxity and connective tissue fibrosis. However, manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massage does NOT do ANYTHING for existing fibrosis, skin laxity or fat accumulation, the other three important structural aspects of cellulite. And when it comes to circulation / lymphatic drainage it only improves it temporarily, for a few hours or days…

Glycation, skin ageing and cellulite

Glycation, skin ageing and cellulite

Glycation is the attachment of sugars to proteins and lipids, leading to what are called ‘Advanced Glycation End-products’ (AGEs in shirt). The consequent damage of those proteins/lipids, especially collagen and elastin, leads to inflammation, free radical formation / oxidative damage and fibrosis, all of which accelerate aging…

Have a bum lift treatment the natural way: with radiofrequency, ultrasound, Emsculpt and red/infrared light therapy

Have a bum lift treatment the natural way: with radiofrequency, ultrasound, Emsculpt and red/infrared light therapy

Unfortunately many people are lured to undergo dangerous and highly invasive BBL surgery or unsafe hyaluronic acid / poly-L-lactic acid fillers in order to lift and shape their derrière. As a result many women do not even try, and quite rightly so, as they are afraid of the risks of adverse reactions inherent with such treatments. However, in addition to the one-session risky options above there is the safe, natural and effective way, which is based on stimulating collagen production and collagen contraction (with deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency) and muscle building, lifting and toning (with Emsculpt’s HIFEM technology), over a course of several safe sessions, as opposed to the - supposedly instant - gimmicky options of surgery or injections. And this is what we offer with our LipoTherapeia® Plus non-surgical bum lift treatment…

Sleep, cortisol, skin aging and cellulite

Sleep, cortisol, skin aging and cellulite

Lack of sleep itself is an indirect cause of cellulite and a direct cause of skin aging. Lack of sleep is not as important as sugar intake, calorie intake, lack of exercise, smoking/vaping, alcohol intake etc, but because it indirectly leads us to the above behaviours, it does play a role. Lack of sleep makes us feel more tired and consequently leads to increased food intake, especially sugar-containing food, smoking/vaping, alcohol intake and stimulant intake…

Stimulative vs destructive treatments for skin tightening: safety and effectiveness

Stimulative vs destructive treatments for skin tightening: safety and effectiveness

Exercise and general movement do lead to tighter skin and, as mentioned above, they are absolutely essential to maintain tight skin. However, exercise and healthy nutrition act very slowly in reversing skin laxity and can only go so far in tightening skin in specific areas or throughout the body. So, indeed you can tighten your skin with exercise but usually not enough and not fast enough. Hence the need for a good, strong skin tightening treatment, for faster, more pronounced results than from just exercise…

Water retention and oedematous cellulite in the heat of the summer

Water retention and oedematous cellulite in the heat of the summer

The single more important reason for cellulite looking worse in the summer is water retention. Water retention, one of the seven aspects of cellulite, can become worse in the heat of the summer due to vasodilation. In turn, water retention makes the cellulite “bumps” to become enlarged and thighs and buttocks, in general, to become puffy. Water retention can also lead to increased low grade inflammation, another one of the seven aspects of cellulite (the other five being fat accumulation, skin laxity, fibrosis, oxidative damage and glycation)….

How to tone glutes without bulking up and without gaining weight

How to tone glutes without bulking up and without gaining weight

The gluteus maximus is a muscle which almost no man or woman can have enough of, simply because it makes the butt area look strong, beautifully curvy and sexy. However, some people would prefer to have just a toned butt but not too toned or big. How can one do that? It’s simple. Do lots of intensive resistance exercise two to three times a week, for several weeks. And when you reach the stage where your muscles don’t just tone but they start growing bigger, stop and switch to maintenance resistance training for that area, once every two weeks…

Whole body cellulite: what causes it?

Whole body cellulite: what causes it?

This is a common question: “I thought that cellulite only affects the thighs and bum, how come I have it on my arms, stomach and back?” Indeed, cellulite primarily appears on back of thighs, front of thighs and buttocks. But it is sometimes is is also visible on the arms, calves, stomach, flanks, sides of back and even on the breasts. Why is this the case?

Collagen, elastin, skin tightening and cellulite

Collagen, elastin, skin tightening and cellulite

Many of our clients ask us a lot of questions relating to skin firmness: collagen, elastin, skin tightness, skin elasticity, collagen powders, skin tightening treatments and creams, how to increase skin elasticity, and of course, cellulite. Here is a concise guide on collagen, elastin and how these proteins affect skin firmness, elasticity and cellulite. Skin is made primarily of rigid protein-based fibres such as collagen and fibronectin and elastic protein-based fibres, such as elastin and fibrillin. Collagen and fibronectin give firmness/tightness to skin and other tissues, while elastin and fibrillin provide elasticity.
