3 Cellulite Treatments NJ Residents Need to Know About

There are lots of different kinds of cellulite treatment. NJ plastic surgeons often default to the same methods they've been practicing since the 90s: liposuction and barely-effective anti-cellulite creams. But there have been huge advances in the scientific understanding of the body since then, and with them, brand new seemingly-magical cellulite treatments have been developed. Here are three startling options you can find at cosmeticskin.com and at medspas and plastic surgeons across New Jersey.

Cool Sculpting

One of the significant discoveries we've achieved in the past couple of decades: we've realized that different cells in the body die under different conditions. Fat cells, for example, crystallize and burst at a higher temperature than the surrounding skin and tissue cells. 

In other words, there's a temperature where fat cells die, and all of the other cells around them don't. Cool Sculpting is the application of that science: a powerful machine that cools your flesh down, but not so much that it will harm anything except your fat cells. They die, and over the subsequent weeks, your body takes the dead cells and disposes of them, ridding out of that stubborn cellulite forever.

Exilis

On the opposite end of the spectrum, there's Exilis, the procedure that kills cellulite, tightens the skin, and stimulates collagen production -- which means firmer, smoother skin in the long term -- all with the power of heat. Exilis uses microwave technology to heat up the dermis and the subdermis, while also applying cold to the uppermost layers of the skin to keep them comfortable.

The net effect is that the cellulite cells -- which, again, are more temperature-sensitive -- die off, just as above. Only Exilis also stimulates massive collagen growth in the affected area, making the tissues more solid as the collagen proteins fill the intercellular space.

Cellulaze

Cellulaze is the 'surgical strike' of the cellulite treatments. NJ plastic surgeons are just mastering this new technique, which uses a tiny fiberoptic laser to penetrate and liquify each individual deposit of fat inside your cellulite-ridden areas. The fat is then simply squeezed out of your body, never to return.

The laser also cuts through the fibrous material that holds your skin down in some places -- eliminating unwanted dimples. It also stimulates collagen production in much the same way as Exilis, albeit less dramatically.

Each of these three procedures has its own risks and side effects, naturally -- but each of them also has a years-long record of success and happy clients. If you're wondering which of these is the right way for you to finally get rid of your stubborn cellulite, go online to cosmeticskin.com and read up. And once you've done your reading, call the clinic at 201-227-8313 and schedule an appointment to talk to the doctor today. He'll sit down with you and talk about your unique situation, your health concerns, and the precise dangers and benefits of each procedure. By the time you're done, you'll have all of the information you need -- and hopefully, an appointment to finally eliminate that stubborn fat!
