The Procedures
Are you worried about that “orange peel” appearance look that has crept in your skin over the years?
Cellulite
No woman enjoys that unsightly “orange peel” look to their skin. There exists now very effective treatments.
Cellulite is a hormonal condition that afflicts only women and is caused by the entrapment of fat cells in connective tissue. It is because of this entrapment, even at an ideal body weight, that women will still have cellulite.
A Touch of Light has developed a strong reputation in treating this frustrating condition by offfering Endermology and Lipolysis.
What is endermology?
In the late 80's Louis Paul Guitay a french engineer was receiving physiotherapy to soften some scars after an accident. To help the physiotherapist, he developed a mechanical device that powered a computer-driven handheld massaging head that delivered intermittent suction and rolling to the area being treated as well as to the subjacent soft tissues. The LPG technique was invented. Although initially developed for therapeutic massages, it was observed that it unexpectedly improved the appearance of cellulite. At our clinic we use this technique also the treatment of scars to soften them, for treating muscle spasms, sciatica, etc... It can also be used to do lymphatic drainage especially for women after surgery for skin cancer.
Is this treatment for everybody?
There is always an evaluation done by our experienced technicians. It will be most effective for a women who is at her ideal body weight or has no more than 20 pounds to loose. There are some contraindications including large varicose veins, certain medications such as coumadin (blood thinner). Some standardized pictures are taken before starting the treatment and also at the end of the treatment. You will be surprised to see the positive changes not only in the appearance of your skin but also with your body contour.
What results can I expect?
One of the first thing you will notice is that your clothes fit looser, your legs and hips feel lighter, and you will experience an increased sense of well being. Then you will notice a definite improvement in your skin condition, especially in dimpled cellulite areas. Although this is not a weight loss treatment, you will see a change in the contour of the cellulite treated areas.
How many treatments before I begin to see results?
Some women begin to see results with the first few treatments, and others notice changes after 6-8 sessions. The optimum frequency of treatments is twice a week but can be done once per week. There are some packages available.
Is the treatment comfortable?
It’s a relaxing and pleasant massage like treatment that will be individually adjusted to your comfort level.
Does everyone receive the same treatment?
You will receive a treatment based on your specific body type with a concentration on problem areas. It is imperative to have an overall body treatment in each session for the benefit of stimulated circulation and the most effective results.
Do I have to follow any diet or exercise guidelines?
It is necessary to drink plenty of water and keep active to maximize the results. With a healthy diet and exercise, the results appear more quickly and will last longer. This treatment is also detoxifying and explains the importance of eating healthy, drinking a lot of water and exercising. It will also get rid of the “trapped” fat cells that you would not be able to eliminate otherwise.
