Cellulite and skin tightening doesn't have to keep you down.
Cellulite is found in over 80% of women, and a much smaller percentage of men. In mild cases, cellulite can be seen when the skin is pinched in certain areas, while in severe cases, bumpy skin with peaks and valleys is a constant.
Although the causes of cellulite are not entirely known, it is believed that hormones, genetics, diet, and a high-stress lifestyle can all contribute to its formation. Weight gain is not necessarily a direct cause, because thin people can certainly have cellulite as well.
Another common skin complaint is loose skin. This can be caused by weight loss or from just natural aging. Although our weight loss patients experience significantly less sagging skin than from other methods, some want to maximize their results as a reward to themselves.
To treat both cellulite and sagging skin here in Newburgh, Indiana, we use a device called the Accent XL. We offer it to help patients reduce cellulite in the Evansville area. The radiofrequency technology that it uses also helps our patients with tightening skin, including on the face and neck.
Through our experience, as well as in clinical studies, the Accent XL tightens loose skin, causes collagen to form, and also improves the contour of the body. It works by heating an area of the dermis (inner layer of the skin) with radiofrequency technology, which causes new collagen to form. The collagen helps return skin to being smooth and elastic-feeling.
Accent XL requires about three to six 45-minute treatments, usually about two to four weeks apart. The number of treatments is dependent on the area of the body being treated. Besides the results, the best part about Accent XL is that the procedure does not require anesthesia. The procedure feels like a warm massage and patients can literally leave our office and go right back to continue their day. Slight redness and warmth of the skin might appear, but will be gone in less than 24 hours.
