»Acoustic Wave Therapy™« for effective cellulite treatment
Cellulite – the fight for
smooth skin
Cellulite only affects women owing to their genetic pre-dis-
position to the disorder. It typically appears on the thighs,
buttocks and upper arms. The connective tissue is soft and
elastic and exhibits a wide-meshed network of collagen
fibres to enable stretching during pregnancy. An imbalance
between fat production (lipogenesis) and fat breakdown
(lipolysis) within the cells leads to the formation of large
fat cells that are typical of cellulite. Owing to the wide-
meshed, soft structure of the connective tissue, these fat
cells bulge upwards towards the surface of the skin, giving
the skin the typical dimpled orange peel appearance.
