Especially in summer, many women want to wear shorts, skirts or dresses and show themselves off in a bikini on the beach or at the swimming pool. However, this pleasure is usually spoiled by unsightly dimples on the thighs and buttocks. Around nine out of ten women over the age of 30 are affected by so-called “orange peel skin”. Cellulite is neither a question of weight nor a disease. And neither creams or peelings, nor sport and diets can combat cellulite in the long term – because the actual cause lies deep in the skin, in the connective tissue. The structure of the female connective tissue ensures that the unsightly dimples develop almost exclusively in women: The female epidermis and dermis are thinner than those of men, and the fat cells in the subcutis are thicker and only loosely connected to each other in the connective tissue. Cellulite is caused by shortened and inelastic fibers in the connective tissue that connect skin and tissue – the fibers pull the skin downwards, causing the typical dimples and bumps to form. In plastic and aesthetic medicine, two methods have proven to be particularly successful against cellulite. The fat-away injection and the new “Cellfina”® method guarantee smooth, firm and beautiful skin on the legs and buttocks.
Cellfina® willreduce the appearance of cellulite after a single treatment The areas of the body to be treated are sucked in and held in place by a vacuum. The device, which was specially developed by Cellfina® for this purpose, loosens the fibers in the connective tissue. The epidermis, which was previously under tension, is then smoothed – and the cellulite disappears overnight. The first results are visible after just a few days of the first treatment session.

The fat-away injection works a bit like magic
With the fat-away injection, it really is a bit like magic. The active ingredients, phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid, are extracted from soybeans and occur naturally in the body’s fat metabolism. By injecting the substances, the fat cells are dissolved and then automatically removed by the body. Depending on the extent of the problem areas to be treated, the therapy only takes a few minutes, so it can practically be carried out during a lunch break. But the results are permanent – no new fatty tissue can form in these areas. You can find out more about fat removal injections here.
