• Help me to understand, what is cellulite?

Cellulite is not fat, rather a toxic body condition combined with edema (fluid in the tissue) and lack of circulation. Cellulite is best described as a condition of uneven deposits of fat, water and wastes that have become trapped in connective tissues of the body, just below the skin's surface. Common but not exclusive areas where cellulite can be found are hips, abdomen, thighs, buttocks and even upper arms. A person does not have to be overweight to have cellulite as thin and physically active people are affected as well. Toxic accumulation and fluid retention are major contributing factors in the formation of cellulite, including loss of blood flow to an area from lack of exercise, clogged arteries, and nutritional deficiencies can all have significant impact on cellulite development.

• Body by Melisa utilizes FDA approved Dermosonic® method and Far Infrared Sauna for optimal cellulite reduction

Dermosonic® offers the most effective treatments available for cellulite reduction. Dermosonic® cellulite reduction treatments can reduce cellulite, increase your metabolism to help burn fat, help decongest your lymph system and assist the client to achieve a healthier, more toned and fit body. Dermosonic® is the first system to incorporate two complementary modalities, Ultrasound and Non-Invasive Subdermal Therapy (N.I.S.T.™) into painless and comfortable treatment sessions that act on the circulatory cause that lie behind cellulite. In combination with Dermosonic® Treatments, Body by Melisa also utilizes a synergistic Far Infrared sauna therapy to optimize your cellulite reduction treatments. Far Infrared benefits include improved circulation (cardiac output and metabolic rate), cardiovascular conditioning, removal of toxins, improved skin conditions and burning approximately 500 calories for a moderately conditioned individual. Drainage of toxic materials is accelerated as a result of the increased blood circulation and perspiration, plus, an oxygen rich blood supply helps restore the body's natural balance.
The combination of the two therapies, the dramatic and swift results they deliver in combination, Dermosonic® and Far Infrared sauna is the reason why Body by Melisa is your premier cellulite reduction spa.

• Pre Liposuction and Post-Liposuction Enhancement

Pre-liposuction, Cellulite Reduction with Dermosonic® ultrasound is an excellent and recommended method for treating cellulite prior to surgery. In a sense, ultrasound "liquefies" toxins contained in fat cells which can then easily be aspirated and manipulated using low volume suction during N.I.S.T.™ What does this mean to the client? Plastic surgeons have noted that liposuction surgery is performed more easily and thoroughly when using this technique providing more precise sculpting and shaping of the tissue.

Post-liposuction, Dermosonic® N.I.S.T™ is used to smooth the skins texture and any contour irregularities. Benefits also include reduction in post operative swelling and bruising while increasing blood flow to improve healing time, aiding clients to recover faster and healthier.
