Millions of men and women throughout South Africa diet and exercise every day. Unfortunately, diet and exercise only minimally improve the ripples and dimples caused by cellulite. These traditional efforts for slimming down and shaping up are directed at muscle groups and fat deposits. They have little effect on the elasticity of connective tissue fibers under the skin. Now an exciting new cellulite treatment program called Silhouette Sculpting uses advanced Silhouette™ technology to combine subatmospheric pressure with a state-of-the-art mechanical massage to enhance your slimmer, trimmer figure and diminish the rippling effects of cellulite. This therapy is helping women and men enjoy remarkable results after only a few weeks. The treatments enable patients to realize an actual reduction in the appearance of cellulite, a marked improvement in skin tone and a decrease in the volume of the figure. how do silhouette sculpting treatments work? This unique approach to an improved figurecombines deep massage with diet and exercise to stimulate your body to reduce the appearance of cellulite, while redefining the figure. Silhouette Therapy uses a gentle suction to fold and massage your subdermis where the cellulite condition resides. This increases circulation and stimulates the subcutaneous and deep layers of fat and muscle. The increased blood flow helps to shrink the fat cells and this is believed to be one of the reasons for the improvement in the appearance of cellulite.  The septae that wall off the fat tissue and create the dimpling also are broken down, helping smooth the appearance.  Weight loss by itself has very little effect upon the appearance of cellulite. Silhouette Sculpting also stimulates lymphatic drainage in the areas treated. The mechanical action of the Silhouette™ hand piece also stimulates the dermis, improves circulation and increases the exfoliation of skin cells which adds to the enhanced appearance of the skin. what results can i expect?Silhouette Therapy efficiently produces lasting results in thirty-five minute sessions applied through a course of weekly sessions. While each patient’s results differ, within six weeks most patients begin to see the results.
