Cellulite is the increase of fat cells surrounded by connective tissue in the subcutaneous region, stretching the connective tissue and loss of elasticity of the skin as a result of changes in the connective tissue whose nutrition is impaired. Genetic predisposition, sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet are the main factors in increasing the problem of cellulite. On the other hand, excessive and irregular weight gain and loss and pregnancy can also trigger the formation of cellulite.
Regulation of the patient’s lifestyle and nutrition should be the first step in preventing and reducing cellulite formation. Mesotherapy is one of the most effective methods in the treatment of cellulite. In the application made with thin short needles to the middle layer of the skin, the cellulite area is covered with fat-degrading, circulation-accelerating, skin-tightening and restructuring drugs and herbal-based cocktails are given.
Ozone Therapy for Cellulite; Ozone is effective in cellulite through different mechanisms. It reacts with the double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids accumulated in the skin, causing the fat chains to be broken. Fragmented fats are excreted from the body. In addition, it increases the oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells and accelerates the metabolism of adipose tissue by improving blood flow in the capillaries.
Regular medical massages and exercises are other treatments for cellulite.
