Our staff here at New Image Cosmetic Surgery is proud to announce the addition of our “New Image Cellulite Center”. Our state-of-the-art Cellulite Center is your “one stop shop for body contouring”, our highly trained specialist are available to accommodate you by offering four technologies; VASER Shape, VENUS Concept, Tri-Active and Endermologie, each of which are non-invasive procedures with proven results in, cellulite reduction, immediate inch loss, collagen production and body contouring.

VENUS CONCEPT-This patented of bi-polar radio frequency (RF) along with (MP) ², which work in synergy to effectively reduce cellulite. (MP) ² induces the release of growth factors required for the proliferation of dermal fibroblast, as well as for the sprouting of new blood vessels. In addition, the RF component of (MP) ² increases collagen and elastin synthesis through controlled thermal damage mechanism, and triggers enzyme mediated lipolysis. These effects lead to decreased subcutaneous fat mass, improved blood circulation and stabilization of collagen strands, resulting in cellulite reduction.

VASER Shape- Patients interested in treating areas of unwanted fat will undergo a series of 45 minute therapies.  The therapy has two parts: first the focused ultrasound waves dissolve the fat, and then the lymphatic massage moves it towards the lymph nodes for removal.  Depending on the area being treated, most patients require 3-6 sessions to obtain optimal results. Three to four days after each treatment, a brief 5 minute lymphatic massage is used to further assist in the removal of fat waste by-products.

Tri-Active-uses an innovative and painless treatment suitable for all body and skin types. A comfortable mechanical massage/rhythmic aspiration distends the skin in various directions to enhance microcirculation, thereby increasing skin elasticity and improving lymphatic. Six diode lasers penetrate tissue to stimulate fibroblasts for collagen production, yielding smoother, healthier-looking skin. The system can be used in combination with other    therapies to enhance the outcomes of surgical and non-surgical procedures such as liposuction and dermal fillers.

Endermologie- Endermologie is a non-invasive, FDA approved technique for comprehensive cellulite reduction. Similar to a deep tissue massage, an Endermologie treatment goes over the skin’s problem areas with dual action rollers, while simultaneously using suction to redistribute skin and smooth away dimpling. Endermologie is a pain- free procedure with no side effects. Since your muscles are worked over like a massage, a slight soreness afterwards is expected. After repeated sessions, a patient will see cellulite fade away as the skin takes on a smoother, more even appearance.
