Most women can count themselves as part of the 85% who are affected by cellulite! Cellulite is a common concern affecting most women — regardless of their body type or weight — often due to hormonal factors.
Despite its prevalence, much misinformation surrounds this condition, from its causes to its treatment options. But what if we told you that a revolutionary new technology could help transform your body from dimpled to sculpted?
Enter Morpheus8 Body, the latest advancement in body contouring that smooths, tightens, and tones the skin like never before! We’ll explore everything one would need to know about cellulite, its causes, and how Morpheus8 Body can help women get closer to achieving the body of their dreams!
Why Do I Have Cellulite?
Often referred to by its lay terms like “orange peel” or “cottage cheese” skin, most of us know precisely what is being spoken about: cellulite!
Cellulite occurs in many areas of the body and affects most women and also men! Evidence suggests that various environmental and genetic factors cause cellulite and fat to appear in the subcutaneous tissue.
The uneven surface caused by cellulite is attributed to various factors, including poor lymph flow, excess fat, connective tissue bands, and subcutaneous tissue. Despite the common misconception that cellulite only affects overweight people, even lean patients can have cellulite, which often sits atop underlying muscle.
Dimpled skin occurs in different body areas but is most commonly seen on the thighs, buttocks, and upper arms. Cellulite can also form in tough bands on the back and knees. In addition, as you age, skin loses elasticity, often making it seem like more cellulite is in the area.
No matter your age or body type, there are ways to manage cellulite and restore your confidence!
What Nonsurgical Treatment Options Can I Consider for Cellulite?
If you have cellulite, you may have heard of various alternative treatments such as caffeine creams, dry brushing, deep massage, infrared light, and grape seed extract creams.
While these home remedies may temporarily reduce cellulite’s appearance, they are not particularly effective in the long term. Caffeine creams, for example, temporarily shrink fat cells, but their effects are short-lived.
Dry brushing and massage may improve blood flow and temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite, but they do not address the condition’s underlying causes. Infrared light and grape seed extract creams are also marketed as cellulite treatments, but their effectiveness is mainly unproven, especially for cellulite resulting from genetic factors.
For a more effective and long-lasting solution, many people turn to nonsurgical treatments like Morpheus8 Body, which can improve cellulite’s appearance by addressing its underlying causes!
What Is Morpheus8 Body?
Morpheus8 Body is a revolutionary technology that uses microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of cellulite. The treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production — essential components for healthy skin!
The RF energy also helps break down fat cells and improve lymphatic drainage, resulting in smoother, firmer skin. The Morpheus8 Body technology is based on the principles of fractional radiofrequency, a proven technology used in medical aesthetics for skin rejuvenation and tightening.
How Does Morpheus8 Body Work?
During the treatment, a handheld device with tiny needles creates microchannels to deliver radiofrequency energy 8mm beneath the skin to target cellulite and fat cells.
The RF energy heats up the subcutaneous tissue, causing it to contract and tighten. At the same time, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for skin elasticity and firmness.
The treatment is customizable, with the depth of the needles and the intensity of the radiofrequency energy being adjustable based on your specific needs and desired outcomes.
Overall, Morpheus8 Body is a safe and effective treatment that can significantly improve cellulite’s appearance with little to no downtime and discomfort!
What Areas of the Body Can Be Treated With Morpheus8 Body Treatment?
Morpheus8 Body is a versatile treatment that can be used on various parts of the body, including:
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Back
- Buttocks
- Thighs
Morpheus8 Body’s versatility makes it an ideal solution for those seeking to target cellulite and excess fat in multiple areas of their body!
How Does Morpheus8 Body Compare to Other Cellulite Treatments?
Other treatments only target the skin’s surface, whereas Morpheus8 Body uses advanced technology to penetrate deep into the subdermal layers of the skin, leading to a smoother, firmer appearance and improved skin texture after just a few treatment sessions!
What Happens to the Fat Cells in the Treatment Area?
The heat breaks down and destroys the fat cells in the targeted area, which are then naturally eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. Over time, the treated area appears smoother and tighter, reducing the appearance of cellulite.
It’s imperative to note that while the fat cells are destroyed, the remaining fat cells can still expand if a person gains weight in their buttocks, thighs, or other treatment areas, so maintaining a healthy diet, balanced weight, and exercise program is recommended to preserve your treatment results intact.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Morpheus8 Body?
Morpheus8 Body works well for anyone looking to reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve their skin’s overall texture and tone. However, good candidates should have realistic expectations and understand that the treatment must be followed by a balanced diet and exercise.
What Results Can I Expect From My Morpheus8 Body Treatment?
Morpheus8 Body is an effective treatment that can significantly improve the appearance of “orange peel” or “cottage cheese” cellulite, excess fat, and loose skin in many areas, such as the buttocks and thighs.
Over several treatments, the energy stimulates collagen production and increases blood flow, leading to a smoother, more even skin surface.
