Edematous-fibrosclerotic panniculopathy of adipose tissue, better and more familiarly known as cellulite, represents one of the main imperfections afflicting about 80% of women.
Today cellulite makes its appearance already before the age of 20, localizing, mainly, outside the thighs, in the lateral area of the pelvis, inside the thighs, on the buttocks.
We remind you here that it is precisely from the study of the causes and the combined application of small quantities of drugs, advanced biotechnologies and nutritional classification, with diet customization, that the GENESYS Medical Center has successfully developed and applied the Method LEVA.LY.S. (Lipodissolve and Electric Vascular Lymphatic Stimulation) for the correct diagnosis and treatment of cellulite and orange peel skin.
The adipose panniculus, tissue placed anatomically under the skin, is an active reserve of energy, linked to the individual metabolism, scientifically defined caloric balance; when the caloric balance decreases (greater physical activity or less introduction of calories with food) the reserve is reduced (lipolysis); when the caloric balance increases (less physical activity or excessive introduction of calories with food) fat deposition occurs (liposynthesis).
Like all tissues also the adipose panniculus has a supporting scaffold (the reticular tissue and the collagen) and a vascularization, called microcirculation; through the vascularization the adipose tissue supplies energy to the organism or accumulates it, in the form of fat.
Hormonal and vascular alterations, often aggravated by a sedentary lifestyle, stress, liver disease, improper or balanced nutrition, irregular bowel function and marked water retention, variously combined, are the causes that negatively affect adipose tissue and in particular on the microcirculation.
In these cases the fat cells break; their content, the triglycerides, spreads in the space between the cells compressing the microcirculation and preventing its correct functioning.
The persistence over time of these anatomical-metabolic alterations, produces the development of further alterations of the adipose tissue (lipodystrophy); changes that produce both an increase in the volume and consistency of the supporting tissue and a reduction in the size (by compression) and elasticity of the blood vessels in the microcirculation.
The LEVA.LY.S. Method associates:
* the medical evaluation of the degree of cellulite
* the study of the vascularization of adipose tissue
* the nutritional profile, through the hormonal and metabolic study of the patient and a customization of the diet therapy, agreed with the patient herself
* the introduction, in the areas of accumulation of subcutaneous adipose tissue, of very small amounts of phosphatidylcholine (Lipodissolve), through the use of extremely thin needles; this determines the lysis of adipose cells (adipocytes)
* the application of biotechnology: electric fields generated by pulsed microcurrents, with variable frequency, with action of activation of the arterial, venous and lymphatic microcirculation of the subcutaneous tissue, anti-edema action and muscle strengthening; substantially the electromagnetic fields, applied at the introduction site of the Lipodissolve, act on the vascular structures of the microcirculation, producing an increase in the capacity of the vascular and lymphatic walls to be crossed by substances released by the adipocyte lysis; this mechanism allows the elimination of these substances through the urine
