SilkLight™ Cellulite Treatments

Millions of men and women throughout the United States diet and exercise every day.

Unfortunately, diet and exercise do not improve the ripples and dimples caused by cellulite.

These traditional efforts for slimming down and shaping up are directed at the muscle groups and fat deposits. They have little effect on the elasticity of connective tissue fibers under the skin.

The exciting new cellulite treatment program uses advanced SilkLight technology to combine subatmospheric pressure with a state-of-the-art mechanical massage to enhance your slimmer, trimmer figure and eliminate the rippling effects of cellulite.

SilkLight treatments are helping women and men throughout the United States enjoy remarkable results after only a few weeks. The SilkLight 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 SilkLight treatments work?

This unique approach to an improved figure combines massage with diet and exercise to stimulate your body and reduce the appearance of cellulite, while redefining your figure.

SilkLight treatments use gentle suction to fold and massage your hyperdermis where the cellulite condition resides. This increases circulation and stimulates the subcutaneous and deep layers of fat and muscle. The increased bloodflow helps to shrink the fat cells. This is believed to be one of the reasons for the improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

The mechanical action of the SilkLight hand piece also stimulates the dermis, improves circulation and increases the exfoliation of skin cells which adds to the enhanced appearance of the skin.

How are SilkLight Cellulite treatments different from Liposuction?

SilkLight treatments are not a surgical procedure. They do not break the skin in any way.

How soon will I see results?

Usually patients notice changes within 6 or 8 sessions. However, 14 is the average number of treatments recommended for maximum results.

How many SilkLight treatments can I have in one week?

Two treatment sessions per week are recommended. If you are on a diet, or in the process of losing a significant amount of weight, or if you have long-term problematic cellulite, one treatment a week is recommended provided you maintain proper nutrition.

How long do treatment sessions take?

Each treatment session lasts about 30 minutes, with focus on your problem areas, but time is given to other areas to stimulate circulation and the elimination of fatty acid.

Who are the best candidates for SilkLight treatments?

The best candidates for SilkLight cellulite treatments are men and women who are:

• less than 30 lbs. overweight.
• are in generally good health.
• have good skin tone.
• have realistic expectations.
• are motivated to exercise & diet.
• will drink 1-2 quarts of water per day.

What results can you expect?

SilkLight treatments efficiently produce lasting results in thirty-minute sessions applied through a course of weekly sessions. Within six weeks patients begin to see the results. One patient photographed above realized a dramatic reduction in the girth of her thighs and now wears a dress two sizes smaller. While your results may differ, you should notice some reduction in girth, and the appearance of stretch marks, dimpling and loose skin will be improved.

Do SilkLight Treatments replace diet and excercise?

No. We highly recommend that you add diet and exercise to your daily routine while you are undergoing SilkLight treatments. For most patients, this improves results. Many patients feel that they are able to lose weight more easily while in our treatment program.
