Frequently Asked Questions For Cellulite Treatments

What is Tri-Active™ LaserDermologySM?
LaserDermologySM is a cellulite treatment using the Tri-Active™ system. It minimizes cellulite, smoothes and tightens your face and body, pre and post liposuction procedures, enhances microcirculation, and therapeutic massage. This system was originally developed 3 years ago by laser scientists in Italy. This innovative technology is used by Physicians and spas all over the world to uncover glowing skin to thousands of individuals.

How will Tri-Active™ LaserDermologySM smooth and tighten my skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite?
The Tri-Active™ LaserDermologySM series of treatments uses deep mechanical massaging action, which works on the subcutaneous tissue beneath the skin. This mechanism increases microcirculation, restores the skin’s normal balance and provides a healthier appearance.

How soon will I notice results?
Individual results can depend on several factors: the area being treated, whether treatment is combined with another procedure, diet or exercise, your age and general condition, and the number of treatments. The procedure is typically done in a series of 10 to 15 treatments in a given area. These can be spaced as closely as 3 times a week, or as far out as once a week. In some cases it may take up to 6 to 10 treatments before you start to see significant results and maintenance is required once a month after desired results.

Is it painful?
The procedure is not painful and not even as strenuous as a traditional massage. Most individuals report that it “just feels great”!

What parts of the body can be treated?
Besides the thighs and buttocks for cellulite, most other parts of the body can be treated as well: the face, the love-handles, tummy, upper arms and neck. This procedure provides noticeable results before and after liposuction and after other aesthetic surgery, such as breast augmentation and abdominoplasty.

Who should not be treated?
Anyone that is pregnant, bronchial asthma or acute asthma, lower abdominal disorder, thrombopheletis, congestive heart failure, hyper-thyroidism, or carotid sinus syndrome. These conditions are affected with the lymphatic drainage and could case complications.

How can LaserDermologySM complement my liposuction procedure?
Because liposuction is a surgical procedure, normal results include fluid retention (edema) and slackening of the skin. LaserDermologySM treatment is recommended after surgery to accelerate the tightening of the area. Treatment prior to surgery may also have added benefits. Consult with your surgeon for what is right for you.
