Sciton BBL SkinTyte for Cellulite Treatment

Question

Many clinics market SkinTyte as an effective Cellulite Treatment. How effective is it? I am especially interested to find out SkinTyte effectiveness on severe cellulite. I am pretty fit (exercise 5-6 days a week), but a little bit overweight (excess fat is concentrated around thighs), everything else is pretty slim. I do not have problems with skin laxity. I will be happy with any discernible improvement - right now I am extremely embarrassed to go out on a beach in a swimming suit.

I am familiar with the sciton system and have had good results with the following options:

	The SkinTyte treatment uses pulsed light technology to deeply heat your skin while cooling and protecting the surface.  This process promotes partial denaturation and contraction of collagen.  The heat also initiates the body's natural healing process which creates a renewed collagen foundation leading to increased skin firmness. A series of 3 treatments spaced a month apart is most typical.  This is noninvasive and requires no particular after care.

	Another option is laser body contour with the LipoPro plus as from sciton.  This treatment involves small incisions (2-3mm).  A laser tip is inserted into the desired area and a laser delivers energy just below the surface of the skin.  This Si typically done with liposuction but can be done as a stand alone procedure in certain patients.  Usually this is done in the office and patients return to work the next day.  Optimal results are noted at 3-6 months.  Hope this helps.  Good luck!

(video attached) I personally have no experience with the system you refer to.  The system I am using for cellulite reduction is called Reaction from Viora. This is a radiofrequency system that has shown results in reduction in the appearance of cellulite, reduction in fat, and in skin tightening.  The clincal studies show a 55% improvement in the appearance of cellulite. This means that the severity of your cellulite may be reduced 1-2 grades.  For example if you have grade 3 cellulite (visible dimpling and lumpiness), after treatments you may become a grade 2 (no visible dimpling unless you are actually pinching your skin).  Everyone is different so an evaluation with a physician experienced using Reaction is necessary to inform you about the results that are realistic for you.  I have used several of the other systems out there designed for cellulite reduction and am most impressed with tis one.  Attached is a video of me explaining this system but on my website are more videos of me demonstrating this system on The Doctors and on CBS.

Cellfina is specifically for cellulite and skin type effect would be less noticeable and require maintenance visits. Cellfina lasts after a single session can last 2 or more years.

I recommend you learn more about Cellulaze - the FDA approved one time definitive treatment for cellulite.  Cellulaze utilizes a 1440 nm wavelength laser to accomplish 3 things:  1) melt away fat bulging out 2) break up fibrous septae (attachments) that create the indentations and 3) help thicken the dermis (skin) to prevent future recurrence.   The procedure can take between 60-90 minutes and can be completed under local or just IV sedation (depending on the length of your procedure and number of areas being treated). To see your final results takes between 3-6 months. You can visit the cellulaze . com website to learn more about the procedure. Best of luck!

A good candidate for Cellulaze is if you have dimpling that will not respond to diet and exercise. Also being in good health will better your results of Cellulaze.
