Cellulite Therapy Cellulite is caused by fat cells pressing against the fibrous strands that run between the muscle and skin. When the fat cells expand with weight gain, the surrounding fibers cannot stretch to accommodate that growth. Some fat cells press through the gaps between these strands, resulting in a dimpled effect on the skin. Cellulite is typically a problem in the thigh and buttock area; however, some people have cellulite in other areas of the body as well. It can be seen in young and old people alike, as well as underweight or overweight people. Until now, doctors have not been able to find an effective method for treating cellulite. Weight loss can typically help diminish the problem, but it often doesn't eliminate the appearance of cellulite completely. In addition, acoustic wave therapy for cellulite, body wraps and massage can't address the structural problem that causes cellulite, and therefore they only provide a temporary solution. "Accent your body" - New FDA-Approved Device Accent cellulite therapy uses MSQ technology, which is a combination of radio-frequency and electrical energies. The type of energy that is produced from this device painlessly stretches the fibrous bands, thereby reducing the dimpling effect of cellulite. During this cellulite therapy procedure, the fat cells are also broken down and absorbed into the body, creating a smoother appearance on the skin. Most patients see an overall reduction in their stomach, thigh and hip size after undergoing this treatment option.  Patients also notice tighter, smoother skin and a decrease in the appearance of cellulite.
