Cellulite Reduction

The unsightly dimpling of skin that happens due to the herniation of subcutaneous fat through the fibrous tissue of the skin occurs for many reasons, and is prevalent in a large proportion of the fairer sex. Whatever the cause is, methods to reduce this is available. These include non-invasive methods that use radio-frequency and massage therapy, to invasive treatments the involve breaking the bands of fibrous tissue that contribute to the dimpled look.

Cellulite Reduction Treatments & Programmes

Therapy aims at increasing local circulation, reducing fluid retention, and releasing the fibrous tissue that cause the tethering of the skin’s surface. A combination of approaches are typically advised for a longer lasting, optimal result.

Subcision

Subcision effectively targets the cause of the dimpling – the strong fibrous bands of tissue that allow fat to herniate past them and to the skin.

A needle is placed into the skin and used to manually break these bands of tissue,  allowing underlying fat to smoothen out beneath the skin.

2-3 sessions done over 2-4 months produce optimal results.

Radiesse FIller

Radiesse, a long term collagen stimulator, is added to the skin after subcision, providing a filling effect and synergistically improving the healing rate and overall appearance of the skin

What is Cellulite?

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite occurs due to shrinkage or shortening of the fibrous tissue cords that anchor the skin, it is the formation of lumps and dimples in the skin, usually situated at the hips, buttocks, and abdomen. Cellulite occurs in both men and women, but it is more common in women due to the the different distributions of fat, muscle, and connective tissue.

There are different “grades” of cellulite:

  • Grade 1: between 1 and 4 superficial depressions, and a slightly “draped” or sagging appearance to the skin.

  • Grade 2: between five and nine medium-depth depressions, a “cottage cheese” appearance, and the skin appears moderately draped.

  • Grade 3: There is a “mattress” appearance, with 10 or more deep depressions, and the skin is severely draped.

What to Expect

Step 1

All Restylane® Kysse fillers come with lidocaine, an anesthetic, to ensure that your treatment is relaxing and entirely comfortable. Initially, a topical anesthetic will be applied on the injection site to numb the area.

Step 2

Our aesthetic doctor will begin the procedure with the first injection using an ultra-fine needle, before taking a pause to allow the lidocaine in Restylane® Kysse to further numb the lip area.

Step 3

The procedure then continues until the treated area shows the desired results. Thereafter, the injected area will be massaged to ensure that the filler gel is distributed evenly across the lips for natural results.

Restylane Kysse Frequently Asked Questions
Am I an ideal candidate for Restylane® Kysse Lip Fillers?

Patients should not use Kysse lip filler if they:

  • Have a history of severe allergic reactions.

  • Have had a previous allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid fillers.

  • Are allergic to anesthetics, like lidocaine.

While both of these are hyaluronic acid lip fillers, they have slightly different formulas. Restylane® Kysse adds volume and enhances your existing lip shape and symmetry to create smooth, natural-looking lips. It can also treat smoker’s lines, or commonly known as wrinkles around the mouth.

Juvederm, on the other hand, is a great option for patients who are looking for a more voluminous look. When deciding on which lip filler, it depends on the look you want to achieve.

Due to the different formulations, Restylane® Kysse has a unique structure that lasts longer than other fillers. Most dermal lip fillers last around 9 months, however you can expect results lasting up to 12 months with Restylane® Kysse.

The discomfort experienced during the treatment varies from person to person and depends on factors such as:

  • Sensitivity of the patient

  • Pain tolerance of the patient

  • Anxiety level of the patient

Restylane® Kysse comes with anesthetic inside the gel already, hence discomfort is at its minimum.

All lip fillers have some mild side effects. You may experience some slight swelling and bruising on the injected area, but these should go away within 7 days.

  • As with other lip fillers treatment, a cold compress may be applied to the injected area to reduce swelling.

  • Avoid touching the injected area for at least 6 hours so that you do not accidentally injure your skin while the area is numb. Thereafter, the treatment area can be gently washed with soap and water.

  • Minimise strenuous exercise and exposure to excess heat, sun, or UV rays for the first 24 hours. Exposure to these may cause temporary redness, swelling, or itching at the treated area.

Full aftercare instructions will also be provided after the treatment.
