Cellulite
Why is cellulite so common and how can it be treated safely?
Most women have some degree of cellulite, which has a multifactorial origin, involving diet, sedentary lifestyle, hormonal factors, and even medication use. Treatment must be multidisciplinary, taking into account the various associated factors. Medical options include radiofrequency (controlled heating that stimulates circulation and improves skin laxity), infrared, poly-L-lactic acid, and micro- and macrofocused ultrasound.
Localized Fat
Is it possible to reduce resistant fat deposits?
Even people with healthy habits can develop fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, saddlebags, and inner thighs, in both men and women. Technologies such as ultrasound, radiofrequency, and cryolipolysis help eliminate these cells. The number of sessions and the most suitable technology depend on medical evaluation, taking into account body type and lifestyle.
Stretch Marks
Why do stretch marks appear and when should they be treated?
Stretch marks arise from the rupture of the skin's elastic fibers, common during puberty, pregnancy, weight gain, or increased muscle mass. The earlier the treatment, the better the results, especially for recent (red) stretch marks. Available resources include fractional laser, peels, fillers, and drug delivery (microneedling with specific active ingredients).
Body Laxity
How can dermatology help with skin firmness?
Laxity is progressive and intensifies after age 30, influenced by genetic factors and weight fluctuations. It occurs due to a decrease in the quantity and quality of collagen fibers. In addition to a balanced diet and adequate supplementation, medical treatments include radiofrequency, biostimulators, microfocused ultrasound, and poly-L-lactic acid. Regular physical activity enhances the results.
Hands
What care helps preserve the youthfulness of the hands?
With aging, hands lose fat, collagen, and elasticity, resulting in laxity and texture changes. Today, dermatology offers treatments with lasers, fillers, and biostimulators, which can restore a healthier, more harmonious appearance to the hands.
Knees
How can the laxity and appearance of the knees be improved?
The knees may show skin and muscle laxity, as well as changes related to hormonal factors, fluid retention, and cellulite. Technologies such as radiofrequency and microfocused ultrasound are indicated to act on different layers of the skin, helping improve the firmness and contour of the area.
