Cellulite and Stretchmarks Treatment

Are you bothered by cellulite or stretchmarks making your skin look saggy, lumpy, dimple-like especially around your hips and thighs? Have you tried over-the-counter products to help reduce the appearance? If so, your solution is at Center for Dermatology, Laser and Cosmetic Surgery. At Center for Dermatology, Laser and Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Harold F. Farber, M.D. has over 30 years of experience with treating cellulite and stretchmarks.

Cellulite is a common skin disorder where the skin appears lumpy and dimpled due to fat deposits entering connective tissues underneath the skin. It can affect both men and women but commonly found in women. Individuals described cellulite as having an “orange-peel” appearance. There is not a clear indicator of what causes cellulite but hormones, diet, and lifestyle can contribute to cellulite.

Stretch marks are another common skin disorder that happens when collagen and elasticity in our skin are abruptly ruptured causing scars to form in striations. These striations can vary from having a reddish-pinkish hue to a dark brown-tannish hue. There is no specific underlying cause for stretch marks but factors such as rapid weight gain and loss, pregnancy and weight training can contribute to stretch marks. Over time they can reduce in appearance but may never fully disappear.

At Center for Dermatology, Laser and Cosmetic Surgery, we offer the latest lasers designed with radiofrequency and infrared lighting to help target these problems areas. These lasers are specifically designed to help reduce the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks by:

• Breaking down the fat
• Uptake collagen production
• Increase skin color, texture, and elasticity

These laser procedures can range from minimal to non-invasive.
