Treating cellulite holistically
Treat cellulite in a targeted way with the High Care Longevity Concept
Cellulite affects many women and often shows up as fine dimples on the thighs, buttocks or hips. What looks harmless on the outside can have complex causes in the tissue.
Cellulite, colloquially also called orange-peel skin, is a gynoid lipodystrophy – a structural change in the subcutaneous fatty tissue. Enlarged fat chambers push outwards through weakened connective tissue. Cellulite affects mainly women and shows up primarily on the thighs, buttocks and hips.
Weak connective tissue as well as hormonal and genetic factors play a central causal role. The severity of cellulite is divided into different stages. Typical consequences are an irregular skin surface, impaired microcirculation and a slowed lymph flow. Since it is a functional connective tissue problem, sport or diets alone are usually not enough to improve cellulite sustainably.
Several factors work together in the development of cellulite. In addition to genetically determined weak connective tissue, hormonal changes, reduced microcirculation and altered fat distribution in the subcutaneous fatty tissue influence the complexion. Lack of exercise, an unbalanced diet and persistent stress can further intensify the appearance of orange-peel skin.
Cellulite and lipedema both affect the connective and fatty tissue, but differ fundamentally. While cellulite is an aesthetic structural change with typical dimpling and is not inflammatory, lipedema is a chronic fat distribution disorder that is often accompanied by pain and inflammatory processes. A clear medical distinction is crucial in order to choose the appropriate form of therapy.
The cellulite treatment within the High Care Longevity Concept goes far beyond a classic cosmetic application. It specifically addresses the functional causes – non-invasive, deep-acting and scientifically grounded. The basis is the interplay of intermittent vacuum therapy, device-based lymphatic drainage and targeted tissue activation. The goal is to improve microcirculation, activate lymph flow and lastingly firm the skin structure.
Vacustyler Avantgarde® – activate lymph flow, improve oxygen supply – In the Vacustyler Avantgarde®, the lower body is exposed to rhythmically alternating vacuum. This treatment acts like an external pulse generator for the vascular system. The venous-lymphatic return flow is stimulated, fine capillaries open and the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue improves.
Slide Styler® – gentle, device-based lymphatic drainage – The Slide Styler® then supports the cellulite treatment with gentle, wave-like pressure on the legs. The application resembles an automated lymphatic drainage and promotes the removal of released fluids.
SPM® – targeted tissue stimulation – The SPM® method (Subcutaneous Pressure Massage) works specifically in the connective tissue, delivering controlled mechanical impulses. The aim is to loosen hardened tissue structures, improve circulation and activate the local metabolism.
For support in everyday life, two proven companions are recommended that usefully complement the treatment.
A nourishing body cream with arnica, ivy and vitamin E that supports microcirculation and visibly improves the complexion.
An aromatic blend of green tea, mate, lapacho and rooibos, known for its draining and immune-strengthening properties and ideal as an accompanying measure.
Our holistic High Care Longevity cellulite therapy is particularly suitable for:
• Stages I–III of cellulite
• A feeling of heavy or tense legs
• Reduced skin elasticity
• An irregular skin structure despite exercise and a healthy diet
• Professional aftercare following liposuction
Stage 0: No visible change, but microcirculation already impaired
Stage I: Dimples only visible when the skin is compressed. Stage II: Unevenness is visible when standing
Stage III: Nodular hardening, connective tissue strands, possibly tenderness to pressure. The earlier cellulite is recognised, the better conservative therapy works. Our High Care Longevity Concept is ideal for preventive measures and sustainable treatment.
A combination of lymph activation, tissue drainage and promotion of microcirculation – as implemented systemically by Weyergans. Creams or massages alone are not enough.
No. Cellulite affects the skin surface and the connective tissue; lipedema is a chronic fat distribution disorder with inflammation. The causes and treatment concepts differ significantly.
Cellulite is an aesthetically visible change in the connective tissue – harmless but often bothersome. Cellulitis, on the other hand, is a bacterial inflammation of the skin that requires medical treatment. The two terms are often confused in everyday life.
Gentle exercise (e.g. swimming, walking, aqua fitness) supports the lymph. For many women, the combination with passive therapies such as IVT is particularly helpful.
Often there is a local lack of circulation, oxygen supply and elastic connective tissue. Reduced lymph flow can also play a role.
Cellulite cannot be removed completely, but it can be visibly and tangibly improved – through targeted, systemic treatment instead of purely cosmetic measures.
