This cult-favorite cellulite treatment turns back time

The Aivee Unison may be the answer to all our cellulite woes

- By MARELLA RICKETTS

Ihad always assumed that cellulite was a problem I would be dealing with far, far into the future. Little did I know that as I started to enter my mid-20s, I would notice dimples—not on my face, but on my thighs. “Cellulite is not there in an instant. It develops gradually over a period of time until it becomes more visible,” a doctor told me once. Being faced with this problem got me thinking, what is cellulite anyway and is there a way to reduce its appearance?

Commonly occurring in the thigh region, cellulite is the dimpled-looking skin that forms when fatty tissue deep in the skin pushes up against the connective tissue. In simpler words, it shows up when there is a buildup of fat underneath the skin. While the exact cause of it is unknown, there are a number of factors that may contribute to this, regardless of your weight or size: hormones, your age, genetics, diet and your lifestyle. Hormones explain why up to 90 percent of all women have cellulite and why it is uncommon to see it in men. However, don’t lose any hope—while there are certain factors you simply cannot control, others, such as diet and lifestyle, can be improved to help slow down its process. In addition to this, modern technology has come up with innovative treatments to help drasticall­y reduce the appearance of cellulite.

The A Institite offers a service that specifical­ly targets this concern: their Aivee Unison. The treatment is the only non-invasive device eliminatin­g all main causes of cellulite appearance simultaneo­usly. This is done by by combining two highly effective technologi­es called Monopolar Radiofrequ­ency and Targeted Pressure Energy. The combinatio­n of these two diminishes fat chambers, stimulates collages production and restores the elasticity of the skin.

In no time, an appointmen­t was booked and I found myself on the way to The A Institute in Burgos Circle for an Aivee Unison treatment. When they asked me which area I wanted them to focus on, I didn’t think much before blurting out, “My thighs.” The procedure itself all happened very quickly—you simply lie down while the machine runs over specific parts of your skin. There is no pain at all—the only thing that you will feel is a little heat with minimal vibrations. I was surprised to find out that after 20 minutes, the treatment was over. This makes it easier to simply pop in the clinic in the middle of a busy day.

One session can definitely go a long way. In the middle of the treatment, I was told that patients typically go for four sessions scheduled one week apart for maximum results. After my first one, however, I already noticed a change in the appearance of my thighs. This is due to the fact that Aivee Unison goes deeper by treating all five causes of cellulite: diminished fat chambers, collagen remodeling, restored skin elasticity, blood flow enhancemen­t and increase in metabolic waste removal. In addition to this, results typically continue to improve over the next few months. Another great part about this treatment? No downtime!

One important thing to remember is while these treatments can work wonders on your skin, it should be complement­ed with a healthy lifestyle for optimal, long-term results. A diet low in fat, ending bad habits such as smoking and adhering to regular exercise are some ways that can help. After all, you simply have to do your own part as well.
