Introduction
Skin elasticity decreases with age. The typical orange peel appearance on thighs, buttocks and upper arms affects 80% of all women. Cellulite has become a big issue in today's society and thus has a significant impact on the quality of life and joy of living. When women are looking for a treatment, it has to give a fast and effective solution with long lasting results.
The current cellulite treatments on the market only work on one level: the skin, subcutaneous tissue or the muscle. Institut de beauté has combined the new Acoustic Wave Therapy solution with the Power-Plate to provide an anti-cellulite solution, with unique and scientifically proven results.
The combination makes the difference: results on 3 levels!
Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT)
→ skin and subcutaneous tissue
PowerPlate®: anti-cellulite vibration exercises
→ muscles
Firming and slimming body gel
→ skin
What is cellulite?
Enlarged fat cells push the skin up and compress the circulatory system, reducing inflow of nutrients and outflow of waste products. Diminished exchanges in circulation lead to a gradual stiffening of the connective tissue, pulling down on the skin. The push/pull effect creates the appearance of dimpled skin.

Stages of Cellulite
Stage 1: initial cellulite only visible with advanced measurement tools like Cell-Meter®
Stage 2: slight dimpling of the skin surface 'pinch test' is positive
Stage 2: slight dimpling of the skin surface 'pinch test' is positive
Stage 3: dimpling and skin depressions
skin is smooth while lying down but shows orange peel look while standing
Stage 4: dimpling and severe depressions orange peel look, both standing and lying down

How it works
Extracorporeal generated pulses propagate inside the tissue in the form of acoustic waves. This ensures gentle, effective and well-targeted energy transmitted to the treated area to restore the subcutaneous tissue. During the treatment, the wall of fat cells is damaged. The contents of these fat cells, the so-called triglycerides, are releasded in the surrounding tissue and are transported to the liver for elimination. This transportation improves when you drink a lot of water daily.

Acoustic Wave Therapy; effect on skin elasticity and subcutaneous connective tissue
Before
Enlarged fat cells push the skin up and compress the circulatory system, reducing inflow of nutrients and outflow of waste products. Diminished exchanges in circulation lead to a gradual stiffening of the connective tissue, pulling down on the skin. The push/pull effect creates the appearance of dimpled skin.
During
The massaging action of AWT:
•the connective tissue to firm and smooth the skin
•Causes neo-vascularization, improving circulatory exchanges (the root cause of the problem)
•Initiates an inflammatory process in the skin, leading to thicker, more elastic skin through collagen production.
After
The elasticity of the connective tissue is restored and the skin is smoother. The skin is thicker and more elastic, with noticeable improvement to the skin's texture.
The proven results
• Improvement in skin elasticity
• Optical improvement in skin texture, disappearance of 'orange peel' skin
• Thigh circumference reduction
• Dermal firming
• Increased firmness of the connective tissue in the gluteal-femoral region
• Decrease in fat mass
• Body shaping
• Improvement in skin elasticity
• Optical improvement in skin texture, disappearance of 'orange peel' skin
• Thigh circumference reduction
• Dermal firming
• Increased firmness of the connective tissue in the gluteal-femoral region
• Decrease in fat mass
• Body shaping
Before
Cellulite skin: dermis-hypodermis junction appears as an irregular surface. Black structure: adipose cells and lymphatic fluids.

After
Ultrasound scan after 6 treatments: visible improvement of the subsurface. Red / Yellow structures: new collagen fibrils. Notice the decrease in adipose cells.

Frequently asked questions
Q: What is the difference between cellulite and fat?
A: Though everyone has a smooth layer of fat, individual amounts depend on weight, lifestyle and genetics. This fat is an insulator for the body and cushions the organs, muscles and nerves. Cellulite, on the other hand, is lumpy and provides no padding, whatsoever. Plus it only occurs in specific areas: the thighs, buttocks, abdomen and upper arms.
Q: Is body weight a factor of cellulite?
A: No, you don't have to be heavy to have cellulite. Although diet and lifestyle affect cellulite formation, a large part of cellulite consists of toxins and fat that build up in the body and can affect women of any size, weight and body structure.
Q: Will this concept make me look and feel better?
A: In many cases, the success of the concept can be clearly seen, measured and felt after as little as 4 to 6 sessions with AWT, that is after 2 to 3 weeks. The PowerPlate vibration exercises even accelerate your weight loss and reduce your fat mass, resulting in a more vital and dynamic feeling.
Q: How safe is the program?
A: There is no danger for your health, it is non-invasive, pain-free and entails hardly any risks or side effects. Acoustic Wave Therapy only breaks down subcutaneous fat cells and restores the connective tissue. The PowerPlate trains your muscles, the exercises are easy to follow.
Q: Why do I need to combine my AWT treatment with exercises on the PowerPlate?
A: Long term effects are only possible if there is a comprehensive concept tailored to the specific needs of the client. The combined treatment ensures attention to the subcutaneous tissues as well as the skin and muscles. Besides this the PowerPlate also results in fat burning and improvement of lymph drainage.
Q: Why do I need to drink water and/or green tea?
A: This will accelerate and improve the results of AWT because you stimulate the blood flow. On top of this, drinking a lot of water or green tea keeps your body clean and helps detoxicating your system.
