Diamond Treatment

Cellulite, commonly known as “orange peel” skin, results from the enlargement of fat cells (adipocytes) in the deeper layers of the skin. This enlargement compresses blood and lymphatic vessels, leading to water retention and gradual thickening of collagen fibers, which trap the fatty tissue and create the characteristic dimpled appearance. There are three types of cellulite: fatty, aqueous, and fibrous, often occurring together. While cellulite predominantly affects women—impacting 9 out of 10—men can also experience it, though less frequently.

Principle of the Diamond Treatment:

The Diamond treatment combines mechanical massage with suction and simultaneous exposure to infrared LED light to improve the appearance of cellulite.

• Infrared LED Exposure: This light penetrates the skin to break down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. Additionally, it stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and leading to a more even texture.

• Mechanical Massage with Suction: The suction massage promotes lymphatic drainage, improving circulation and aiding in the removal of toxins and cellular debris. It also stretches fibrous bands, reducing the “orange peel” effect.

The Session:

Before the first session, treatment goals are established through a consultation to identify any contraindications and to perform a clinical examination. The targeted area is determined, and photographs may be taken for progress tracking.

• Procedure: After lying on the examination table, a protective oil is applied to the treatment areas to facilitate the handpiece’s movement over your skin. You’ll experience a warming suction sensation as the handpiece moves in circular motions over the area. The gradual increase in temperature may cause a feeling of warmth, and the suction can lead to sensations of pulling, pinching, or slight tingling, especially at the beginning of the treatment. This massage phase may be more noticeable in cases of older, fibrous cellulite.

• Duration: Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes.

After the Session:

Results are not immediate, as fat cells are gradually eliminated through the lymphatic system. The Diamond treatment is safe, non-invasive, and minimally painful, allowing you to resume daily activities immediately after the session.

• Side Effects: Mild redness or small bruises may occur but typically resolve naturally within hours or days.

Number of Sessions Needed:

The number of sessions varies depending on individual factors, including the type and severity of cellulite. Generally, a series of treatments is recommended to achieve optimal results.
