[. . . ] This mattress structure can be made especially visible when the skin is squeezed. All women have the possibility of developing Cellulite because of this structure of the female fat deposits. Try the Squeeze Test This is easy to identify. Just gently squeeze an area of your upper thigh with both hands and you will most probably see the mattress shaped fat layer in your skin. [. . . ] Cellesse has been developed especially for those parts of the body prone to Cellulite and for this has been equiped with an effective massage system: Vacumotion. Vacumotion is a continuous lifting and rolling movement which gives a deep and intensive massage of the Cellulite layer, with the least of friction. It consists of two rollers and a middle vacuum section which are electronically connected to result in one fluid massage action. The process resembles a wave-like movement of the skin as the Cellesse unit is moved over the affected area. The direction for use is always towards the heart, i. Upwards along the leg and affected areas are covered in a series of adjacent, parallel movements. Sensor control A special sensor detects proper contact with the skin, only when this proper contact is made does the Vacumotion begin. Cellesse starts automatically when placed on the skin. The front roller gently rolls the skin into the vacuum area. Five Intensity settings Five degrees of intensity are available. As you get to know Cellesse better, you will be able to find the setting that suits you best. We recommend to start in the beginning with the lowest setting and gradually increase depending on your specific skin condition and preference. As the skin gets more used to the treatment it will accept a higher setting. Vacu-Stop Vacu-Stop is a simple and safe way of stopping the treatment at any time. The stop switch is easily accessible from either side of the appliance. Designing an Effective Treatment Programme The recommended frequency of use for Cellesse is 10-15 minutes on each leg, three times a week. In consumer tests we have found that through this type of regular use in already one month a significant smoothening of the Cellulite layer inside the skin can be achieved. Of course results will differ from woman to woman, depending on the extent and severity of the Cellulite and your lifestyle. We found that in most cases, results can be achieved, however regular use of Cellesse is required as fluid retention will always return and put the fatlayer under pressure again. The skin is then lifted even further by means of vacuum. The rear roller massages the lower layers of the elevated skin and then gently rolls it off. The results have confirmed that Cellesse can achieve a smoothening of the Cellulite layer inside the skin: on average 33% smoothening of the Cellulite layer after 1 month of use. [. . . ] (Cellulite) creams, lotions, talcum powder or any other preparation you normally use can be applied after treatment. The ideal frequency of use is every second day. Allow 10-15 minutes for each affected area for the best results. During the massage and in subsequent sessions you can gradually increase to higher intensity levels as the skin will get more and more used to the treatment. [. . . ]
