If you’re like many people, you’ve looked down at your cellulite and wished it wasn’t there – but other than surgical treatments, what can you do? Fortunately, there are non-surgical cellulite treatments available in Ann Arbor, and treating cellulite this way may be the right choice for you.
Non-Surgical Cellulite Treatments in Ann Arbor
Almost all women over the age of 35 have cellulite – and many other women do, too. It’s caused by pesky fat cells below the skin’s surface that bulge up and cause the skin to appear irregular. The reason it happens is that the fibrous bands just below the skin loosen with age or from other factors. Cellulite (and the way it looks) can easily worsen when you gain weight, get pregnant, or lack physical activity; it can also worsen when you face hormonal changes and when you have poor nutrition. Regardless of physical condition, though, most people will face cellulite at some point in their lives; it’s unavoidable for most people.
When you treat the fibrous bands and reduce the fat beneath the skin (commonly referred to as subcutaneous fat) through a non-surgical cellulite treatment, you can improve the appearance of cellulite and smooth out your skin again.
Many people choose a non-surgical option for this, particularly when surgery is too drastic a move. At CosMedic LaserMD, we use TempSure Firm.

What is TempSure Firm for Non-Surgical Cellulite Treatment?
TempSure Firm is a non-invasive treatment device that uses radiofrequency heating and a specialized type of massage to improve the skin on your body. You can use it to target specific areas (such as the back or front of the thighs, which is very common).
The best part about TempSure Firm for non-surgical cellulite treatment is that there’s no downtime. You can head right back to work or home without having to sit out your normal activities.
TempSure Firm is similar to Envi, which you may have heard of before. However, TempSure Firm involves a specialized massage head that applies heat to your body. The massage head temporarily reduces the appearance of cellulite while adding a youthful glow to your skin; it also improves skin texture.

How Long Does Non-Surgical Cellulite Treatment Take?
Non-surgical cellulite treatment with a device like TempSure Firm is fast. It usually takes about five minutes per area – that’s five minutes for your entire abdomen and ten minutes for both thighs. Most people need between five and eight treatments to get the best possible outcome. After the procedure, your skin may feel noticeably tighter and look more radiant.
Does Non-Surgical Cellulite Treatment Hurt?
Non-surgical cellulite treatment doesn’t hurt! Many people say it feels like a massage with hot stones – you may be one of the many who find it relaxing and easy. We do recommend applying SPF 30 sunscreen to the treated areas after your session; that helps you get the best results. (So unless you hate sunscreen and massages, you’re most likely going to enjoy your non-surgical cellulite treatment.)

How Do You Know if Non-Surgical Cellulite Treatment is Right for You?
The best way to find out whether non-surgical cellulite treatment is right for you is to consult with a doctor. Your doctor will evaluate your skin and your cellulite to help you determine whether it’s the right treatment for you. If it’s not, your doctor can suggest other treatments that can provide you with similar results.
