Medik8 Lipomelt Forté is an firming anti-cellulite cream great for daily care of skin with lowered elasticity, firmness and unsightly orange-peel appearance. Its delicate creamy consistency ensures maximum absorption of active ingredients to accelerate fat burn (lipolysis) and prevent its accumulation in the skin cells. Cellulite is primarily a problem with microcirculation that causes damage to the fat tissue under the skin that affects 80%-95% of women and 5% of men. The alternating weakening of fatty and fibrous connective tissue presents itself visually in the shape of lumps and dimples, commonly known as 'orange peel'.
Females have their subcutaneous fat structured in small chambers separated by vertical walls of tissue (left). The whole framework is irrigated by a complex vascular system of arterioles and capillaries responsible for circulation and drainage. The failure of this microcirculation system results in leakage of liquid into the surrounding tissue. This liquid retention in the interstitial spaces also affects adipocytes which start manufacturing excess triglycerides and grow in size, becoming trapped in the connective network.
The cosmetic result of this is an uneven distribution of fat and damaged tissue which modifies the appearance of the skin, provoking the well known lumpy "orange peel" skin. Connective tissue, including collagen and elastin, becomes increasingly damaged, eventually scarring, causing stretch marks. Medik8 Lipomelt Forté acts in two different ways: on the fat (lipolytic effect) and on the circulation (venotonic effect). Tests in vivo on human volunteers prove a drastic reduction in the thickness of subcutaneous adipose tissue when treated. Medik8 Lipomelt Forté contains the new innovative Serilesine® Hexapeptide, which encourages the epidermis and dermis to remain attached to the Dermal Epidermal Junction (DEJ).
Medik8 Lipomelt Forté Recommended Uses:
