With the temperatures finally rising, the desire to uncover one's legs, to shorten one's skirts and to sunbathe for the first time at the beach increases. For some, however, this can be a difficult, embarrassing moment. For example for women whose legs have imperfections such as cellulite and localised adiposity. But let's not beat ourselves up, let's see how to remedy these problems, after all we still have some time!

First of all, ahealthy diet and constant exercise are essential for slim, toned and fit legs. Fat deposits and cellulite, in addition to natural and hereditary predisposition factors, are in fact often due to a too sedentary lifestyle and a poor diet. it is therefore time to join a gym, a swimming pool or go running and walking in the park, and to start a personalised dietary programme that balances the metabolism, such as the Metabolic Balance programme.

Without going as far as surgery, aesthetic medicine also offers us good solutions. One of these is lipolysitherapy, a non-surgical method that uses the action of certain active ingredients that can be injected into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue to reduce the volume of localised fat deposits. lipolysitherapy involves a subcutaneous injection of phosphotidylcholine and deoxycholic acid, solutions with a high fat-emulsifying capacity and a progressive lytic effect on the fat cells treated.

The technique used is rapid and absolutely tolerable. It will only be necessary to wear elastic stockings for the first week to reduce oedema and post-treatment bruising. The result is appreciable after 4/6 applications depending on the degree of fat accumulation.

Another treatment we can recommend is medical cavitation (to be distinguished from that performed in beauty salons). Here too, this is a method of working on localised fat deposits painlessly using equipment that produces ultrasound. In particular, this treatment is also effective in combating and preventing the onset of orange-peel skin and cellulite. In practice, ultrasound causes a 'cold boiling' (cavitation), which leads to the breakdown of fat cells.

It is an effective, painless method that leaves no scars and is effective in cases of fairly small fat deposits. Each treatment lasts about 30-60 minutes depending on the size of the area to be treated and is carried out in the doctor's office. The result is appreciable after 6-8 applications, again depending on the degree of fat accumulation.
