We all have it. That telltale dimpling on our thighs and buttocks, regardless of how much we exercise or how well we eat. That’s because cellulite comes with age and lifestyle choices and is influenced by genetics. As some of us in South Jersey are looking to lose weight, even those of us with the lowest body fat aren’t free from it. Luckily, though, there is a way to reduce the appearance of cellulite and lose inches at the same time

WITHOUT SURGERY.

Enter Synergie in Linwood, NJ South Jersey a powerful new solution to conquering cellulite. Synergie salon owner Laura Candela explains the treatment that has taken years off the appearance of her clients.

"The patented Synergie device provides a safe alternative to liposuction, chemical peels and lasers." said Candela. "It is an

FDA-approved treatment, even though noninvasive treatments like this aren’t required to have FDA approval. It’s a real testament to the extensive testing that has been done on this product."

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS.

Our bodies consist of four layers of fat. The bottom two layers are affected by diet and exercise but the top two layers, over time, become dormant. As skin loses its elasticity, fat more easily bulges through.

"Think of young skin as opaque tights and older skin as fishnets," says Stuart H. Kaplan, M.D., a Beverly Hills dermatologist and assistant professor of dermatology at the University of California, Los Angeles. "If you press tights down on something soft like Play-Doh, they will flatten and smooth it. Now imagine doing the same with fishnets. The soft stuff will bulge through the looser knit," he explained.

The body's lymph system also plays a role. It is supposed to drain fluid from tissue but the fat cells block drainage. The trapped fluid adds to the dimpled look. The Synergie system helps fat cells release the fat, water and toxins. The result is a smoother look. By using a unique vacuum massage technology, Synergie cellulite treatments smooth and tighten the skin and dramatically improve circulatory function. It is completely painless, relaxing, and feels similar to a traditional massage.

"A hundred percent of our clients lose inches, and this is not a temporary loss that you might get with a body wrap—where you regain the weight as soon as you drink," said Candela. "But because we’re working with circulation, the procedure does have to be done on a regular basis to avoid fat cells from being trapped again."

It takes between 12 to 16 sessions, on average, for a person to achieve his or her optimum tone. Then clients are put on a maintenance regiment that’s usually once a month.

Synergie also offers facials, using the same equipment, that tone, tighten and lift the face, non-surgically. Photo rejuvenation treatments help minimize imperfections such as spider veins or stretch marks. Locals in South Jersey looking for weight loss are loving Synergie’s services.

Synergie also offers private sessions of IM=X Pilates, combining Reformer Pilates with a cardiovascular workout.

"When our clients start losing inches, it’s often a huge motivating factor for them to make other lifestyle changes such as with diet and exercise," said Candela. "Everything we do is customized to the individual for the best results in the shortest time."
