Cellulite is the result of fat pushing through the second layer of skin (the dermis) into the layer of skin just below the epidermis (the outermost layer). The dermis holds a network of connective tissue called septae. As fat cells increase in size and collagen decreases, the connective tissue within this layer weakens and fat bulges through, causing a dimpled appearance to the skin. 

Even experts struggle to understand what causes cellulite to appear, citing everything from inflammation to hormones to vascular issues. They do know that the septae in men are stronger, causing cellulite to be prevalent in women and rarely seen in men.

Exercise can help. Lifting weights and resistance exercise can reduce the layer of fat that presses against the skin, thus causing a reduction in cellulite. 

When exercise has done all that it can do, the team at Skin and Body Curvatures can help with the TempSure Firm. The TempSure Firm sends monopolar radiofrequency energy targets cellulite-heavy areas, increasing collagen production. Revitalizing the collagen in your skin with TempSure Firm helps the skin regain its elasticity. Tighter skin smooths the appearance of cellulite. 

TempSure Firm is a cellulite treatment that uses a combination of radiofrequency heat along with a specialized massage head to temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite.

The combination of radiofrequency heating and a specialized massage head work together, temporarily reducing the appearance of cellulite. The result? Skin appears to be more youthful and evenly textured.

TempSure Firm uses radiofrequency energy to heat below your surface skin into the collagen. Collagen is more sensitive to temperature than the outer skin. Increased temperature hitting the collagen layer simulates damage, activating your system to increase collagen production and tighten the area. 

Depending on the size of the area, treatments can be as quick as 20 minutes. TempSure Firm stimulates a natural healing response in your body, causing results to appear over time. The surface skin remains unaffected, and you can leave your treatment and continue your day as usual, with no downtime or recovery time needed.

No. The TempSure Firm handpiece delivers heat in a consistent and gradual manner. Clients report a spa-like deep warming sensation during their treatments.

There are several factors that determine whether or not you are a good candidate for treatment. Your clinician will discuss all inclusion and exclusion criteria at your consultation to make sure you are the perfect candidate for treatment.

Everyone is different. Most clients require anywhere from 5 to 8 treatments depending on your skin condition and what area is being treated?

Treatments take five minutes for a full abdomen and ten minutes for both thighs. Typically, five minutes per selected area.

You may return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment. A sunscreen of SPF 30 should always be applied to the treated areas that may be exposed to the sun.

Results may be seen in a few weeks to a month after your last treatment. Remember that the improvement of the appearance of your cellulite is only temporary.
