Topical treatment based on a cool down/warm up effect which performs a lasting stimulation of the capillary microcirculation, thereby fostering the draining of liquids and waste in the subcutaneous tissue. For this reason, it suits the treatment of cellulite (edematous fibrosclerotic panniculopathy), a condition that can be described as a state of asphyxia of the tissues. By stimulating capillary blood flow, this medical device allows to better oxygenate cellulite-affected tissues and improve local symptomatology.
