Cellulite, also called "orange peel skin", is an aesthetic alteration of the skin. It mainly affects the belly, buttocks, arms, legs as well as thighs, and comes in three types of cellulite:
Aqueous cellulite: caused by water retention and swelling, due to poor blood and lymphatic circulation.
Adipose cellulite: associated with excess localized fat, under the dermis, often following weight gain.
Fibrous cellulite: it is the result of tissue fibrosis. It is harder and more painful, with more visible dimples, which also makes it difficult to eliminate.
In order to fight cellulite, the methods used in our institute are CryoSpot and Cryo Wave. These two techniques are based on the use of intense cold (between -30°C and -180°C depending on the targeted area) to trigger beneficial physiological reactions.

Obviously, the first advantage of anti-cellulite treatments is the visible reduction of this orange peel appearance it causes. This is often caused by subcutaneous fat accumulation or following tissue fibrosis. The technologies we use allow acting on these areas by destroying adipocytes directly in adipose tissues, but also by softening rigid fibers in case of fibrosis, since they trap fats.
The results are a progressive reduction of dimples, with visible improvement within 4 to 6 weeks.
Thanks to the cold from the two techniques we offer, the skin sagging associated with cellulite is fought, thanks to the stimulation of natural phenomena and mechanisms. Indeed, cold provides a toning effect by firming tissues, gives the skin a more taut and uniform appearance. Moreover, collagen production is stimulated, which plays a role in skin firmness as well as elasticity.
In the case of people with aqueous cellulite, water retention is the major cause of this problem. Fortunately, CryoSpot and Cryo Wave machines allow stimulating lymphatic drainage, but also the activation of venous return, allowing to visibly reduce swelling and help decrease water retention.
Finally, as a bonus, the cryotherapy methods used to fight cellulite in our institute also allow promoting muscle recovery and reducing tension in muscles. And it's even more effective, on the surface and in depth, than a massage.
The session process is simple. First, you will participate in a medical consultation before the session, to make a diagnosis and verify that no contraindication prevents the proper conduct of the session.
If everything is fine, protections will be provided to you, allowing to protect your extremities, as well as your respiratory tract. It is then that the session will begin with one of our Cryo Wave or CryoSpot machines. The cold will then be applied for a few minutes, on the entire body or the targeted area.
After the session, pinch and roll movements can help wake up the area and help against cellulite.
At Itan, we offer two types of treatments to fight cellulite: CryoSpot and Cryo Wave.
CryoSpot: Rate of 40 euros per treated area or 6-session package for 200 euros. In addition to improving skin appearance and fighting cellulite, this treatment also allows recovery after muscle effort.
Cryo Wave: Rate of 75 euros per session or 5-session package for 350 euros. This treatment allows firming of skin tissues and progressive disappearance of cellulite, while relieving muscle tension.
Although results vary slightly depending on the type of treatment chosen, here's what you can expect with our anti-cellulite methods:
A visible reduction of orange peel appearance from a few sessions.
Firmer and more toned skin thanks to collagen stimulation.
A global improvement in skin texture, with a reduction of localized fat deposits in treated areas.
Although these anti-cellulite treatments are safe, there are nevertheless some factors that should be known before treatment, namely:
In case of severe blood circulation disorders, such as thrombosis or phlebitis.
In case of cold intolerance or skin hypersensitivity.
In case of pregnancy or during breastfeeding, although this is rather a precaution for the latter.
In case of cardiac pathologies or uncontrolled hypertension.
In case of inflammation or infection.
Generally, in case of doubt, medical advice from a health professional is recommended before starting treatment.
The results obtained can last several months, even years, depending on patients. Nevertheless, this depends on your routine, your diet, the dietary supplements you take, etc. Often, maintenance visits are necessary every year or in case of new cellulite appearance in treated areas.
Yes, thanks to techniques such as Cryo Wave, it is possible to treat fibrous cellulite by stimulating the softening of fibrous tissues and thus reducing dimples.
Generally, and according to your needs, you need to count 6 to 10 sessions to obtain optimal results. Nevertheless, this depends on the type of cellulite (aqueous cellulite, adipose cellulite or fibrous cellulite) as well as its extent.
Yes, although they are more rarely affected by cellulite, men can also undergo anti-cellulite treatments to firm their skin and refine their silhouette.
