CELLULITE APPEARANCE REDUCTION APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

The invention includes devices and methods for reducing the appearance of cellulite in human skin. The device includes a belt having a tactile gripping portion for removably adhering to skin. When the belt is connected to a reciprocating vibratory massage device, the tactile belt grips the skin preventing substantial relative movement between the belt and the skin. On continued reciprocal movement of the belt through a stroke length and at a frequency, the outer layers of the skin are forcibly moved relative to the subcutaneous tissue layers thereby disrupting, stretching and/or tearing fat/collagen projections extending from the subcutaneous tissue into the outer skin layers thereby reducing the appearance of cellulite in the skin.

主权项

1. A method of forming a cellulite reduction belt having an elongate belt including a length and opposing ends, the method of forming the belt comprising the steps of:
forming a gripping portion having a contact surface on at least one side of an elongate belt for communication of frictional force between at least a portion of the contact surface and the outer surface of a human user's skin in an area where cellulite is to be reduced on reciprocal movement of the belt at a stroke length along the belt length; and attaching connectors adjacent to opposing ends of the belt for use in the reciprocal movement of the belt along the stroke length.
