Medik8 Lipomelt Forte
Carefully blended Xanthenes and other clinically proven actives, formulated to high concentrations, stimulate substantial Lipolysis which is the dermaceutical key to cellulite breakdown and a slimmer sillhouette

Directions
Apply small amounts twice daily to areas targeted for fading. After 6 weeks or when firming level has been achieved reduce application to twice weekly to maintain results. See carton for full directions.
 
Results and Science

• Contains five individually clinically proven actives at increased concentrations, where other treatments only contain one.
• Remodels and re-firms body - Accelerates natural subcutaneous fat diminishment mechanisms
• Smooths and tightens the skin Reduces the 'orange peel' effect by improving microcirculation
• Lipomelt Forté has a Firming Effect on the skin, which when measured by ballistometry, showed a 9.5% decrease in indentation in the skin and a 27.5% decrease in skin flaccidity.

Cellulite is primarily a problem with microcirculation that causes damage to the fat tissue under the skin that affects 80%-95% of women and 5% of men. The alternating weakening of fatty and fibrous connective tissue presents itself visually in the shape of lumps and dimples, commonly known as 'orange peel'.

Females have their subcutaneous fat structured in small chambers separated by vertical walls of tissue (above). The whole framework is irrigated by a complex vascular system of arterioles and capillaries responsible for circulation and drainage.

The failure of this microcirculation system results in leakage of liquid into the surrounding tissue. This liquid retention in the interstitial spaces also affects adipocytes which start manufacturing excess triglycerides and grow in size, becoming trapped in the connective network.

The cosmetic result of this, is an uneven distribution of fat and damaged tissue which modifies the appearance of the skin, provoking the well known lumpy "orange peel" skin. Connective tissue, including collagen and elastin, becomes increasingly damaged, eventually scarring, causing stretch marks.

Lipomelt Forté acts in two different ways: on the fat (lipolytic effect) and on the circulation (venotonic effect). Tests in vivo on human volunteers prove a drastic reduction in the thickness of subcutaneous adipose tissue when treated.

The effects of caffeine are known to have a lipolytic effect.

It blocks enzymes responsible for the destruction of AMPc, which is involved in the breakage of triglyceride in adipose tissue.It also possesses vasodilator properties, increasing blood flow.
