ABSTRACT
TriActiveTM (Deka, Florence, Italy), as the name implies, has three major weapons in our battle against cellulite (Fig. 1). These three mechanisms, contact coolant, massage, and diode lasers, work together to restore the body’s normal homeostatic environment. The contact cooling system decreases edema by causing an initial vasoconstriction followed by a compensatory vasodilatation, allowing the pooled fluid to remobilize. The rhythmic massage counteracts circulatory stasis again mobilizing fluids by stimulating lymphatic drainage. The TriActiveTM device is equipped with six 808 nm diode lasers that work directly on the endothelial cells coating vascular walls, stimulating arterial, venous, and lymphatic flow as well as neovascularization.
