Developed in the 1970s in the medical field, contact thermography is now used to detect and analyze cellulite based on its thermal characteristics.
The system relies on plates containing microencapsulated liquid crystals that change color according to the temperature they come into contact with. By placing these plates on the body, the resulting color variations make it possible to detect the presence of cellulite—even in its early stages—and to distinguish it from localized fat.
Thanks to the interpretation of these images, using internationally patented I.P.S. technology, specialists can identify the different stages (edematous, fibrous, sclerotic) and set up personalized, targeted treatments, while showing clients the presence and progression of cellulite after therapy.
It is important to note that the examination can be repeated multiple times without any side effects for clients or the equipment, which requires no regular maintenance.
This non-invasive and completely painless system allows the detection of even the earliest stages of cellulite—those not visible or palpable—and clearly displays them to the client, enabling preventive action.
The unique contact thermography tools developed by I.P.S. make it possible to perform quick and effective analyses, useful not only for diagnostic purposes but also for helping clients understand the need for early treatment.
By identifying the most appropriate therapy for each case and monitoring its progress, specialists can build stronger client loyalty, thanks to a harmless, fast, yet highly scientific analysis method—originally developed for breast pathology screening and now successfully applied in aesthetics.
Nutritionists, dermatologists, beauticians, cellulite-treatment specialists, and even companies that manufacture related products—all can benefit greatly from I.P.S. contact thermography technology.
