Cellulite – Contact Thermography
Contact thermography, patented technology, is based on the use of microencapsulated liquid crystal plates that have the property of changing color according to temperature variations.
By placing these plates on the body, it is possible to detect the skin temperature (which reflects what happens in the underlying tissues) and therefore highlight, through color pictures, the presence or absence of the typical signs of cellulite and the type of adiposity on various parts of the body.
The first applications of contact thermography date back to the 1970s in the medical field (mass screening of breast diseases, other investigative actions in areas such as rheumatology, angiology, sports medicine and many others). More recently this method has been adopted in the professional aesthetic field for the early detection and classification of the thermal aspects of cellulite and the type of adiposity.

How can I install the app on the tablet?
To install the app on the tablet, follow the instructions for use supplied with the thermographic system.
Can I use my personal Android tablet?
Any Android tablet with the following minimal features can be used to install and use the app:
S.O. ANDROID 4.4 and 6.0, 7-inch screen, 1024 x 768 screen resolution, minimum 2 GB of RAM, rear camera with autofocus and 5Mpx resolution.
For the tablet with iOS system, use a fourth or fifth generation iPad Mini.
What happens if I perform a complete reset of the tablet?
In the case of full tablet reset (or if the app is deleted and installed again), all data stored in the app is deleted and lost.
To avoid losing data, we recommend that you back up your tablet regularly using the back up features of your app settings.
Are the thermographic plates reusable?
Why is a thermographic system supplied with minimum two plates?
How can the plates be cleaned?
If the plate doesn't show any image, does it mean it doesn't work?
Are the plates to be used only on legs or also on other body regions?
Why shall I use thermography when I'm able to detect cellulite through palpation?
Is the thermographic test innocuous?
How many thermographic tests can I perform with the same plate?
How can I select the right plate among the available ones?
Shall I attend a training course on contact thermography?
What shall I do after detecting the level of cellulite?
Why is every system supplied with more than one plate?
What do the colours on the plate correspond to?
Each color corresponds to a temperature according to a precise color scale. However, the presence and level of cellulite are not identified by the color but by the type of image that is formed on the plate.
For the analysis of adiposity, the color highlighted after the thermographic test turned out to be very important to distinguish hardened and soft adiposity.
