Cellulite
Cellulite refers to the dimpled, lumpy appearance of skin, most commonly seen on the thighs, hips, and buttocks. The lumps are caused by collagen strands tightening and pulling the skin downward, while the bumps or nodules occur as fat cells push against the skin. Cellulite isn't simply excess fat; it results from fat cells pressing up against the skin, constricted by tight, fibrous bands in the dermis. Even thin or toned women may experience cellulite due to this structural issue in the skin.
What causes Cellulite
Cellulite occurs when fat deposits beneath the skin push against connective tissues, causing the skin to dimple or pucker.
Types of Cellulite
Soft Cellulite
Hard Cellulite
Edematous Cellulite
Aggravating Factors
THE TWO MAIN CAUSES OF CELLULITE ARE:
- Genetic Factors
- Hormonal Change
CELLULITE MAY ALSO BE TRIGGERED/ WORSENED BY:
- Poor Circulation
- Lack of Exercise
- Smoking
- Unhealthy Diet
- Dehydration
- Stress
Our Cellulite Solutions
After a consultation with our aesthetic doctor, these are various anti-Cellulite solutions that we offer
LASER THERAPIES
Laser treatments for cellulite use targeted light energy to break down fibrous bands responsible for skin dimpling while stimulating collagen production. This approach helps smooth skin texture and improve elasticity, reducing the visible signs of cellulite.
MICRONEEDLING WITH RADIOFREQUENCY TREATMENT
Microneedling with radiofrequency addresses cellulite by combining micro-injuries and heat energy to target fibrous bands and stimulate collagen production. The fine needles create micro-channels, encouraging skin remodelling, while radiofrequency penetrates deeper layers to break down fat and tighten the skin. This dual-action treatment smooths uneven skin texture, reduces the visibility of dimples, and enhances elasticity. Over time, the treated areas appear firmer and more even-toned, with a noticeable reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
CRYOLIPOLYSIS TREATMENT
Cryolipolysis, commonly known as fat freezing, is a method for fat reduction and body contouring that can also improve the appearance of cellulite. This treatment targets superficial fat layers by carefully freezing fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. The frozen fat cells are gradually broken down and naturally expelled by the body, resulting in smoother and more even skin. By addressing both fat and skin texture, cryolipolysis offers a dual benefit for reducing cellulite and reshaping problem areas.
FOCUSED ELECTROMAGNECTIC TECHNOLOGY
Focused Electromagnetic Technology helps reduce the appearance of cellulite by inducing muscle contractions, which stimulate circulation and promote fat breakdown. These contractions enhance muscle tone while breaking down the fat deposits that contribute to the dimpled appearance of cellulite. By boosting metabolism and targeting both fat and muscle, this treatment smooths and firms the skin, improving overall body contour and reducing the visibility of cellulite over time.
Cellulite Myths
Cellulite worsens with age no matter what you do.
While aging reduces skin elasticity, treatments, healthy habits, and skincare can significantly manage cellulite's appearance.
Cellulite only occurs on thighs and buttocks.
Cellulite can develop anywhere fat is stored, including the arms and abdomen.
Cellulite improves with weight loss.
Weight loss may reduce the appearance of cellulite, but it does not eliminate it, as cellulite is influenced by factors beyond just fat, like genetics and skin structure.
Cellulite is only a result of weight gain.
Cellulite can occur in people of all body types, even in those with low body fat, due to genetics and hormonal factors.
Cellulite gets worse with age.
While cellulite may become more noticeable as skin loses elasticity with age, it isn't a direct consequence of aging.
