What is Cellulite Treatment?

Cellulite treatment uses various technologies—radiofrequency, acoustic wave therapy, lasers, and subcision—to reduce the dimpled "orange peel" skin appearance caused by fat deposits pushing through connective tissue, targeting both fat cells and fibrous bands for smoother skin.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Most cellulite treatments require multiple sessions (usually 4-8) for optimal results. Ask about package pricing for significant savings—individual session costs add up quickly.

⚠️ Insider Note: Combining treatments often produces better results than single modalities. Discuss a combination approach with your practitioner, such as RF for overall tightening plus subcision for deep dimples.

Subcision/Cellfina: Under local anesthesia, a device releases the fibrous bands causing individual dimples. One-time treatment lasting 45-90 minutes.

Mesotherapy: Multiple small injections of fat-dissolving compounds. 30-45 minutes, requires multiple sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can cellulite be permanently removed?

Complete elimination is not possible with current technology. However, significant improvement (50-70% reduction) is achievable with appropriate treatments.

Which cellulite treatment is most effective?

Combination approaches typically produce the best outcomes. Subcision treats deep dimples effectively; RF and acoustic wave therapy address overall texture improvement.

How long do cellulite treatment results last?

Non-invasive treatments require maintenance every 3-6 months. Minimally invasive subcision can last 2-3 years. Lifestyle factors like diet and exercise affect longevity.

Are cellulite treatments painful?

Most non-invasive treatments cause minimal discomfort, rated 2-3/10. Laser and subcision procedures use local anesthesia and are well-tolerated.

How many sessions do I need?

Typically 4-8 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart for non-invasive treatments. Surgical options like Cellfina are usually one-time procedures.

Can I exercise after cellulite treatment?

Light activity is usually fine immediately. Avoid intense exercise for 24-48 hours after some treatments. Your practitioner will provide specific guidance.

Who is a good candidate for cellulite treatment?

Patients at a healthy, stable weight with visible cellulite. Weight loss should be achieved before treatment for best and longest-lasting results.

Are there any risks with cellulite treatment?

Non-invasive treatments have minimal risks. Surgical options may include temporary bruising, swelling, or numbness that typically resolves within weeks.
