Cellulite

CELLULITE

Cellulite refers to the dimpled, “orange peel” appearance of the skin, commonly found on the thighs and buttocks. It occurs due to fat deposits pushing against connective tissue, influenced by hormones, genetics, and circulation issues. While cellulite is more common in women, it affects individuals of all body types. Factors like diet, hydration, and exercise can help manage its appearance, but they may not fully eliminate it due to the structural nature of the skin. Stubborn fat, on the other hand, consists of localized fat deposits that persist despite diet and exercise. Areas like the abdomen, thighs, and flanks tend to store fat due to genetics and metabolic factors. 

While a healthy lifestyle supports weight management and toning, it may not target stubborn areas. Body contouring treatments can complement exercise by refining body shape and improving skin texture for optimal results.

Treatments

Radio-frequency (Body)

Radiofrequency (RF) energy can help with smoothing, tightening, and contouring loose, saggy skin. It helps improve the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks by stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin elasticity, making it firmer and more toned over time.

During the treatment, RF energy penetrates deep into the skin, generating heat to remodel collagen and promote tissue tightening. Cooling mechanisms are used to protect the skin’s surface while delivering controlled heat to the deeper layers. Some may experience mild redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours. This non-invasive, no-downtime procedure effectively firms and rejuvenates the skin, reducing cellulite and improving overall skin texture.
