Cellulite is one of the most frequent concerns raised during body consultations. It is important to state at the outset that cellulite is a common, natural feature of the skin and not a disease. Many people of every body type have it. This article explains how cellulite develops and what to expect from a professional treatment course at our clinic.
What is cellulite?
Cellulite describes the dimpled, uneven appearance of the skin, most often on the thighs, hips and buttocks. It occurs where fat tissue beneath the skin pushes against the connective tissue bands that anchor the skin to deeper layers. Hormones, genetics, circulation, skin thickness and lifestyle all play a role, which is why its appearance differs so much from one person to another.
Who may benefit from cellulite therapy?
A clinic treatment may be considered by clients who:
- would like smoother-looking skin texture in specific areas
- have a stable body weight and a balanced routine
- understand that results are gradual and vary individually
During the consultation we review your health history. Certain conditions, pregnancy or implanted devices may mean that a treatment is not recommended.
How a treatment course works
Cellulite therapy is generally planned as a series of sessions rather than a single appointment. Your therapist will assess the area, explain the method and agree on a schedule with you. Most clients can return to their normal activities straight after a session.
Supporting the results at home
- stay well hydrated
- keep active with regular movement
- follow a balanced diet
- follow the aftercare advice given by your therapist
Realistic expectations
No method removes cellulite permanently. The aim of treatment is a visible improvement in the smoothness and firmness of the skin. Maintenance sessions are often recommended. For body toning, some clients combine their plan with our Emsculpt treatment; your therapist will advise whether this is appropriate.
Frequently asked questions
Is cellulite therapy painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as comfortable. Your therapist adjusts the treatment to your tolerance.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on the area and your individual skin condition. A personal plan is agreed during the consultation.
Will cellulite come back?
Cellulite is influenced by genetics and hormones, so maintenance is usually needed to keep results.
