Understanding Cellulite and The Contributing Factors

Cellulite is the appearance of lumps and dimples beneath the skin, sometimes called orange‑peel or cottage cheese skin. It develops when fibrous connective bands (septae) pull the skin downward while underlying fat cells push upward, creating a puckered surface. Cellulite is not a medical disorder but a common aesthetic concern, most noticeable on the thighs, buttocks, hips and abdomen. Several factors contribute to the formation and severity of cellulite.

  • Genetics and hormone levels influence fat distribution and skin elasticity.
  • Age‑related thinning of the skin and loss of collagen make dimpling more apparent.
  • Lifestyle habits such as a diet high in fat or carbohydrates, smoking, prolonged sitting and inadequate hydration can worsen circulation and fluid retention.
  • Women are more prone to cellulite than men because their septae run vertically, allowing fat to bulge through the tissue.

Cellulite formation

What Can Cellulite Treatments Address?

Cellulite treatments target areas where dimpling and uneven texture are most common. These include the thighs, buttocks, hips, abdomen and upper arms. By stimulating collagen and improving circulation, our therapies help smooth skin and improve tone, resulting in a more contoured and even appearance.

Types of Cellulite Treatments

Fotona Laser (TightSculpting)

This dual‑wavelength laser therapy heats deep tissues to trigger collagen remodelling and tighten the skin. The laser’s thermal energy also helps reduce fat cell volume and improve overall elasticity, resulting in smoother contours and firmer skin without surgery.

Endermologie (LPG)

Endermologie is a mechanical massage technique using rollers and suction to stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage. By mobilising fluids and loosening the fibrous bands under the skin, it improves skin tone and reduces the appearance of cellulite while promoting relaxation.

Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency devices deliver controlled heat into the dermis and subcutaneous fat. This thermal energy boosts collagen production and helps break down fat cells. Over a series of treatments, the skin becomes tighter and the dimpled appearance of cellulite decreases.

Subcision

Subcision is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a fine, specialised blade to release the fibrous septae tethering the skin. By cutting these bands, subcision allows the skin to lift and smooth out. It is often combined with other therapies and can deliver longer‑lasting improvements.

Frequently Asked Question

Is Cellulite More Common in Women Than Men?

Yes, cellulite tends to be more prevalent in women due to the specific distribution of fat, muscle, and connective tissue in their skin. Men can also develop cellulite, but the patterns of tissue distribution make it less visible. Women’s skin structure, combined with hormonal factors, makes them more susceptible to cellulite.
The Cellulite scale has three stages, with Stage 1 being the mildest and Stage 3 being the most severe.
  • Stage 1: No dimpling when standing or lying down, but the pinch test shows an “orange peel” look.
  • Stage 2: “Orange peel” dimpling appears when standing up, but not when lying down.
  • Stage 3: “Orange peel” dimpling appears when standing up and lying down.
Most clients need four to eight sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results. The exact number depends on cellulite severity and the chosen treatment combination.
Before your appointment, maintain a healthy lifestyle, stay well hydrated and avoid excessive salt or alcohol that may contribute to fluid retention. On the day of treatment, arrive with clean skin free of lotions or oils. Wear comfortable clothing and discuss any medications or health concerns with your provider during your consultation.
Improvements usually appear within a few weeks after the first session. Continued treatments and maintenance sessions further enhance smoothness and skin firmness.
Your session begins with a consultation to determine the most suitable combination of treatments. Depending on the selected therapy, your practitioner may apply a cooling gel, protective eyewear or numbing cream. Non‑invasive procedures involve the sensation of warmth, suction or gentle pressure as the device glides over the skin. Minimally invasive subcision requires local anaesthesia. Each session is customised to your goals and comfort level.
