Cellulite
Cellulite is a common skin concern that creates a dimpled or uneven appearance, most often on the thighs, hips, and buttocks. While completely normal and medically harmless, cellulite can be frustrating when it persists despite exercise or weight changes.
How We Approach Cellulite
Cellulite varies significantly from person to person, which is why treatment begins with a detailed assessment. We evaluate the areas involved, degree of dimpling, skin laxity, and underlying tissue structure to determine which treatments are most appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cellulite is primarily related to connective tissue structure, genetics, and hormones rather than body weight. Even individuals with low body fat can develop cellulite.
Exercise and healthy habits support overall skin quality but do not eliminate cellulite. Structural factors beneath the skin largely determine its appearance.
The number of sessions depends on the treatment selected and the severity of cellulite. This is discussed during your consultation.
Some treatments provide long-lasting improvement, but aging and connective tissue changes can affect results over time. Maintenance may be recommended.
This depends on the treatment. For example, Profound RF does involve some downtime as most patients may experience swelling, firmness, and tenderness in the treated areas. While normal daily activities can usually be resumed within a few days, full recovery and visible improvement continue gradually over several weeks.
