What is cellulite reduction?

Cellulite reduction refers to office-based procedures that decrease or eliminate cellulite. About 90% of women and 10% of men have it, so you’re not alone if you dislike the appearance of your skin due to cellulite.

What areas can cellulite reduction treat?

The most common cellulite reduction treatment areas include: 

• Upper thighs
• Buttocks
• Lower abdomen
• Upper arms
• Hips

If you have cellulite in another area, don’t hesitate to ask the team about cellulite reduction for that spot. Cellulite reduction is effective for nearly any area with unwanted skin dimpling.

What are the options for cellulite reduction? 

There are a plethora of treatment options, including:

• Topical creams
• Rollers 
• Lymphatic massage
• Laser treatments
• Radiofrequency treatments
• Acoustic wave therapy
• Vacuum-assisted tissue release
• Subcision (needling tough bands under the skin) 

Topical treatments are temporary, improving the appearance of cellulite for a few hours by stimulating local blood flow. Laser, radiofrequency, and other office-based treatments can be highly effective with long-lasting results. 

Surgical liposuction, sometimes alongside fat grafting, may be an option for severe cellulite. But, most patients can get good results from non-surgical approaches.

Is cellulite reduction treatment right for me?

Cellulite reduction treatments are a personal choice. In general, if you’re bothered by cellulite or feel self-conscious about your appearance, cellulite reduction treatments at Comprehensive Dermatology might be a good choice for you.

If you’re interested in cellulite reduction, the Comprehensive Dermatology team can evaluate your cellulite and determine whether a non-surgical treatment is the best approach. Generally, mild-to-moderate cellulite responds best to non-surgical treatments, but even severe cellulite is reducible through innovative office-based treatments. 

How many cellulite reduction treatments will I need?

Comprehensive Dermatology creates a personalized cellulite reduction plan for you. Most patients get optimal results with several sessions, but your needs may vary based on the severity of the cellulite and the size of the treatment area. 

How can I maintain my results after cellulite reduction treatments?

Comprehensive Dermatology helps you maintain your results after your cellulite reduction treatments. The team recommends maintaining your weight, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and drinking plenty of water to help deter cellulite reappearance. 

If cellulite makes you want to hide, cellulite reduction treatments can boost your confidence and help you love the body you’re in. To learn more about the different treatment options, call the Comprehensive Dermatology office nearest you or request an appointment online today.
