Cellulite

cellulite
  • Description

    Cellulite refers to the dimpled, lumpy appearance of skin, typically on the thighs, buttocks, and hips, caused by underlying fat deposits pushing through connective tissue. It's a common condition among women and can be influenced by factors like genetics, hormones, diet, and lifestyle. Despite being harmless, cellulite can affect confidence and self-esteem for some individuals.

  • Cause

    Cellulite is a herniation of subcutaneous fat that pushes between fibrous bands of connective tissue. This results in skin dimpling and nodularity around the abdomen, limbs, or pelvis.

  • Treatment

    Subcision - with the use of a minimally invasive thin long needle it is possible to cut the bands that cause cellulite. This procedure allows for a smoother appearance of the overlying skin and new collagen formation.

    Qwo - is the first FDA, a non-surgical approved treatment for moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks. Results are noted within 10 weeks of treatment, usually 3 weeks apart.
