What is Cellulite?
Treatment for Cellulite
There are many options for cellulite treatment, but it is important to understand that none of them can permanently get rid of cellulite. However, some treatments can reduce its appearance. Here is a breakdown of the different categories:
Subcision
A minimally invasive surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of cellulite. It involves using a specialized needle or cannula to cut the fibrous bands beneath the skin that cause the dimpled look. Consult with Dr. Parth Patel for treatment today.
Non-Invasive Energy Treatments
These treatments use technologies like radiofrequency, ultrasound, or laser to target deeper skin layers. They aim to improve circulation, boost collagen production, and possibly break down fibrous septae that cause cellulite’s appearance.
Products like Radiesse® and Sculptra®, while designed for facial rejuvenation, in select cases can be helpful for cellulite treatment.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Lifestyle changes: Keeping a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, and exercising regularly can all help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
- Realistic expectations: No treatment can completely get rid of cellulite. It is best to focus on treatments that can improve its appearance and keep a healthy lifestyle.
It is important to consult with our cosmetic dermatologist and surgeon, Dr. Parth Patel, to discuss which cellulite treatment option might be right for you, considering your individual needs and expectations.
