Cellulite treatment

Cellulite is dimpled or lumpy skin, most common on the thighs, buttocks and hips. It happens when bands of connective tissue pull the skin down while fat pushes up. It is very common, especially in women, and is not a health problem.

Treatment can improve the look of cellulite, but no treatment removes it completely, and results vary.

Treatments we may recommend

• Body contouring such as truSculpt, which uses radiofrequency energy to reduce fat in the treated area
• AccuTite, a minimally invasive radiofrequency treatment for small areas of loose skin and fat
• Other body contouring and skin-tightening treatments chosen for your concern

Options depend on whether the main concern is dimpling, loose skin or excess fat. Reducing fat does not always smooth dimpling, so your provider will explain what each treatment can realistically change.

What to expect

Your provider looks at the area and talks through which options suit you, how many sessions you may need and what results to expect.
