What Causes Cellulite?

Cellulite’s causes are multi-factorial. They mainly include one or more of the following conditions:

Poor Vascular Function
Poor Lymphatic Drainage
Stiff Connective Tissue
Trapped Fat
Hormonal Imbalances (Estrogen Dominance)
Poor Muscle Tone
Lifestyle Issues

Parts of the Body Most Commonly Affected by Cellulite?

Cellulite is most often seen on the thighs and buttocks. However, the septae that connect to the skin exist throughout the body. For this reason, some people may notice dimpling on the backs of the arms, the stomach, or the back.

Who is a Candidate for Cellulite Treatment?

Cellulite primarily affects women due to the pattern of the connective tissue and fibrous septae that tether the skin to the underlying tissue.

Women of all ages can struggle with the appearance of cellulite. Those who understand what treatment can accomplish and what it cannot may be good candidates for cellulite reduction.

Expectations are also a relevant factor in patient satisfaction. Currently, research has no definitive answer regarding the longevity of cellulite treatment results. Patients who choose to undergo treatment should understand that there is not, at this time, a significant indication that cellulite treatments are a permanent solution.

Is Cellulite Treatment Painful?

Cellulite treatment is not painful. However, if necessary, a provider may perform the procedure utilizing appropriate local anesthetic.

For the most part, patients feel pressure during their treatment. While pain is a subjective sensation, most people tolerate their procedure just fine.

Some patients report mild soreness after their cellulite treatment. This dissipates over the course of a few days and may be soothed by applying cool compresses.

How We Treat Cellulite

Cellulite cannot be eliminated by dieting and exercise alone. Diet and exercise affect deep fat but fail to reach the superficial tissue of the skin. Weight and fat may be reduced, but cellulite remains. Even women who exercise regularly and follow low-fat, nutritious diets may still have cellulite.

Not all available treatments address all of the possible factors for cellulite. That’s why Creative Image Laser Solutions takes a combination approach to treating cellulite using all available technologies and research. We offer the latest modalities for our patients.

What Happens if Cellulite Goes Untreated?

Untreated cellulite does not become a medical concern. However, it may become more cosmetically frustrating over time.

Fortunately, cellulite treatment is a safe and convenient solution that can be scheduled anytime.

Can I Combine Cellulite Treatment With Other Procedures?

Patients often schedule multiple treatments in a single appointment. Cellulite treatment can be combined with other procedures to maximize time and recovery. When you consult with one of our specialists, we can discuss your concerns and desired improvements and develop a personal treatment plan.

What is Recovery Like After Cellulite Treatment?

Patients who undergo cellulite treatment typically have little, if any, downtime. Many cellulite-removal patients can return to work and other daily activities immediately after their procedure.

What Results Can You Expect From Your Cellulite Treatment?

Cellulite treatment may take some time to provide meaningful aesthetic results. It may take several weeks to visualize the final outcome of the procedure. After that point, patients may enjoy smoother, tighter-looking skin for years before the evidence of cellulite reappears.

Ideally, patients who undergo cellulite treatment remain committed to a healthy, active lifestyle that facilitates optimal weight management. In this circumstance, we expect the outcome of treatment to last years.

What Can I Do To Maintain the Results of My Cellulite Treatment?

Maintaining the results of your cellulite treatment requires a proactive approach. Here are some lifestyle habits that can help:

Exercise: Regular exercise, particularly strength training and cardiovascular activities, helps to tone muscles and reduce fat. This can prevent cellulite from reappearing.
Hydration: Hydration is crucial. Well-hydrated skin appears smoother and healthier.
Nutrition: Adopting a balanced diet with plenty of lean proteins, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables can prevent weight gain and further skin dimpling.
Maintenance Treatments: Periodic maintenance treatments can help sustain the initial results over the long term.
Avoiding Smoking: Smoking can interfere with blood flow and damage connective tissues. These issues, in turn, worsen cellulite.

How Does Cellulite Treatment Differ From Body Contouring?

Cellulite treatment and body contouring target different concerns. However, they may sometimes overlap.

Cellulite treatment addresses the dimpled, uneven skin texture caused by the tightening of fibrous bands beneath the skin and fat accumulation. These treatments aim to smooth the skin’s surface.

On the other hand, body contouring focuses on reducing fat in specific areas of the body and improving overall body shape. Body contouring can enhance your silhouette. It does not always treat cellulite, though.

Does Cellulite Treatment Help With Stretch Marks?

Cellulite treatment smooths out skin dimpling caused by fat deposits. It does not directly address stretch marks, though.

Stretch marks result from the skin stretching rapidly. This causes scars beneath the skin’s surface.

Some treatments for cellulite, such as laser therapies or radiofrequency, can improve skin elasticity and texture. However, they do not target the underlying cause of stretch marks.

For stretch marks, a separate treatment like microneedling or laser therapy designed for scar reduction may be more effective.

How Does Diet Affect the Effectiveness of Cellulite Treatment?

Diet plays an essential role in supporting the results of cellulite treatment.

A diet high in processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats can increase fat accumulation. This exacerbates the appearance of cellulite.

Conversely, a diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, lean proteins, and healthy fats can boost skin health and reduce inflammation. This makes cellulite less visible.

Staying hydrated also helps keep the skin supple and firm. This enhances treatments’ effectiveness and reduces cellulite’s appearance over time.
