Condition
Cellulite
Cellulite is a common yet frustrating skin condition that often affects the appearance of the thighs and buttocks. Although it’s completely harmless, the dimpling and uneven texture caused by cellulite can be a source of concern for many.
At AboutSkin Dermatology and Aesthetics, our Board-Certified Dermatologists understand how cellulite can impact your confidence and self-image. We offer advanced, proven treatments using the latest technology and techniques to help reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve your skin’s texture.
What Is Cellulite?
Cellulite occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin, creating a dimpled, uneven surface texture. This natural process results in the characteristic “orange peel” or “cottage cheese” appearance. These symptoms most commonly appear on the thighs (outer and inner) and buttocks but may also affect the abdomen, hips and even the upper arms.
The visible signs of cellulite include:
- Dimpled or lumpy skin texture
- Uneven skin surface appearance
- Skin that appears bumpy when pinched
- Areas that feel softer or less firm than the surrounding skin
What Causes Cellulite?
Despite common misconceptions, cellulite can affect people of all body types and fitness levels. The condition is particularly common in women due to the unique structure of female connective tissue and fat distribution patterns.
Multiple factors can contribute to cellulite formation, including:
- Hormonal influences, particularly estrogen
- Genetic predisposition
- Natural aging process
- Changes in skin thickness and elasticity
- Fat cell distribution patterns
- Connective tissue structure
- Poor circulation
- Lifestyle factors, including smoking and lack of exercise
- Dehydration and poor skin health
While diet and exercise can help maintain overall health, they may not significantly impact existing cellulite due to its structural nature. The condition often becomes more noticeable with age as skin loses elasticity and becomes thinner, making the underlying structural changes more apparent.
What Cellulite Treatments Are Available?
EMTONE®
EmTone combines thermal and mechanical energy to target all major factors contributing to cellulite. This noninvasive treatment simultaneously emits both radiofrequency and targeted pressure energy to smooth the appearance of dimpling while improving skin texture and firmness. The dual-action approach helps stimulate collagen production, enhance circulation and improve lymphatic drainage in the treated areas.
Avéli®
Avéli is an innovative, minimally invasive treatment that targets the fibrous bands causing cellulite dimples. This procedure allows for the careful release of these bands under direct visualization, providing long-lasting improvement in the appearance of cellulite dimples. What makes Avéli unique is its precision targeting system, which helps achieve optimal results while minimizing its impact on surrounding tissues.
EXION™ US+RF
Exion US+RF combines ultrasound and radiofrequency energies to address cellulite comprehensively. The dual-energy approach helps break down fat deposits while simultaneously tightening skin and improving tissue quality, resulting in smoother, firmer-looking skin. This advanced technology penetrates multiple layers of tissue to address cellulite at various depths, providing more complete treatment results.
