How Do We Treat Cellulite?
Our providers use advanced technologies, such as radiofrequency and lasers, to reduce the appearance of cellulite. We target the fibrous bands beneath the skin that cause dimpling and uneven texture. The procedure involves directing controlled heat into the treatment area to break up fat deposits and stimulate new collagen production. Multiple sessions, each lasting 30-60 minutes, are usually needed to achieve the desired results. After our treatment, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more evenly textured. Patients may enjoy their rejuvenated look for many years with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Consultation & Preparation
for Cellulite Treatment
Before undergoing cellulite treatment, a consultation is first required to determine if a patient is a good candidate. Our providers evaluate the severity of cellulite, skin type, medical history, and cosmetic goals. They advise on the number of sessions required based on the individual case. Most people need 6-12 treatments spaced 1-4 weeks apart for significant improvement.
Our providers also explain what to expect during and after the procedure so the patient can prepare. We recommend avoiding sun exposure, stopping certain supplements/medications, and hydrating the skin throughout the treatment program. No lotions or creams should be applied to target areas before procedures. Following these guidelines, patients can achieve smooth, youthful-looking skin through our effective cellulite treatments.
Cellulite Treatment Procedure:
A Step-by-Step Guide
Anesthesia
Topical anesthetic cream is applied to the target areas about 30 minutes before the procedure to numb the skin. This mild local anesthesia helps make the treatment comfortable.
Device Configuration
The laser device settings are adjusted based on the severity of cellulite and skin type. This includes wavelength, pulse duration, fluence, and energy level. The radiofrequency device is also configured to achieve optimal results.
Treatment
The treatment site is cleaned, and the handpiece of the laser device is passed over it. Our providers deliver targeted pulses into the skin’s surface, heating the collagen bands underneath that cause cellulite. This helps release the bands and smooth the appearance. A radiofrequency device is then applied to address skin laxity. The radio waves penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening tissues over multiple sessions.
Completion
The laser and radiofrequency devices are turned off once the entire treatment area has been covered. A soothing gel or cream is then applied for patient comfort.
Recovery & Aftercare
Immediately after the procedure, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, and warmth in the treated areas. These effects typically subside within 24-48 hours. A cooling gel is applied to soothe the skin, and patients can return to their daily activities immediately. However, strenuous exercise should be avoided for 24 hours after treatment.
Here are some skincare instructions patients should follow to achieve the best results:
- Keep the treated area clean and moisturized
- Apply recommended creams as directed
- Avoid hot baths, saunas, and direct sun exposure for 48 hours
- Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily
- Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water
Patients should attend scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor their progress and undergo additional procedures. Our providers assess the results and adjust the treatment plan if needed. Most patients see gradual improvement over 2-3 months as collagen production increases.
Candidates for Cellulite Reduction
Skin Type
Our cellulite treatments are safe for fair skin types (Fitzpatrick scale 1-4). While the procedures can be performed on darker tones, special precautions and settings may be necessary to prevent pigmentation.
Cellulite Severity
Patients with mild to moderate cellulite (grades 1-2) are typically the best candidates for our treatments. Those with severe conditions (grade 3) may still benefit but require more intensive protocols or alternative solutions.
Body Mass Index
Candidates should have a stable BMI within a healthy range, typically between 19 and 30. The treatment is not designed for weight loss and works best on individuals near their target weight.
Overall Health Status
Candidates must be in good general health without active skin infections, open wounds, or severe medical conditions. Those with autoimmune diseases, diabetes, or bleeding disorders require careful evaluation before treatment approval.
Lifestyle Stability
Candidates should maintain a stable weight and demonstrate commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Significant BMI fluctuations can affect treatment outcomes and longevity.
Realistic Expectations
Suitable candidates understand that results develop gradually and that this therapy requires multiple sessions. They should have realistic expectations about the degree of improvement possible with non-surgical intervention.
Benefits of Cellulite
Treatment
Smoother Skin
Laser and radiofrequency therapy effectively smooth dimpled areas by targeting the fibrous bands beneath the skin. Our technology breaks down the bands while encouraging the skin to produce new collagen, creating a more even surface texture. We can eliminate excess fat cells, reduce cellulite, and improve the appearance of loose skin.
Less Invasive Than Avéli Cellulite Treatment
Unlike Avéli (a minimally invasive treatment that requires incisions), laser and radiofrequency therapy achieve impressive results without breaking the skin’s surface or damaging connective tissue. Only local anesthesia with a topical cream is used instead of injections. This noninvasive approach means no scarring and a significantly lower risk of complications compared to surgical alternatives.
Minimal Recovery Time
Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. Unlike surgical procedures, there’s no need for extended downtime or recovery periods, making it a convenient option for busy schedules.
Long-Lasting Results
Laser and radiofrequency treatment results can last many years combined with a healthy lifestyle. The dual-action approach improves dimpled skin and stimulates ongoing collagen production for sustained improvement.
