Cellulite: Causes & Advanced Treatment Solutions at EMAN Aesthetics
What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is a common condition that causes dimpling and uneven skin texture, primarily on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. It occurs due to structural changes beneath the skin, including:
- Fibrous septae (connective tissue bands) pulling the skin downward, creating dimples
- Fat accumulation pushing against the skin, leading to an uneven surface
- Collagen loss and skin laxity, which worsen the appearance of cellulite over time
While cellulite is completely normal, it can be challenging to treat with diet and exercise alone. At EMAN Aesthetics, we offer an advanced, multi-modal approach designed to break fibrous bands, tighten skin, and stimulate collagen production for smoother, firmer skin.
Cellulite Treatment Protocol at EMAN Aesthetics
1. RF Microneedling (Radiofrequency Microneedling)
RF Microneedling combines microneedling with controlled radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, stimulate collagen, and improve texture. By delivering heat deep into the dermis, this treatment reduces fat pockets and smooths the appearance of cellulite over time.
- Best for: Mild to moderate cellulite, skin laxity
- Downtime: Minimal (redness for 24-48 hours)
- Sessions needed: 3-5 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart
2. Subcision Techniques for Fibrous Bands
Cellulite is often caused by fibrous septae pulling the skin downward, creating a dimpled appearance. Subcision involves using a specialized instrument to break these fibrous bands, allowing the skin to smooth out naturally.
At EMAN Aesthetics, we use advanced subcision techniques for effective cellulite release, including:
- Cannula-based subcision for precise band release
- Blunt or Taylor Liberator subcision for deeper, more resistant cellulite
- Best for: Moderate to severe cellulite with deep dimples
- Downtime: Mild bruising/swelling for 5-7 days
- Sessions needed: 1-3 sessions, spaced 6-8 weeks apart
3. Biostimulators for Skin Tightening & Collagen Boosting
Biostimulators such as Sculptra® or Radiesse® are injected after subcision to stimulate collagen production and improve skin firmness. These treatments help to maintain smooth skin and prevent the recurrence of cellulite.
- Best for: Skin laxity, collagen depletion, post-subcision support
- Downtime: Minimal (mild swelling for 24-48 hours)
- Sessions needed: 1-2 sessions, spaced 6-12 weeks apart
4. Compression Therapy for Post-Treatment Support
Post-procedure compression garments are recommended to:
- Reduce swelling and bruising
- Support lymphatic drainage
- Help the skin adapt to the new, smoother structure
Patients are advised to wear compression garments for 1-2 weeks post-treatment for optimal healing and results.
