Cellulite can certainly be a tricky issue. It’s a skin condition that’s common to a lot of us in the UK, but it mainly affects women more than men. For some people, having cellulite isn’t a big problem because, after all, it’s a condition that most people experience. But for others, it can be incredibly frustrating and bothersome.
One of the reasons why treating cellulite has always been so challenging is because we don’t fully understand what causes it. In many situations, fat is considered the main culprit behind cellulite, but this isn’t always the case.
Here’s something that might surprise you: even if you’re in the peak physical condition of your life, you can still end up with cellulite. This can be particularly vexing, but sometimes, the appearance of cellulite is simply down to your body’s structure. It could be a matter of genetics or changes in your hormones. It could be a part of the natural process of ageing, or it might have something to do with the elasticity of your skin.
Regardless of the exact cause of your cellulite, it’s worth noting that there are various treatment options available at Centre for Surgery in London. These treatments can significantly improve the appearance of your cellulite and help to smooth out any inconsistencies in the texture of your skin. They can help to give your skin a smoother, more even look, reducing the prominence of cellulite and helping you to feel more confident in your appearance.
Morpheus8 Body for Cellulite
Some people might see an improvement in their cellulite with a treatment called Morpheus8 Body. This method employs radiofrequency (RF) technology, pairing RF heat with deep microneedling. It’s essentially a skin tightening and remodelling procedure that specifically targets cellulite by condensing tissue in the affected area, making it tauter and firmer. It also works to eliminate minor amounts of fat and stimulates the production of collagen.
In simple terms, whenever you manage to tighten the skin in areas where cellulite has developed, it can result in a significant enhancement in the appearance of that area. This is because you’re not just tightening the skin, but also firming it up and improving the overall structure and texture.
In some cases, we might suggest combining the Morpheus8 Body treatment with laser skin tightening using the Fotona laser. The addition of this laser treatment can provide that little extra boost of skin tightening which can make a real difference in smoothing out the look of your skin, reducing the visual impact of cellulite.
Smooth (Mono) Threads
A method that’s been found effective in reducing the visibility of cellulite is the use of Smooth (Mono) Threads. This treatment involves the insertion of these threads beneath the skin’s surface, specifically in those areas where cellulite most frequently appears, such as around the thighs and buttocks.
If you’ve heard of or even had a thread lift procedure for the face, this will be a somewhat familiar concept. The process for cellulite removal is akin to this, except the objective is not to lift the skin, but to tighten it.
These smooth threads, also referred to as mono threads, are carefully inserted under the skin in a crisscross pattern, much like a mesh, with the aim of tightening the skin tissue. One of the added advantages of this technique is that it encourages the production of collagen – a vital protein that helps to keep our skin firm yet flexible.
By making the skin tighter and smoother through this process, the appearance of cellulite – that characteristic dimpled, ‘orange peel’ texture – can be reduced. The puckering caused by cellulite becomes less noticeable, giving your skin a more even and smooth appearance.
Sculptra and/or Radiesse to Treat Dips & Dimples
Another set of options to tackle cellulite are the treatments known as Sculptra and Radiesse. Both Sculptra and Radiesse are classified as stimulatory fillers, which are designed to build up volume in targeted areas. Moreover, they also stimulate the production of collagen in a significant way. Their main function is to enhance the structural integrity of the skin, a goal that is especially prioritised when using Sculptra.
If your main objective is to strengthen and develop the structure of the tissue in areas where you have cellulite, we would recommend Sculptra. This treatment stimulates the growth of new scar tissue and enhances collagen production. Ultimately, these actions result in greater firmness and flexibility in the treated area, along with a slight increase in volume.
On the other hand, if you require a more immediate boost in volume to fill in the dips and grooves caused by cellulite, and could also benefit from a general increase in collagen production, then Radiesse might be the more suitable treatment for you. This treatment effectively fills in the indentations and dimples caused by cellulite, while also stimulating collagen production for longer-term skin health benefits.
Which cellulite removal option is the best one for me?
This is undeniably the most crucial question, and it’s one that we will discuss in detail with you during your in-person consultation at Centre for Surgery. The primary objective is to evaluate which treatment, or potentially a combination of treatments, best aligns with your body’s specific structure and can offer you the most satisfying results.
Our philosophy centres on personalising treatments to fit your individual needs, while also taking into account your scheduling availability and budgetary constraints.
One last point that we must emphasise, if you’re considering treating your cellulite, is that you should be ready for repeat sessions and maintenance treatments to truly see effective results. Cellulite is notoriously difficult to treat, and it can take some time before you see a notable difference. However, it’s definitely achievable and absolutely worth it! It just requires a little bit more effort and patience on your part.
