If you suffer from cellulite, you’re not alone.
In fact, 80 to 90% of women experience cellulite at some point in their lives. Unlike in men, fat cells and connective tissue are arranged vertically in women. Cellulite occurs when fat cells protrude around connective tissue, and it can appear on areas such as the:
Treatable Areas
Thighs
Buttocks
Hips
Stomach
Just like many skin conditions, cellulite can vary in severity.
Grade 1
Gives skin an “orange peel” and slightly draped appearance. Usually marked by 1 to 4 superficial indentations.
Grade 2
Gives skin a “cottage cheese” and moderately draped appearance. Usually marked by 5 to 9 medium-depth indentations.
Grade 3
Gives skin a “mattress” and severely draped appearance. Usually marked by 10 or more deep indentations.

Recommended Treatments
Cellfina is an FDA-cleared minimally invasive procedure for the improvement of cellulite with a single procedure producing results that last at least 3 years. This innovative procedure uses subcision (a micro-blade technique) to release fibrous bands, the principal cause of cellulite, for smooth, dimple-free skin.
Sculptra reverses signs of aging, including skin laxity that could accentuate cellulite. These injectables promote collagen production to improve the elasticity of the skin to reduce laxity, and dimpling.
Venus Legacy combines Multi-Polar Radio Frequency, VariPulse Technology, and Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields to penetrate deep in the skin to maximize your outcome by stimulating new collagen production, enhancing blood flow, decreasing fat cell size, and tightening skin. With each Venus Legacy procedure, a Z-Wave treatment is included which further enhances blood flow, drains lymphatic fluid from the area, and relaxes the fibrous bands that create cellulite. Patients can expect smoother, tighter skin with no downtime as a result of this combination treatment.
