Cellulite is a condition that predominantly affects women – usually around the buttocks and at the back of the thighs. The exact cause is still unclear, but the appearance of cellulite can be associated with aging, weight gain and fluctuating hormonal levels. Regardless of the cause, cellulite gives the skin an uneven, lumpy appearance – commonly referred to as “orange-peel skin” or “cottage cheese skin”. Currently, there is no definitive cure for cellulite, but by simultaneously reducing subcutaneous fat and heating the collagen fibers in the area, it is possible to diminish the appearance of cellulite. Heating the fatty tissue beneath the skin results in the destruction of fat as well as tightening of the overlying skin. With repeated treatments, the overall effect is an improvement in the lumpy appearance of the skin.

Using a combination of ultrasound and radiofrequency treatments results in an improvement in the lumpy appearance of skin.
