Can You Get Rid of Cellulite?

Cellulite is the uneven, bumpy appearance of the skin, typically found on larger fleshy areas, such as the thighs, buttocks, tummy, and hips. It’s often described as looking somewhat like orange peel. Over the years there have been many ‘guaranteed’ ways to get rid of it, with varied results. Until now, these have been largely disappointing or involved surgery. 

Thankfully, cellulite treatment has evolved massively over recent years. The following discusses the ultimate solutions for cellulite removal and a roadmap as to how to enjoy the beautiful skin you deserve.

Why cellulite removal without surgery is now possible 

There are not many people who aren’t blighted by cellulite. This naturally occurring condition causes dimpling and lumps on various areas of the body. Many different methods have professed to be able to remove this unsightliness—from creams to massage to supplements—right through to painful surgical methods. 

But let’s be honest about most of these. They simply don’t work.

So what’s different now? How can there be non or minimally invasive treatments that really do alter the appearance of the skin? It’s simply down to one thing—research and technology. Not only are there now genuine procedures that can reduce the dimpled effect of cellulite, but they don’t have the massive side effects that have historically been associated with solutions, such as highly invasive surgery.

Cellulite treatment that works

There are two cutting-edge methods of reducing the appearance of cellulite. These are: 

• FDA-approved injectables
• Laser technology

These can also be used in conjunction with other techniques, such as fat transfer and liposuction. A cellulite doctor will assess your needs and advise the best methods to achieve the natural skin smoothness you desire. 

Laser and Injectables for Cellulite Treatment

• Qwo cellulite treatment
• Cellulaze cellulite treatment

Qwo cellulite treatment

Qwo is a remarkable injectable that’s FDA approved and works by breaking down the bands of collagen that create the dimpled look of the skin. It’s approved for use on the buttocks and is highly effective at creating a smoother skin surface. In certain cases, Qwo can also be used “off label” to treat cellulite on the back of the thighs. 

One massive advantage of Qwo treatment is that it’s done without anaesthetic and requires no downtime post-procedure.

Cellulaze cellulite treatment

Cellulaze is a laser treatment that also targets the bands of collagen, breaking them up and helping reduce the fat bulges. In addition, it also stimulates new collagen to be produced and helps the skin to become thicker. The latter is important because the skin often becomes thinner in areas of cellulite. Encouraging it to thicken further reduces the appearance of cellulite.

The longevity of Cellulaze treatment is impressive. Typical results last for around a year—perhaps even longer if combined with other complementary treatments. 

Multiple and ongoing Cellulaze or Qwo procedures are usually necessary to maintain results. However, each person is individual, so it’s important to place yourself in the hands of a highly experienced cellulite doctor who’ll become your partner on the journey to the beautiful skin you require.
