Cellulite Treatments
What is Cellulite:
Cellulite is the dimpled, lumpy appearance of the skin that commonly occurs on the thighs, buttocks, hips, and abdomen. It forms when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin. This creates an uneven surface or dimpling, which is sometimes compared to the texture of an orange peel.
Causes of Cellulite:
-
Fat Distribution: Everyone has a layer of fat beneath their skin, and in people with cellulite, fat cells expand and push against the skin while the fibrous connective tissues pull down, leading to the dimpled appearance.
-
Hormones: Hormones like estrogen, insulin, and thyroid hormones may play a role in cellulite formation. For instance, estrogen decreases as women age, which leads to reduced blood flow to connective tissue, decreasing collagen production and making cellulite more visible.
-
Genetics: Genetics can affect a person’s predisposition to cellulite by influencing metabolism, fat distribution, and skin structure.
-
Lifestyle Factors:
-
Diet: Eating too much fat, carbohydrates, salt, and little fiber can increase the risk of cellulite.
-
Lack of Exercise: Inactivity can cause fat to accumulate and reduce muscle tone, contributing to the appearance of cellulite.
-
Hydration: Poor hydration can reduce skin elasticity, making cellulite more noticeable.
-
-
Age: As skin becomes less elastic and thinner with age, cellulite can become more pronounced.
-
Other Factors:
-
Weight fluctuations: Gaining or losing weight may make cellulite more visible.
-
Clothing: Tight clothing that restricts blood flow can contribute to cellulite development over time.

It's important to note that cellulite is extremely common, especially among women, and it is a normal condition. It affects people of all body types and is not necessarily a sign of poor health.
At Jayen Clinic, we offer a comprehensive range of advanced, non-invasive treatments designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve overall skin tone. Our expert team utilises cutting-edge technologies that work together to target stubborn fat, stimulate collagen production, and smooth out dimpled skin. Here's how our specialized treatments can help you achieve smoother, firmer skin:
1. Radio Frequency (with Vacuum)
Our radio frequency (RF) therapy, combined with vacuum technology, effectively targets cellulite by heating the deeper layers of the skin. This process stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin, reducing the appearance of cellulite. The vacuum component enhances blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, which helps in breaking down fat cells and releasing trapped fluids, leaving the skin firmer and smoother.
2. Ultrasonic Cavitation
Cavitation is a non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound waves to break down fat cells, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them through the lymphatic system. This fat-reduction treatment targets the areas where cellulite is most prominent, reducing the appearance of the lumps and bumps that result from fat deposits pressing against connective tissues. Cavitation is a great option for contouring and smoothing problem areas like the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen.
3. Fat Dissolving Injections
Our fat-dissolving injections (often using deoxycholic acid) are designed to break down localized fat deposits that contribute to cellulite. The treatment works by targeting fat cells and liquefying them so that they can be naturally processed by the body. By reducing fat in specific areas, the skin becomes more even, reducing the dimpled appearance associated with cellulite.
4. Cryolipolysis (Fat Freezing)
Cryolipolysis, also known as CoolSculpting, freezes and destroys fat cells in the treated area, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. This treatment is highly effective for reducing localized fat pockets that contribute to cellulite, leaving the skin looking smoother over time. Cryolipolysis is ideal for targeting hard-to-reach areas where cellulite tends to accumulate, such as the thighs and buttocks.
5. Endermologie
Endermologie is a mechanical massage technique that uses rollers and suction to deeply stimulate the skin and underlying tissues. This non-invasive treatment helps break down fat cells, improve circulation, and enhance lymphatic drainage, reducing fluid retention. Endermologie also increases collagen and elastin production, which helps smooth out the skin, making cellulite less visible.
6. Shockwave Therapy (Acoustic Wave Therapy)
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to break down the fibrous tissue that pulls the skin down, causing the characteristic dimpling of cellulite. It also improves blood flow and stimulates collagen production, helping to firm the skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite. This treatment is effective at targeting stubborn cellulite and enhancing skin elasticity.
7. Massage Therapy
At Jayen Clinic, our massage therapy focuses on improving circulation and breaking up the pockets of fat and fluid that contribute to cellulite formation. Our specialised massages help stimulate the lymphatic system, improving drainage and reducing fluid retention. Regular massage can significantly improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of cellulite over time.
8. Compression Therapy
Compression therapy is an effective, non-invasive treatment used to reduce the appearance of cellulite by improving circulation and lymphatic drainage. By applying controlled pressure to targeted areas, this therapy helps to flush out excess fluids and toxins that can accumulate in the tissue, contributing to the dimpled appearance of cellulite. Additionally, compression therapy boosts blood flow, which nourishes the skin and supports collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother skin. Over time, the consistent use of compression therapy can visibly reduce cellulite, improving skin tone and texture while promoting overall skin health.
How Lifestyle Changes Can Support Treatment
While our advanced cellulite-reduction treatments can make a significant difference, long-term results are best supported by healthy lifestyle changes. We encourage our clients to combine our therapies with the following lifestyle adjustments for optimal outcomes:
-
Exercise: Regular physical activity, especially strength training and cardio, can tone muscles and reduce fat deposits, leading to smoother skin. Targeting areas prone to cellulite with exercises like squats and lunges can be particularly effective.
-
Balanced Diet: Eating a healthy, nutrient-rich diet helps reduce body fat, which contributes to cellulite. Incorporating more lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while minimizing processed foods can improve skin health.
-
Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins and keep skin hydrated, making it more elastic and less prone to cellulite.
-
Maintain a Healthy Weight: Avoiding weight fluctuations helps minimize the formation of new cellulite. Maintaining a stable, healthy weight reduces the pressure on connective tissue, preventing new fat deposits from forming.
-
Reduce Salt and Sugar Intake: Cutting back on salt helps prevent water retention, which can exacerbate the appearance of cellulite. Reducing sugar intake supports collagen production and skin elasticity.
By combining the innovative treatments offered at Jayen Clinic with these lifestyle changes, you can achieve noticeable, long-lasting improvements in the appearance of cellulite. Our team is dedicated to providing personalized treatment plans tailored to your needs, ensuring you get the best possible results.
