Cellulite Treatment

About

Cellulite is a common condition that affects most women at some point in their lives. The appearance of cellulite dimpling can be bothersome and impact our lifestyle and what we wear. Fortunately, at Cerulean Medical Institute we have several effective cellulite treatments in Kelowna, BC.

Cellulite can be identified as lumpy or dimpled skin on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. Some people describe their skin as having an orange peel texture or cottage cheese appearance. Skin dimpling occurs when connective bands are tightened and fat is pushed up between the bands through thinner skin. Dr. Chetty offers non-invasive cellulite treatments to combat these effects and restore smoother, softer unblemished skin.

• More Info

  Cellulite causes are multifactorial with genes, hormones and aging of the skin playing important roles. Cellulite reduction treatment is thus multimodal and involves strengthening of the thinning dermis, relaxing of the fibrous connective tissue bands and fat modulation. Best cellulite treatment results are seen with an holistic approach and understanding of cellulite pathology.

  Radiesse

  Radiesse is a collagen and elastin boosting injectable filler made with calcium hydroxyapatite, a substance naturally found in the body. When Radiesse is injected into puckered or dimpled skin, it thickens atrophic or thin skin, gently lifting and smoothening the skin to combat the appearance of cellulite.

  Body Contouring & Skin Tightening

  Our advanced body contouring and skin tightening treatments combine radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production, remodeling the cellulite tissue areas. This cellulite reduction treatment contours and removes unwanted fat cells, which are partially responsible for cellulite development. This helps to facilitate firmer, smoother silkier skin.

  Subcision

  Subcision is a comfortable and effective cellulite treatment performed under local anesthesia. A needle is inserted under the skin to release overly tightened connective tissue bands, which relieves tension and allows the skin to relax. This treatment is a great way to target cellulite along with Radiesse and body contouring at its source and improve the appearance of cellulite.

  FAQS ABOUT CELLULITE TREATMENT IN KELOWNA

  • Does cellulite go away with weight loss?

    Some improvements can be seen with weight loss and muscle toning, but fat is not the only cause of cellulite. Many women develop cellulite even if they are at a healthy weight due to genetics and aging.

  • What is the most effective cellulite treatment?

    Radiofrequency, ultrasound, dermal fillers, and subcision are all effective synergistic treatments for cellulite. The amount of cellulite and its degree (mild to severe) will be used to determine which treatments are best for you.

  • Does massage help cellulite?

    Some people may try massage techniques like cellulite rollers to improve the look of cellulite. Massages can temporarily improve the skin’s appearance but are not a solution for cellulite.

  • At what age do you get cellulite?

    Women of all ages can be affected by cellulite. It typically first develops in your 20s-30s as the result of genetics, hormonal changes, or changes in the structure of the skin.

  • Can you actually get rid of cellulite?

    Although it is difficult to permanently eliminate cellulite, non-surgical cosmetic treatments can significantly improve the skin’s appearance with results that last several months to years.
