What Causes Cellulite?
Cellulite is caused when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin. It causes a dimpled or lumpy look to the skin, typically in the thighs and buttocks. Cellulite has also been called orange-peel skin, cottage cheese skin, hail damage, and mattress phenomenon.
Men and women alike can develop cellulite, but it is more common in women. Up to 90% of women might experience it in their lifetime.

What Are the Best Treatments for Cellulite?
There are many cellulite treatment options available, ranging from laser treatments to subcision.
Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy
This approach heats the deeper layers of the skin to boost collagen production and create a smoother, tighter, younger-looking surface. Thermage® is one of the safest and most popular forms of treatment on the market today.
Subcision
In this approach, a device reaches below the skin to cut through the fibrous bands pulling down on the skin’s surface and causing a dimpled look.
Lasers
Lasers provide a combination of boosted collagen production and more even fat distribution. Results vary depending on the type of laser used.
Acoustic Wave Therapy
Acoustic waves disrupt the fibrous bands pulling down on the skin, giving the surface a smoother and more even appearance.
Your board-certified dermatologist can help you decide which approach is right for you, depending on the nature and severity of your cellulite.
What Is Recovery Like After a Cellulite Treatment?
Recovery time varies depending on the treatment itself, but most approaches require little to no downtime and yield long-lasting results.
Cellulite Treatment FAQ
Treatments that release the fibrous bands associated with cellulite provide immediate results.
We offer treatments that can significantly decrease the appearance of cellulite, especially the most noticeable dimples, but it’s unlikely that we can completely eliminate it.
The longevity of results varies between treatments and patients but is generally as follows:
- Thermage (radiofrequency): 2+ years
- Subcision: About 3 years
- Laser: About a year
Cellulite is more related to the thickness and elasticity of a person’s skin than their weight.
Even though there is no recovery following BOTOX injections, there are a few things you should avoid in the first 24 to 48 hours after your appointment. These include rubbing the injection site or sites, strenuous exercise, alcohol and caffeine, extended sun exposure, and blood-thinning medication.
If you want a nonsurgical way to rejuvenate your face, BOTOX and other injectable treatments are an excellent option. To schedule an appointment, call (979) 353-4267 or request a consultation online to speak with one of our experienced injectors at a location near you.
