Cellulite is subcutaneous fat that causes dimples in the skin. It is most prominent on females, particularly in the hips and thighs. When an excess amount of fat builds up underneath the skin, it pushes on the fibrous tissue’s underneath, giving it that characteristic clumpy appearance. Thankfully, there are procedures to help reduce the appearance of cellulite, so you can look and feel your best starting at $375.

What do I need to do to prepare for my skin tightening appointment?

In order to prepare for your skin tightening treatment, it is recommended to avoid plucking or waxing for a week prior to your treatment and do not get a filler, injectable, or other skin procedure to the area(s) we’ll be treating. This includes chemical peels, facials, Botox, Juvederm, and any light-based treatments.

Shave the day prior to your laser treatment. There may be an additional charge if we need to shave you.

Avoid being in the sun without sunscreen on the area(s) you’re having treated for 10 days prior to your treatment. This includes sunless tanning products, tanning beds, and spray tanning.

Do not use prescribed abrasive chemicals, facial treatments, or other laser treatments on the area(s) to be treated for 7 days prior to your treatment.

How can Better You Spas help with cellulite?

Cellulite is caused by a shortening of fibrous tissue cords in the skin. This tightening pushes fatty tissues up to the surface of the skin leading to a dimpling effect. Cellulite tends to appear after a woman has finished puberty, with evidence showing it becomes more common with age. New technological advances are always coming to the market to treat cellulite. And with each new advancement, we gain a better understanding of how to better treat it.

These days, there are many laser cellulite treatment options to choose from. Some of which involve putting a laser under your skin, where it breaks up the tough bands that cause cellulite dimpling.

These treatments also promote thicker skin. This is important because a major factor in cellulite is the thinning of the skin, leading to easier dimpling. Stimulating collagen and elastin production in the treatment area helps improve the skin’s appearance.

Research indicates that laser cellulite treatments may be effective in reducing the appearance of cellulite. Other methods of removing cellulite can be more expensive and more invasive.

What to expect after the appointment?

There is minimal recovery required after treatment with cellulite removal procedures and you may even resume most activities that same day; however, it is recommended to take it easy for the first 24 hours. You can expect some mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness for the first several days, but over-the-counter pain medication can help ease any discomfort.

Optimal results are typically achieved within three months of the procedure, with smoother contours and reduced cellulite. Results are long-lasting, but cannot prevent future cellulite from developing, so a future treatment session may be needed.

How do I prepare for my Cellulite Removal treatment?

Cellulite removal is a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure, so you won’t need to prepare much. Good candidates for cellulite removal include those who:

• are between 20 and 60
• have a stable weight
• have minimal skin laxity or looseness

Remember, you can always have a talk with your doctor before your treatment to see if you’re a good candidate. They can also help you set realistic expectations about how the treatment can address your needs.
