Cellulite is a collection of fat that pushes against the connective tissue beneath the skin. It is often seen on the thighs, stomach and buttocks. Cellulite makes the skin surface look lumpy and puckered, or appear dimpled. It is more prevalent in women.
Cellulite forms when fibrous bands connecting the skin to the underlying muscle tighten irregularly. This tightening pulls down on the skin and the normal layer of fat beneath the skin is pushed upward. This results in a puckering appearance on the skin.
Cellulite has four grades:
Grade 0: There isn’t any cellulite on your body.
Grade 1: Your skin is smooth when you stand up, but mild dimpling appears when you sit down.
Grade 2: Your skin has moderate dimples when you stand up or when you sit down.
Grade 3: Your skin has severe dimples when you stand up or sit down. Your skin also features deep peaks and valleys (raised and depressed areas)
Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy
Radiofrequency therapy is a non-invasive cellulite treatment that uses high-frequency energy waves to heat the skin's tissues. The heat generated by the radiofrequency waves causes the collagen fibres in the skin to contract, which results in a tightening effect. This tightening effect can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite by smoothing out the skin's surface.
In addition to this, the heat generated by the radiofrequency waves also increases blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which can help to remove toxins and waste products from the affected area. This can improve the overall health of the skin and reduce inflammation, which can also contribute to the appearance of cellulite.
Over time, the heating effect of radiofrequency therapy can also stimulate collagen production, which can help to further improve the texture and tone of the skin
