Degrees and types
Not all cellulite is the same, which is why prior diagnosis is so important: each type responds better to certain treatments than others. Here are the four main types.
Soft-looking skin, easy to pinch. Common in sedentary people or those with weight fluctuations; associated with circulatory problems.
Radiofrequency and firming treatment
Skin with a firm and compact appearance, difficult to pinch. Common in young people or those with toned muscles.
Shockwave therapy and mesotherapy
Very much related to the water retention and poor circulation; it usually causes a feeling of heaviness in the legs.
Pressotherapy and drainage.
More consolidated, with Hardened nodules. It usually requires more intensive treatments and consistency to improve.
Combined and intensive approach
It is also spoken of Degrees depending on its visibility: from a cellulite that is only appreciated when the skin is pinched, to degrees where the dimples are visible when standing or even lying down. The sooner it is addressed and the less severe the degree, the better the results tend to be.
Why does it appear
Cellulite is a condition of the subcutaneous tissue in which fatty tissue, along with fluid retention and poor circulation, forms nodules that push against the skin, creating the characteristic appearance of Dimples or orange peel skin, especially on the thighs, buttocks, hips, and abdomen. These are the factors that most favour their appearance:
Oestrogens influence the distribution of fat and fluid retention; this is why it is much more common in women.
Genetics and skin type influence the tendency to develop cellulite and how it manifests.
Poor circulation and fluid retention contribute to the formation of nodules and a feeling of heaviness.
Lack of physical activity and sudden weight changes worsen the appearance of cellulite.
A diet high in salt, sugars and fats, and drinking little water, contributes to fluid retention and fat.
Slim people also have cellulite; in men it is rare due to the different distribution of fatty tissue.
Understanding why it appears is key, because effective treatment usually is AgreedIt's not enough to just act on fat, but also on circulation, fluid retention, and lifestyle.
Treatments
There is no single «miracle» treatment: the best results are achieved combining techniques Depending on the type of cellulite, its grade, and each person's objectives. These are the main approaches.
Apply controlled heat to the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen, to improve firmness and promote drainage. It helps to improve texture and firm the skin, particularly in cases of soft cellulite with a degree of sagging.
Acoustic shockwaves act on the fibrous septa and stimulate microcirculation, helping to smooth out dimples and to improve elasticity. They are often useful for more fibrous or established cellulite.
It consists of microinjections of active ingredients (lipolytic, draining, revitalising) directly into the area to be treated. It can help with mobilise localised fat and to improve fluid retention. It is a medical act that is assessed and prescribed by the medical team on a case-by-case basis.
lymphatic drainage and blood circulation. lymphatic drainage, reduce fluid retention and alleviates the feeling of heaviness. It is particularly useful in oedematous cellulite and as a complement to other techniques.
No treatment offers lasting results without lifestyle changes. balanced diet, Good hydration, reducing salt, daily movement, and strength training are a real deterrent against cellulite and help maintain what has been achieved in consultation.
Sessions
Cellulite requires persistenceThe results appear progressively over several sessions. As a rough guide, a plan usually includes between 5 and 10 sessions, with a weekly or fortnightly frequency, although the exact number is personalised after diagnosis according to the type of cellulite, the grade and each person's response. Many patients begin.
Results
Let's be clear: Cellulite cannot be eliminated forever or in a «definitive» way». What we achieve with a good plan is to reduce the appearance of cellulite, improve texture and firmness and reduce fluid retention, with a result that can be very visible but requires maintenance. As cellulite has a hormonal, genetic, and lifestyle component, if habits are completely abandoned and maintenance sessions are not carried out, it tends to reappear over time. That's why we set realistic goals and a sustainable plan.
First step
First free consultation with the Body Aesthetic Medicine Unit, in Girona. We will explain your type and grade of cellulite and which combination of treatments is best suited for you, with realistic goals and no obligation.
For whom and how is it maintained
The treatment for cellulite is designed for those who want to improve the appearance of dimpled and firm skin. It is a aesthetic improvement, not a treatment for being overweight: if the main goal is to lose weight, the approach is different. These are the key points, step by step.
Designed for people who want to improve the appearance of cellulite on thighs, buttocks, hips or abdomen, gain texture and firmness, or relieve the feeling of heavy legs due to fluid retention.
They are not an «extra»: a balanced diet, low in salt and sugar and rich in water and fibre, helps to control fluid retention and fat. Strength training combined with cardiovascular activity improves tone, circulation and body composition, enhancing and prolonging results.
The results are not permanent on their own. They are maintained with healthy lifestyle habits and periodic maintenance sessions. As cellulite has a multifactorial origin, without maintenance it tends to reappear over time.
