Cellulite Treatment

Cellulite is one of those problems that many people, particularly women, face. It looks lumpy, bumpy, and unappealing in most cases, which means that you are likely to experience some level of self-consciousness when you have cellulite. While many treatments are only able to provide temporary treatment for cellulite, they are generally effective to some degree. In order for you to find out which treatments are best for you and your needs, it is important to come to our New Jersey cosmetic surgery center in order to learn more.

It’s first a good idea that we go over the basics of cellulite so you know what it is. You know it by the looks, certainly, and you know it because people keep making references to cottage cheese. Usually you’ll see cellulite in the thighs, buttocks, and belly area. Essentially, cellulite refers to pockets of fat in the body that press up to the connective tissues that is right beneath the skin. Since the connective tissue and fat interact, it causes the bumpiness and lumpiness of appearance.

Most people would think that New Jersey liposuction is a surefire way to get rid of cellulite. Well, unfortunately, liposuction is not an effective cellulite treatment. While liposuction will remove that excess fat, cellulite is not caused by excess fat per se. Even people little body fat can have cellulite.

There are, however, other options for people who are looking to reduce the appearance of cellulite. These treatments involve massage, heat therapy, skin tightening, and other methods can be somewhat effective to quite effective. When you visit our office, these options can be discussed in more detail.
