What Is Cellulite?

Understanding the Causes and Factors

Cellulite is a very common, harmless skin condition marked by lumpy, dimpled flesh—often appearing on the thighs, hips, buttocks, and abdomen.
While it’s far more common in women than in men, cellulite does not indicate disease. It’s mostly a cosmetic issue.

The Causes of Cellulite

Structural Factors

Cellulite can form due to the skin’s underlying structure.
Connective tissue bands pull the skin downward, while fat pushes upward—creating the dimpled, uneven appearance.

Hormones & Genetics

Hormonal changes (especially estrogen) and genetic predisposition influence skin thickness, fat distribution, and connective tissue structure. If it runs in the family, chances are higher.

Lifestyle & Body Composition

Weight gain, lack of muscle tone, and reduced skin elasticity can make cellulite more visible. However, even lean and active individuals may develop cellulite. Lifestyle factors such as inactivity, poor circulation, and natural aging also contribute to its appearance.

Advanced Cellulite Treatments at Dr. A Clinic

Acoustic Wave Therapy

BTL X-Wave™ uses acoustic wave technology to improve circulation, boost metabolism, and reduce the appearance of cellulite. This non-invasive treatment helps smooth uneven skin texture and is often combined with CRISTAL Pro® for enhanced tightening and body contouring.

Muscle Toning with HIFEM Energy

BTL EMBODY® uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Energy (HIFEM) to strengthen and tone muscles, providing the effect of 20,000 sit-ups in just one session. It is ideal for post-pregnancy recovery, abdominal muscle separation (腹直肌分离), and body contouring, giving firmer, smoother skin without downtime.

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for Body

HIFU technology delivers focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen, tighten tissues, and reduce cellulite dimpling. The Ultracel® system is especially effective for cellulite, skin laxity, and stretch marks. Treatments may be combined with Fractional RF or RF Microneedling for enhanced results.

APTOS® Thread Lift for Body

The APTOS® Thread Lift provides an immediate lifting effect while stimulating collagen for lasting skin firmness. It is especially effective on body areas such as the buttocks, thighs, abdomen, arms, and knees, helping improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of cellulite with minimal downtime.
