Different types of cellulite and their treatment

Watch this video to learn about the different types of cellulite. Dr. Hajo Bruining will be happy to tell you about the options available.

Anti-cellulite treatment with subcision, such as Cellfina

Cellulite, or orange peel skin, refers to the unsightly dimples in the skin. These give a bumpy appearance, particularly to the buttocks and upper legs. Cellulite becomes visible because connective tissue strands pull the skin downwards like tiny strings.
If the volume of fat under the skin increases, for example due to hormonal changes, the appearance can worsen.

Cellulite is also often referred to as cellulitis. Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the subcutaneous tissue. This inflammation is treated with antibiotics. We can treat cellulite in the clinic using the Cellfina technique, which is based on subcision.

What is a Cellulite Treatment?

During cellulite treatment, the connective tissue strands are loosened from the subcutaneous connective tissue. This gives the skin a less bumpy texture.

This anti-cellulite treatment gives the skin a smoother appearance. It also improves blood circulation. Liposuction can also reduce cellulite. Fat excess Fat makes the bumpy skin less visible.

Endermology is a treatment method in which the skin is lifted using a vacuum device. The connective tissue strands are then cut. It is a relatively mild method that must be repeated regularly to treat cellulite to a limited extent.

Treating cellulite with the Cellfina method

Subcision is the cutting of connective tissue strands. There are various manual techniques for cutting these strands. For cellulite treatment, we use the Cellfina method, which is a minimally invasive way to treat cellulite.

With Cellfina®, we have developed a standardized technique to perform manual subcision effectively and with the utmost precision.

Subcision is the only treatment that addresses the structural cause of cellulite. The connective tissue strands that pull the skin down, causing visible dimples on the skin's surface, are loosened. The result: the skin bounces back and the skin's surface becomes smoother.

INFORMATION

Do I have cellulite?

Our doctors can tell you immediately during a consultation whether you have cellulite (not to be confused with cellulitis). You can also assess whether you have this condition yourself using the 'pinch test' or the online cellulite self-test. When assessing your skin, please take the following into account:

1. True cellulite / structural cellulite
The dimples are caused by traction of the connective tissue bands (connective tissue strands) on the skin. The accumulation of fat cells under the skin causes poor blood circulation. If you pinch the skin all around (the pinch test), the dimple becomes deeper.
True cellulite can be treated with subcision. This involves cutting through the connective tissue strands using the Cellfina technique. But beware; lipoedema may also be present.

2. False cellulite
Because the skin is thin and/or the subcutaneous fat structure is coarse, you see an irregular surface.
False cellulite can be treated by improving the skin, for example with the Morpheus8 microneedling technique. However, lipoedema may also be present in this case.

How do you know if you have cellulite?

By examining your skin, you can use the stages of cellulite described below and the 'cellulite pinch test' to check for yourself whether you have cellulite. We have also developed a Cellulite Test to easily answer the question of whether you have cellulite.

The 3 stages of cellulite:

The development of cellulite can be divided into three different stages:
  • Light: as soon as you compress the skin, irregularities become visible.
  • Moderate: as soon as the skin is stretched, the dimples in the skin become visible.
  • Strong: cellulite, or dimples and pits, is always visible; this phase is often accompanied by stretch marks.

Cellulite Treatment

Cellulitis treatment often refers to cellulite treatment.
The difference is that cellulitis is a medical condition, while cellulite refers to the external characteristics on the skin.

What is Cellulite?

Cellulitis is a medical condition in which bacterial infections occur in the skin and subcutaneous connective tissue. These infections can lead to symptoms such as fever, redness, and pain. Cellulitis infections mainly occur on the buttocks and (upper) legs.

Cellulite or cellulitis treatment?

Once the bacterial infection has been treated or if there is no cellulitis, treatment for cellulite or cellulitis can be started to quickly get rid of the symptoms.

Cellulite on the legs, cellulite on the buttocks, cellulite on the stomach, and cellulite on the upper legs

Whether it's cellulite on the legs, buttocks, stomach, or thighs, fortunately there is something you can do about it! For convenience, we use the terms cellulitis and cellulite interchangeably. The goal is to combat the unsightly dimples in the skin, also known as orange peel skin.

Manual subcision technique

Cutting connective tissue strands to treat cellulite has been a popular method for quite some time. The standardized Cellfina technique has been used since 2015 and offers proven results. We have based our successful subcision technique on the Cellfina method. Treat cellulite effectively with our advanced technique for long-lasting results.

During the consultation, you will first have a conversation with one of our medical specialists to discuss your wishes and expectations.

The Cellfina treatment with manual subcision

By examining the buttocks and legs from different angles, as many dimples as possible can be identified. These cellulite areas are marked for subsequent treatment.

The skin is then treated area by area using manual subcision:
  • The skin is prepared
  • Anesthetic fluid is injected
  • Using a small knife, the subcutaneous connective tissue strands are cut very precisely.
  • The result is checked

After treatment

The treated areas will feel a little sore once the (local) anesthetic has worn off after 1-2 hours. Sensitivity, slight discomfort when sitting, and difficulty cycling will have largely disappeared after 1-2 weeks.

Any bruising will have disappeared after 4 weeks in most people. You can engage in any activities that feel comfortable after the treatment. There are no strict restrictions.

No serious side effects have been reported with Cellfina®, a popular anti-cellulite treatment. Here's what you can expect: mild pain, tenderness, and bruising, which disappear quickly.

After three days, patients experience minimal pain, often only when touching or applying pressure to the treated area. This recovers quickly, and almost all patients report no more bruising after four weeks.

This treatment is known for its effectiveness and quick recovery, making it an excellent choice for those who want to reduce cellulite without serious side effects.

Overall, the area treated with Cellfina will look smoother and more even. Dimples, bumps, and grooves will be less visible or disappear.

The anti-cellulite treatment with this innovative Cellfina subcision technique is expected to produce lasting results. We have been treating cellulite with this technique for years and have seen lasting results from this treatment so far.

When I heard about a treatment for permanently removing cellulite, I was eager to try it. After years of using all kinds of firming creams, my dimples (cellulite) were still there.

For years, I had been bothered by one deep dimple on my right thigh, which really bothered me. The dimple was always visible, especially when wearing a dress or shorts. I also had other smaller and shallower dimples.
In short, I was done with it. I wanted smooth, dimple-free legs for the summer. Fortunately, an appointment was quickly made.

The Cellfina treatment wasn't as bad as I had expected. Afterwards, I was quite bruised. After a week, the bruising had mostly disappeared.
I can now see real results after 3 months. The deep dimple is gone from my skin. I can finally wear a skirt again this summer!
