CELLULITE
Cellulite is the bumpy, uneven look of skin that commonly shows up on areas like the thighs, butt, hips, and belly. It happens when the connective tissue in the skin interacts with the fat underneath. When fat cells push through this tissue, it creates a bumpy or “cottage cheese” look. While cellulite is not medically harmful, it can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals. Factors contributing to cellulite include genetics, hormones, age, and lifestyle. Treatment for cellulite involves improving skin elasticity, stimulating collagen production, and enhancing circulation. Technologies such as radiofrequency (RF) energy are frequently used to target the structural causes beneath the skin’s surface and promote a smoother appearance over time.
Cellulite is a common condition in adult women, but it can affect anyone, no matter their body type or weight. The condition tends to become more visible with age as skin loses firmness and connective tissues weaken. Those seeking cellulite treatment can expect a consultation to determine the best course of action based on skin type and the severity of the condition. Treatments such as Scarlet RF® are usually done in multiple sessions spread out over a few weeks. They involve little discomfort and require minimal recovery time. Most procedures take under an hour, and improvements are seen gradually as collagen builds and skin texture evens out.

CELLULITE FAQS
What causes cellulite to appear more prominently over time?
As we age, our skin loses collagen and flexibility, making cellulite more visible. Hormonal changes, lifestyle factors, and decreased circulation also contribute to the worsening of cellulite over time.
Is Scarlet RF® painful for cellulite treatment?
Many patients say they feel only a little discomfort during the procedure. A cream to numb the area is usually used to help make the treatment more comfortable.
How many Scarlet RF® sessions are needed for cellulite reduction?
Many clients find that 3 to 6 sessions, scheduled about four weeks apart, are helpful. The specific number of sessions needed can vary based on how severe the cellulite is and how the person’s skin reacts.
Can cellulite return after treatment?
While treatments like Scarlet RF® provide long-term improvement, maintenance sessions and a healthy lifestyle help preserve results. Cellulite is a chronic condition and may recur over time without continued care.
Are results for cellulite treatments visible immediately?
Some improvement may be noticed after the first session, but optimal results typically develop over several weeks as collagen production increases and skin becomes firmer.
Who is not a candidate for cellulite treatment with Scarlet RF®?
Individuals who are pregnant, have metal implants in the treatment area or have certain medical conditions may not be suitable candidates. A consultation is required to evaluate eligibility.
Does weight loss completely get rid of cellulite?
Losing weight can help make cellulite look less noticeable by reducing the fat under the skin, but it doesn’t completely get rid of it. Even individuals with low body fat may still experience cellulite due to the structure of connective tissue and skin. A combination of targeted treatments and healthy lifestyle choices often provides the best outcome.
Can men develop cellulite, or is it only a concern for women?
Cellulite is mainly found in women because of how fat is arranged in their bodies, their connective tissue, and hormonal differences. However, men can also get cellulite. In men, cellulite tends to appear less frequently and usually in different patterns, but it can still be treated with the same technologies used for female patients.
What areas of the body can be treated for cellulite with Scarlet RF®?
Scarlet RF® can be used to treat cellulite in multiple areas of the body, including the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, upper arms, and even knees. During a consultation, the provider will evaluate your condition and suggest particular areas to focus on for the best visible results.
Can lifestyle changes enhance the results of professional cellulite treatments?
Lifestyle choices play an important role in supporting the results of professional cellulite treatments. Staying hydrated, maintaining a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, engaging in regular physical activity, and avoiding smoking can help improve skin quality and circulation. While these habits won’t eliminate cellulite on their own, they can enhance and prolong the effects of treatments like Scarlet RF®.
