Smooth the lumps, dimples, and stubborn pockets of fat and cellulite that can change how your body looks and feels. At New You Center, we’ll help you understand what’s happening beneath the skin and find a treatment approach that fits your body.
Refine Stubborn Pockets of Fat and Uneven Contours
Body fat is stored beneath your skin in fat cells, and some pockets can be surprisingly resistant to diet and exercise. Cellulite is different: it creates a dimpled or uneven surface when fat cells push upward while fibrous connective bands pull your skin downward. That’s why you can be fit and still have cellulite. It commonly appears on areas like the thighs, hips, buttocks, and abdomen, and factors like genetics, hormones, skin structure, and aging can influence its appearance.
Signs & Symptoms of Excess Fat & Cellulite:
- Stubborn pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise
- Dimpled, puckered, or uneven-looking skin
- A “cottage cheese” or orange-peel-like skin texture
- Bulges that affect the shape of your body contours
- Uneven contours around the thighs, hips, buttocks, or abdomen
- Changes in skin smoothness as elasticity decreases with age
Treatment for Fat & Cellulite
The right approach depends on what’s creating the contour you want to change. During your consultation, we’ll examine the area, discuss your goals, and determine whether stubborn fat, cellulite, laxity, muscle tone, or several factors are involved. Cellulite treatment may include noninvasive or minimally invasive technologies that reduce localized fat, tighten skin, improve contours, or address cellulite. We’ll build a plan tailored to your body, priorities, and desired results.
FAQs
Why Do I Have Stubborn Fat Even if I Exercise?
Your body stores fat according to factors such as genetics, hormones, age, and overall body composition. Even with consistent diet and exercise, certain pockets may remain because you cannot control exactly where your body loses fat.
Does Cellulite Mean I Have Too Much Body Fat?
No. You can be lean and fit and still have cellulite. Its appearance is influenced by the relationship between fat cells, connective tissue, skin structure, and other factors, not simply how much you weigh.
Will One Treatment Address Both Fat and Cellulite?
Not always. Fat reduction and cellulite improvement may require different approaches because they involve different structures beneath your skin.
