If there’s one topic that has taken over the headlines of the Internet, it’s none other than the diet and exercise programs that promise to fight cellulite. Unfortunately, we have bad news for you. Although weight loss, careful dietary choices, and exercise will improve your overall health, what they won’t improve is the cellulite on your legs and buttocks. The uneven texture, the dimples in the skin, or the well-known orange peel appearance on the buttocks is an issue that almost every woman faces, even if she is in an extremely good shape. However, the fact that cellulite on the buttocks is so widespread does not mean that you have to endure it indefinitely. If cellulite makes you feel insecure or discourages you from showing off your body at the beach in the summer, then you’re in the right place.
So what is cellulite on the buttocks?
The term cellulite (medically known as female lipodystrophy) originated in the 1920s and essentially describes a disorder of the subcutaneous tissue that affects the appearance and texture of the skin, creating the characteristic dimpled appearance. It is essentially the presence of trapped fat beneath the skin’s surface, between fibrous connective tissue. Cellulite appears more frequently in areas where fat tends to accumulate more easily, such as the buttocks and thighs. Therefore, buttock cellulite is a disorder of the subcutaneous tissue that creates the characteristic orange peel appearance in the buttock area.
Cellulite is caused by the abnormal accumulation of fat cells under the skin, resulting in disruption of the normal structure of connective tissue. Cellulite can appear on the buttocks for many reasons, including:
- Heredity
- Lack of physical activity, since weak muscles are unable to support the overlying tissues
- Fluid and toxin retention in the body
- Dehydration
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Weak structure of collagen
- Consumption of unhealthy foods such as salty snacks and sweets
- Smoking, which affects the connective tissues
- Stress and lack of sleep
- Sitting for prolonged periods of time
- Excessive body weight
- Aging, which results in loss of collagen and elastin.
How is cellulite on the buttocks treated?
Before we talk about how to treat cellulite on the buttocks, it’s important to mention how it is not treated. As we mentioned before, even the strictest diets or the most intense workout programs will not bring significant improvement. Similarly, creams and gels that promise overnight cellulite improvement deliver poor results. This happens because cellulite is essentially an issue that lies deep within the subcutaneous tissues and is by no means superficial. Therefore, creams and gels that act on and penetrate the surface of the skin cannot reach or target the root of the problem. Now, let’s take a look at the best ways to combat this annoying orange peel appearance.
Cellulite treatment via injectable mesotherapy
Injectable mesotherapy is a modern, non-invasive solution for cellulite treatment on the buttocks. It involves the use of a special mesotherapy solution, which helps restore the structure of the fatty tissue and balance cellular functions. The procedure is performed with the help of a very fine needle and lasts slightly longer than facial treatments, due to the larger treatment area.
For optimal results, 8-12 sessions are recommended, spaced one week apart. Improvements in skin texture are noticeable from the very first session and the results are long-lasting. Furthermore, the method is painless and requires no recovery time, allowing for an immediate return to daily activities.
Benefits of injectable mesotherapy
- Effective elimination of cellulite, as the treatment acts at the root of the problem.
- Improvement of skin texture and firmness
- Long-term results, which are maintained through periodic maintenance sessions.
- No recovery time, making it an ideal choice for people with busy lives.
Trio X9 iShape, an ideal treatment for cellulite on the buttocks
Trio X9 iShape is a groundbreaking technology that combines four advanced methods for body firming and the treatment of cellulite and localized fat:
- Cavitation & ultrasound for the breakdown of adipose tissue.
- Tripolar radiofrequency (RF) for skin tightening and remodeling. Tripolar and bipolar radiofrequency (RF) technology helps stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin tightening and combating cellulite. The thermal energy produced through radiofrequency helps remodel the skin, providing a more sculpted and smooth appearance.
- LED K Vacuum RF to enhance blood circulation and improve the appearance of the skin.
The treatment lasts approximately 30-45 minutes per session and does not cause pain or discomfort. Depending on the extent of the problem, 6-8 sessions, once a week, are recommended for optimal results.
Application of specialised hyaluronic acid suitable for the body to improve the appearance of the skin
Although hyaluronic acid fillers are widely known for their use in facial aesthetic treatments, the treatment can also be applied to the body to improve contouring and correct imperfections.
The use of specialized body hyaluronic acid helps restore lost volume, corrects imperfections and scars, and provides a smoother and more youthful appearance.
The application of hyaluronic acid to treat severe skin texture irregularities on the buttocks is performed in a non-invasive manner, with no pain or side effects.
The results are immediately visible and continue to improve over the following months, lasting for up to two years.
Generally, cellulite on the buttocks is an aesthetic problem that concerns many women and men. However, thanks to modern treatment options, there is now light at the end of the tunnel. Plastic Surgeon in Athens, Dr. Maria Skolarikou, applies the most modern cellulite treatments for impressive and long-lasting results. With the right treatments and consistency in body care, cellulite can be significantly reduced, which means you will now be able to enjoy smoother, firmer and younger-looking skin.
