Conditions
Cellulite
Cellulite is a common cosmetic concern characterized by the dimpled or lumpy appearance of skin, often resembling orange peel or cottage cheese, typically found on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. It occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin, resulting in a bumpy texture and uneven surface. While cellulite is not harmful to health, it can affect self confidence and body image. Understanding the causes and available treatment options for cellulite is essential for addressing concerns and achieving smoother, firmer skin.
Causes
Acne arises from the interplay of several factors:
- Genetics: Genetic predispositions can influence the distribution of fat deposits, skin thickness, and connective tissue structure, contributing to the development of cellulite.
- Hormonal Factors: Hormonal changes, such as fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone levels, can impact fat distribution, collagen production, and blood flow, increasing the likelihood of cellulite formation.
- Lifestyle Factors: Sedentary lifestyle, poor dietary habits, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption can lead to weight gain, reduced circulation, and decreased skin elasticity, exacerbating the appearance of cellulite.
- Age: As we age, the skin's elasticity and collagen production decline, leading to thinning of the skin and weakened connective tissue, making cellulite more visible.
- Other Factors: Factors such as poor circulation, fluid retention, and stress can contribute to the development and worsening of cellulite
Treatment Approach
Treatment options for cellulite aim to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of dimpling, and enhance overall skin tone and elasticity. Common treatment modalities include:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy involves the extraction and concentration of platelets from the patient's blood, which are then injected into the treatment area to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Our clinic is an official training centre for PRP treatment in London and specializes in PRP treatment equipment, including our specially designed PRP Tubes that are perfect for optimum platelet recovery and offer PRP treatment administered by our GMC-registered doctors, providing safe and effective solutions for cellulite reduction.

The team are always extremely professional and helpful and thoughtful. They always discuss what they’re going to do and why they only do what is necessary never do what’s not necessary and are more concerned about customers being satisfied and looking fantastic after Receiving the service from them. I’ve been having treatments specifically to help my hair grow and they have been extremely helpful and considerate. I also have dark circles under my eyes and I’ve had lumina which has been fantastic the way that they’ve done it. It’s a little bit painful so they give me a ball to hold and I really hold it. It’s just the little extra bits they do that no one else would probably think of. When I was leaving after I had my treatment on my eyes they gave me a card telling me what to do what not to do. They also put stickers on the card to show what I had done reference number of the batch I used. I think this is great, just in case there was some kind of reaction or something like that, which obviously there wasn’t, because they ask many medical questions before hand.
