Exilis
Exilis is a non-invasive, scientifically proven treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deep layers of the skin. Metabolic activity is increased, shrinking fat cells and stimulating the skin’s collagen network to tighten the treatment area. This can dramatically improve the appearance of cellulite.
The benefits from Exilis come over a series of three to six comfortable treatments. No downtime is required, and the results are long-lasting.

Cellulaze
We very rarely recommend Cellulaze anymore, not because it doesn’t provide amazing results – it does! But, is has a long, intense recovery and newer treatments offer the same results without recovery or with much reduced recovery.
Cellulaze is a trailblazing laser treatment that attacks cellulite at its source, smoothing out bulging pockets of fat and increasing the skin’s natural thickness, which helps to eliminate the peaks and valleys that are the hallmarks of cellulite. Studies have shown that Cellulaze can increase the thickness of your skin by 25% and the elasticity of your skin by 29%, two major factors in reducing the appearance of cellulite.1,2
Cellulaze is backed by multiple years of clinical research and is the only minimally invasive procedure available for improving the appearance of cellulite in a single treatment. In less than 90 minutes, your skin will look smoother and healthier – we’re confident you’ll love the results!

Treatments We Don’t Recommend Anymore for Cellulite
Velashape
VelaShape is the leading noninvasive technology for treating cellulite. It features the unique combination of infrared light energy, radiofrequency energy, and actual kneading of the tissue. The combined heat energy delivered to the skin penetrates deeply enough to reduce thigh and buttock circumference and improve skin surface irregularities. It also improves lymphatic drainage. After VelaShape treatment, patients appear to have lost weight because the entire area is re-contoured.
VelaShape is usually administered in a series of six weekly treatments, but after even one treatment the skin surface of the treated area will feel smoother, firmer, and tighter. Reduction of thigh circumference and cellulite reduction will be most apparent six to eight weeks following the final treatment.
VelaShape requires no downtime and is effective on all skin types and colors.
Thermage
Thermage is a noninvasive laser treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat fat deposits beneath the skin. It smooths, tightens, and contours the body and requires no downtime. Because it eliminates unwanted superficial fat, Thermage improves the appearance of cellulite.
Measurable tightening and contouring improvements appear gradually over a two to six-month time period following a single treatment session. A Thermage treatment takes less than an hour, and is very safe. Your skin will feel tighter, smoother, and more youthful, and the effects will last for years.
Our patients love this treatment and describe it as being painless, and even pleasant.

Read MoreFrequently Asked Questions About Cellulite
- What causes cellulite?
Cellulite happens when underlying fat begins to push through the layers of collagen fibers in the skin. These collagen fibers pull the skin down in certain areas, causing the telltale dimples we recognize as cellulite.
- Can I treat cellulite naturally?
There are a lot of products and at-home methods that promise to reduce cellulite. Although there are some steps you can take (like maintaining a healthy lifestyle), most patients find that professional treatments are the most effective way to reduce cellulite.
- Do only women get cellulite?
The female body can have less supportive connective tissue when it comes to holding fat on areas like the hips and thighs. This contributes to the appearance of cellulite. However, men can and do experience cellulite (some estimates state this can be around 10% of men).
- Why do I have cellulite if I'm In shape?
Cellulite can happen to anyone. In fact, it’s believed that there’s a genetic component to cellulite that causes it to occur even in people that are otherwise slim. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can certainly help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
- What will cure my cellulite?
There are plenty of unscientific claims out there about what can clear up cellulite. The best way to learn about your best options is by speaking with our cosmetic physicians about what treatment options will work best for you.
- Can I burn off cellulite?
With a healthy lifestyle, you can gradually burn off fat which can reduce the appearance of cellulite. Cellulite won’t respond on its own, rather, you can treat the underlying causes by reducing fat and undergoing professional treatments.
