Cellulite
Cellulite is a common aesthetic condition that affects many people, especially women. It manifests as a dimpled and flabby appearance of the skin, similar to orange peel. While cellulite and overweight are often associated, as are cellulite and thighs, the condition can affect anyone and various parts of the body, regardless of weight.
Individuals dealing with cellulite management, whether on the thighs, buttocks, or other areas, can find accurate information and advice on available treatment options here. At Victoria Park Medispa, a qualified team specializing in treating this condition is available, understanding the aesthetic challenges it poses.
Effective and personalized solutions exist to help patients improve their appearance and regain confidence.
What causes cellulite?
Cellulite is a complex aesthetic condition that can take several forms and has multifactorial causes.
In young women and athletes, hard, compact cellulite anchored in the tissues is generally observed, while soft cellulite more frequently affects sedentary women between 30 and 40 years old, with loose skin.
Hydropic cellulite is characterized by significant water retention, giving a swollen appearance, and is common in young women with poor lymphatic circulation. Finally, sclerotic cellulite, deeper and more painful, mainly affects overweight individuals. Hormonal changes, such as those during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause, play a determining role in the appearance of these different forms.
Other influential factors, such as trauma, an unbalanced diet, and lack of exercise, can all contribute to altering the structure of subcutaneous tissues, thereby increasing the dimpled appearance of the skin.
All these factors can lead to changes in the structure of the fat layer beneath the skin, water retention, and accumulation of adipose tissue. Fat cells are lodged in “chambers” bounded by connective tissues, and when they swell, they pull on the skin, creating this dimpled appearance.
The temporal evolution of cellulite can vary. Some people may notice a link between aging and cellulite, while others see improvement with age.
However, cellulite tends to persist unless it is very mild.
Finally, although cellulite is rarely associated with the face, variants such as periorbital cellulite can also develop around the eyes, affecting the aesthetics and health of this delicate area.
Understanding its specific causes is therefore crucial for choosing effective cellulite treatment options.
Developing a personalized care plan with a medical-aesthetic health specialist at Victoria Park Medispa can significantly improve the appearance of the skin and thus address the aesthetic issues of cellulite.

Innovative treatments
against cellulite
There are several approaches to treating cellulite, ranging from non-invasive options to medical and surgical procedures. Unfortunately, it is important to be aware that there is no miracle solution or perfect treatment for addressing cellulite. Non-invasive body contouring methods include lifestyle changes and medical-aesthetic treatments aimed at improving blood circulation, reducing water retention, and strengthening connective tissues. Medical procedures such as Body Fx and Morpheus 8 treatments are used by health professionals at Victoria Park Medispa to specifically target areas affected by cellulite. By using advanced technologies, collagen production is stimulated to reduce fat and smooth the skin. During a BodyFX treatment session, radiofrequency pulses heat the skin and fat while suction smooths them. After local anesthesia, the Cellfina treatment uses micro-needles to precisely treat fat pockets, while Morpheus8 combines micro-needles with radiofrequencies directly into the subcutaneous tissues to stimulate collagen and elastin production. In endermology, a device massages the skin to sculpt and tone. In summary, sessions of these medical procedures allow for non-invasive body contouring and are generally painless.
As for surgical procedures such as liposuction, they can also help remove subcutaneous fat deposits, but they carry risks and require a longer recovery period. In all cases, the key is to personalize the treatment according to individual needs. Factors such as age, overall health, and the severity of cellulite must be taken into account to achieve the best results. Usually, patients see a gradual improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

Recommendations before
and after treatments
Before each treatment, it is essential for patients to participate in a thorough preliminary consultation with a health professional at Victoria Park Medispa. This crucial step allows for discussion of medical history, expectations, and appropriate treatment options for their situation, and tailoring the care to their specific needs. After treatment, it is equally important to carefully follow the instructions provided by the medical team, which may include taking medication or temporarily stopping certain activities to maximize results and minimize risks. Open and ongoing communication between each individual and the doctors ensures optimal follow-up and the smooth progress of each treatment, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of care and overall patient satisfaction.
Regarding the BodyFX treatment, no recovery time is necessary. Patients can resume their usual activities immediately after each session, although some may experience slight redness and targeted warmth. For Cellfina, the recommended rest time is generally only a few hours. It should be noted that bruising and/or minor pain that disappear quickly may still occur in the treated areas. After the Morpheus8 treatment, patients can resume activities immediately, although slight redness and swelling may occur in some cases. However, specifically for this treatment, it is recommended to avoid physical exercise, spas/saunas, hot showers, sun exposure, and the use of products containing active ingredients for at least 72 hours.
In summary
Cellulite results from hormonal factors, poor blood circulation, an unbalanced diet, and loosening of connective tissues under the skin.

The number of sessions varies depending on the chosen treatment and the severity of cellulite, but generally, between 4 and 6 sessions are needed for optimal results.

Treating bothersome aesthetic conditions to feel better
Aesthetic issues such as cellulite, which can create an orange peel appearance and lead to physical discomfort, are sources of concern for many people. However, cellulite is just one of the factors that can affect the appearance of the skin. Melasma, characterized by dark pigmented spots often caused by sun exposure or hormonal changes, can also alter the appearance of the complexion.

At Victoria Park Medispa, innovative and minimally invasive treatments are available to address these concerns. Through an individualized approach that incorporates cutting-edge technologies, it is possible to achieve satisfying and long-lasting results for smoother, firmer skin and a more even complexion.
These treatments thus allow for increased well-being and feeling better in one’s skin, regardless of the type of aesthetic issue.
