What causes cellulite?

Cellulite is a skin condition characterized by visible lumps and depressions that mar the surface of your skin. It is incredibly common and is not a sign of any dangerous skin health issue. Cellulite is an aesthetic problem, but it can also have a serious negative impact on your self-esteem. 

Fibrous connective tissues lie just beneath the surface of your skin and work to tie your skin to the underlying muscle. A layer of fat cells lies between the skin and muscle, and when that fat presses against the connective tissues, it creates a dimpling effect on the surface of your skin. 

Researchers believe that genetics play a role in cellulite, which explains why even people who are fit and tone can still develop the condition. Women experience cellulite more frequently than men, and the condition often becomes more apparent as you age. 

How does the Profound RF SubQ for cellulite work?

Profound is a treatment platform created by Candela®, an industry leader in medical aesthetics technology. The Profound system works by delivering radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers of your skin using the SubQ handpiece. 

Profound treatments generate heat in the deeper layers of your skin, liquifying targeted fat and softening the connective tissue that creates cellulite. 

Your body perceives this heat as damage and rushes to launch a healing response. Your system creates new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, all working together to plump and smooth skin. 

This plumping effect creates a smoother, more toned skin appearance. Treatments are not painful, and a numbing cream ensures you remain comfortable from start to finish.  

How many Profound RF SubQ for cellulite treatments will I need? 

Research shows that 94% of patients experience marked improvement in cellulite after just one Profound treatment. It takes a few months to see the full results. 

The number of treatments you need depends on various factors, including how much cellulite is present, the size of the treatment area, and how well your body responds to treatment. You can treat multiple areas during the same visit. During your consultation, your practitioner will estimate your treatment timeline.
