Cellulite is a skin condition that affects up to 80% of all women and is caused by fat cells underneath the skin. It's often most visible on the hips, thighs, and buttocks, but cellulite can appear anywhere with excess fat or fluid deposits.

Cellulite typically appears with age, and it's more common in overweight (especially those with an apple shape) or has a family history of cellulite. The condition is not life-threatening, and it doesn't cause any health problems. Nevertheless, skinny people can experience this ailment often too. A series of treatments may help reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Cellulite Causes and Risk Factors
A combination of factors causes cellulite. The main ones are:

•	Cellulite is caused by fat that has collected in the spaces between the skin cells. This causes dimpling and makes the skin appear lumpy.
•	Cellulite occurs when fatty tissue is trapped under the skin and doesn't drain properly, causing it to become rigid and crinkly (lumpy).
•	Hormonal factors may also play a role in cellulite formation.

Tips on How to Get Rid of Cellulite or Avoid Its Formation

•	Eat a healthy diet: Eating a balanced diet is best to keep cellulite at bay.
•	Drink more eater: It keeps you hydrated and encourages circulation and lymphatic flow.
•	Exercise regularly: Exercise helps reduce body fat, which helps prevent cellulite.
•	Avoid smoking: Smoking increases the risk of developing cellulite.
•	Wear loose-fitting clothes and avoid tight clothing that causes your skin to wrinkle or crease.

Radiofrequency Cellulite Improvement Treatment: How Does It Work?

Radiofrequency cellulite improvement treatment uses RF energy to heat and stimulate the skin. The RF energy heats the skin, which causes muscles in the skin to contract and flatten.

Radiofrequency cellulite treatment is non-invasive and is performed in a medical spa or clinic. This treatment can be used on both men and women.

The treatment takes approximately 30 minutes, and you will return to normal activities immediately after the procedure. You may experience some redness or swelling in your treated areas for up to 24 hours after the treatment.

After the procedure, you will apply cool compresses to soothe your treated areas for one to two days. You can apply these compresses yourself or ask your doctor or esthetician at Medspa to assist you with this process.

To get the best results, it is recommended to get at least 3-6 sessions. The effect will last up to 6 months, but some patients see the results even in one year.
