Cellulite Treatment
Is Cellulite Common?
Yes. According to Medical News Today, between 80-90% of women will develop some degree of cellulite in their buttocks, thighs, or other areas.
If you feel like you are the only person who is bothered by cellulite, don't be. A recent Harris Poll shows that nearly 50% of women start feeling self-conscious about cellulite:
- While looking in a mirror: 65%
- While at the beach or pool: 54%
- During swimsuit season: 46%
Contacting Dr. Suzanne Yee at her state-of-the-art cosmetic surgical practice in Little Rock, AR, is the first step to reducing the effects of cellulite so you can improve your appearance and boost your self-confidence.
Do Only Older or Overweight Women Have Cellulite?
No. Cellulite is a biological condition that is resistant to working out or dieting. So, even younger women who watch what they eat and exercise regularly can still develop cellulite.
However, exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy diet can make cellulite less noticeable because your overall body fat percentage is reduced. Cellulite isn't made of fat, but a more muscular and toned physique can camouflage the cellulite that's affected by fat under your skin.
What Causes Cellulite?
If cellulite isn't caused by diet or lack of exercise, what causes it? Many factors, such as genetics, hormonal changes, and body composition, can affect how much cellulite you have, but the actual cause of cellulite comes down to three factors:

Having cellulite does not affect your overall health, but it can affect how you look and cause low self-esteem. Treatment from Dr. Yee at her luxurious Little Rock, AR, surgical practice can achieve the following benefits:
Smoother Skin
Treatment can reduce the dimples caused by cellulite, creating a smoother, less aged appearance.
Improved Blood Flow
Cellulite treatments can increase blood flow to affected areas, flushing away excess fluids trapped by fat cells.
More Skin Elasticity
Once fat cells are removed, your skin should tighten, making your butt and thighs look more youthful and toned.
Greater Confidence
Smooth, firmer-looking thigh, butt, and tummy skin may make you more confident in wearing a swimsuit at the pool or beach.

Candidates For Cellulite Treatment
If you have cellulite concerns that you'd like to fix, our office can help walk you through the process. A wide variety of candidates qualify for this treatment, but certain factors may exclude patients or make treatment less effective.
Average Weight
Cellulite treatment works best for patients that are at an average weight. Cellulite treatment is not a weight loss procedure, and its effects are not as dramatic and long-lasting on patients with a high percentage of body fat. In contrast, weight loss procedures, like liposuction, are not a substitute for cellulite treatments.
Good Overall Health
Our cellulite treatments are most effective when patients are overall healthy. If you have underlying conditions that affect your circulatory system, such as diabetes, the procedure may not be as effective for you. Also, all skin wounds and infections should be healed prior to treatment.
Realistic Expectations
It's important to have realistic expectations when beginning your cellulite treatment plan. Results will vary from person to person, so we encourage our patients to enter treatment with realistic expectations. Patience with the process is also vital since several sessions are needed to see results.
Cellulite Not Laxity
Our treatments are designed to target moderate to severe cellulite. These are the dimples in your skin that can be seen at any adult age. Our treatments do not address laxity or looseness in the skin that can occur from age, collagen loss, and other factors.

Can Minimally and Noninvasive Treatments Reduce Cellulite?
/
Yes! Lasers, radiofrequency, and massage techniques have been used to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Our Little Rock office offers several noninvasive treatments that work better than any over-the-counter cellulite removal medication you may find.
Types of Cellulite Procedures
Dr. Yee offers extremely effective cellulite treatments that can achieve desired skin tightening results on the thighs, hips, and other areas of the body. Dr. Yee can discuss which treatment is best for you during your cellulite consultation.
Cellfina®
This non-invasive treatment is used to sever the fibrous tissues that cause dimpling using a suctioning device. There is very little pain or discomfort to the patient.
Venus Freeze™
Radiofrequency from laser technology is used to heat the layers beneath your abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, tightening the connective tissue known as collagen and encouraging it to grow. This smooths and firms loose, dimpled skin.
Thermage®
Thermage also uses heat energy from laser technology to stimulate collagen in the deepest layers of your skin, resulting in smoother, tighter-looking skin.

View on GoogleMaintain Your Results With At-Home Treatments
The results from cellulite procedures last patients, on average, a year or more. While no lifestyle changes can specifically tackle the pattern cellulite naturally creates, they can help you tone and smooth your skin to minimize the look of cellulite on your body. Extend the life of your cellulite treatments by caring for your skin and targeting the look of cellulite with the following lifestyle changes:
Exercise can help build your muscle composition and lower your body fat percentage. As your muscles are toned from consistent exercise, the look of cellulite is minimized. Exercise does not fully remove cellulite but, combined with our procedures, it can help the overall look and feel of your body.
Dry brushing is a technique that helps stimulate blood flow and rid the skin of dead skin cells. This technique can help the skin appear firmer and feel smoother, distracting from cellulite. Brush in an upward motion from toe to neck and move in circular motions over target areas for 5-10 minutes a day.
Like dry brushing, exfoliating the skin can help remove dead skin cells to promote new cell growth. This process can lead to tighter, firmer skin. Coffee grounds are a popular, natural way to exfoliate the skin with a product you likely already own. Mix the grounds with oil and rub on the area you want to target.
Speaking of coffee, avoid dehydrating products like coffee and alcohol to promote hydration. Drinking plenty of water is a great way to keep your skin hydrated. This hydration can not only help you maintain a healthy weight but can also help you keep your connective tissues strong to reduce the look of cellulite.
Affordable Financing is Available
Although all plans are different, most plans will not cover cosmetic procedures like cellulite reduction. That's why Dr. Yee accepts financing so you can better afford treatments that help you look and feel your best.
CareCredit® is a trusted financing company that breaks down out-of-pocket costs into low-interest, monthly payment plans that work within your budget.
