Cellulite Treatments
Cellulite affects over 90% of women at some point in their lives, leading to dimpled skin on areas like the buttocks and thighs. We offer advanced cellulite treatments in Brooklyn, NY, and Long Island, NY to effectively reduce cellulite, helping you achieve smoother skin. While common, it can impact self-confidence. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Olga Zilberstein to see which treatment is right for you.
Cellulite is a common skin concern that causes dimpled, uneven texture, often resembling an orange peel or cottage cheese. It typically appears on the buttocks, thighs, and hips and develops due to a combination of factors, including hormonal changes, genetics, lifestyle, and diet. Over time, if left untreated, cellulite can become more pronounced, much like the natural aging process that continuously progresses.
Fortunately, we have effective solutions to reduce cellulite and restore firmer, smoother skin. Since cellulite forms due to structural changes in collagen, fat accumulation, and poor circulation, the most successful treatments combine multiple modalities—stimulating collagen production, targeting fat deposits, and improving blood flow.
Below are some of the most common and effective cellulite treatments that we have:
- Sculptra Injections:
Sculptra is a collagen bio-stimulator that effectively targets cellulite dimples and skin laxity. By injecting Sculptra directly into affected areas, the treatment stimulates natural collagen production, helping to smooth out dimpled skin, restore lost volume, and enhance skin firmness. Since collagen remodeling takes time, multiple sessions spaced at least one month apart are recommended for optimal, long-lasting results.
- Hyper-Dilute Radiesse Injections:
Hyper-dilute Radiesse is a Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) dermal filler that works as a powerful bio-stimulator when combined with saline or lidocaine. By injecting it directly into cellulite dimples, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, thickens the skin, and improves overall skin texture and elasticity. Patients typically need a few sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve their desired results, with visible improvements often noticeable after just one treatment. - PDO Threads:
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are absorbable sutures commonly used to provide skin tightening, collagen stimulation, and improved elasticity. Inserted in a mesh or lattice pattern beneath the skin, PDO threads act as a structural scaffold, lifting and firming dimpled or sagging areas affected by cellulite. As the body naturally absorbs the threads over time, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in smoother, firmer skin with a more youthful contour. - Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) with RF Micro-Needling:
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a regenerative therapy that uses your body’s own natural growth factors to repair and rebuild damaged skin tissue. When injected into areas affected by cellulite, PRF stimulates collagen production, enhances skin texture, and promotes long-term tissue regeneration. To maximize results, PRF is often combined with RF Micro-Needling—a treatment that uses tiny, energy-emitting needles to penetrate deep into the dermis, break down fibrous cellulite bands, and stimulate collagen and elastin production. Together, PRF and RF Micro-Needling work synergistically to tighten loose skin, smooth out dimples, and create a firmer, more even skin texture.
