Is dimpled or uneven skin on your thighs, buttocks, or abdomen affecting your confidence? Cellulite is incredibly common, especially among women, and often resists diet and exercise. That doesn’t mean you have to sit back and accept it, though.
At Hamptons Plastic Surgery, Dr. Tracy Pfeifer offers non-surgical treatments that smooth and firm your skin. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Pfeifer understands the frustration of cellulite and provides personalized services to help you look and feel your best.
What Causes Cellulite?
Cellulite occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin and create a lumpy or puckered appearance. Factors that can contribute include:
- Hormones: Estrogen and insulin fluctuations can influence fat storage.
- Genetics: Family history affects skin structure and fat distribution.
- Lifestyle: Poor circulation, inactivity, and diet can all make cellulite more visible.
It’s important to note that cellulite affects people of all shapes and sizes. It isn't solely linked to weight or body fat percentage.
Treatment Options for Cellulite Reduction
Dr. Pfeifer offers personalized cellulite treatment plans using the latest non-surgical technologies. These options often include:
- Radiofrequency-based devices: Deliver heat energy to the deeper layers of skin, encouraging collagen remodeling and fat breakdown.
- Mechanical massage systems: Enhance circulation and lymphatic drainage, thereby improving the skin’s texture.
- Subcision techniques: Release the fibrous bands causing dimpling.
- Laser-assisted therapies: Liquefy fat and stimulate skin tightening simultaneously.
- Combination therapies: Address different layers of cellulite and enhance overall results.
These services are performed in-office with minimal downtime, making them ideal for busy patients. Dr. Pfeifer tailors each plan to your skin type, targeted area, and aesthetic goals for the most effective outcome. She may recommend maintenance sessions as well to preserve your results.
Cellulite Treatment Candidates
You might benefit from cellulite treatment if you:
- Are in generally good health and near your target weight.
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome.
- Desire smoother, more even skin without surgery.
Dr. Pfeifer will evaluate your goals and recommend the most appropriate option during your consultation.
How to Maintain Cellulite Treatment Results
To prolong the benefits of your cellulite treatment, consistency in lifestyle habits is key. The following practices support circulation and skin health:
- Maintain a balanced diet rich in antioxidants.
- Stay hydrated.
- Engage in regular exercise.
It’s also important to avoid smoking, which can degrade collagen and worsen skin texture. Compression garments may also reduce fluid retention and improve body contours.
