Cellulite can appear as dimples, ridges, or waves on the thighs and buttocks, affecting anyone regardless of age, body type, or skin type. It's not the same as laxity or crepiness, and it’s a tough issue to tackle.

Subcision-based treatments like Avéli and Cellfina are effective for cellulite dimples but come with bruising and recovery time. Less invasive options like hyper diluted Radiesse or Sculptra injections can help but still fail to treat the entire area. Energy based treatments can treat large areas but often with only temporary effects or mild improvement.

Find out what causes cellulite, what makes it worse, and what options are available to improve it. Learn about past failed treatments, current options, and Dr. Bass's vision for improving future treatments.
