What Is Cellulite Reduction?
Cellulite is the term we use to refer to the dimpled, "cottage cheese" texture that sometimes forms around the legs, belly, or buttocks. Since cellulite is caused by the accumulation of fat cells below the skin's surface, this issue is often hard to remove on your own. At TOP ReNu Medicine, our physician-led team offers minimally invasive cellulite reduction treatments, including using cutting-edge shockwave technology, for a visible lessening in the appearance of cellulite. This procedure is effective breaking up areas of fatty tissue with acoustic sound waves, working to produce a smoother look for your skin. If you live in North Aurora or the Greater Chicago, IL area, we invite you to get in touch with our practice to book an appointment, and learn more info about the amazing results you might attain.
How Does Cellulite Reduction Work?
Before treatment, we'll identify and mark the target areas. Our cellulite reduction treatments are noninvasive, aiming to dissolve the fat and fibrous tissues responsible for cellulite. Additionally, most methods stimulate collagen and elastin production, producing firmer skin over time. The appointment typically lasts less than an hour, and patients can resume their daily activities within a day or two after the treatment.

Cellulite Reduction FAQ
Does cellulite go away with weight loss?
Weight loss can sometimes reduce the appearance of cellulite, but it usually doesn't make it disappear completely. Cellulite forms in the layer just beneath the skin, where fat cells push against connective tissues, creating a dimpled look. While losing weight may shrink these fat cells, the structure of the connective tissue remains the same. This is why cellulite can still be visible even after significant weight loss.
How does cellulite form?
Cellulite develops when fat cells in the layer beneath the skin expand and press against fibrous connective tissue. This causes an uneven texture on the skin's surface, resulting in the dimpled look associated with cellulite. Factors like genetics, hormones, and lifestyle can influence its appearance. It's more common in areas with a higher tendency to store fat, such as the thighs, hips, and buttocks.
What does shockwave therapy for cellulite feel like?
Shockwave therapy for cellulite is generally well-tolerated, with most patients describing it as a pulsing or vibrating sensation on the skin. The treatment uses sound waves to stimulate blood flow and collagen production, helping to improve skin firmness over time. Any discomfort is usually minimal, and many patients at TOP ReNu Medicine find it relaxing or similar to a deep tissue massage.
