Ready to Diminish Cellulite Dimples?

We understand that cellulite is a common concern for many of our patients, especially in areas like the thighs, hips, and buttocks. Cellulite dimples form due to a combination of structural and biological factors beneath the skin. The primary cause is the complex interaction between fat cells and bands of connective tissue called fibrous septae, which anchor the skin to underlying muscles. In areas where cellulite develops, fat pushes upward while these connective bands pull downward, creating the familiar dimpled or lumpy appearance.
 
Several factors contribute to the development of cellulite. Hormonal changes, particularly fluctuations in estrogen, can influence blood flow, fat distribution, and the integrity of connective tissue. Genetics also plays a significant role, as some individuals inherit skin thickness, fat distribution, or connective tissue structure that make them more prone to cellulite. Lifestyle factors—including diet, physical activity, hydration, and smoking—can further impact the appearance of cellulite by weakening connective tissue or increasing fat accumulation.
 
At Pacific Coast Aesthetics, we want our patients to know that cellulite is extremely common and not harmful to their health. However, we also recognize that its appearance can affect confidence and body image. Our expert team offers a variety of advanced, minimally invasive treatments designed to smooth the skin and address the underlying causes of cellulite, helping you achieve a more even, contoured look. If you’re interested in learning more about your options, schedule a consultation with us today.

We offer advanced cellulite treatments designed to help you achieve smoother, more even skin. Cellulite is a common concern that occurs when fat deposits push against connective tissue beneath the skin, creating a dimpled or lumpy appearance. Our expert team targets these underlying causes with the latest, evidence-based therapies to deliver noticeable results.
 
We provide a range of innovative options, including laser therapy, radiofrequency treatments, acoustic wave therapy, and subcision. These state-of-the-art procedures work in different ways to address the structural issues beneath the skin:

• Laser and radiofrequency treatments: These technologies deliver precise energy below the skin’s surface, heating the tissue to stimulate natural collagen production. Enhanced collagen helps thicken and firm the skin, reducing the visibility of cellulite.
• Acoustic wave therapy: Using sound waves, this treatment gently breaks apart the fibrous bands that cause the skin to dimple, leading to a smoother appearance.
• Subcision: This minimally invasive procedure involves using a fine needle to release the tight bands under the skin, allowing the tissue to lift and smooth out.
 
In addition to these in-office solutions, our team can recommend topical creams and massage therapies that may temporarily boost circulation and improve skin texture. While these approaches provide short-term benefits, our advanced procedures are designed for longer-lasting improvements.
 
While no treatment can guarantee complete removal of cellulite, the personalized care can significantly diminish dimpling and unevenness. Our goal is to help you feel confident in your skin by restoring a smoother, firmer appearance.

We understand that cellulite reduction is a priority for many of our clients, and we are committed to offering effective, safe solutions for all skin types. Our practice utilizes advanced, noninvasive technologies—including radiofrequency, ultrasound, and the latest laser treatments—designed to target fat cells and boost collagen production. These methods typically offer excellent results with minimal risk, especially when administered by our skilled and experienced providers.
 
We recognize that each client’s skin is unique. For individuals with darker skin tones, certain older laser devices may have posed risks such as hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. At Pacific Coast Aesthetics, we invest in the latest technology and ongoing staff training to ensure our treatments are safe and effective for diverse skin tones and textures. Our team has extensive experience selecting and utilizing devices that are appropriate for every skin type, helping to minimize potential side effects.
 
In addition to device-based therapies, we offer topical creams and professional massage therapies as part of our cellulite reduction plans. While these options generally carry very low risk, our providers always review potential sensitivities or allergies during your consultation to ensure your comfort and safety.
 
Your wellbeing is our top priority. Before recommending any cellulite reduction treatment, we conduct a thorough assessment to understand your skin type, medical history, and aesthetic goals. This personalized approach allows us to tailor your treatment plan, select the safest and most effective technologies, and deliver natural-looking results with minimal downtime or risk.

We understand that cellulite dimples—commonly described as “orange peel” or “cottage cheese” skin—are a major concern for many of our patients. These uneven, lumpy areas most often appear on the thighs (especially the back and outer parts) and the buttocks, as these regions naturally accumulate more fat and are susceptible to the structural changes that cause cellulite. The abdomen is also a frequent site for cellulite, particularly for women following pregnancy or significant weight changes. Less commonly, cellulite may develop on the upper arms, lower back, or calves.
 
Our expert team at Pacific Coast Aesthetics offers a variety of advanced treatments to target cellulite in these areas and help you achieve smoother, more even skin. Depending on your unique needs, we may recommend state-of-the-art options such as laser therapies, subcision, radiofrequency treatments, or medical-grade topical agents. We take a personalized approach, considering both the location and severity of your cellulite to recommend the most effective solution for you.
