Understanding & Treating Cellulite & Stubborn Fat

Fat Deposits & Skin Structure

Cellulite and stubborn fat occur when fat deposits push against connective tissue beneath the skin, creating dimpled, uneven skin texture. This issue is more common in areas such as the thighs, buttocks, stomach, and arms.

Hormonal & Genetic Influences

Hormones like estrogen, insulin, and cortisol play a significant role in the development of cellulite and fat retention. Women, in particular, are more prone to cellulite due to higher estrogen levels, which affect how fat is stored and distributed.

Poor Circulation & Lifestyle Factors

A sedentary lifestyle, poor circulation, and fluid retention can make cellulite appear more pronounced. Factors like dehydration, lack of muscle tone, and excessive processed foods contribute to weaker connective tissue, making fat deposits more noticeable on the skin’s surface.

Cellulite and stubborn fat are not necessarily tied to body weight—even individuals at a healthy weight can struggle with pockets of fat and uneven skin texture. These fat cells are often resistant to diet and exercise, requiring targeted treatments to break down fat deposits and tighten skin.

At Image Clinic, we specialize in advanced body contouring and skin-firming treatments that reduce cellulite, smooth skin texture, and eliminate stubborn fat to help patients achieve a toned, sculpted appearance.

What Is Cellulite & Stubborn Fat?

Types of Cellulite & Fat Deposits

Cellulite appears in different grades depending on its severity and visibility:

-Grade 1 (Mild Cellulite) – Minimal dimpling, only noticeable when pinching the skin.

-Grade 2 (Moderate Cellulite) – More visible dimpling, especially when sitting or crossing legs.

-Grade 3 (Severe Cellulite) – Deep, pronounced dimples and uneven skin texture, noticeable at all times.

Stubborn fat accumulates in specific areas of the body, including:

✔ Thighs & Buttocks – Common areas for cellulite due to fat distribution and connective tissue structure.

✔ Abdomen & Love Handles – Resistant to weight loss, often requiring targeted fat-reduction treatments.

✔ Upper Arms & Back Fat – Sagging skin and stubborn fat create unwanted bulges.

✔ Knees & Calves – Hard-to-target areas that may develop fat pockets over time.

No matter where cellulite or fat deposits appear, non-invasive treatments can help break down fat cells and tighten skin for a smoother, firmer look.
