Cellulite Treatment – SRM MedSpa

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is a common cosmetic condition that affects the skin, causing it to have a dimpled or lumpy appearance. It occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin. While cellulite is not harmful, it can be a source of self-consciousness for many people, especially when it appears on the thighs, hips, and buttocks.

Fortunately, with the combination of PRP and microneedling, you can reduce the appearance of cellulite and restore smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

How Does PRP and Microneedling Work for Cellulite Treatment?

Microneedling: Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that help improve skin elasticity and smoothness. The microneedles break up the fibrous bands of tissue that cause the dimpled appearance of cellulite, creating a firmer, more even skin texture.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): PRP is derived from your own blood and is rich in growth factors that accelerate healing, rejuvenation, and collagen production. During treatment, PRP is applied to the microneedled areas, further enhancing the healing process. The combination of microneedling and PRP boosts skin regeneration and helps to tighten the skin, improving the appearance of cellulite.

When combined, PRP and microneedling work synergistically to increase collagen production, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and rejuvenate the skin for smoother, firmer results.

Benefits of Cellulite Treatment with PRP and Microneedling

Non-Surgical: Both PRP and microneedling are minimally invasive procedures, meaning no surgery or downtime is required.
Safe and Natural: PRP uses your body’s own blood, so the treatment is natural and free from synthetic ingredients.
Improves Skin Texture: Stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin smoothness and reducing the dimpled look of cellulite.
No Downtime: Most patients can resume their normal activities right after treatment with minimal recovery time.
Long-Lasting Results: Enjoy lasting improvements as your skin becomes firmer and smoother over time with continued treatments.

Results from Cellulite Treatment with PRP and Microneedling

While you may start to notice improvement in skin texture after just one treatment, optimal results typically become visible after 3 to 4 sessions. As your skin continues to produce collagen and heal, the appearance of cellulite will gradually improve, leaving you with firmer, smoother skin.

Quick answers to questions you may have

How does PRP help with cellulite?

PRP contains growth factors that accelerate collagen production and skin regeneration. When applied during microneedling, PRP enhances healing and promotes smoother, firmer skin, which helps reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Is the treatment painful?

A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. While some patients may experience mild discomfort during the microneedling process, the treatment is generally well-tolerated.

How long does the treatment take?

A typical treatment session lasts around 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. The microneedling process usually takes about 20-30 minutes, and PRP application takes an additional 10-15 minutes.

When will I see results?

While you may notice some improvement after the first treatment, optimal results typically appear after 3 to 4 sessions. Full results can take a few months as your skin continues to produce collagen and regenerate.

Are there any side effects?

Some temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, and mild discomfort may occur following the treatment. These effects usually resolve within a few hours to a day. Serious side effects are rare due to the natural, minimally invasive nature of the treatment.

How Many Treatments Are Needed for Cellulite?

For optimal results, 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart are recommended. The number of treatments will depend on the severity of your cellulite and the results you wish to achieve. After the initial series of treatments, many patients choose to schedule maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months.

Is this treatment safe for all skin types?

Yes, PRP and microneedling are safe for all skin types. Our trained providers will tailor the treatment to your specific needs to ensure the best possible results.

Is there any downtime?

There is minimal downtime after the procedure. You may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area, but most patients can resume their normal activities immediately. Avoid sun exposure and strenuous activity for 24 hours after treatment.

What to Expect During a Cellulite Treatment with PRP and Microneedling

Consultation: Your treatment begins with a consultation where our experienced providers will assess the severity of your cellulite and discuss your aesthetic goals.
Preparation: A topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to minimize any discomfort during microneedling.
Microneedling Treatment: The microneedling device will be used to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the natural healing process and begins the breakdown of cellulite-causing tissue.
PRP Application: Once microneedling is complete, PRP derived from your own blood will be applied to the treated area. The PRP enhances healing, boosts collagen production, and improves skin texture.
Post-Treatment Care: After the treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These side effects typically resolve within a few hours to a day.
