Cellulite Treatment - Remove Cellulite Without Surgery

Cellulite affects many of us – regardless of age, body shape or lifestyle. It is a natural occurrence that can, however, often be a source of frustration and insecurity. But you are not alone, as 98% of women have cellulite. We show you effective ways to minimise the appearance of cellulite and promote a sense of strength and beauty from within.

Key Facts About Our Cellulite Treatments

Effective - Efficient - Long-lasting

Treatment Methods at a Glance

HIFU Ultrasound

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound uses focused ultrasound energy to precisely target the deeper layers of the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. The result is firmer skin and a visible reduction in cellulite.

Sculptra®

Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is injected into the affected areas and stimulates collagen production. This leads to smoother, firmer skin in the long term – a natural improvement over an extended period for the body and face.

Morpheus8

Advanced radiofrequency microneedling precisely treats the deeper layers of the skin. Through the combination of RF energy and microneedling, collagen production is stimulated and skin tightening is improved – for smoother skin with reduced cellulite.

BodyTite

Minimally invasive treatment for body tightening and contouring. BodyTite uses radiofrequency energy to heat the lower layers of the skin and melt fatty tissue, whilst simultaneously tightening the skin – without major surgery.

Grades of Cellulite

Cellulite is classified into three different grades:

1

Grade 1

Mild orange-peel skin; dimples are only visible during the pinch test.

2

Grade 2

Dimples are already visible when standing.

3

Grade 3

Pronounced cellulite, with dimples clearly visible both when standing and lying down.

Why Sculptra® Is Among the Best Cellulite Treatments

Our Sculptra® cellulite treatment is not only suitable for any area of the body, but also for the neck and face. It aims to naturally and sustainably improve the appearance of cellulite and smooth out dimples.

In contrast to short-term solutions, Sculptra® focuses on a long-term improvement of skin structure.

Biocompatible

Biological material based on polylactic acid

Long-lasting

Stimulates natural collagen production over months

Natural

Gradual improvement without sudden changes

Where Can Cellulite Occur?

Thighs

The inner thigh is often particularly affected, where the skin is thin

Buttocks

Often superficial or deeper-lying with an uneven texture

Hips

In women, often due to excess fat in this region

Abdomen

In both sexes due to weight gain or hormonal changes

Upper Arms

Common in women with loose, uneven skin

Frequently Asked Questions

Which methods are suitable without surgery?

Depending on the initial findings, HIFU, radiofrequency microneedling (Morpheus8), Sculptra® or BodyTite may be suitable. The aim is improved skin quality and contour. In a personal consultation, we will find the optimal method for your individual situation.

How many sessions are required?

This varies depending on the procedure and the severity of the cellulite. Often several sessions are planned at intervals of a few weeks. Sculptra®, for example, develops its effect gradually over several months. We will advise you individually on your optimal treatment plan.

Is any downtime to be expected?

In most cases, only brief redness or mild swelling is to be expected. Most treatments are non-invasive and allow a quick return to daily activities. Exercise and intense heat (sauna, sunbeds) should be avoided for a few days following medical advice.

How much does a cellulite treatment cost?

Costs vary depending on the chosen method and the extent of the areas to be treated. In general, prices for a cellulite treatment start from €300. In an individual consultation, Dr. Schuhmann will be able to advise you on the exact costs.

How long does a cellulite treatment take?

The duration depends on the chosen method and the extent of the areas to be treated. Some treatments can be carried out in a single session, whilst others require several sessions at intervals of a few weeks. As a rule, a session lasts between 30 minutes and one hour.

Why are at-home cellulite devices problematic?

Home devices often offer limited efficacy compared to professional treatments. Furthermore, the medical expertise required for correct application is lacking, which can lead to skin irritation, bruising or even burns. The long-term costs of devices and accessories can be higher than professional treatments with demonstrably better results.
