Cellulite is a problem that affects 85% – 95% of British women of all ages, shapes and sizes including those who are very slim, and every year in the UK we spend millions of pounds on creams and gels trying to get rid of those stubborn dimpled, fatty deposits. Cellulite can make some women feel very self-conscious, particularly in summer when long skirts and trousers just aren’t comfortable, and it is very frustrating when even the strictest of diets don’t seem to help.
Also known as orange peel skin, cellulite is a localised skin condition that causes the skin to appear dimpled and uneven. The change in skin texture is caused by both expanding fat cells that sit underneath the skin and the fibrous bands that run perpendicular to the surface of the skin.
Fibrous bands or tissue cords anchor the skin to the muscle and these can shrink and become shorter due to fat cells pushing against them. This can then cause them to pull the skin inwards causing a dimpled affect on the outer layer of skin and the fat cells can push up against the skin causing a rippling affect.
The cellulite grading system known as the ‘Nurnberger-Muller Scale’ classifies cellulite into different levels of severity.
| Grades | Description |
|---|---|
Grade 1 | No dimpling when pressure is applied |
Grade 2 | Dimpling when pressure is applied |
Grade 3 | Visible dimpling when standing |
Grade 4 | Visible dimpling when standing and lying down |

- Weight gain or loss
- Hormone changes throughout life, such as pregnancy and menopause
- Loss of tone and elasticity due to ageing

Cellulite Treatment
Mesotherapy for Cellulite Reduction
Mesotherapy can be a really effective treatment for reducing the appearance of cellulite. The treatment involves injecting a cocktail of natural extracts into the area being treated. The solution prevents cells from storing fat by increasing local metabolic rate, and this in turn breaks down existing fat cells as well as boosting the production of collagen and elastin.
Mesotherapy takes around 30-60 minutes to complete and a course of treatment will be required.

Body Ballancer for Cellulite Reduction
Body Ballancer is an aesthetic compression treatment that uses inflating compression garments that when worn, simulate a gentle to film massage targeting the entire treatment area.
A course of Body Ballancer treatment can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite by boosting circulation and bringing healthy oxygenated blood to the areas being treated. That combined with the massage action can help to effectively breakdown the build-up reducing the appearance of cellulite.
Body Ballancer treatment for cellulite takes around 1 hour to perform and a course of treatment will be recommended.
