Key Takeaways
- Cellulite can be influenced by skin thickness, collagen loss, laxity, and connective tissue.
- Genius RF, Hyperdilute Radiesse, and Sculptra address different aspects of cellulite.
- Treatments may be used alone or combined in a customized plan.
- Results develop gradually as collagen production increases.
- The practice no longer offers Cellulaze.
What Causes Cellulite?
Cellulite forms when fat beneath the skin pushes upward while connective bands pull downward. This creates the dimpled or uneven appearance commonly called “orange-peel” skin.
Several factors can make cellulite more noticeable, including:
- Genetics
- Hormonal changes
- Loss of collagen
- Thin or crepey skin
- Skin laxity
- Changes in body composition
- Age-related changes in skin quality
Cellulite can affect people of many ages and body types. It is not necessarily related to weight or fitness.
Because cellulite can involve multiple layers of tissue, one treatment may not address every concern. Some patients need firmer skin, while others benefit more from improved collagen support, enhanced volume, or smoother contour.

Which Cellulite Treatment May Be Right for You?
| Treatment | May be considered for | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Genius RF microneedling | Skin laxity, uneven texture, and visible dimpling | Delivers radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin remodeling |
| Hyperdilute Radiesse | Thin, crepey, or weakened skin | Stimulates collagen and elastin to help strengthen and thicken the dermis |
| Sculptra | Buttock cellulite combined with volume loss or contour concerns | Gradually stimulates collagen while supporting shape and volume |
| Combination treatment | Cellulite caused by more than one contributing factor | Addresses skin quality, firmness, volume, and contour through a customized plan |
Cellulite Treatments at Laser & Cosmetic Surgery Specialists
Genius RF Microneedling for Cellulite
Genius RF combines microneedling with controlled radiofrequency energy. During treatment, tiny needles deliver energy beneath the surface of the skin.
This controlled process stimulates the body’s natural repair response and encourages the production of collagen and elastin.
Genius RF may help improve:
- Skin firmness
- Mild skin laxity
- Uneven texture
- Thin or weakened skin
- The visibility of cellulite dimpling
The exact treatment area and settings are selected according to your skin quality, anatomy, and treatment goals.
What to expect
Treatment generally takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area. Topical anesthetic may be applied before treatment to improve comfort. Afterward, patients may experience temporary:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Sensitivity
- Mild tenderness
Most patients can return to their normal routine after treatment. Strenuous exercise should generally be avoided for approximately 24 hours.
Treatments may be repeated every four to eight weeks. The number of sessions needed varies based on the condition of the skin and the desired improvement. Results develop gradually as collagen remodeling continues over the following weeks and months.

Hyperdilute Radiesse for Skin Firmness and Texture
Hyperdilute Radiesse is an injectable treatment used to improve skin quality rather than simply add volume.
Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres. When diluted with saline and anesthetic, it can be distributed beneath the skin to stimulate new collagen and elastin production.
Hyperdilute Radiesse may help:
- Thicken the dermis
- Improve skin firmness
- Strengthen thin or crepey skin
- Improve elasticity
- Smooth uneven texture
- Reduce the visibility of contour irregularities
For cellulite patients, Hyperdilute Radiesse may be especially useful when thin or weakened skin makes dimpling more visible.
Treatment schedule
Most patients receive an initial series of:
- Two to three treatments
- Spaced approximately eight to 12 weeks apart
- Followed by maintenance approximately every 12 to 18 months, when appropriate
Results do not appear immediately. The skin gradually improves as the body produces new collagen and elastin.
Recovery
Downtime is usually minimal. Temporary side effects may include:
- Bruising
- Redness
- Swelling
- Tenderness at the injection sites
Most patients can return to normal activities immediately. High-intensity exercise should generally be avoided for 24 hours.
Hyperdilute Radiesse for collagen stimulation is an off-label use of an FDA-approved injectable filler.
Sculptra for Buttock Cellulite and Contour
Sculptra may be recommended when cellulite on the buttocks is accompanied by volume loss, flattened contours, or reduced skin support.
Sculptra is made with poly-L-lactic acid, a biostimulant that encourages the body to produce collagen over time.
Unlike a traditional filler that creates an immediate change, Sculptra produces gradual improvement.
Sculptra may help:
- Add subtle buttock volume
- Improve shape and contour
- Support firmer-looking skin
- Improve skin texture
- Soften the appearance of cellulite in selected patients
Sculptra is not appropriate for every type of cellulite. It is primarily considered when buttock shape, volume, and collagen support are also part of the patient’s concerns.
Treatment schedule
Patients commonly receive:
- Two to three treatment sessions
- Spaced approximately six weeks apart
- A personalized amount of product based on anatomy and goals
Changes become more visible as collagen production develops over several months.
Most patients can return to normal activities after treatment. Temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness may occur.
Can Cellulite Treatments Be Combined?
Yes. Cellulite often involves more than one concern, so combining treatments may produce a more comprehensive improvement.
For example:
- Genius RF may be used to improve firmness and texture.
- Hyperdilute Radiesse may help strengthen thin or crepey skin.
- Sculptra may be considered when buttock volume and contour also need improvement.
Treatments may be performed separately or as part of a carefully planned series. The timing and order of treatment depend on your skin, anatomy, goals, and response to previous procedures.
Why Choose Laser & Cosmetic Surgery Specialists?
There is no universal treatment plan for cellulite. Its appearance can be influenced by skin laxity, collagen loss, thinning skin, connective tissue, and changes in body contour, so treatment at Laser & Cosmetic Surgery Specialists begins with a personalized evaluation.
During your consultation, the clinical team will consider:
- The location and visibility of the cellulite
- Skin thickness and elasticity
- The degree of laxity
- Crepey or uneven texture
- Buttock or body contour
- Previous cosmetic treatments
- Your goals and expectations
Based on these factors, your plan may include Genius RF microneedling, Hyperdilute Radiesse, Sculptra, or a customized combination of treatments.
Patients also receive clear guidance about the expected number of sessions, recovery, gradual timeline for results, and possible maintenance. The goal is to recommend an appropriate treatment plan while setting realistic expectations about what cellulite treatment may improve.
