How Body Contouring Can Help Reduce Cellulite?

Body contouring encompasses a range of innovative medical and cosmetic treatments that reshape and enhance your body’s natural curves. When addressing cellulite, our body contouring options at Advanced Health of Oakbrook work through several scientifically proven mechanisms.

Cellulite develops when subcutaneous fat pushes against fibrous connective tissue, causing a dimpled or lumpy look—most often on the thighs, hips, buttocks, and abdomen. Our practice provides state-of-the-art body contouring procedures, including radiofrequency treatments, laser therapy, ultrasound, and minimally invasive techniques like subcision. Each of these modalities targets the root causes of cellulite in unique ways:

● Energy-Based Treatments: Technologies such as radiofrequency and laser therapy use controlled heat or energy to break down fat cells and stimulate collagen production. This process tightens and thickens the skin, making cellulite less visible and creating a smoother, firmer appearance.

● Physical Remodeling: Techniques like subcision work by releasing the fibrous bands beneath the skin that cause dimpling. By disrupting these bands, we can help restore a more even skin surface.

● Enhanced Circulation: Certain treatments boost blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which helps reduce fluid retention and further improves the texture and tone of your skin.

While body contouring at Advanced Health of Oakbrook can dramatically improve the appearance of cellulite, it’s important to note that results can vary based on individual factors and the type of treatment selected. These procedures do not permanently eliminate cellulite but can deliver noticeable, long-lasting improvements in skin smoothness and firmness.

At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, we offer a range of non-surgical and minimally invasive body contouring treatments designed to help patients achieve a more sculpted and confident appearance. Many of our patients are interested in improving the look of cellulite—those stubborn dimples commonly found on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. While body contouring technology can help, it’s important to set realistic expectations.

Cellulite forms as fat pushes against connective tissue beneath the skin, resulting in a lumpy or dimpled appearance. Our clinic offers advanced treatments such as radiofrequency, laser therapy, and mechanical massage devices, which are designed to tighten the skin, enhance circulation, and break up fat deposits. These methods can lead to smoother, firmer-looking skin and can modestly reduce the visibility of cellulite.

However, it’s important to understand that no body contouring procedure can eliminate cellulite. Cellulite is influenced by factors such as genetics, age, skin thickness, and lifestyle. At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, we emphasize a holistic approach—combining our in-office treatments with healthy lifestyle choices, such as regular exercise and a balanced diet, to optimize and maintain your results.

At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, we understand that the number of treatments required for effective cellulite reduction with body contouring varies from patient to patient. Factors such as the specific technology used, the severity of your cellulite, and your unique aesthetic goals all play a role in determining your personalized treatment plan.

Our practice offers a range of non-invasive body contouring options, each designed to target stubborn cellulite and help you achieve smoother, more toned skin. Most of our patients typically need between three to six treatment sessions, scheduled one to two weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. In cases of more pronounced cellulite, additional sessions may be recommended.

Many of our patients begin to see visible improvements after just a few treatments, with the most significant results appearing several weeks after the final session. This is due to ongoing collagen production and the body’s natural process of breaking down fat cells.

At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, we offer a range of body contouring procedures—including non-surgical fat reduction—to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. The results from these treatments can be long-lasting, as the targeted fat cells are removed or destroyed and typically do not return. However, it’s important to remember that while these results can be maintained for many years, they are not always completely permanent.

After your body contouring procedure at Advanced Health of Oakbrook, maintaining your new shape depends on your ongoing lifestyle choices. Although the treated fat cells do not regenerate, the remaining fat cells in your body can still expand if you gain weight. For this reason, we encourage our patients to adopt healthy habits, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to help preserve their results.

Other factors—such as significant weight changes, hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy, and the natural aging process—may also affect your body’s contours over time. Skin elasticity can decrease with age, which might lead to changes in the appearance of the treated areas.

At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, our advanced body contouring treatments provide a targeted approach to reducing the appearance of cellulite and enhancing your natural contours. Cellulite, often found on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen, develops when underlying fat deposits push through connective tissue beneath the skin, resulting in a dimpled or uneven surface. Dr. Christopher Orenczak utilizes the latest body contouring technologies to address the root causes of cellulite and help you achieve smoother, firmer skin.

We offer a variety of non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures. These innovative treatments work by gently heating the tissue beneath the skin, which can break down stubborn fat cells, stimulate collagen production, and tighten the skin’s surface. Increased collagen production improves skin elasticity, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance over time. Additionally, certain body contouring methods at Advanced Health of Oakbrook can enhance lymphatic drainage and blood circulation, further reducing the visibility of cellulite.

Every body contouring plan at our practice is customized to your unique body type, concerns, and goals. During your private consultation, our providers will evaluate your specific areas of concern and discuss the most effective treatment options based on your medical history and desired outcome. While individual results may vary, many patients notice a marked improvement in their skin’s texture and tone after a series of treatments.
