Thigh Cellulite Treatment

Medically Reviewed by Arash Akhavan, MD, FAAD

 

 

Cellulite on the thighs is incredibly common, affecting up to 90% of women. Despite how widespread it is, most women with cellulite still feel self-conscious about its appearance and actively seek effective treatments. Fortunately, at The Dermatology and Laser Group, we offer advanced cellulite treatment procedures designed to effectively treat all types of thigh cellulite—including both dimpled cellulite and the rippled or wavy skin types. With these innovative treatments, smoother, firmer thighs are achievable without surgery or downtime.

Treatment of Cellulite Dimples on Thighs

When treating cellulite dimples on the thighs, Avéli has emerged as the most effective and advanced solution available today. Cellulite dimples occur when fibrous bands beneath the skin tighten and pull the skin downward, creating an uneven appearance. Avéli targets and precisely releases these constricting bands, instantly smoothing out dimples in just a single minimally invasive procedure.

Unlike older, less effective treatments, Avéli delivers long-lasting results with minimal downtime, typically requiring just one treatment for lasting improvement. Patients at our office frequently comment that their thigh dimples dramatically improve, and many report feeling comfortable showing their thighs again after years of frustration.

If cellulite dimples on your thighs are affecting your confidence, Avéli can offer long-lasting, noticeable improvement.

Treatment of Rippled Cellulite Skin

Unlike cellulite dimples, rippled or wavy cellulite skin is characterized by loose, uneven texture rather than distinct dimples. Unfortunately, Avéli isn’t effective for this type of cellulite because it specifically addresses fibrous bands causing dimples. Instead, at The Dermatology and Laser Group, we prefer using a combination of biostimulatory fillers and Emtone to improve rippled cellulite.

Biostimulatory fillers stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production, enhancing smoothness, elasticity, and overall skin quality. Emtone, on the other hand, combines radiofrequency and targeted pressure energy to tighten skin, increase circulation, and reduce uneven texture and ripples. Together, these treatments offer our patients remarkable results, significantly improving the appearance of rippled or wavy cellulite on the thighs.
