“Pregnancy quite often results in increased cellulite, due to the weight gain and the effects of increased estrogen production in the third trimester. At LipoTherapeia we combine 25+ years of experience in cellulite reduction and skin tightening and 14 years of experience in radiofrequency and ultrasound with top of the range equipment, in order to offer you the best possible results with cellulite removal after pregnancy.”
Cellulite reduction cellulite after pregnancy
Unhappy with the looser skin and increased cellulite after pregnancy?
You’re not the only one: skin laxity and cellulite is common after pregnancy. So after pregnancy there is a real need for skin tightening and cellulite reduction.
During pregnancy:
High levels of estrogen stimulate fat accumulation and water retention
Excessive eating and reduced exercise also leads to fat accumulation
Fat accumulates not only in the subcutaneous tissue (what we call ‘fat” but also in the hypodermis (what we call ‘cellulite’)
Excess skin is produced and connective tissue becomes loose to accommodate the extra volume, leading to skin laxity
Fat bulging upwards leads to fibrosis of septa in the hypodermis (deep skin layer), which further results in cellulite
Water retention results in the increased appearance of cellulite
All the above leave skin and deep connective tissue on thighs, buttocks, stomach and arms loose, saggy, with pronounced cellulite and skin laxity.
The best way to prevent cellulite during pregnancy is to enter pregnancy whilst being fit, slim and following a wholesome, natural lifestyle (healthy nutrition, lots of gentle exercise) and maintain that lifestyle during pregnancy
Cellulite massage during pregnancy will also help, but the more effective, technology-based treatments are not allowed during pregnancy
Furthermore, simple creams, with basic ingredients like shea butter, vitamin E or C are fine during pregnancy to help avoid stretch marks, but more substantial formulations are not allowed
Post-pregnancy exercise and heathy nutrition can help you reduce cellulite and firm up skin, in a very slow manner, but in most cases they are not enough.
Liposuction can help you get rid of some unwanted fat, but it will leave you with even looser skin and most probably fibrosis and bumps. And, of course, liposuction won’t do anything for cellulite: liposuction acts on the deeper subcutaneous fat, cellulite is more superficial, hypodermal fat.
So after weight loss there is a real need for cellulite reduction, as cellulite is stubborn hypodermal fat which does not get significantly reduced by weight loss.
(That is, If you care about cellulite and skin laxity, of course. Not everyone cares about smooth or firm skin and that is absolutely fine.)

Advanced post-natal cellulite treatments, by LipoTherapeia
Our cellulite treatments after pregnancy are based on LipoTherapeia® Plus, the strongest SAFE cellulite treatment available today, skilfully applied without compromises or cut corners, for maximum results, naturally.
LipoTherapeia® Plus comprises 5 exclusive elements:
Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency, the most effective SAFE cellulite reduction technology, with the best equipment currently available
Deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation, the second most effective SAFE cellulite reduction technology, with the best equipment currently available
High-power LED phototherapy, to maximise and enhance the effects of our high-power, deep-acting radiofrequency and ultrasound, with the best equipment currently available
Advanced treatment protocols, based on actual Physics and the Anatomy & Physiology of cellulite, in order to make the most of these technologies (this is in contrast to the usual one-day training on some basics of how to use the machine, which is the norm at almost all salons and clinics that offer cellulite treatments - including cosmetic surgery practises)
Treatment based on more than two decades of experience, study and research in cellulite and skin tightening, with more than 23,000+ treatments and 4,100+ cases (including 14+ years and 13,000+ high-power, deep-acting radiofrequency and cavitation treatments)
A PAINLESS, realistically priced and effective technology, LipoTherapeia® Plus has a 99.5%+ safety rate at our clinic, as it is based on naturally stimulating collagen production, hypodermal fat release and circulation/lymphatic drainage - not on burning the skin inside, as some procedures aim.
In addition to cellulite reduction, the technologies comprising LipoTherapeia® Plus also have a profound effect on skin tightness* as well as a beneficial effect on stretch marks. So you get a combined benefit by the use of these technologies.
(*In fact, deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the gold standard technology for SAFE and effective skin tightening.)
In most cases of cellulite / skin laxity we recommend 6-12 sessions for best results (there are no miracle treatments that reduce cellulite in 1-4 sessions).

The only aesthetic practice in London that specialises 100% in skin tightening & cellulite removal
Most aesthetic clinics offer 20, 30, even 50 different treatments, from laser hair removal to fillers to chemical peels to cellulite, and thereby lose specialisation and expertise.
A jack of all trades therapist or clinic cannot possibly be experts in 20, 30 or 50 different treatments. It is physically impossible to follow the science and all the latest developments in 50, 30 or even 20 fields.
And it is impossible to be an expert in an aesthetic condition, if you never study and practise with focus and depth the science of that aesthetic condition.
So at LipoTherapeia we only focus 100% on cellulite reduction and skin tightening - nothing else.
We do not do botox, fillers, chemical peels, dermablading, microdermabrasion, waxing, nails, fluffy facials, laser hair removal and the like: just cellulite reduction and skin tightening with the best ultrasound, radiofrequency and LED phototherapy technologies in the world (no exaggeration). And we have a deep knowledge of these five subjects - for your benefit.
