“In 24+ years I have heard a lot of ridiculous things, quite often from (uninformed) professionals but the cellulite moving to the surface (or even cellulite moving sideways) is one of the worst. Unfortunately there are a lot of myths around cellulite and the add thing is that AI ‘chatterbots’ pick them up and present them as facts...”
“Bring the cellulite to the surface”: does this vacuous phrase mean anything?

Cellulite doesn’t travel
The beauty industry is full of myths and inaccuracies and the field of cellulite reduction is the worst. But this must be the silliest thing I have ever heard:
“Cellulite is toxins, you know, and to get rid of it you must bring it to the surface. This treatment moves the cellulite to the surface.”
This gem has been uttered by a member of the “clinical training” (😂) team of a - pretty respectable - machine manufacturer.
Now let’s make it clear once and for all: cellulite is a tissue. It cannot move deep into the body, it cannot move to the surface and it cannot move sideways (I have heard that from a client too, but the general public is excused to not know things outside their area of expertise). All in all, cellulite cannot not go anywhere: cellulite doesn’t travel.
Cellulite refers to a hypodermis (the deepest skin layer) that is characterised by increased fat accumulation, skin ligament contraction and poor circulation/water retention - all combined with a usually - but not always - lax dermis (middle skin layer).
The hypodermis, where cellulite is located, is part of the anatomy skin - it cannot travel anywhere
Adipose tissue from the hypodermis cannot travel upwards to the dermis and then to the epidermis (top skin layer) to be “sweated out” of the body or removed otherwise
And of course, those blood/lymph vessels, responsible for the poor circulation and consequent water retention, do not travel either
Furthermore, you cannot make skin ligaments (“collagen bands”) to move to the surface
And finally, you cannot - and there is no reason to - move the dermis somewhere else
The whole notion of “moving cellulite to the surface”, most probably refers to moving “toxins” to the surface, based on the old wives’ tale assumption that “cellulite is toxins”, which is, well, an old wives’ tale.
All in all, you cannot move cellulite up, down, left or right - it is a tissue fixed where it is.
How to beat cellulite - without moving its location…
You can, however, try to reduce cellulite’s fat component, its skin ligament contraction component, its poor circulation component, its skin laxity component or, ideally, all of the above, with deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation, the strongest SAFE technologies for cellulite reduction.
But don’t attempt to make it commute to another part of the body - it won’t…
Have a treatment in London with the cellulite experts
At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than two decades and 20,000+ sessions.
This is all we study and practise every day and have researched and tried hands-on all the important skin tightening equipment and their manufacturers.
As strong, deep acting radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the technologies of choice for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, we have invested in the best RF/ultrasound technologies in the world.
(Of course, we keep looking for new technologies every day and if/when a better technology materialises we will be the first to provide it. However, we will never follow the latest ineffective gimmick, just because it’s good marketing to offer the latest hyped up - yet ineffective and/or unsafe treatment.)
Furthermore, over the last two decades we have developed advanced RF and cavitation treatment protocols in order to make the most of our technologies, for maximum results, naturally and safely.
And for even better, faster results, we now combine our RF/ultrasound treatments with high-power red/infrared light LED treatment.
Our radiofrequency/ultrasound/LED treatments are comfortable, pain-free, downtime-free, injection-free, 99.5%+ safe and always non-invasive.
(No unsafe and ineffective RF microneedling or HIFU and no safe but ineffective acoustic wave therapy, superficial RF (bipolar/tripolar/multipolar etc), low power RF/cavitation, electrical muscle stimulation, lymphatic massage, cupping, dry brushing and no ridiculous bum bum creams.)
Our focus is on honest, realistic, science-based treatment, combined with caring, professional service, with a smile.
We will be pleased to see you, assess your cellulite, skin laxity or fibrosis, listen to your story, discuss your case and offer you the best possible treatment.

Why train with The Cellulite School™?
We all know that training in cellulite reduction and skin tightening is as basic as it gets. It is typically a 4-6 hour training, involving only basic instruction from the manufacturer on how operators can use the machine; lots of myths, erroneous information and misconceptions; and some basic health and safety on how to use the machine.
There is no proper, real training in the science or cellulite, skin tightening, radiofrequency, ultrasound and all related technologies is non-existent - worldwide.
Do you want to deeply understand radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, LED phototherapy, cellulite and skin tightening?
Get proper training based on 25-year theory and practical application of cellulite reduction and valuable insights from 24,000+ sessions and 4,200+ clients.
Now you can get instant access to our expertise and save yourself literally thousands of pounds, dollars or euros of expensive mistakes and thousands of hours of study, research and practical application by attending one of our half-day, 1-day, 2-day or 3-day professional consultancy / training courses.
