“In the last 25+ years I have been working with cellulite reduction I have heard that claim many times: since menopause can sometimes weaken skin then with some HRT skin can strengthen and cellulite can be reduced. However, the latter could not be further from the truth, as the little improvement in skin condition cannot counteract the deterioration due to high amounts of estrogen in HRT, which are known to cause cellulite. And this is what I have seen in real life multiple times: many women whose cellulite has significantly increased due to HRT. Read more...”
Try to get rid of cellulite with HRT? Good luck with that…
Female hormones normally cause cellulite, do not reduce it

Female hormones normally cause cellulite, do not reduce it
Given that female hormones (progesterone and especially estrogen) are an essential cause of cellulite, HRT cannot possibly reduce cellulite, let alone “get rid of” it.
In some cases, the lack of estrogen and progesterone during menopause can lead to loose skin, which can aggravate the appearance of cellulite. With HRT this effect will diminish and skin laxity (and consequent cellulite) may improve somewhat but don’t expect a significant improvement just with HRT and definitely don’t expect getting rid or significantly reducing cellulite.
In other cases, HRT can actually aggravate cellulite in much the same way external female hormones in the form of the contraceptive pill are a major cause of cellulite.
Healthy nutrition, exercise and radiofrequency/ultrasound treatments to the rescue
In all cases, you cannot get rid of cellulite completely (with any method of any kind, do not believe the marketing hype by unscrupulous practitioners) during the menopause years and after cellulite has been established for up to 30-40 years - but you can significantly reduce it.
Towards that end, healthy nutrition, lots of exercise and an overall wholesome lifestyle are essential for any cellulite reduction effort.
For fast results and more significant improvement, a course of 6-12 sessions of deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and/or deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation - the strongest SAFE cellulite / skin tightening technologies known today - are recommended, always combined with exercise and healthy nutrition.
LipoTherapeia® Plus: Have a skin tightening/cellulite treatment with London’s cellulite experts
At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than a quarter of a century and 24,000+ 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.
