Equipment-based cellulite treatments at most salons and clinics (even at ‘surgeon-led’ clinics*) are applied according to a basic half-day or one-day training provided by the equipment manufacturer. Plus purchase of such equipment is typically not based on knowledge of their Physics or their specifications but according to equipment manufacturers’ marketing blurb or what is most popular on tiktok. There is no proper training on the anatomy and physiology of cellulite neither therapists are taught anything about the biophysics of the technologies they use during those half-day or one-day training sessions. It is all about how to press the buttons and move the applicators; basic health and safety; and some basic…

Many women would like to reduce cellulite in their buttocks but, as cellulite is partially a fat issue, they are afraid of losing fat/volume on their bum that area, which is totally understandable. The main technologies recommended for cellulite reduction are radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, HIFU, acoustic wave therapy and radiofrequency microneedling. While some of these techniques are more effective or more safe than others, the fact is that in the wrong hands and with the wrong equipment any of these techniques can indeed reduce subcutaneous adipose tissue (what people call ‘fat’)…

Are you overweight or a bit curvy in the right places but suffer from cellulite or skin laxity? Disappointed by treatments that don’t give you results? Apart from treatments that don’t work in general (e.g. mechanical roller-suction massages, acoustic wave therapy and the like) and the unsafe and still ineffective ones (e.g. RF microneedling, HIFU etc), some treatments that should theoretically work don’t, simply because they are too weak and too superficial. Most radiofrequency and cavitation treatments, for example, are designed and aimed at treating the face (which is about 12 times smaller than the thighs and buttocks) or the belly area (which is about 3 times smaller than the thighs and buttocks)…

Most aesthetic clinics offer 20, 30, even 50 different treatments - from hair removal to fillers to chemical peels to cellulite - and thereby lose specialisation and expertise. A jack of all trades clinic - or even worse jack of all trades therapist - cannot possibly be experts in 20, 30 or 50 different subjects. It is physically impossible to follow the science and all the latest developments in 50, 30 or even 20 fields. By definition one cannot be an expert in laser hair removal AND injectables AND cellulite AND facials AND laser facial rejuvenation AND dermablading AND...

There are two types of cellulite treatment: the pointless superficial and fluffy ones and the deep, structural ones. The latter can be further subdivided between safe and functional and unsafe and destructive. Let’s dive deep into these subcategories…

At LipoTherapeia your first treatment session as a new client will start with an expert, honest and comprehensive assessment and consultation (20-30 minutes, free). Stand-alone consultations, without treatment, last 30 minutes and cost £100. However, if you are interested in optionally having a treatment with duration of 60 minutes or less (most of our treatments) right after your consultation, you can also do so by paying the difference at the clinic…

Unfortunately many people are lured to undergo dangerous and highly invasive BBL surgery or unsafe hyaluronic acid / poly-L-lactic acid fillers in order to lift and shape their derrière. As a result many women do not even try, and quite rightly so, as they are afraid of the risks of adverse reactions inherent with such treatments. However, in addition to the one-session risky options above there is the safe, natural and effective way, which is based on stimulating collagen production and collagen contraction (with deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency) and muscle building, lifting and toning (with Emsculpt’s HIFEM technology), over a course of several safe sessions, as opposed to the - supposedly instant - gimmicky options of surgery or injections. And this is what we offer with our LipoTherapeia® Plus non-surgical bum lift treatment…
