“I have been working with cellulite for the last 24+ years and I have heard a lot of silly myths on how to “get rid of cellulite” and cellulite scrubs is one of the most pathetic. Below I explain the details.”
A scrub to ‘get rid of cellulite’: what a really naive idea…
Do cellulite scrubs work?
What if I scrub really hard to get rid of the cellulite?
What about skin tightening scrubs?

Anti-cellulite scrubs: do they work?
Of course they don’t.
Think about it:
A scrub sloughs off the most superficial part (stratum corneum, 0.02mm deep) of your most superficial skin layer (epidermis, 0.7mm deep).
Cellulite, on the other hand, is fat accumulation on the deepest skin layer, the hypodermis, at 20-80mm deep.
By exfoliating / scrubbing you are removing part of the stratum corneum (e.g. 0.01mm deep), while cellulite lays 200-800 TIMES DEEPER than what you just scrubbed.
Therefore, cellulite scrubbing scrubs away exactly ZERO cellulite.
What if I scrub really hard to get rid of the cellulite?
Sure, you may say that if you scrub hard you will apply pressure on deeper skin layers. However, if you scrub hard you will bleed well before anything of consequence happens to cellulite. The most you can achieve by scrubbing hard is to get rid of your skin, not get rid of cellulite.
Furthermore, you don’t need to scrub hard to apply pressure on the cellulite layer. You can apply 10 times more pressure than with scrubbing just by using some oil and gliding your hand over the skin (we call this deep tissue massage) without bringing yourself to bleeding.
However, deep tissue massage is known to do NOTHING for cellulite. In fact, a more cellulite-specific massage is needed, applied for a good 30 minutes on the legs (not 5 minutes) and is still not that effective for cellulite unless done for twice a week for several weeks.
So, don’t listen to all those ignorant “beauty experts” and forget about scrubbing away the cellulite with dry brushing (😂), coffee bean scrubbing (😂😂), loofah brushing (🤔) and similar time wasting ideas.
Instead, focus on things that really work (we offer 100+ ideas here), the most effective of which is deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation, ideally combined with high-power LED phototherapy.
What about skin tightening scrubs?
This is an even more preposterous idea. How could scrubbing the epidermis could lead to skin tightening is beyond me, other than excessive scrubbing leading to epidermal damage and consequent scars, which are indeed hard and tight.
But even more so, I cannot believe how people who advertise scrubbing as a method of skin tightening live with themselves…
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 24-year theory and practical application of cellulite reduction and valuable insights from 23,000+ sessions and 4,100+ 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.
