Diagnostic ultrasound image and video of cellulite (hypodermis) and fat tissue (subcutaneous adipose tissue) in the ‘banana roll’ region
Below you can see ultrasound imaging of a small sized banana roll, from a normal body sized woman in her early 40s, with progressed skin laxity and Grade 2 cellulite.
Skin ultrasound image of cellulite globules and subcutaneous fat in the banana roll area, below the buttocks
Skin ultrasound video of cellulite globules and subcutaneous fat in the banana roll area, below the buttocks
In the image and video above, the epidermis, dermis, dermal hypodermal junction / DHDJ, hypodermis, cellulite, cellulite globules, cutaneous retinaculae (“collagen bands” / septae), superficial fascia, subcutaneous adipose tissue (‘fat’), deep fascia, perimuscular fascia and a small part of musculature can clearly be seen.
In the video the alternating cellulite fat globules are visualised even more clearly.
Findings:
The dermis is of normal thickness for that body area
As this banana roll is small-sized, the subcutaneous fat is relatively thin here
The cellulite globules are of average/large size
The intermediate fascia is fragmented
The tissue is quite fibrous, which is normal for this body area
These findings, together with those of other body areas, the external assessment and information provided during the consultation, were used to optimise treatment for this client.
All images were taken at our clinic in London (LipoTherapeia, 49 Marylebone High Street, London, W1).
The client is currently undergoing treatment for both cellulite and skin laxity with deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and high-power ultrasound cavitation.

Book your own skin/superficial connective tissue ultrasound scan at LipoTherapeia in London and Look Inside Your Skin™
We are proud to be the first and only cellulite clinic in the world to offer Cellulite Ultrasonography™ to our clients (since 2022), for accurate assessment and enhanced results.
You can book your ultrasound scan to assess and better understand your specific case, see how your skin looks from the inside and make informed decisions, in regard to:
Cellulite
Skin laxity
Lipedema
Subcutaneous fat levels
You can also assess the presence and severity of fibrosis and adhesions after:
Liposuction, vaser, smart lipo, bodytite etc
Cellulite surgery, such as cellulaze, cellutite, cellfina, subcision etc
Face-lift surgery
Non-surgical procedures, such as RF microneedling, extreme intensity HIFU, extreme intensity RF, extreme intensity ultrasound etc
Everything will be shown and explained to you clearly and you can see and understand how the different structures inside your skin affect your appearance.
If there is scar tissue / fibrosis, those will be clearly seen and you can differentiate between fibrosis, water retention or unremoved fat after all types of cosmetic surgery or harsh non-surgical procedures such as RF microneedling, extreme intensity HIFU etc.
(DISCLAIMER: Please note that this service is for your informational purposes only and does not constitute medical diagnosis, advice or treatment.)
The 45’ appointment includes full assessment and consultation and optional treatment plan for cellulite reduction and/or skin tightening.
If you wish to have treatment with us, the ultrasound scan, assessment and consultation will be used to optimise your course of treatments and maximise your results.

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.

Diagnostic ultrasound images of skin at the lower back of thighs, with loose skin, intermediate fascia and large cellulite “bump” visible
Skin ultrasound image of the lower, outer back of thigh with intermediate fascia visualised
This is an image of the lower, outer back of thigh.
Observations:
The dermis is of normal thickness for that body area
No cellulite is visible at this segment
Only one retinaculum can be observed at this spot
The superficial fascia can be observed but the intermediate one is missing (in orange)
The deep fascia is almost fused with the perimuscular fascia
At the bottom of the picture, the biceps femoris muscle can be clearly seen
(Image U1/2)
Skin ultrasound image of the lower, outer back of thigh with deep cellulite globule
This is an image of the lower, outer back of thigh.
Observations:
The dermis is thin at this level
Some cellulite is visible
A fat globule is seen forming a cavity within the superficial fascia - this would be observed as a large cellulite bump from the outside (in orange)
The intermediate fascia is missing
The deep fascia is clearly distinguished from the perimuscular fascia
At the bottom of the picture, the biceps femoris muscle can be clearly seen

Loose, puffy skin and cellulite on the lower, outer back of thighs
This is a video of the lower, outer back of thigh.
Observations:
After weight loss of 10kg (1.6st) the hypodermal connective tissue at this level is extremely “spongy” and loose
No proper retinaculae are seen, just an amorphous mass of thin, weak connective tissue and multiple “islands” of fat globules
The dermis, hypodermis and subcutaneous adipose tissue look almost fused together, with no visible fascia shown between them
Upon pressure, it is compressed with the exception of large fat globules surrounded by hard connective tissue
After more than 100 clients assessed, this is the first time we saw this hypodermis / subcutaneous adipose fat appearance
This is visible from the outside as a fatty/puffy area
