“I have been involved in cellulite reduction for 24 years and indeed these days we all see more and more young women and girls with cellulite, even from the age of 14. However, in the vast majority of cases cellulite appearance increases with age, due to the combined effect of the normal ageing process and the cumulative end results of inactivity, poor diet, alcohol, smoking/vaping etc.”
Why does cellulite get worse with age?
Cellulite may actually start early in life but becomes worse with age
Why am I getting more cellulite with age: hypodermal fat accumulation over the months, years and decades
Why cellulite becomes worse as we age: connective tissue deterioration over the months, years and decades
WHy cellulite becomes more visible with aging: circulation deterioration over the months, years and decades
What can I do for already developed cellulite?

Cellulite may actually start early in life but becomes worse with age
Cellulite may start in the teenage years, as early as 14, but in most women it appears more and more often with progressing age.
At the clinic we see some women starting to seek cellulite treatments at about 23, then the next stage is 28, and then more in the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s.
Indeed cellulite worsens with age and there are a few reasons for that.
Why am I getting more cellulite with age: hypodermal fat accumulation over the months, years and decades
Pre-cellulite already starts forming early in life. Then, with continuous calorie imbalance, poor nutritional choices, inactivity and other reasons, hypodermal adipocytes (the fat cells that form cellulite in the deep layers of the skin) keep enlarging and at some point result in cellulite becoming visible.
Why cellulite becomes worse as we age: connective tissue deterioration over the months, years and decades
With the fat globules under the skin enlarging, skin ligaments get stretched and may harden and shorten, making the cellulite appearance more visible.
On the other hand, dermis, the upper skin layer, weakens with age, as part of the normal aging process and also due to poor nutritional choices and inactivity. The weaker dermis allows the cellulite appearance to worsen.
WHy cellulite becomes more visible with aging: circulation deterioration over the months, years and decades
Again, due to inactivity, poor nutritional choices, lack of exercise, the pressure from the enlarged fat globules and as part of the aging process, circulation and lymphatic drainage weaken, leading to water retention and consequent chronic, low grade inflammation.
This also accentuates the appearance of cellulite.
What can I do for already developed cellulite?
All in all, due to the combination of all the above factors, women report that they get more and more cellulite, as well as skin looseness, as they get older.
It is impossible to totally eliminate cellulite established for years or decades but you can reduce it considerably.
In all cases the solution is the same:
Super-healthy nutrition
Lots of physical activity and exercise
Avid smoking, alcohol and the contraceptive pill
For faster, more pronounced results, have a course of 6-12 sessions of deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation, the strongest SAFE technologies for cellulite reduction and skin tightening. High-power LED phototherapy, right after each RF/cavitation treatment will maximise 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.
The Cellulite School™: Get advanced training in cellulite reduction and skin tightening
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.
Understand deeply - and get properly trained in - the science of radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, LED phototherapy, cellulite and skin tightening and confidently offer your clients the safest, strongest and most effective treatment possible.
