The Cely Cellulite Treatment: Breaking Down What It Does

Cellulite is stubborn. It doesn’t matter if you eat clean, train hard, or hydrate like it’s your full-time job, those dimples still cling on, especially around thighs, hips, and buttocks. That’s where The Cely Cellulite Treatment steps in, offering a non-invasive, science-backed approach to smoothing the skin’s surface.

But what actually is The Cely, how does it work, and what other treatments pair well with it?

Let’s break it down.

What Is The Cely Cellulite Treatment?

The Cely isn’t a generic massage or temporary surface-level fix. It’s a targeted treatment using a combination of advanced vacuum suction, mechanical massage, and radio frequency or infrared light (depending on the system) to treat the structural causes of cellulite.

These causes include:

• Fibrous septae: Bands of connective tissue pulling down the skin
• Fat lobules: Pockets of fat that bulge between the septae
• Poor circulation: Weak blood and lymphatic flow, which reduces skin elasticity

The Cely addresses these by breaking up fibrous bands, stimulating lymphatic drainage, and boosting collagen and elastin production, all key to improving skin texture.

The Science and Results for Cellite Treatment

According to various clinical studies on similar cellulite reduction technologies (including Endermologie and Vela Shape), patients experience an average 20–25% improvement in skin firmness and reduction in visible dimples after a full course of treatments (usually six to ten sessions spaced a week apart). One 2015 study published in Dermatologic Surgery found that combining vacuum therapy with radio frequency produced longer-lasting outcomes compared to standalone methods.

Results are not permanent but can last 6 to 12 months, depending on lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and skincare routines.

What Makes The Cely Stand Out?

The standout feature of The Cely treatment is its hybrid mechanism: the synergy of suction, thermal stimulation, and tissue mobilisation. The result isn’t just smoother skin—it’s tighter, firmer, and better hydrated skin. There’s often a visible difference after just 2-3 sessions, but optimal results show up toward the end of the full course.

Patients frequently report:

• Less dimpling
• Smoother, tighter skin
• Improved contour in thighs, buttocks, and lower belly
• Better post-workout muscle recovery due to enhanced lymphatic flow

There’s zero downtime, which makes it perfect for people fitting treatments around a full work schedule or prepping for a holiday or event.

What Can You Combine The Cely With?

This is where the real value comes in. The Cely isn’t a standalone magic bullet, but when paired with complementary treatments, it delivers serious synergy.

1. Facelift (Non-Surgical or Surgical)

This isn’t designed for facial application, but its body-lifting effects mirror what a facelift aims to do: improve skin tone and tighten underlying tissues. For clients undergoing a facelift, particularly non-surgical options like radio frequency microneedling. The Cely can maintain a youthful appearance by targeting areas the facelift doesn’t reach (arms, abdomen, thighs). It also supports lymphatic drainage, reducing post-procedure puffiness.

2. Body Contouring (e.g., Fat Freezing or Laser Lipo)

Cely shines when paired with fat reduction treatments. Cryolipolysis (fat freezing) targets fat cells, but doesn’t address skin texture. That’s where The Cely picks up the slack. After a round of CoolSculpting or laser lipo, Cely sessions can smooth out the area, improve circulation, and reduce the odds of post-treatment skin laxity.

3. Skin Tightening Treatments (Ultrasound or Radio frequency)

Skin tightening treatments like Ultherapy or Thermage stimulate collagen in deep dermal layers. Adding The Cely focuses on more superficial structures—collagen in the upper dermis and the subcutaneous layer so you’re improving texture and firmness at multiple levels. Think of it as a two-layer approach: deep collagen + surface refinement.

4. Lymphatic Drainage Massage

For clients with water retention, hormonal bloating, or sluggish circulation, that acts as a more advanced lymphatic therapy. In fact, some use it as an upgrade to traditional manual lymphatic drainage (MLD). Post-surgery patients, especially after liposuction, find that it accelerates healing and reduces swelling when cleared by their surgeon.

5. Injectables (Body Fillers or Biostimulators)

When doing bio-stimulatory injections in the buttocks or thighs (such as Sculptra), the Cely can support better product diffusion and integration. Because it increases circulation and tissue oxygenation, it can potentially enhance the overall aesthetic outcome.

Who Is It For?

While The Cely isn’t a weight loss treatment, it is well-suited for:

• Postpartum women dealing with laxity or cellulite
• Athletes with good muscle tone but stubborn skin dimpling
• People undergoing body sculpting who want better texture outcomes
• Office workers or sedentary individuals with poor circulation

It’s especially ideal for women aged 30–55, as collagen and elastin production start to decline significantly during this age range.

What’s a Typical Treatment Course Look Like?

Sessions: 6–10, depending on severity
Duration: 30–45 minutes per session
Frequency: Weekly or biweekly
Maintenance: Every 3–6 months after the initial course

Patients are advised to hydrate well before and after sessions and to avoid alcohol 24 hours before treatment. Moderate exercise also supports lymphatic drainage.

The Cely is not hype. It’s a high-performing, multi-functional treatment that addresses the structural layers contributing to cellulite and loose skin. While it won’t melt fat or replace a tummy tuck, it can refine results, add polish to body sculpting procedures, and leave skin looking more toned and even. Its ability to pair with other treatments, from fat freezing to facelifts, makes it a go-to option for anyone serious about long-term body aesthetics.
