SHORT ANSWER
Cellulite is dimpled skin caused by fat pushing against connective tissue, most often on the thighs and buttocks. Non-surgical treatments can improve its appearance, but results vary and no treatment removes cellulite completely.
What is cellulite?
It is a common skin texture change and not a medical condition. It is influenced by genetics, hormones, body composition and skin structure, and it affects people of all sizes.
What treatments are available?
Options include massage-based and device-based therapies, injectable treatments and, in some cases, procedures that release the bands under the skin. Outcomes vary between people and often need repeat sessions.
What can people expect?
Many treatments give modest, temporary improvement. Good practice is to explain the likely benefit and number of sessions in advance, and to avoid promises of complete removal.
Riskler nelerdir?
Depending on the treatment, bruising, soreness, swelling, skin irritation and, less often, contour irregularities or infection can occur.
Cellulite treatment in Turkey and Istanbul
Non-surgical body treatments such as cellulite therapy are sometimes combined with a visit to Turkey, including Istanbul. Because several sessions are usually needed, ask how a course would fit around a short trip.
Questions worth asking before cellulite treatment in Istanbul or elsewhere in Turkey:
- What improvement is realistic for my type of cellulite?
- How many sessions are needed and can they be given during one stay?
- Are there any reasons I should not have the treatment?
- What aftercare is advised once I am home?
When to consult a doctor
Seek advice if an area becomes very painful, hot, blistered or increasingly red after treatment.
