Medical options

Medical procedures are good for stubborn cellulite as they treat it at a deeper level compared to creams. Use exercise, diet and creams to maintain the results you get from your treatment.

Clinics and boutiques have the latest technology that uses infrared light and radio frequency energies to gently heat fat cells and so break them down. The treatment is non-invasive and safe. You might need a few sessions over a few weeks.

Expect to pay between R2 000 and R9 000, depending on the number of sessions you have and the areas you want treated.

Treatments usually take less than an hour and require little to no downtime but this will differ for each person.

It’s important to recognise that results on the thighs won’t be permanent and it’s likely you’ll to need to repeat the procedures to keep dimples at bay.
