Question 1

Why does cellulite appear and why is it harder to eliminate than other skin imperfections?

Accepted Answer

Moderate cellulite results from a combination of connective tissue fibrosis, fat accumulation, and fluid retention. Fibrous bands trap adipose tissue, creating the characteristic "orange peel" appearance. Genetic, hormonal, and circulatory factors perpetuate it, making it resistant to diet and exercise alone. This is why it requires specific treatments that remodel the subcutaneous structure.

Question 2

What treatments does Santé Clinic use for moderate cellulite?

Accepted Answer

At Santé, we combine cellulite subcision with INDIBA radiofrequency. Subcision releases adherent fibrous bands, while INDIBA stimulates collagen contraction and remodeling in the dermis. This dual protocol addresses both fibrosis and skin laxity, significantly improving texture and skin relief.

Question 3

How many sessions do I need and when will I see cellulite results?

Accepted Answer

Typically 3-4 subcision sessions are required, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, complemented with INDIBA radiofrequency sessions. Initial changes appear 2-3 weeks post-treatment; improvement progresses over 3-4 months as collagen regenerates. Optimal results are consolidated at 6 months.

Question 4

Does cellulite subcision hurt and what is my downtime?

Accepted Answer

Subcision is performed under local anesthesia, so the procedure is painless. Post-treatment involves mild edema, light bruising, and sensitivity for 7-10 days. Avoid intense exercise and direct sun exposure the first week. No daily activity restrictions apply. Consult our team about individual contraindications.
