Sydney is a beautiful city that has more than 100 beaches. It has one of the world-famous buildings, the Sydney Opera House. Australian women take pride in their appearance and want to look fit and healthy. Nearly 85% of women in Sydney above 21 years have cellulite. They manage to cling to a person’s hips, thighs and buttocks. Women have more fat cells in their bodies, which presses against their weak collagen structures, and causes dimples on the skin’s surface. Women look for cellulite treatment in Sydney to maintain smooth skin without cellulite.
What is cellulite?
Cellulite is fat that looks lumpy. It pushes up against collagen structures, making the skin above it pucker. Cellulite has a cottage cheese or orange peel structure, and severe cellulite makes skin appear bumpy with peaks and valleys.
Women are more affected by cellulite than men, and more cellulite forms as women get older. It is commonly found on thighs and buttocks but can also appear on breasts, lower abdomen and upper arms. Cellulite can develop when women produce more estrogen. It happens during adolescence and pregnancy.
There are four grades of cellulite. They are
Grade 0: There is no cellulite on the body.
Grade 1: Skin is smooth when a person stands up, but mild dimpling is seen while sitting down. It has an orange-peel-like appearance.
Grade 2: Skin has moderate dimpling while standing and sitting. It has a cottage cheese-like appearance.
Grade 3: Skin has severe dimples when standing and sitting. Deep peaks and valleys form on the skin. It has a mattress-like appearance.

Cellulite laser treatment
It is a non-invasive laser treatment in which a tiny laser probe is inserted beneath the skin through a small incision. The laser heats the tissue below the skin and reduces the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer. It improves elasticity and skin texture by stimulating collagen production. The skin becomes smooth with improved elasticity and dermal thickness. This procedure is safe and minimally invasive and lasts for one year.
Acoustic Wave Therapy
Acoustic Wave Therapy is a safe and long-term cellulite treatment. In this therapy, ultrasonic waves impact the fibrous septae and protruding fat cells. It breaks down the fibrous tissue, relaxes the septae and allows the fat cells to fall naturally into a smooth contour. The waves disrupt the collagen, pulling the skin down and restoring the skin’s natural elasticity.
Liposuction
In liposuction, tiny incisions are made underneath the skin to remove excess fat. Removing the fat won’t remove the cellulite altogether, and it makes the dimpling more obvious. So, liposuction is combined with laser technology to tighten the skin. Liposuction treatments with bio-stimulating injections improve the skin’s appearance. The injections fill the dips and dimples in the targeted areas.
Cryolipolysis
It is a non-invasive procedure used to freeze and kill fat cells. The procedure reduces around 20% of the fat cells, and fat removal improves cellulite. The body naturally removes the dead cells. It is mostly done by women who want to do body shaping. This procedure is also known as “Coolsculpting”.

Women who opt for cellulite treatment in Sydney become happy and confident after the procedure. Most treatments are non-invasive and help women to get back to their routine in a short time. Women struggling to get rid of cellulite through diet and exercise will find quick results through cellulite treatments offered by skilled professionals.
