Cellulite Removal Singapore

Cellulite is the unsightly uneven skin appearance that appears like an orange peel, which is why it is also known as “orange peel skin” (even in Mandarin). Problem areas like the thighs, buttocks and calves. It is a common aesthetic concern among women in Singapore.

Cellulite affects 80-90% of women and affects men as well. It may also appear together with stretch marks, which are common concerns after pregnancy. There are so many cellulite treatments available in Singapore, ranging from invasive treatments to non-invasive options but what works and what doesn’t?

WHAT CAUSES CELLULITE?

Contrary to popular belief, the cellulite is not just due to excessive fats. It is actually due to the fibrous connective tissue bands that separate the fat cells into different compartments. As the fat cells grow with weight gain, the fat cells compartment swells, making the dimpling of the skin more obvious. If these fibrous bands are weakened, stretched and broken (via subcision treatment), that will improve the appearance of cellulite.

Causes of Cellulite include:

  • Genetic
  • Inactive Lifestyle
  • Pregnancy

GRADES OF CELLULITE

Nürnberger and Müller propose the clinic grading of cellulite into three grades:

Grade 1

The skin of the cellulite area is smooth at rest (which only appears when the muscles are flexed).

Grade 2

There is an appearance of “orange peel” cellulite when at rest.

Grade 3

A more serious form of grade 2 with nodules at the raised area and deeper depressions at rest.

CELLULITE TREATMENTS AVAILABLE IN SINGAPORE

Topical Treatments

Do topical creams work on cellulite? There is a myriad of topical treatments and various creams on the market. Most of the creams work by improving the hydration of the skin and thereby plumping up the skin.

Typically products that do that contain retinol and aminophylline. On the other hand, products that contain caffeine and aminophylline will dehydrate the water content of the fat cells by narrowing blood vessels that will make the fat compartment bulge less. This will reduce cellulite appearance. However, effects are most likely to be short-lived.

Non-invasive Treatments

Celluject Treatment

Celluject, a new injectable treatment from Ozhean Zoey, is set to redefine the approach to cellulite and localised fat deposits such as double chins and jowls. In Singapore, where aesthetic perfection and personal care are highly prized, the demand for effective treatments against these common issues is significant.

At Ozhean Zoey, we are dedicated to providing innovative and effective aesthetic solutions. Celluject offers a path to a smoother, more contoured appearance, which helps address the issue of uneven skin texture and fat deposits that can affect anyone, regardless of their lifestyle.

Celluject stands out as it targets the structural causes of cellulite and fat accumulation directly, which makes it a preferred choice for those seeking noticeable improvements in areas that are typically resistant to conventional treatments. Whether you are dealing with stubborn fat on the lower face or the more common problem areas like thighs and buttocks, Celluject is tailored to achieve results.

Lenisna

Lenisna, also known as a PDLLA Collagen Stimulator in Singapore, repairs damaged skin while improving facial volume and skin elasticity. Lenisna targets deeper tissues to volumise the face and lift the skin.

Poly Lactic Acid or PLA (suitable for the body) and Hyaluronic Acid (naturally present in the body) are the main components in this treatment that boost collagen production to repair and rejuvenate skin tissue. This process smooths out wrinkles and improves facial volume with a lifting effect.

Cellulite Subcision

Subcision is a surgical technique that releases the fibrous bands that tethers the fat compartment which is the main cause of the cellulite appearance. This cellulite treatment is only recommended for grade 2 and especially grade 3 cellulite.

How is it done?

1) Marking is first done with the patient standing up where areas of depressions such as the thighs and protrusions(nodules) are marked out.

2) The treatment region is then infused with tumescent anaesthesia, first in the deep fat layer followed by the superficial fat layer. This is an essential safety step as the tumescent fluid help to lift up the cellulite from the vital structures below and protects them from injury. Tumescent fluid also reduces bruising significantly and makes the subsequent subcision painless.

3) Subcision is performed with a non-coring needle. It is vital to ensure the correct depth of subcision is done. If it is too superficial, the skin layers might be injured. If it is too deep, it will produce negligible improvement to the cellulite.

Recovery

The area may feel sore for two to three weeks after the cellulite treatment. Bruises may occur in certain spots and may take 1-2 weeks to disappear. Compression garments are encouraged and advised three weeks after the cellulite treatment to promote recovery and results.

Cost of Subcision Cellulite Treatment

Subcision Cellulite treatment in Singapore starts from $2800 onwards.

FAQS

Cellulite is found in underweight and overweight people. However, the appearance of cellulite is probably worse with weight gain. Stretch marks are also one of the skin issues people can get when they lose weight.

The simple explanation is that people, mainly women, have more fats distributed at their hips (love handles), buttocks, and thighs and, therefore, more susceptible to cellulite.

Yes. With aging, the skin continues to lose its elasticity and become laxer, worsening cellulite. This also happens as the fatty deposits increase as people age.

One of the positive factors of a non-invasive cellulite treatment is that it won’t cause any pain. As the doctor carries on with the transformation procedure, it massages and smoothes the skin. The process can also be soothing and relaxing thanks to the innovative technologies they utilise. There is minimal pain involved with PLLA injections with topical anaesthesia.

Celluject & Lenisna treatments typically offer an immediate treatment result but will require several cellulite treatment sessions to create a long term improvement. Lenisna treatments offer an immediate result that improves per treatment session. Subcision typically will have bruising and swelling after the cellulite treatment, but the results are distinct after a month and permanent.

Cellulite treatments that don’t require surgery do not have any significant side effects or downtime. There might be some bruising and swelling post PLLA injections. Subcision treatment may cause some bruising, swelling and discomfort in the cellulite treatment area for 1-2 weeks.
