Who are injectables for cellulite suitable for?

This treatment is suitable for people who are bothered by:

Mild to moderate cellulite.
Local areas with a lumpy skin texture.
Want a subtle and natural improvement without surgery.
Do not want or cannot afford a long recovery time.

Injectables are particularly suitable for people who are healthy but, despite a healthy lifestyle and exercise, are still bothered by stubborn cellulite.

How do injectables for cellulite work?

Injectables can work in different ways, depending on the type of product used:

1. Collagenase injections (such as Qwo):

Target the tight connective tissue bands that cause cellulite.
Break down these bands, making the skin smoother.

2. Fillers:

Injectable fillers can fill dimples in the skin, making the texture more even.
They often also stimulate collagen production, which firms the skin.

3. Mesotherapy:

A cocktail of vitamins, enzymes and amino acids is injected to reduce fat deposits and improve skin quality.

4. Fat-dissolving injectables:

Break down fat cells in the superficial layers of the skin, which can help reduce cellulite.

Benefits of injectables for cellulite

Non-invasive: No surgery, incisions or scars.
Quick procedure: Treatments usually take less than an hour.
Little to no downtime: You can return to your daily activities almost immediately.
Natural result: The skin looks smoother without unnatural changes.
Long-lasting effect: The results usually remain visible for several months to a year, depending on the type of injectables.

What does the treatment involve?

Consultation: The doctor discusses your goals and assesses the severity of the cellulite to determine the best treatment.
Preparation: The area to be treated is cleansed and, if needed, numbed with a cream to minimise discomfort.
Injections: The injectables are introduced into the skin with fine needles. This process usually takes 15-30 minutes.
Aftercare: After the treatment you may experience some redness, swelling or bruising, but this fades within a few days.

Results of injectables for cellulite

Immediately visible: With some injectables, such as fillers, the effect can be visible immediately.
Gradual improvement: Enzymatic solutions such as collagenase work over several weeks, as the body breaks down the connective tissue.
Long-lasting effects: With the right aftercare and lifestyle, the results can last up to a year or longer.

Possible side effects

Although injectables for cellulite are generally safe, mild side effects can occur, such as:

Temporary redness or swelling.
Bruising at the injection sites.
Mild discomfort or itching.

Rarely, more serious side effects can occur, such as infections or allergic reactions. It is important to choose an experienced specialist for the treatment.
