Many people wrongly associate cellulite with being overweight. In reality, the cellulite is formed when the connective tissue under the skin pulls it down, while fat tissue pushes it up.
Therefore, there is a possibility of having cellulite even when you are not overweight. Cellulite is normal, it is part of our physiology.
Key Takeaways
- Why this treatment addresses the underlying cause of dimpling, not just the surface appearance
- What to expect during your appointments, step by step
- How much time to expect to commit and how long the results can last
- Whether there are any additional treatments or products you can use at home to maintain the results.
Why Nothing Else Has Worked
Whatever you’ve done so far, we’re not judging. Trying firming creams or more cardio or just waiting for it to go away on its own don’t affect the bands that are causing you trouble. Cardio gets rid of fat, but it can’t reach below your skin. Creams can’t penetrate your skin.
What the Bella Cellulite Treatment Entails
This treatment actually isn’t just one treatment; it is a combination of various treatments. Here are the steps:
- Before photos: You’ll have private photos taken to put in your treatment chart so you can see the progress you’ve made after your treatment.
- Your Sculptra aesthetic treatment: This is when we inject the Sculptra into your treatment areas so it can do its collagen-boosting business.
- Three Tri-Polar RF treatments: About a week after your Sculptra treatment, you’ll have the first of three weekly Radio Frequency treatments, also to boost collagen production, only using different technology.
- After photos: We’ll take photos again so you can see how much you’ve improved.
Why Combine Sculptra and RF?
These treatments are used together to improve the look of cellulite by stimulating collagen in two different ways.
Sculptra then goes to work under your skin to help boost collagen while the RF energy gently heats up the deep layers of your skin, helping to firm and tighten.
We also recommend using an at-home body treatment, Alastin’s TransFORM Body Treatment, which supports the skin and collagen when used in conjunction with Sculptra. It’s always best to ask about all of your options and what is right for you.
But Is This The Right Treatment For Me?
If your thighs, hips, or buttocks have unwanted cellulite, you may be a perfect candidate for this particular treatment. Because every person’s cellulite is as different as every person’s skin, we will go over your personal needs and concerns and come up with a treatment plan that’s right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the results last?
Sculptra’s results can last over 24 months, and the RF sessions support your skin’s collagen for months beyond that. Since cellulite has a genetic component, occasional maintenance helps keep results going long term.
How many visits does it take?
Plan for about 4-6 weeks from start to finish: your consultation, one Sculptra session, then three weekly RF sessions beginning a week after that.
How is this different from CoolSculpting/Emsculpt?
CoolSculpting targets and freezes fat, while Emsculpt builds and tones muscle. This treatment targets neither, it goes after the fibrous bands actually causing your cellulite.
Who administers the treatment?
A nurse practitioner will administer the Sculptra, and an aesthetician will give you your RF treatments.
What Are You Waiting For?
Cellulite isn’t your fault. Unfortunately, it is completely normal and can occur in everybody, regardless of how tight or loose their skin is.
