Updated: Aug 14
Body treatment information • Physician-led assessment in Orchard, Singapore
Cellulite is the dimpled appearance created by interactions between skin, fibrous bands and underlying fat. It is common and not a disease; treatments may provide temporary improvement rather than removal.
What this treatment may address
Pattern assessment
The doctor evaluates dimpling, skin laxity, fat distribution and treatment goals.
Modality selection
Selected energy, mechanical or minimally invasive options may be considered.
Temporary improvement
Visible change and duration vary, and maintenance may be required.
Treatment planning
Device or procedural options are chosen according to cellulite pattern, skin condition, health history and evidence for the specific modality. The doctor will discuss clinically appropriate options, alternatives, expected course and relevant contraindications. Session number, discomfort, downtime and outcomes vary and are assessed individually.
What might I feel?
Sensation varies by treatment and individual. The doctor will explain what may be felt and which comfort measures may be considered before proceeding.

Clinic setting

Risks and important considerations
Possible risks depend on the selected modality and may include pain, redness, swelling, bruising, sensitivity, pigment change, infection, scarring, asymmetry, tissue injury or prolonged healing. Area- and treatment-specific complications, contraindications and alternatives must be discussed with the doctor. This page provides general educational information and is not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions
What can a non-surgical device realistically change?
Device-based treatment may produce temporary or modest changes in selected tissue or skin concerns. It does not replicate surgery and is not suitable for every cause.
How many sessions are needed?
Treatment number and spacing depend on device indication, area, tissue response and recovery. They are assessed individually.
What reactions can occur?
Redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, numbness or temporary contour irregularity may occur. Burns, blisters, pigment change, scarring or nerve injury are possible with some devices.
How is safety assessed?
The doctor reviews the area, skin condition, implants, medicines, circulation, medical history and device contraindications before recommending any procedure.
