Mesotherapy for Cellulite

Treatment Overview

Mesotherapy for cellulite is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment designed to address the underlying causes of cellulite, including poor circulation, localised fat deposits, weakened connective tissue, and fluid retention. Originally introduced to the UK by Dr Elisabeth Dancey in 1993, mesotherapy has been a trusted and widely used approach for cellulite management for over three decades.

Modern mesotherapy techniques now use advanced nanopass needles, allowing the treatment to be delivered with minimal discomfort and without bruising. By injecting carefully selected active ingredients directly into the mesoderm (the middle layer of the skin), mesotherapy works at the source of cellulite formation rather than just improving surface appearance.

This treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types and can be used as a standalone option or combined with complementary technologies such as radiofrequency skin tightening and LED light therapy to enhance results. Treated areas commonly include the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, hips, and arms.

How the Treatment Works

Cellulite develops due to a combination of factors, including fat accumulation, compromised blood flow, poor lymphatic drainage, and weakened connective tissue. Mesotherapy addresses these factors by delivering a customised blend of active ingredients directly into the skin where cellulite forms.

These ingredients may include hyaluronic acid to improve hydration and skin quality, circulation-enhancing compounds to support blood and lymphatic flow, fat-reducing agents to break down localised fat, and skin-firming ingredients to stimulate collagen and elastin production. By working at a cellular level, mesotherapy encourages regeneration, restructuring, and gradual smoothing of the skin over time.

What Happens During the Treatment

  • A consultation is carried out to assess cellulite severity and treatment areas
  • A bespoke mesotherapy formulation is prepared based on individual needs
  • Microinjections are delivered using ultrafine nanopass needles
  • The treatment is pain-free and does not cause bruising
  • Optional LED therapy may be applied to support healing and enhance results
After treatment, small raised bumps may appear at injection sites but usually resolve within 24 hours, with no downtime required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is mesotherapy effective for all types of cellulite?

Yes. Mesotherapy targets both soft and firm cellulite by addressing fat deposits, fluid retention, and connective tissue weakness.

Does the treatment hurt or cause bruising?

No. Advanced nanopass needles allow for pain-free and bruise-free treatment. Any minor skin reaction resolves quickly.

How many treatments will I need?

Most clients benefit from a course of 4–6 treatments, depending on the severity and area treated.

Which areas can be treated?

Common areas include the thighs, buttocks, hips, abdomen, arms, and other areas prone to cellulite.

Can mesotherapy be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Mesotherapy is often combined with radiofrequency skin tightening and LED therapy to enhance results and support skin regeneration.

Recovery & Results Timeline

Immediately After Treatment

Small raised bumps at injection sites may be visible. These are temporary and typically disappear within 24 hours.

Within 2-4 Weeks

Skin texture begins to improve, with reduced dimpling and smoother appearance as circulation and collagen activity increase.

Full Results & Course of Treatment

For optimal results, a course of 4-6 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart is recommended. Ongoing maintenance treatments help sustain smoother skin and prevent recurrence of cellulite.
