Understanding Cellulite
Cellulite occurs when the fibrous connective cords (septae) that tether the skin to the underlying muscle pull down, while the fat cells in between push upwards. This creates the characteristic uneven, dimpled surface. It is not simply an issue of excess fat; it is a structural issue within the skin, which is why even very slim individuals can have cellulite. Hormones, genetics, and lifestyle all play a role in its development.
Effective treatment requires addressing these underlying structural causes, not just removing fat. Our technologies are designed to remodel these fibrous bands and stimulate collagen for a smoother appearance.
How we at Shumaila’s can treat this
We tackle cellulite with a multi-faceted approach, using advanced energy-based devices to remodel the skin’s deep structural layers and improve texture from within.

First-Line Treatments
Morpheus8 Body
Morpheus8 Body is a cutting-edge treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy, delivered deeper than any other device on the market. It is specifically designed to remodel subdermal tissue. For cellulite, it works by breaking up the fibrous septae, tightening connective tissue, and stimulating a massive collagen response to thicken and firm the skin, effectively smoothing out the dimples.
Ideal for
Moderate to severe cellulite on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen.
Results
Significant improvement in skin smoothness and firmness. Results develop over 3 months.
Management
A course of 3 treatments is typically recommended for optimal, long-lasting results.
RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries while delivering RF heat into the dermis. This dual-action approach triggers a powerful collagen and elastin production response. It helps to release the tension of the fibrous bands and thickens the skin, reducing the visibility of cellulite dimples.
Ideal for
Mild to moderate cellulite and improving overall skin texture and firmness.
Results
Gradual smoothing of the skin surface over a series of 3-6 treatments.
Management
Minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for busy lifestyles.

Advanced & Combination Therapies
Body Sculpting
For cases where cellulite is accompanied by stubborn pockets of fat, our Body Sculpting treatments can be used in combination. By reducing the volume of fat cells in the treated area, we can lessen the upward pressure on the skin, which contributes to the dimpled appearance. This creates a smoother, more contoured silhouette.
Ideal for
Patients who want to address both cellulite and localised fat deposits simultaneously.
Results
A visibly smoother and more sculpted body contour.
Management
Often combined with RF treatments for a comprehensive approach to both fat reduction and skin tightening.
Fat Dissolving Injections
In specific, targeted areas, fat dissolving injections can be used to reduce the small, superficial pockets of fat that bulge between the fibrous septae. By reducing the volume of these fat cells, the treatment helps to flatten the lumps and create a smoother skin surface.
Ideal for
Small, localised areas of cellulite where bulging fat is a primary contributor.
Results
Visible reduction in fat and dimpling in the treated area over several weeks.
Management
A course of treatments is usually required for best results.

Frequent Asked Questions
Cellulite is a harmless cosmetic skin condition that causes a dimpled appearance. Cellulitis is a painful bacterial skin infection that causes redness, swelling, and warmth, and requires immediate medical attention from a doctor.
There is no permanent “cure” for cellulite, as it is influenced by genetics and hormones. However, treatments like Morpheus8 Body can provide significant, long-lasting improvements by remodelling the skin’s structure. Maintenance treatments are recommended.
This depends on the severity of your cellulite and the chosen technology. A typical course involves 3-6 sessions. Your clinician will provide a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.
Most clients describe the sensation of treatments like Morpheus8 as manageable. We use topical numbing cream to ensure comfort. There is typically no pain after the procedure, though you may experience mild tenderness.
A healthy lifestyle can help reduce the overall amount of body fat, which may lessen the appearance of cellulite, but it often cannot eliminate it completely because it is a structural issue within the skin. Professional treatments are needed to address the fibrous bands and skin laxity.
