“The dermal hypodermal junction is where cellulite manifests and cellulite reduction is all about accurately targeting the dermis and the hypodermis in order to improve. I have extensively studied, researched and practised this exact field for 24+ years and now I can teach you how to achieve exactly the same and offer maximum results to your clients, safely.”

Learn what is the dermal hypodermal junction (DHDJ) and how it is related to cellulite
The Dermal HypoDermal Junction (DHDJ) is the border between the collagen-rich dermis (medium-depth skin layer) above and much fattier and less collagenous hypodermis (deepest skin layer) underneath.
In people without cellulite, the DHDJ is a pretty straight line, denoting no fat infiltration from the hypodermis to the dermis that causes the familiar cellulite bumps
In people with cellulite, the DHDJ has a more “bumpy” appearance, which is caused by fat infiltrating into the dermis, thereby resulting in the cellulite ‘peak and trough’ appearance
So the shorter the length of the DHDJ, the better.
Sometimes, the DHDJ is erroneously called “Dermal SubCutaneous Junction" - or even worse, “Dermal SubCutaneous Juncture”. However, the subcutis is found even lower that the hypodermis, so there cannot be a junction between dermal and subcutis. This mistake arises from the erroneous idea that the hypodermis and the subcutaneous adipose tissue is one and the same - which it isn’t.
And of course, this is different to the Dermal Epidermal Junction (DEJ), which is a more superficial anatomical site.
How to shorten the length of the DHDJ to reduce your clients’ cellulite
You need to:
Strengthen the dermis, so it does not get deformed by fat infiltration from the hypodermis below. This can happen with a skin tightening method, the best of which is deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency, properly focused to act on the dermis
Reduce fat accumulation in the hypodermis, so it does not infiltrate into the dermis. This can happen best with either deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation, again focused to act on the hypodermis and/or deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency, also focused to act on the hypodermis.
Of course, everyone is different and in some cases you need to focus on one aspect more than the other or use one technology more than the other.
And naturally, the client must follow a healthy nutrition and exercise regime, to help build collagen and stop fat accumulation from the inside.
In the last two decades I have done extensive research, combined with practical application with thousands of sessions and can now specifically pinpoint our work on the dermis, DHDJ, hypodermis or subcutaneous adipose tissue and I can teach you so that you can achieve exactly the same, for maximum results for your clients.
The Cellulite School™: Get advanced training in cellulite reduction and skin tightening
Why train with The Cellulite School™?
We all know that training in cellulite reduction and skin tightening is as basic as it gets. It is typically a 4-6 hour training, involving only basic instruction from the manufacturer on how operators can use the machine; lots of myths, erroneous information and misconceptions; and some basic health and safety on how to use the machine.
There is no proper, real training in the science or cellulite, skin tightening, radiofrequency, ultrasound and all related technologies is non-existent - worldwide.
Do you want to deeply understand radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, LED phototherapy, cellulite and skin tightening?
Get proper training based on 25-year theory and practical application of cellulite reduction and valuable insights from 24,000+ sessions and 4,200+ clients.
Now you can get instant access to our expertise and save yourself literally thousands of pounds, dollars or euros of expensive mistakes and thousands of hours of study, research and practical application by attending one of our half-day, 1-day, 2-day or 3-day professional consultancy / training courses.
Understand deeply - and get properly trained in - the science of radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, LED phototherapy, cellulite and skin tightening and confidently offer your clients the safest, strongest and most effective treatment possible.

Have a treatment in London with the cellulite experts
At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than two decades and 20,000+ sessions.
This is all we study and practise every day and have researched and tried hands-on all the important skin tightening equipment and their manufacturers.
As strong, deep acting radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the technologies of choice for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, we have invested in the best RF/ultrasound technologies in the world.
(Of course, we keep looking for new technologies every day and if/when a better technology materialises we will be the first to provide it. However, we will never follow the latest ineffective gimmick, just because it’s good marketing to offer the latest hyped up - yet ineffective and/or unsafe treatment.)
Furthermore, over the last two decades we have developed advanced RF and cavitation treatment protocols in order to make the most of our technologies, for maximum results, naturally and safely.
And for even better, faster results, we now combine our RF/ultrasound treatments with high-power red/infrared light LED treatment.
Our radiofrequency/ultrasound/LED treatments are comfortable, pain-free, downtime-free, injection-free, 99.5%+ safe and always non-invasive.
(No unsafe and ineffective RF microneedling or HIFU and no safe but ineffective acoustic wave therapy, superficial RF (bipolar/tripolar/multipolar etc), low power RF/cavitation, electrical muscle stimulation, lymphatic massage, cupping, dry brushing and no ridiculous bum bum creams.)
Our focus is on honest, realistic, science-based treatment, combined with caring, professional service, with a smile.
We will be pleased to see you, assess your cellulite, skin laxity or fibrosis, listen to your story, discuss your case and offer you the best possible treatment.
