But let’s see how realistic such expectations are and what to expect from your cellulite treatment, really…

Changing room lighting and cellulite: why does cellulite look worse in different lighting and at different times?

Changing room lighting and cellulite: why does cellulite look worse in different lighting and at different times?

It is quite common to hear at the clinic stating that “I saw my legs in the changing room and I got shocked by the amount of cellulite”.

Quite often we are not aware of aesthetic issues unless we see them under - literally - a different light (by the way the same also applies to health conditions, where we postpone taking care of them until the last minute). With facial ageing we have the elevator lighting, which is most cases is directional from top and quite often fluorescent, which is the most unflattering lighting possible…

The four stages of cellulite (plus pre-cellulite)

There are different methods to classify the severity of cellulite, some more accurate, some more technical and complicated and some more practical. As there are different types of cellulite (more on that below) and as the appearance of cellulite changes even from day to day, it is impossible to use an exact, measurable number to describe the severity of cellulite, as in 83% or similar. Furthermore, there is no objective, accurate, widely accepted way, to put an exact number and describe the severity of cellulite.

Instant miracles and “amazing cellulite transformations” do not exist, no matter how expensive the treatment - don’t be naive

There is a lot of misinformation on cellulite, due to a mix of urban myth and marketing hype. And there are many things that you should not waste time doing when it comes to cellulite removal. In fact it is not a coincidence that we devote as many articles on what not works for cellulite on our “How to get rid of cellulite” guide, as we do on cellulite myths…

As most women know by experience, most cellulite treatments simply do not work.

Genuine, AI-free content

This website is human-written 100%. We do not use Chat-GPT or any other AI tool for our pages and articles to bombard you with low quality, copy-paste spam articles and inaccurate information.

Chat-GPT and similar tools copy the web to regurgitate meaningless lowest common denominator platitudes, i.e. generally accepted myths that often have nothing to do with reality. Plus plenty of inaccuracies, misinformation and a healthy added dose of literally made up stuff - what AI experts call “AI hallucinations”.

No AI tool has the depth of experience accumulated over tens of thousands of sessions with real human beings (in fact, AI tools have zero experience, obviously). Neither can an AI tool discriminate what is reality and what is made up BS on the web.

Of course, the aesthetics industry is already full of myths, inaccuracies, platitudes and hallucinations anyway, so the advent of AI does not make much of a difference. The beauty industry has always been full of BS (sorry, that’s the correct word), AI or no AI.

So 20+ years on, we still keep it real, regardless of AI.

Efficacy: As with any medical / aesthetic treatment or skin product, results vary from person to person depending on lifestyle, genetics, state of health (how each individual body responds to treatment), so specific results cannot be guaranteed.

However, as with any medical/aesthetic treatment or skin product, sensitivity varies from person to person, and from time to time even on the same person, depending on lifestyle, genetics and state of health (how each individual body responds to a treatment at a specific time), so we cannot guarantee 100% safety.
