Cellulite in men

Cellulite is much more common in women rather than men but men’s skin also suffers cellulite, especially after weight loss, liposuction, as the result of ageing or due to unhealthy nutrition and especially due to yo-yo dieting.

Cellulite treatment is usually inadequate for men, because most machines used for cellulite treatment are of low or very low power*, making them inefficient even for slim, petite women let alone men, which are usually larger in size.

* As we will see below, this is nwot the case of for treatment at LipoTherapeia. At the clinic use the most advanced / most powerful machines in the world and make the most of them with exclusive protocols developed over 14+ years and 20,000+ sessions.

What causes cellulite in men?

Most men are protected from cellulite and loose skin, not only due to presence of testosterone but most importantly due the absence of estrogen.

When cellulite occurs in males it is usually due to weight gain and especially yoyo dieting. Fat cells do secrete estrogen, so excess fat tissue will mean excess estrogen, at least locally in the adipose tissue.

Estrogen in turn stimulates hypodermal fat cell proliferation and enlargement, especially in the thigh/buttock area, in combination with other factors, discussed below.

Yo-yo dieting in men (and women, of course) makes things even worse as it literally damages the fabric of connective tissue / collagen / elastin and increases hypodermal fat accumulation further.

Cellulite in men usually occurs:

  • After weight loss, when the excess skin that previously accommodated the extra volume now becomes visible as

  • After liposuction, when the excess skin that previously accommodated the extra volume now becomes visible

  • After cellulite surgery (subcision, cellfina or cellulaze), which often fails to reduce cellulite and/or causes skin laxity

  • Due to yo-yo dieting which, as mentioned above, breaks down connective tissue / collagen / elastin

  • Due to chronically poor nutritional/lifestyle choices: sugar excess carbs, alcohol, smoking/vaping, fried food, hydrogenated/trans fats, seed oils, not enough protein or polyphenols in the diet etc

  • Due to genetic reasons, such as hypermobility

  • Due to lack of exercise, inactivity, sedentary living

  • Due to hormonal changes later in life (and sometimes in younger ages too)

  • Due to years of long hours of office work

  • Due to the normal ageing process

All the above leave skin and deep connective tissues in men loose, saggy, with pronounced cellulite and increased adiposity (fat accumulation).

As many men have substantial hair cover, mild cellulite is not so evident visually, but this is not the case in all men.

Liposuction is not an option for cellulite, as it acts on the deeper subcutaneous adipose tissue, while cellulite is the more superficial, hypodermal adipose tissue - two totally different tissues (if a surgeon promises you that liposuction will get rid of your cellulite, they are simply lying).

Furthermore, as we all know, quite often dieting does not help with cellulite reduction on its own - at least not for fast results.

So there is a real need for a good cellulite reduction treatment on the thighs, bum, stomach and arms in men.

(That is, If you care about cellulite and skin laxity, of course. Not everyone cares about smooth or firm body and that is absolutely fine.)

What is the best cellulite treatment for men?

Healthy nutrition, lots of exercise and an overall wholesome lifestyle (avoidance of toxins such as cigarette smoke/vaping, hormonal contraception, microplastics, forever chemicals, alcohol etc) are the bases of every cellulite reduction and prevention treatment.

However, as every woman knows, these are quite often not enough to reduce cellulite considerably or quickly enough.

So a lot of men look for surgery or non-surgical methods, typically radiofrequency, HIFU, ultrasound cavitation, RF microneedling, acoustic wave therapy (AWT), manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massage, mechanical vacuum suction massage (palper-rouler) etc.

We do not offer or recommend cellulite surgery which, due to low effectiveness and high probability of adverse reactions, causes more problems that it solves (i.e. fibrosis, hyperpigmentation, scars and hard lumps) and does not really reduce cellulite in most cases. For more details and links to examples of cellulite surgery adverse reactions, check our dedicated article.

There are also many non-surgical treatments marketed for cellulite reduction, the vast majority of which either don’t work or have a high rate of adverse reactions - or both.

So some people get fooled by deceptive marketing and opt for HIFU or RF microneedling, which, although non-surgical, can also result in the same adverse reactions, such as fibrosis, hyperpigmentation, scars and hard lumps, and do not really reduce cellulite in most cases, either. For more details and links to examples of adverse reactions from RF microneedling and high-power HIFU, check our dedicated article (low power HIFU, as well as AWT, MLD, palper-rouler and the like are safe but achieve nothing).

We see dozens of people every year who have been burned - literally and metaphorically - by such surgical or non-surgical procedures and we only work on such cases if the skin is not too damaged by those “treatments”.

After specialising for more than two decades in cellulite reduction and skin tightening (no laser hair removal, botox, fillers, fluffy facials, chemical peels and the like - just cellulite and skin tightening), we can confirm that currently the best SAFE and effective technologies to reduce cellulite are high-power, deep-acting radiofrequency and high-power, deep-acting ultrasound cavitation (unfortunately, superficial or low-power versions of these two technologies do not work).

These are the technologies we offer at our clinic and we combine them with high-power LED phototherapy. By acting on the cell mitochondria, high-power LED phototherapy maximises the effects of radiofrequency and ultrasound, for best results, naturally.

Our high-power technologies and treatment protocols are perfect for men

As mentioned above, most skin tightening / cellulite machines on the market are not even good enough for slim / petite women (or men), let alone men, which are usually larger-sized and require higher power equipment for efficient and effective treatment, due to increased volume and skin surface.

With a low-power and/or superficially-acting machine you barely scratch the surface, even in small-sized women, let alone even average-sized men. This is a huge problem in our industry: the population is becoming larger in size yet most aesthetic equipment is not good enough even for petite/slim people.

The fact is that most cellulite and skin tightening treatments simply let both plus-sized women and men of any size down.

Stomach, waist and non-surgical butt lift

Most of our male clients want treatment on the stomach and waist after weight loss, yo-yo dieting and liposuction/vaser/smart lipo.

Many men, however, also suffer from cellulite on the buttock and thigh area where they need some cellulite reduction.

Males respond really well to cellulite removal treatments

Again, due to testosterone and the lack of estrogen, men respond much faster than women to cellulite reduction treatment, especially younger men.

Advanced cellulite treatments in London for men, by LipoTherapeia

LipoTherapeia® Plus, our bespoke combination of these three technologies, is exclusively provided without compromises or cut corners at our central London clinic.

A PAINLESS, realistically priced and effective technology, LipoTherapeia® Plus has a 99.5%+ safety rate at our clinic, as it is based on naturally stimulating collagen production, hypodermal fat release and circulation/lymphatic drainage - not on burning the skin inside, as some procedures mentioned above aim.

In addition to cellulite reduction, the technologies comprising LipoTherapeia® Plus also have a profound effect on skin tightness* as well as a beneficial effect on stretch marks. So you get a combined benefit by the use of these technologies.

(*In fact, deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the gold standard technology for SAFE and effective skin tightening.)

In most cases of cellulite / skin laxity we recommend 6-12 sessions for best results (there are no miracle treatments that reduce cellulite or tighten skin in 1-4 sessions).

The only aesthetic practice in London specialising 100% in skin tightening & cellulite removal

Most aesthetic clinics offer 20, 30, even 50 different treatments, from laser hair removal to fillers to chemical peels to cellulite, and thereby lose specialisation and expertise.

A jack of all trades therapist or clinic cannot possibly be experts in 20, 30 or 50 different treatments. It is physically impossible to follow the science and all the latest developments in 50, 30 or even 20 fields.

And it is impossible to be good at one aesthetic condition, if you never study and practise with focus and depth the science of that aesthetic condition.

So at LipoTherapeia we only focus 100% on cellulite reduction and skin tightening - nothing else.

We do not do botox, fillers, chemical peels, dermablading, microdermabrasion, fluffy facials, laser hair removal and the like: just cellulite reduction and skin tightening with the best ultrasound, radiofrequency and LED phototherapy technologies in the world - no exaggeration. And we have a deep knowledge of these five subjects - for your benefit.
