Cellulite Dimple Treatment
Cellulite dimples form where fibrous bands tether the skin while fat pushes upward. Treatment may combine releasing selected bands, diluted collagen stimulators to thicken the skin, and body lifting devices. It improves the appearance of dimpling over several months, but cellulite is common and cannot be permanently eliminated.
