Smoother texture,
firmer-looking skin,
and realistic improvement

Cellulite is one of those changes that can seem unfair because it happens to people of all shapes and fitness levels. It usually shows up as dimples on the thighs, hips, buttocks, or stomach, and it can get worse as the skin’s support changes over time. Most of the time, treating cellulite isn’t about “removing fat.” The goal is to make the uneven texture softer by fixing the structures that make the dimples in the first place.

The best way to think about things is to focus on progress, not perfection. When you get cellulite treatment at Mayam Aesthetic, you should have realistic expectations. The goal is to make a real difference and have a smoother finish. The options you choose depend on your skin type, the area being treated, and how bad the dimpling is. This way, the result looks natural and fits what your skin can really do.

What cellulite really is (and why it shows up even when you’re fit)

The way fat, connective tissue, and skin layers work together is what causes cellulite. The surface can look dimpled when firm fibrous bands pull down and fat pushes up. Over time, skin can also get thinner, which makes the texture more obvious. This is why “fat loss only” doesn’t always get rid of cellulite and why a person can be thin and still have dimpling.

Knowing how this structure works will help you pick the right treatment. Some options work on the bands that make the tethering effect, while others work on the thickness and firmness of the skin.

The three levers that actually change the look

Most effective cellulite improvement comes from working on one or more of these levers:

  • Releasing tethering bands that pull the skin down
  • Improving skin firmness and thickness so dimples look softer
  • Smoothing surface texture by reducing fluid retention and improving tissue quality

The right combination depends on whether your cellulite is mild (visible only in certain positions) or more pronounced and visible all the time.

Treatments that target
the bands under the skin

If tethering bands are the main problem, treatments that physically break or release those bands can make the skin look smoother. One example is cellulite treatment that uses lasers and is minimally invasive. A small fiber is put under the skin to break up the bands and make the skin thicker and firmer. People usually choose this group when their dimples are deeper and more structural than just skin-deep.

Other clinical methods may involve techniques that separate or loosen the bands (sometimes called “subcision-style” methods) or technologies that use targeted energy and controlled mechanical action to smooth the area. The most important thing to remember is that these are chosen based on the pattern of dimpling, not just the area of the body. At Mayam Aestetic, the goal is to find the right option for the structural cause and then space the sessions out so that the tissue settles properly.

Home habits that support smoother texture

Home care will not “erase” cellulite, but it can support a smoother look and help you maintain clinical results. Keep it simple and consistent:

  • Build lower-body strength (glutes and thighs) to improve the way the area sits and moves
  • Keep weight changes gradual; frequent fluctuations often make texture more noticeable
  • Use daily moisturising and barrier-friendly skincare to keep skin comfortable and less reactive
  • Prioritise hydration and steady movement, especially if you notice fluid retention
  • Consider gentle massage or lymphatic-style techniques if you tend to feel “puffy” in the area

These habits work best as support, not as the only solution when cellulite is more pronounced.

Comfort, downtime, and how many sessions are realistic

Most of the time, cellulite treatment is a series of sessions, not just one. Some technologies make things better slowly over the course of several appointments. Less invasive options may cause a bigger change in fewer sessions, but they may also require more time off to heal, during which you may experience pain, swelling, or bruising.

The “right” amount of time off is different for everyone. Some patients would rather their condition get better slowly with as little disruption as possible, while others would rather a stronger treatment with a clearer recovery period. Before recommending a method, Mayam Aestetic will take into account your schedule, how sensitive your skin is, and how much bruising or tenderness you can handle.

If your skin is changing in an unusual way

Cellulite is a cosmetic problem, but if you notice something that doesn’t fit a normal cellulite pattern, like a new painful lump, rapid swelling, warmth, skin color changes, or an area that looks inflamed or getting worse, you should still get it checked out. Before starting any procedure that uses a device, it’s always best to make sure you know what you’re treating.

Mayam Aestetic can check to see if your dimpling is mostly structural, skin-quality-related, or fluid-retention-related, and then choose a treatment path that will give you visible smoothing without overpromising.
