Thigh Cellulite
Cellulite affects most women at some point, creating that dimpled, uneven texture on thighs that no amount of exercise seems to shift. It’s frustrating, common, and often resistant to conventional approaches. At Dr N Clinics, Dr Nugwa offers tecar therapy as an effective treatment for reducing thigh cellulite. Using radiofrequency energy to target the specific type of fat that causes cellulite, this non-invasive approach smooths skin texture and improves contours. You don’t have to accept cellulite as inevitable. With the right treatment, visible improvement is achievable.
What is Thigh Cellulite
Cellulite is a specific type of fat distribution that creates dimpled, cottage cheese-like texture on the skin. It appears most commonly on thighs, but can affect other areas too. The fat cells push against connective tissue beneath the skin, creating the characteristic bumpy appearance. Cellulite isn’t about being overweight. Even slim, fit people develop cellulite because it’s related to how fat is structured beneath the skin, not how much fat you have. Women are particularly prone to cellulite due to the way female fat cells and connective tissue are arranged. Tecar therapy addresses cellulite by targeting these specific fat deposits with radiofrequency energy. The treatment breaks down the fat cells whilst stimulating collagen production, smoothing the skin’s surface and reducing the dimpled appearance.

How long does the treatment last?
Thigh cellulite treatment requires multiple sessions for noticeable improvement. Cellulite is stubborn, and one or two treatments won’t deliver the smoothing you’re looking for. Dr Nugwa typically recommends a series of treatments over several weeks to achieve visible reduction.
Most clients notice gradual smoothing of skin texture as they progress through sessions. Each treatment breaks down some of the problematic fat whilst improving skin quality. The dimpled appearance diminishes progressively. Results can last for months when maintained with healthy habits. However, cellulite can return over time as it’s partly influenced by genetics and hormones. Maintenance treatments help preserve your smoother skin texture long-term. The key is realistic expectations and commitment to the full treatment course.

Frequently asked questions
If you would like to discuss any concerns with your provider or have any other questions regarding your medical history, please get in touch.
Why do I have cellulite if I’m not overweight?
Cellulite isn’t about weight. It’s about how fat cells are structured beneath your skin. The arrangement of female fat cells and connective tissue makes women prone to cellulite regardless of size or fitness level.
Can cellulite be eliminated completely?
Significant improvement is achievable, but complete elimination is rarely possible. Tecar therapy can dramatically reduce the appearance of cellulite, creating much smoother skin texture. Realistic expectations are important.
How is this different from other cellulite treatments?
Tecar therapy uses radiofrequency energy to target the specific fat structure causing cellulite whilst simultaneously tightening skin. It addresses both the underlying fat and surface appearance comprehensively.
Will cellulite come back after treatment?
Cellulite can gradually return over time as it’s influenced by genetics, hormones, and lifestyle factors. Maintenance treatments help preserve your smoother results long-term.
Does it work on severe cellulite?
Even severe cellulite can show improvement with tecar therapy. However, more pronounced cellulite may require more sessions and might not achieve the same degree of smoothing as milder cases.
Can I treat other areas besides thighs?
Yes, tecar therapy can address cellulite on buttocks and other areas where it appears. Dr Nugwa will assess which areas would benefit most during your consultation.
