How does hyaluronic acid help with cellulite?

The doctor marks selected cellulite dimples and injects a small amount of hyaluronic acid into each one, filling it from within. The skin surface then looks smoother and more even.

Is hyaluronic acid safe?

Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and breaks down gradually over time. That does not make injections risk-free: suitability, possible side effects and risks are discussed with the doctor before treatment.

How long does dimple filling last?

It depends on the product, your body and your lifestyle, as hyaluronic acid gradually breaks down. At follow-up, you and the doctor decide whether and when maintenance makes sense.

Is hyaluronic acid enough on its own?

Sometimes, but it is often combined with methods that improve skin texture. The right combination is decided during the mapping consultation.

Hyaluronic acid for cellulite

Filling dimples with hyaluronic acid is one of the methods Dr. Timestit may include in a personalised cellulite plan. It targets the dimple itself, filling it from within.

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in the body, particularly in the skin and joints, where it helps retain moisture and volume. In aesthetic medicine it is used as an injectable filler, and it breaks down gradually over time.

How does it work on cellulite?

Cellulite dimples form where connective-tissue bands pull the skin inwards. Dr. Timestit marks the dimples while you stand, then injects a small amount of hyaluronic acid into each one. The added volume softens the dimple and leaves a more even skin surface.

BeforeAfter

Buttock cellulite treated with hyaluronic acid. Results vary from person to person.

Why combine it with other methods?

Filling addresses individual dimples, but cellulite involves structures at several depths beneath the skin. A plan may therefore combine filler with device-based methods that improve skin texture and firmness. The combination is chosen after personal mapping, according to the cellulite in each area.

What are the treatment and recovery like?

Most patients describe only mild discomfort, and local anaesthetic can be used if needed. Most return to their routine the same day. Redness, swelling or light bruising at the injection points may occur and usually fades within a few days.

Who is it suitable for?

Women with clearly defined cellulite dimples, particularly on the buttocks and thighs. Treatment is not offered during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and some medical conditions may make it unsuitable, so every patient has a consultation and examination first.
