What it is
Cellulite reduction is a group of non-invasive treatments that target the structure and appearance of dimpled skin — typically on the thighs, hips and buttocks — by working on skin texture, firmness and local circulation.
Cellulite is the dimpled, uneven skin texture that commonly appears on the thighs, hips and buttocks. It is influenced by the fibrous bands that run between the skin and deeper tissue, the fat that sits between them, and the firmness of the skin on top — which is why it is so common and so persistent.
Cellulite reduction at Shookra is not one machine but a combined approach. Depending on your assessment, a plan may draw on body-contouring and circulation-focused modalities — for example, cavitation to address localised fat, pressotherapy to support lymphatic drainage and fluid retention, and skin-firming techniques to improve surface texture. The aim is to work on the structure that creates the dimpling, not just the skin’s appearance.
Your clinician assesses the area, the type and severity of the cellulite, and your overall goals, then selects the combination most likely to help. Results build gradually over a course rather than from a single session, and are supported by hydration, movement and a stable weight.
Who it's for
Cellulite reduction suits people bothered by the dimpled or uneven look of skin on the thighs, hips, buttocks or upper arms, and those who want to improve the firmness and texture of these areas alongside a healthy weight. It is a common concern across body shapes and is not a sign that anything is wrong — many people simply prefer smoother-looking skin.
Because the approach is combined and adjustable, a plan can focus on circulation and fluid retention for some, and on skin firmness or localised fat for others. It works best as part of a steady routine rather than a one-off fix, and is not a weight-loss treatment. Your clinician confirms suitability, the likely benefit and a realistic course at consultation.
- Dimpled or uneven skin texture
- Loss of firmness on thighs and buttocks
- Fluid retention and sluggish circulation
- Localised areas of stubborn fat
Who it’s not for
A few situations mean it’s better to wait, or to choose a different treatment:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active infection, broken skin, or varicose or vein issues in the treatment area
- Certain medical conditions — such as clotting or circulatory disorders — that your clinician will review beforehand
- Expecting permanent removal or significant weight loss — this treatment improves the look and texture of skin, it does not eliminate cellulite or replace weight management
This isn’t exhaustive, and none of it rules you out on its own — your clinician confirms suitability at consultation.
What to expect
- 01
Assess & plan
Your clinician examines the area, looks at the type and extent of the cellulite and your goals, and builds a plan from the modalities best suited to your skin — explaining what each session targets and a realistic course.
- 02
Treat the area
Sessions are carried out over the treatment area using the selected techniques. You may feel warmth, mild pressure or movement across the skin; most people find sessions comfortable and there is typically little to no downtime.
- 03
Support & review
You'll receive guidance on hydration, movement and aftercare to support results between visits. Progress is reviewed across the course and the plan adjusted as your skin responds.
Physician note
On Cellulite Reduction
I want patients to start with realistic expectations: cellulite is normal and very common, and no treatment removes it permanently. What a well-chosen course can do is improve the texture and firmness of the skin and reduce the look of dimpling over time. I tend to combine modalities rather than rely on one device, and I am clear that results are best maintained with hydration, regular movement and a stable weight. If a patient is looking for fat loss rather than skin texture, I say so and we plan differently.
