Stubborn cellulite on thighs - Options? (photo)

Hi,
It sounds like you’ve tried a variety of treatments for your thighs, and I understand how stubborn cellulite can be. If you haven’t already, you might consider exploring Morpheus8 or TempSure ENVI™, both of which are non-invasive treatments designed to tighten skin and reduce cellulite. Morpheus8 uses microneedling combined with radiofrequency energy to improve skin texture and tone, while TempSure ENVI™ focuses on skin tightening with radiofrequency energy, helping to smooth out areas affected by cellulite.
These treatments could potentially provide a smoother appearance to your thighs without surgery and minimal downtime. It's always best to consult with a specialist to determine which option would be most effective for your skin type and goals.
Good luck, and I hope you find the solution that works best for you!

Thank you so much for your question!

Based on your concerns about cellulite and skin laxity on the back of your legs, I believe a combination of Avéli and Morpheus8 could be an excellent, minimally invasive solution tailored to your needs.

Avéli is a one-time, in-office procedure specifically designed to address the structural cause of cellulite. As we age, the fibrous septae beneath the skin can tether the skin down, creating that classic dimpled appearance. Avéli allows us to precisely target and release those septae, using a handheld device guided under local anesthesia. It’s ideal for moderate to severe cellulite and has been shown to provide long-lasting improvement after just one session.

Now, while Avéli treats the root cause of cellulite dimples, Morpheus8 is a fractional radiofrequency microneedling treatment that helps tighten and smooth the skin, stimulate collagen production, and improve overall skin quality. When used after Avéli, it enhances the results by addressing skin firmness and texture, leading to a smoother and more youthful appearance. Together, these treatments offer a comprehensive approach—Avéli tackles the structural dimpling, while Morpheus8 improves the skin’s surface and elasticity. Most patients see visible improvements within weeks, with continued enhancement as collagen builds over the following months.

We’ll tailor the treatment to your unique anatomy and skin condition, and I’ll ensure we build a plan that gives you natural, lasting results with minimal downtime.

Nothing comes close to the results of Quantum/Morpheus when it to improving cellulite. It is tough and stubborn but we do have options now that quantum/morpheus is available but you need to do it under local with a little iv sedation for complete comfort.

I encourage you to explore Aveli. This is a one time treatment designed specifically to address cellulite. The treatment is done in the office with minimal downtime. It targets and releases septa bands, which are the cause of the dimpled appearance of cellulite. Visit my website or a provider near you to learn more.

Your condition is quite common among women, young and old. The treatment is rather easy. Sculptra is an ideal filler which once injected along the horizontal stretch of the indent will fill it out over a period of 6 to 12 weeks. Repeat sessions might be necessary for best results. I hope this helps and good luck from Leonard Grossman M.D. organic Plastic Surgery.
