Cellulite affects up to 90% of women, regardless of age or fitness level, and is a common aesthetic concern patients share at the Klausner Institute. While cellulite is entirely natural and harmless, many individuals feel self-conscious about its appearance. Dr. Lee Ann M. Klausner, double-board certified facial plastic surgeon in NYC, offers an empathetic and expert approach to body aesthetics that prioritizes subtle, natural-looking improvement. Using innovative, noninvasive treatments like Morpheus8 and BBL® HERO™, Dr. Klausner helps patients reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve overall skin quality.
Read on to discover how these cutting-edge technologies can help you feel more confident in your skin.
Why Cellulite Happens and How to Smooth It
Cellulite forms when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin, creating a dimpled, uneven surface. It commonly affects areas like the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and arms.
Several factors can contribute to its development, including:
- Genetics and family history
- Hormonal changes, especially related to estrogen
- Skin thickness and elasticity
- Lifestyle habits such as diet, hydration, and activity levels
Its complexity often requires treatments that target both the skin and underlying tissue. Dr. Klausner tailors each plan using medical precision and aesthetic artistry, leveraging Morpheus8 and BBL® HERO™ to firm, smooth, and rejuvenate your skin.
How Morpheus8 Smooths and Firms Cellulite-Prone Skin
Combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy, Morpheus8 stimulates collagen production deep in the dermis. Unlike traditional microneedling, Morpheus8 penetrates up to 4,000 microns, reaching the subdermal layers where it can remodel fat and improve skin structure. For patients struggling with cellulite, this depth of action provides two essential benefits: tightening the skin and improving surface smoothness.
Morpheus8’s deep-penetrating microneedles offer targeted results for cellulite-prone areas by:
- Stimulating collagen and elastin production for firmer skin
- Remodeling underlying fat for smoother surface contours
- Tightening skin and improving texture in areas like the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen
- Delivering results with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime
Rejuvenate and Refine with BBL® HERO™
Using pulses of light to target damaged skin, BBL® HERO™ is a noninvasive light therapy that stimulates the body's natural healing processes. While BBL is best known for addressing pigmentation issues, it also stimulates collagen production, making it a valuable complement to cellulite treatments by improving overall skin texture and tone. For those looking to minimize dimples and boost radiance, this dual-modality approach offers synergistic, visible improvements with ongoing maintenance.
BBL® HERO™ offers a wide range of benefits that support cellulite treatment and improve the overall quality of your skin:
- Improves skin tone and clarity by targeting pigmentation and redness
- Enhances skin texture and elasticity with collagen stimulation
- Treats sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tone
- Requires minimal to no downtime, with most patients resuming normal activity quickly
- Can be customized for different treatment areas, including the thighs, abdomen, and arms
- Requires no numbing, as the treatments are comfortable
Why Combine Morpheus8 and BBL® HERO™ for Cellulite?
Morpheus8 works beneath the surface to tighten and contour by targeting the skin’s deeper layers. BBL® HERO™, on the other hand, improves surface texture and enhances tone using high-speed light therapy. When combined, these two technologies effectively address both the structural and superficial components of cellulite. The result is maximized collagen stimulation and a visibly smoother, firmer appearance.
