What Is Cellulite and Why Is It So Hard to Treat?
Cellulite is the dimpled, uneven skin texture caused by subcutaneous fat herniating through fibrous connective tissue bands (fibrous septae) that pull the skin downward. It affects people of all body types — including very slim individuals — because it’s about subcutaneous structural architecture, not simply fat volume.
Diet and exercise have limited effects on cellulite because the underlying structural issue (fibrous band tethering) requires targeted deep-tissue treatment to address effectively.
Rappoel Dermatology Clinic uses ONDA Coolwaves — one of the most clinically studied cellulite devices. Its proprietary microwave energy acts selectively on subcutaneous fat, fibrous septae, and the dermis simultaneously, addressing cellulite at multiple structural levels.
How Does ONDA Improve Cellulite?
ONDA’s Coolwaves selectively heat and disrupt fat cell membranes, reducing fat volume as cells are gradually metabolized and cleared from the treated area.
The fibrous bands that create cellulite dimpling are softened and remodeled by ONDA energy, reducing the skin-pulling effect that causes the uneven surface.
ONDA simultaneously stimulates dermal collagen remodeling, improving skin elasticity and texture in treated areas.
