Cellulite
Cellulite affects most women and can be difficult to address with lifestyle changes alone. Targeted body treatments can visibly improve skin texture and smoothness.
What Is Cellulite?
Cellulite is the dimpled, uneven skin texture that appears primarily on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. It occurs when fat cells push against connective tissue beneath the skin, creating the characteristic dimpled surface. It affects around 85% of women after puberty and is largely unrelated to overall body weight.
Diet and exercise rarely eliminate cellulite, because the issue is structural rather than simply fat-related. Non-invasive body treatments that combine muscle stimulation with fat reduction can visibly smooth and firm the affected areas over a course of sessions.
Why Choose Us At Whistler Medical Aesthetics?
Whistler Medical Aesthetics was built around a simple belief: aging is a journey to be embraced, not something to be feared.
Under the guidance of Dr. Sarah Kennea, an internationally recognized MD Codes™ expert, our approach is evidence-based and deeply personalized, treating each patient's anatomy and story as unique rather than applying the same protocol to everyone who walks through the door. An accurate diagnosis at the outset, backed by real training and experience, is what separates a treatment plan that works from one that doesn't.
Our clinic reflects that same philosophy end to end: a calm, unpretentious space with floor-to-ceiling views of Rainbow and Sproat mountains, a private complimentary consultation for every new patient, and an ongoing commitment to education so your plan evolves as your goals do. The result is conservative, natural, and progressive change.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Treatments like Emsculpt Neo target localized fat and muscle tone in specific areas, not overall weight loss. They work best for patients already at or near a stable, healthy weight.
Cellulite and localized fat are largely structural, driven by connective tissue and fat cell arrangement rather than fitness level or body weight. This is why diet and exercise alone often can't fully resolve it.
Yes. Cellulite is structural, driven by connective tissue and fat cell arrangement, not by body weight or fitness level. It's common even in lean and athletic individuals.
Results relate to the fat and muscle changes achieved during treatment, so maintaining a stable weight and activity level helps sustain them. Since cellulite has a genetic and hormonal basis, some degree of maintenance treatment may be worthwhile over time.
It can. As skin loses elasticity and collagen production slows, existing cellulite often becomes more visible, even if the underlying amount hasn't changed.
