Cellulite treatment in Buenos Aires: medical assessment before recommending a plan

What we assess before recommending cellulite treatment

This page starts from a different point than our informational page about cellulite: here, you are already considering professional treatment and want to know what can be done in your case.

Before recommending treatment, I assess what is actually bothering you: whether localized dimples, more diffuse uneven texture, loss of firmness, contour changes or a combination predominate. I also look at where the depressions are, whether they are visible at rest or change with posture, and the condition of the surrounding skin.

I ask about weight changes, pregnancies, physical activity and previous treatments because they help provide context and, above all, set expectations. Two patients who both say “I want to treat my cellulite” may be looking for very different changes.

If you are still trying to understand what cellulite is, why it appears or how to distinguish it from fat or laxity, that information is covered in cellulite: what it is, why it appears and what may improve it.

Which options we use depending on what predominates in your case

We do not use one protocol for every patient. The choice depends on the change we want and which components coexist in the area.

Accent Prime is the main technology we use when we want to work on texture, firmness and contour with radiofrequency and ultrasound. The indication and intensity are adjusted to the area and the patient’s goal.

If there is also marked loss of skin quality or firmness, we may consider body biostimulators such as Sculptra or Radiesse in selected areas, when that is the indication the tissue actually needs.

When assessment suggests that an injectable approach may be useful in selected areas, we may also consider PB Serum enzymes. Their indication depends on the tissue and specific goal; they are not part of an automatic protocol for every case of cellulite.

Why we do not recommend the same plan for every case of cellulite

The goal is not to label your cellulite as “soft,” “hard” or “edematous” and turn that label into a prescription. What matters is describing what we see and what you want to change.

One patient may want to improve two deep depressions under the buttock; another, the general texture of the back of the thigh; another may also have significant laxity after a weight change. Even though all of them use the word cellulite, they do not have the same aesthetic goal.

That is why the initial assessment defines priorities, areas and expectations before deciding on a technology, combination or number of sessions. The plan is built around the problem we see, not around a standard package.

What an Accent Prime session is like

The device handpiece is moved over the area in a controlled way. The sensation is progressive warmth and is tolerable in most cases. No anesthesia is needed and there is no downtime. The session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the areas treated, and you can return to your routine the same day.

How many sessions will you need?

For moderate cellulite, we work with courses of 4 to 8 sessions, once a week or every 10 days. Results are progressive: the skin begins to improve during the course and continues improving in the following weeks as collagen reorganizes. The maximum effect is usually seen around 2–3 months after the course is completed.

If you have severe fibrous cellulite, the process is slower and may require more sessions or a combination of technologies. The exact number is defined during assessment and adjusted according to how your tissue responds.

What results you can expect

Cellulite does not have a permanent cure, but it can improve significantly with treatment that is appropriate for your tissue. With a well-indicated course, you may expect:

• ✔ Visible reduction in dimpling and uneven texture
• ✔ Firmer skin with improved tone
• ✔ Improved contour on the thighs, buttocks and abdomen
• ✔ Results that can be supported with periodic maintenance

Results are not permanent if there are significant weight changes or hormonal variations. Periodic maintenance can help prolong the improvement achieved.
