What causes cellulite, and can it actually be treated?

Cellulite is caused by fibrous connective tissue bands pulling down on the skin while fat cells push upward, creating the characteristic dimpled texture. It affects the majority of women regardless of body weight or fitness level, and is influenced by genetics, hormones, and circulation. While cellulite cannot be permanently eliminated, targeted body treatments can meaningfully reduce its appearance and improve skin texture.

What causes stretch marks, and when can they be treated?

Stretch marks occur when the skin is stretched rapidly, as during pregnancy, significant weight change, or growth spurts, causing tears in the deeper layers of skin. Newer, red or purple stretch marks tend to respond better to treatment than older, white or silver ones, because there is still active collagen remodelling occurring. Laser and radiofrequency treatments can improve the texture and colour of stretch marks significantly, though full elimination is not typically achievable.

What treatments does Bonita offer for these concerns?

We offer eCO2 fractional laser resurfacing and Potenza RF microneedling to stimulate collagen remodelling and improve the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks, and loose skin. We will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your specific concern and skin condition at your consultation.

How many treatments are needed?

Most body treatment protocols involve a series of 4 to 6 sessions for optimal results, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Results build over time as collagen is stimulated and remodelled. Some clients choose to do periodic maintenance sessions to sustain their results.

Is there any downtime?

Potenza RF microneedling involves 24 to 48 hours of redness and mild swelling. eCO2 resurfacing involves 5 to 7 days of redness and peeling. We will always discuss what to expect before beginning any treatment.

Will results be permanent?

Results from body treatments are meaningful and can be long-lasting, particularly with maintenance sessions. Lifestyle factors, hormonal changes, and weight fluctuations can affect how results hold over time. We will give you an honest picture of what to expect and how to support your results at home.
