What Is Cellulite Reduction?
Cellulite reduction treatments target the fibrous bands beneath the skin that cause a dimpled, uneven texture. While cellulite is completely natural, many women seek treatment to achieve firmer, smoother skin to enhance their appearance.
Dr. Mona uses two clinically proven cellulite reduction methods:

What to Expect with Subcision for Cellulite
Subcision is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Mona will insert a fine needle just beneath the skin to release the fibrous bands responsible for the pitted, dimpled appearance. Once released, the skin smooths out, and new collagen forms to further improve texture.
Post-procedure, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the treatment site. These effects typically subside within a few days. Most individuals can return to their normal routine within 24 to 48 hours.
What to Expect with Morpheus8 for Cellulite
Morpheus8 cellulite reduction treatments are performed using a topical or local anesthetic. This treatment combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to stimulate collagen production, tighten the skin, and remodel tissue, promoting significant improvements in skin texture and firmness over time.
Mild redness and swelling are common immediately after treatment, though downtime is minimal. As collagen production increases in the weeks after treatment, patients will notice smoother, tighter skin.
Cellulite Reduction Results
Some patients notice improvements after a single session, but optimal results may require multiple treatments, depending on the severity of cellulite.
Subcision
Initial results may be visible within a few weeks. Ongoing improvements can be expected over several weeks as collagen production increases. Results often last many years, though new cellulite formation may occur due to factors like aging, weight fluctuations, and skin elasticity changes.
Morpheus8
Skin tightening and texture improvements begin within a few weeks, with optimal results appearing after three months. Results can last a year or more. Periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended for sustained improvement.

What is cellulite?
Cellulite is a common skin condition that affects the vast majority of women. This condition creates a dimpled, uneven texture, typically on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. While it does not pose any health risks, many women opt for treatment for cosmetic reasons, as cellulite often causes self-consciousness.
Cellulite symptoms can vary in severity:
- Mild - Dimpling may only be noticeable when the skin is pinched, though in some cases, faint irregularities may appear when standing.
- Moderate - Dimpling is visible both when standing and lying down, with more significant skin irregularities and an “orange peel” texture.
- Severe - Severe cellulite is characterized by deep depressions and a lumpy appearance in all positions.
What causes cellulite?
Cellulite occurs due to a combination of factors: fibrous bands (septae) that tether the skin to underlying tissue and fat cells that protrude upward through weakened areas of the dermis. This combination creates the dimpled appearance.
Who is a candidate for cellulite reduction?
Ideal candidates for cellulite reduction with subcision or Morpheus8 are healthy individuals seeking a minimally invasive solution for achieving smoother skin. Both subcision and Morpheus8 are generally safe for all skin types and can be customized to target mild, moderate, or severe cellulite.
Is there any downtime with cellulite reduction treatments?
Downtime varies based on the treatment. Subcision may result in mild bruising for a few days, while Morpheus8 involves minimal redness and swelling. Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.
