What Is Cellulite and Why Does It Form?

Cellulite is one of the most common skin texture concerns, affecting up to 90% of women at some point in their lives. It appears as dimpling or uneven skin—most often on the thighs, hips, or buttocks—and is caused by changes within the connective tissue beneath the skin’s surface.

Cellulite forms when fibrous connective bands, known as septae, pull the skin downward while fat cells beneath the surface push upward. The result is the familiar dimpled or uneven texture often described as “orange peel” skin.

Hormonal influences, genetics, and a natural decline in collagen and elastin over time can make cellulite more noticeable. While it’s completely normal, many people choose treatment to achieve smoother, firmer, and more even-looking skin.

Common Treatment Areas

Cellulite can appear on nearly any part of the body, but certain areas are more prone to dimpling and laxity.

At Frisco Beauty Nurse, treatments are customized for:

  • Thighs (front and back)
  • Buttocks
  • Hips
  • Abdomen
  • Upper arms

Each area responds differently depending on collagen health, skin thickness, and tissue structure — which is why a personalized treatment plan is essential.

How We Treat Cellulite at Frisco Beauty Nurse

At Frisco Beauty Nurse, we take a regenerative approach to cellulite correction — focusing on restoring strength, structure, and elasticity within the skin. Our goal is to stimulate collagen, support the underlying tissue, and enhance overall skin quality for long-term results.

PDO Body Threads by EuroThreads

Thin, dissolvable PDO threads are placed beneath the surface of the skin to stimulate new collagen and gently tighten areas affected by dimpling or laxity. As the threads dissolve, they leave behind a supportive network of fresh collagen, resulting in smoother and firmer texture.

Biostimulators such as Sculptra®

Injectable biostimulators like Sculptra® help rebuild dermal structure by encouraging your skin to produce more collagen over time. This regenerative response gradually improves firmness and reduces the look of unevenness or depressions in the skin.

Combination Therapy

For optimal results, PDO threads and biostimulators can be combined. Threads provide structure and lift, while injectables enhance collagen remodeling for a smooth, even contour.

Each plan begins with a personalized Beauty Plan consultation, where your skin, collagen health, and tissue integrity are carefully evaluated to design a treatment strategy that fits your goals.

Results and Maintenance

Results appear gradually as your body rebuilds collagen and elastin in the treated areas. Most patients notice visible smoothing and tightening within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months.

To maintain results, treatments may be repeated annually or as part of a collagen maintenance plan. Staying hydrated, maintaining a balanced diet, and keeping your skin healthy with consistent care all support long-lasting improvements.

Building Confidence from the Inside Out

At Frisco Beauty Nurse, we believe confidence begins with feeling comfortable in your own skin. Our regenerative approach to body rejuvenation helps restore firmness and smoothness naturally — building on the beauty of you.
