Cellulite is not just an aesthetic issue - a conversation with an expert
Cellulite - we all probably know this term. What is it and how to fight it? Be sure to read the interview with our expert - Marlena Chmielewska, MSc.
Beauty Embassy: Is cellulite a common issue among women?
Marlena Chmielewska, MSc: Yes. Working at the Beauty Embassy, I often meet women who struggle with cellulite. It is a very common problem and difficult to combat. Contrary to popular belief that slim individuals do not have this issue - cellulite can affect anyone, regardless of body type. It is classified into three types: water-based, fat-based, and edematous, and depending on whether a person is slim and physically active or dealing with more body fat, it manifests differently.
BE: So, what exactly is cellulite?
MCh: Cellulite, also known as panniculopathy, is colloquially referred to as orange peel skin. This condition involves the abnormal distribution of body fat. Cellulite can also be accompanied by fibrous subcutaneous changes in the form of edema. Women who come to me often notice the so-called mattress effect, which they want to counteract. It is a highly visible aesthetic defect, but not the only discomfort they face.
BE: What other discomforts do patients report in relation to cellulite?
MCh: The mattress effect, mentioned earlier, is an aesthetic symptom. However, few people know that cellulite can have other health-related consequences. Many issues caused by cellulite only become apparent after a deeper conversation, surprising the women themselves.
BE: Such as?
MCh: Incorrect distribution of body fat disrupts circulation. This can lead to swelling, a sensation of heavy legs, and even varicose veins. Additionally, this tissue causes the breakdown of collagen fibers, making the skin weaker and flabbier. This effect is exacerbated by impaired blood flow, resulting in poorer skin nourishment. Excessive stretching in areas of cellulite concentration can also lead to stretch marks. Even some unexplained pains may originate from cellulite.
BE: It's alarming how many unpleasant consequences something commonly known as an aesthetic issue can bring.
MCh: Indeed. Cellulite is not just an aesthetic problem, and it is important to raise awareness about this because very few people are aware of it, and the consequences can be serious.
BE: So, how can one get rid of cellulite?
MCh: There are many methods, more or less effective. Of course, diet and lifestyle play a significant role, but in many cases, it is not enough. Various treatments that break down fat tissue are recommended, from classic massage, through endermology, to advanced technology procedures like Onda or cryolipolysis.
BE: Which of these treatments are the most effective?
MCh: Each of them, when applied correctly, is effective, but treatments that induce lipolysis will provide much longer-lasting results. I will answer the question right away - these treatments include Onda and cryolipolysis, among others. From experience, I know that they can produce spectacular effects.
BE: How do we know which treatment is best for us?
MCh: It is best to consult a specialist. In our clinic, we offer a free consultation before the procedure, during which we tailor the therapy to the patient.
BE: What else should we keep in mind?
MCh: It is certainly worth remembering that when eliminating cellulite, it is also important to address any lymphatic edema promptly (if present). Great for this purpose are massages and 3D massages such as LPG Endermologie or Icoone.
BE: Thank you for the conversation, and I hope our readers will benefit from your knowledge.
MCh: Thank you as well.

Advanced cryolipolysis technology for body shaping
CoolTech is an innovative medical device specifically designed for reducing localized fat tissue through cryolipolysis, which is the controlled cooling of fat cells. With a variety of applicators tailored to the shape and size of specific body areas, the CoolTech treatment enables very precise body shaping. During the procedure, fat cells are frozen and then naturally eliminated from the body within a few weeks, leading to a permanent reduction in their quantity.
When is it worth using CoolTech cryolipolysis?
- The CoolTech procedure is intended for individuals with localized excess fat tissue that is difficult to reduce through diet and exercise.
- It is ideal for both overweight individuals and slim patients looking to slim down and shape specific body parts.
- The treatment is not a method of overall weight loss but rather body contouring.
Precise body shaping – applicators tailored to each body part
CoolTech has applicators of various sizes and shapes for different body parts, allowing for a very precise treatment:
- Two standard CoolTech heads enable quick slimming of the abdomen, thighs, hips, back, and arms. They also help eliminate love handles, saddlebags, muffin tops, and the roll under the bust. If necessary, the heads can be further customized to the size of the body area using special inserts, allowing for a very precise treatment.
- Two large anatomical applicators are used for precise removal of fat tissue from the back of the thighs under the buttocks, the back near the shoulder blades, and larger knees.
- The Cooltech device features a double head for the abdomen, allowing for treatment over a large area - on one full "fold". The specially curved and body-shaped head enables very precise removal of fat tissue. Therefore, the treatments can be performed not only on individuals with high obesity but also on individuals with low levels of body fat who wish to shape their body.
- Special anatomical heads have been designed for precise removal of fat tissue from harder-to-reach waist areas (so-called love handles). The curved and body-shaped heads allow for very precise removal of fat tissue from these areas.
- Small anatomical applicators allow for precise shaping of slim arms, armpits, and inner knee areas.
Treatment results
CoolTech allows for a permanent reduction of fat tissue in the treatment area by up to 25-40%. Initial results may be visible after about 3 weeks, with the full result appearing after 6-12 weeks. The silhouette becomes more sculpted, and the skin becomes tighter and smoother. The effect is long-lasting if the patient maintains a healthy lifestyle.
Frequency of treatments
- In most cases, one treatment per body area is sufficient.
- If needed, the treatment can be repeated after about 6-8 weeks, but usually, one session provides satisfactory results.
Effective fat tissue reduction and body shaping
The Onda treatment is an innovative method of body shaping, utilizing advanced Coolwaves™ microwaves technology. It is an excellent solution for individuals looking to effectively reduce fat tissue from the abdomen and love handles, shape these body areas, and tighten the skin. Through the action of selective microwaves, the Onda treatment precisely breaks down fat cells, while improving the elasticity and firmness of the skin.
How does Onda work on the abdomen and love handles?
Onda uses Coolwaves™ microwaves that reach deep layers of fat tissue, effectively breaking down the fat cell membranes. The released fat during the treatment is naturally eliminated from the body through metabolic processes. This technology also works on the skin's surface, firming it and reducing the visibility of cellulite. The treatment is completely safe, non-invasive, and comfortable, making it a great alternative to invasive fat removal methods.
Effects of Onda treatment on the abdomen and love handles:
- Fat tissue reduction - decreasing the circumference of the abdomen and love handles.
- Body shaping - slimming and improving body proportions.
- Skin tightening - enhancing skin elasticity and tension in the abdomen and love handles area.
- Cellulite reduction - smoothing the skin and reducing the "orange peel" effect.
- Natural fat elimination - the body autonomously eliminates fat through metabolic processes.
Why choose Onda treatment for the abdomen and love handles?
The Onda treatment is a revolutionary solution for individuals looking to shape the abdomen and love handles without a scalpel. The precise Coolwaves™ technology allows visible results to be achieved after just a few sessions. Due to its non-invasive nature, the treatment does not require a recovery period, making it ideal for individuals leading an active lifestyle.
Onda is a way to quickly, effectively, and safely get rid of excess fat tissue, improve skin tension, and shape your dream figure. Embrace modern technology and enjoy smooth, firm skin and slim shapes.
Effective body shaping and firming
LPG Endermologie Integral is one of the most effective methods for reducing cellulite, excess fat tissue, and firming the skin. Regular treatments bring spectacular results in slimming the silhouette, improving skin tone, and eliminating swelling. It is the ideal way to shape the body without the need for invasive methods.
How does a series of LPG Endermologie Integral treatments work on the body?
The treatments are based on advanced Lipomassage™ technology. Special rollers with independent motors massage the skin, stimulating lipolysis - the process of releasing fat from fat cells. The treatment works on multiple levels: it reduces fat, smoothes the skin, and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. During the series of treatments, it is possible to precisely target selected body areas with intense "focus areas". Focus areas allow for even more effective action in areas where fat tissue is most resistant.
Why choose a series of treatments?
Systematically undergoing treatments in a series allows for achieving long-lasting and more intense results. Each subsequent session enhances the effects of the previous one, and visible changes can be noticed after just a few treatments.
Effects of a series of LPG Endermologie Integral treatments on the body:
-
Visible reduction of cellulite, even advanced cases - Systematic stimulation of the skin helps effectively smooth out unevenness caused by cellulite.
-
Reduction of body circumferences by 1-3 cm - Each treatment in the series effectively influences the slimming of selected body parts.
-
Skin firming and improvement of its tone - The series of treatments intensively stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, making the skin firm and elastic.
-
Effective body shaping - Regular sessions help achieve ideal proportions and improve body contours.
-

Smoothing of stretch marks and scars - Gradual skin stimulation reduces the visibility of scars and stretch marks.
-
