What Is Cellulite & Why Do I Have It?
Cellulite is a condition that leaves the skin dimpled or lumpy. While the exact cause of cellulite is unknown, genetics can play a large role in who gets it. Fluctuations in weight, as well as the natural aging process, can also affect your chances of getting cellulite. Common areas for cellulite include the hips, thighs, and buttocks but the condition can appear throughout the body. Unfortunately, cellulite doesn’t typically go away on its own and at-home remedies have little effect.
How Do Cellulite Treatments Work?
Cellulite removal involves a gentle, non-invasive procedure with no discomfort whatsoever. Your practitioner will evaluate the affected areas before calibrating the settings of the chosen laser to provide you with the best possible outcome. Cellulite treatments effectively melt the fat cells, which are then reabsorbed and flushed through the body’s natural metabolic processes.
What Are the Treatment Options for Cellulite?
At Manhattan Aesthetics, we offer several non-invasive cellulite treatments. Depending on the type of cellulite you have and the severity of your condition, you may be better suited for one over the other. Your skin care specialist will help determine which procedure is right for you during your initial consultation.
QWO™
Qwo™ introduces an enzyme, collagenase, into cellulite, which targets types 1 and 3 collagen fibers that make up septae. This injectable dissolves these fibers, releasing the skin from the bridge of tissue that pulls it too tight and causes the dimpling. Qwo™ is the first treatment of its kind. As an injectable, Qwo™ is the first minimally-invasive treatment that doesn’t involve significant recovery time.
ThermiSmooth®
ThermiSmooth® is a revolutionary cellulite removal treatment that also helps patients tighten loose or sagging skin. Advanced radio frequency (RF) technology stimulates long-term collagen production for lasting results that are entirely painless. Most patients undergo a series of 4-treatments to get optimal skin tightening effects and rid themselves of cellulite.
TruSculpt® 3D
TruSculpt® 3D is a highly effective procedure for both cellulite and fat reduction. The aggressive radiofrequency (RF) wavelengths heat the mid-layer of dermis targeting unwanted cellulite cells and preparing them for metabolization. Most patients can see noticeable results with just one TruSculpt® 3D treatment.*
Am I A Good Candidate for Cellulite Treatments?
With a variety of procedures for cellulite removal, we’re able to help just about anyone enjoy smoother, more youthful skin. Our non-invasive treatments are safe for all skin types, textures, and tones. Cellulite removal treatments can be done on their own or paired with other procedures for a synergistic approach to long-term cellulite removal.
Cellulite procedures can be done throughout the body. However, the most common treatment sites typically include;
- Hips
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Breasts
- Upper Arms

What Our Clients Are Saying
"Yesterday I tried Thermiaesthetic which is ThermiSmooth Skin Tightening. I ran over on my lunch break and LoLa who was the Esthetician couldn’t have been nicer! She rubbed a ton of gel on my lower face and neck with my clothes covered with towels then came the funny device. I was nervous as she said I might be a little red after, but I wasn’t at all! The treatment itself was pleasant and I almost fell asleep I was so relaxed! Then the gel was cleaned off about 25 minutes later and then I was good to go! I went back to the office and they were none the wiser! My skin already looks tighter although she recommended another couple of treatments. Which at the price point is affordable. If you need a little lift with no down time I can’t recommend it enough! Plus everyone at Manhattan Aesthetics was delightful!"*

"My experience getting SculpSure at Manhattan Aesthetics was top of the line. The people there are incredibly friendly and the office is spotless and gorgeous. The process of SculpSure is much more efficient than Cool Sculpting, it is less painful and takes less time. I was targeting my abs and as mentioned, the first 5 minutes is challenging but once I was acclimated to the heating and cooling sensations (plus my tech did massage my legs during) it was easy and I was done in 25 minutes. Afterward there was no pain or redness so I decided to do more applicators on my lower back (love handles). The follow up is to simply massage the area twice a day and drink lots of water. It is non-invasive and though I just had it done yesterday, I literally have NO after pain and I am excited to see the results! Five stars for a great experience at Manhattan Aesthetics."*
~ Hedy M
"I had coolsculpting last year and never got much of a result so decided to try sculpsure at Manhattan Aesthetics. I did 8 applicators targeting my abdomen and love handles. Layla my technician warned me the first 4 minutes would be uncomfortable so she distracted me by keeping me company and massaging my leg. After this it was it was easy, painless and actually kind of fun. I have to say the procedure was dramatically faster and less painful than coolsculpting and saw an incredible result. The best part was no downtime whatsoever-the next day I did feel sore like I did an intense ab workout. Definitely better than liposuction-sculpsure 5 stars Layla 5 stars Manhattan Aesthetics 5 stars"*

"I am totally addicted to Manhattan Aesthetics! Chelsea and Craig are so pleasant, kind and helpful. It’s always so nice to see them. The space is gorgeous. Both Lola and Natalie are great!! I couldn’t be happier with the first procedure I have received from Lola. Results were visible weeks before the suggested 6 week mark. I am currently undergoing the ThermiSmooth and will have to wait out the results but I will come back to update. I want to try the microneedling and photofacial next. I am addicted to Manhattan Aesthetics and the wonderful staff here. I came in through a groupon offer and I have no intentions of straying."*

"I am absolutely happy with the service I received at Manhattan Aesthetics. Everyone there is super nice, very friendly. Their office is pretty nice and clean. They have these candles at the front desk that smell fantastic and the melody makes you feel relaxed. I definitely recommend this place to anyone."*
~ B Jacquez
"My experience was nothing short of amazing! the entire staff, specifically Craig, Chelsey and Natalie could not have been more informative, helpful and caring! I learned the hard way that body contouring does in fact work after a long painful expensive bout with coolsculpting at skinney medspa. I then purchased the 4 applicator special at Manhattan Aesthetics for the sculpSURE laser. After 3-4 weeks my flanks were dramatically less bulky with a very noticeable definition. I have since treated my inner thighs and outer thighs. Everything about my experience and the procedure has been phenomenal!"*
~ Julia L
"Manhattan Aesthetics is 5 stars the knowledge of the staff is second to none and I could not be happier with my results. I was referred by a friend and have done both sculpsure and trusculpt and am extremely pleased with the result. Natalie was unbelievable in recommending the best possible treatment to ensure I not only lost my stomach but tightened the skin as well. Chelsea is amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule and make sure I was seen without a wait."*

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does a Typical Treatment Take?
Treatment times may vary based on the procedure used and the extent of your condition. While TruSculpt® 3D takes just 25-minutes per area, ThermiSmooth® typically takes anywhere from 15-45 minutes. Both procedures are entirely comfortable and well-tolerated among patients. In most cases, patients can expect to be in and out of the office within the hour.
What Results Will I See?*
Cellulite reduction procedures have immediate firming effects with gradual improvement over time. The best results with TruSculpt® 3D can be seen in about 3-weeks. ThermiSmooth® treatments have an optimal outcome in about 3-months. However, ThermiSmooth® for skin tightening and cellulite often has longer-lasting results for up to 1-year or more.
Is There Any Downtime?
Neither TruSculpt® 3D or ThermiSmooth® entails any downtime. Day-to-day activities can be resumed directly following treatment. Non-invasive cellulite treatments do not harm surrounding tissue making side effects minimal. Your skin care specialist will provide you with details on any after-treatment restrictions for your individual procedure.
