Cellulite affects all body types, all ages and often appears without warning, no matter how active or healthy you are. At OLA Aesthetics, we take a balanced and evidence-based approach to cellulite. We don’t believe in quick fixes or gimmicks. Instead, we focus on how your skin is functioning, what’s contributing to the visible changes and how we can support smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.

A Note From Dr Aleks
I’ve met so many people who feel frustrated by cellulite. There’s this lingering myth that cellulite means you’re doing something wrong, and that couldn’t be further from the truth. I’ve seen cellulite on dancers, athletes, new mums and women in their seventies. It doesn’t discriminate. And it’s not a reflection of your health, your habits or your worth.
What I focus on isn’t “fixing” cellulite, but understanding the biology behind it, and the goals you hope to achieve for your skin. By taking that deeper view, we can choose treatments that work with your body’s natural structure and aim for gradual, sustainable improvement, not surface-level solutions.

Understanding Cellulite
Cellulite is caused by the interaction between your skin’s connective tissue and the underlying fat. When fat cells beneath the skin push upwards, and fibrous connective cords pull down, it creates a puckering or dimpled effect. Anyone can develop cellulite, but it is more common in women than men due to differences in fat distribution, skin thickness and connective tissue structure.
Unlike what many believe, cellulite is not caused by being overweight. In fact, it’s common in lean body types as well. Factors like genetics, hormones, skin structure and circulation play a much bigger role than weight alone.
