Cellulite comes from fibrous bands tethering the skin over fat, not from fat alone. At IN Eternity Clinic it is graded first, then each part is addressed.

Vertical fibrous bands anchor the skin to deeper tissue; where fat bulges between them and the skin is thin or lax, the surface dimples. Creams act on the surface and exercise changes overall fat, so neither reaches the bands themselves.
Hormones, genetics, skin thickness and circulation all play a part, which is why two people of the same weight can look very different.
Dr Sin Yong examines the area standing and relaxed, then with gentle pinching, to see how deep the dimpling is and how much is due to laxity or localised fat. Photographs in fixed lighting are taken so later sessions can be compared fairly.
The plan then matches each component: microwave energy for fat and the septal framework, and collagen-stimulating skin tightening where the skin itself has loosened.
“Cellulite is not a fat problem you can diet away. It is skin pulled down by bands underneath, so that is where treatment has to work.”
Onda is a DEKA device that delivers microwave energy at 2.45 GHz into the fat layer while the skin surface is cooled. The aim is to reduce localised fat and remodel the tissue that tethers the skin. Sessions are spaced weeks apart, and change develops gradually.
As a DEKA Centre of Excellence, IN Eternity Clinic works with the device’s full set of settings rather than a single preset; see the Onda Pro page for the device itself.
Cellulite can be made less visible, but the underlying structure is part of normal anatomy and tends to reappear with time, weight change and ageing. Maintenance and lifestyle factors are discussed honestly at the start.
No treatment removes it permanently. The aim is a smoother appearance over a course, with maintenance, because the structure behind cellulite is part of normal anatomy.
Not reliably. Cellulite appears at every weight because of how fibrous bands anchor the skin.
Most people feel warmth and pressure during treatment, with the skin surface cooled. Mild redness or tenderness can follow for a short time.
It depends on the grade and area. A course spaced weeks apart is usual, and progress is reviewed with photographs.
People who are pregnant, have metal implants or certain devices in the area, active skin infection, or some medical conditions. Your history is reviewed first.
Yes. Cellulite treatment is often planned alongside the clinic’s <a href="/4k-body-lift/">4K Body Lift</a> or fat-reduction work.
