Cellulite Treatment in Mount Kisco, NY
Cellulite is incredibly common and often resists diet and exercise. At Briones Weight Loss Center, Dr. Maria Briones offers non-invasive treatments like Venus Legacy™ and Morpheus8 that help Westchester County patients smooth dimpled skin and feel more confident in their bodies.
What Is Cellulite?
Cellulite is the dimpled, uneven texture that commonly appears on the thighs, buttocks, hips, and abdomen. It forms when fat cells push up against the skin while fibrous connective bands pull the skin down, creating a puckered, orange-peel look. Cellulite affects up to 90 percent of women at some point and can also appear in men. It is not a sign of poor health, but many people want smoother-looking skin.
What Causes Cellulite?
- Genetics and how your connective tissue is structured
- Hormonal changes, including those during menopause
- Weight gain or weight fluctuations
- Loss of collagen and skin elasticity with age
- Reduced circulation and fluid retention
- Lack of physical activity
Why Diet and Exercise Are Not Always Enough
Healthy habits and medical weight loss can reduce the amount of fat beneath the skin, which may soften the look of cellulite. However, because cellulite is also caused by connective tissue and skin laxity, even fit and slim people can have it. Treatments that tighten skin and stimulate collagen often deliver the most visible improvement.

Dr. Maria Briones offers non-invasive treatments that improve skin texture and firmness with little to no downtime. Options include:

- Morpheus8 body treatments that use microneedling and radiofrequency to remodel collagen
- CoolSculpting® to reduce stubborn fat pockets in areas where cellulite appears

Most patients benefit from a series of sessions, and results improve as new collagen forms.

Maintaining a stable weight, staying hydrated, and regular movement help you keep your results longer.
