In brief

An in-salon anti-cellulite programme usually consists of 10 sessions, once or twice a week depending on the protocol. The first changes in skin texture are often visible after a few sessions; regular maintenance sessions then help keep the results. An initial assessment helps tailor the programme to each client.

Why a programme rather than a single session?

Cellulite develops over time: a single session brings a feeling of lightness, but it is regularity that visibly improves skin texture. That is why anti-cellulite treatments are carried out as a programme.

How many sessions?

With Stretching Cellulaire®, a programme of 10 sessions is usually recommended, once or twice a week depending on the protocol chosen by your beauty therapist.

How a programme unfolds

  1. The assessment: goals, areas, type of cellulite. A STARVAC DIAG® assessment can measure hydration and body composition.
  2. The first sessions: the skin becomes more supple and a feeling of lightness appears.
  3. Halfway through the programme: the skin texture looks more even.
  4. The end of the programme: changes are measured and a maintenance rhythm is set.

Depending on the type of cellulite

  • Watery cellulite: combine Stretching Cellulaire® with Pressodynamie®.
  • Adipose cellulite: work on the tissues and support with suitable lifestyle habits.
  • Fibrous cellulite: more established, it requires regularity.

“Regularity is everything: a programme followed consistently, then maintenance, is what gives lasting results.”

Key takeaways

  1. An anti-cellulite programme usually consists of 10 sessions.
  2. The usual frequency is once or twice a week, depending on the protocol.
  3. Maintenance after the programme helps keep the skin smoother.
  4. An initial assessment helps tailor the programme to the type of cellulite.
  5. Hydration, physical activity and diet complement the treatments.

Prolonging the results

After the programme, a maintenance session at regular intervals helps keep the skin smoother. At home, hydration, walking and a lower-salt diet complement the treatments.

Conclusion

An effective anti-cellulite programme rests on three pillars: an assessment, around ten regular sessions and maintenance. Ask your beauty salon for advice on a suitable protocol.
