However, our understanding of the condition has come forward in leaps and bounds in recent years. Modern treatment options have become far more targeted and effective at significantly reducing, if not completely eradicating, any visible cellulite.
Generally, treatments for cellulite can be broken down into two types:
- Medical grade treatments performed by certified therapists like our highly qualified staff at Victorian Cosmetic Dermal Clinics.
- Simple changes you can make in your life to minimise your cellulite, as well as improving your general health and well-being.

Simple changes you can make to reduce cellulite
Dietary changes for cellulite reduction
Your diet and lifestyle play a major role in cellulite formation. High-calorie meals and lack of exercise are the prime causes of cellulite and obesity. Dehydration is also a strong contributor as your cells do not fill up with vital liquid that keeps you looking radiant and your energy levels high.
To reduce cellulite, try to avoid the following foods:
- High-sugar sauces (tomato sauce, barbecue sauce)
- Pizza
- Canned meals
- Soft drinks
- Vegetable-oil based spreads (use butter instead)
- High-salt condiments (soy sauce, mustard, salad dressing)
- Processed meats and cheeses
- White bread and pasta
- Snack foods (crisps, instant noodles)
But fear not, because there are some great wholesome foods that can aid you in your battle against cellulite:
- Seeds (quinoa, sunflower seeds)
- Nuts
- Berries
- Citrus fruits (orange, lemon)
- Herbs (parsley, coriander)
- Spices (turmeric, cumin, chilli)
- Roots (garlic, ginger)
- Wholegrains (buckwheat, brown rice)
