Quick answer
What Is Cellulite – and Can It Be Treated?
Cellulite is dimpled skin caused by fibrous bands that tether the skin to deeper tissue while fat pushes up between them. It is extremely common in women after puberty, appears at any weight, and is not a medical problem.
Treatments can improve how cellulite looks, but no treatment removes it completely or permanently. At BLS Clinic Main Branch the doctor looks at what drives your cellulite – skin laxity, fat volume or both – and may suggest energy devices to firm and smooth the skin, such as Onda microwave body treatment or Body Thermage FLX radiofrequency, and fat-reducing injections for a localised fat component.
For overall shape changes in the same areas, see Body Contouring. For the injections, see Fat Dissolving Injections.

Cellulite vs Stubborn Fat – Why the Treatment Differs
Cellulite and fat often appear together, but they are not the same problem.
| Feature | Cellulite | Stubborn Fat |
|---|---|---|
| What you see | Dimpled, uneven skin surface | A bulge or extra volume |
| Main cause | Fibrous bands, skin laxity, fat pushing up | Localised fat deposits |
| Main approach | Skin tightening and texture smoothing | Fat-reducing injections or contouring |
| Realistic goal | Smoother-looking skin, not removal | Smaller, smoother area |

FAQ
Cellulite Treatment in Seoul – Frequently Asked Questions
How much does cellulite treatment cost in Seoul?
BLS Clinic Main Branch does not list a single cellulite treatment price, because the plan depends on the area and approach. Related listed items include body sculpture injections at ₩25,000 per area and Detail Body Thermage FLX 500 shots at ₩4,000,000. Your price is confirmed after consultation.
Can cellulite be removed permanently?
No treatment removes cellulite permanently. Cellulite treatments at BLS aim to improve its appearance, and maintenance is usually needed to keep the result.
What causes cellulite?
Cellulite is caused by fibrous bands under the skin that pull down while fat pushes up, creating a dimpled surface. Hormones, genetics, skin thickness and weight changes all play a role.
Do thin people get cellulite?
Yes. Cellulite appears at any body weight, especially in women, because it relates to skin structure and hormones as much as to fat.
How many cellulite treatment sessions are needed?
Most people need a series of sessions for a visible improvement. The doctor will suggest a realistic number based on your skin and the device used.
Is cellulite treatment possible during a trip to Seoul?
A first session is easy to fit into a trip, as downtime is minimal. Because a series is usually needed, many international patients continue on later visits.
Can I ask questions in English?
Yes. BLS Clinic Main Branch offers English consultations and WhatsApp booking at +82 10-3165-4842, with Japanese and Chinese support available.
