Cellulite Reduction in La Jolla, CA
Smooth the Skin. Strengthen the Structure. Reveal a Confident You.
Cellulite is one of the most common—and frustrating—aesthetic concerns. It affects people of all shapes and sizes, regardless of lifestyle or fitness level. At Starlite Aesthetics, our Cellulite Reduction treatments go beyond surface-level smoothing to address the structural causes of dimpling and uneven skin texture.
Led by Michelle Langston, FNP-BC, our approach combines medical-grade technology with individualized care to deliver results that feel natural and empowering. Clients from La Jolla, Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, and the broader San Diego area choose our practice for precision treatment and visible, lasting improvement.

What Causes Cellulite?
Cellulite forms when fibrous connective bands beneath the skin pull downward while fat cells push upward against the dermis. This creates the familiar dimpling effect, most commonly found on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. Hormones, genetics, collagen decline, and skin laxity all play a role.
Our treatments target the root causes of cellulite—tension in the connective tissue, decreased collagen, and poor lymphatic drainage—rather than simply masking the appearance.
How We Treat Cellulite
At Starlite Aesthetics, we offer an evidence-based, customized approach to Cellulite Reduction, often combining multiple techniques for enhanced results. Depending on your skin quality, treatment area, and goals, your plan may include:
- Collagen induction therapies to rebuild skin strength
- Targeted energy-based treatments to smooth and tighten
- Subdermal injectable options to release tethered bands
- Exosome Therapy or PRP to improve skin tone and stimulate natural regeneration
- Post-treatment Medical Grade Skin Care to maintain results and prevent regression
For those also experiencing skin laxity or uneven tone, we may recommend pairing your cellulite treatment with RF Skin Rejuvenation or Laser Face Peels with PRP on applicable body areas.

Is cellulite treatment permanent?
While no treatment permanently eliminates cellulite, our methods offer long-lasting results—especially when combined with healthy lifestyle choices and consistent skincare. Maintenance sessions may be recommended annually to preserve outcomes.
Will I need more than one session?
Yes. Cellulite is a multi-factorial condition, and a series of treatments is usually needed to address it fully. Your exact number of sessions will depend on your skin response, body area, and treatment type.
Can I combine this with body contouring?
Absolutely. Many clients pair Cellulite Reduction with Fat Dissolving (Kybella), Scar Tissue Removal, or Growth Factor treatments for an integrated approach to skin and body rejuvenation.
Does it hurt?
Most clients report minimal discomfort, often described as warmth or mild pressure. Numbing is available for injectable or energy-based procedures when needed.
Is there downtime?
In most cases, downtime is minimal. Some redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur, but you can return to normal activity within 24 hours.
