Cellulite
Cellulite, that dimpled, uneven texture that often shows up on the thighs, bottom and hips, affects most women at some point, whatever their size or fitness level. If it is knocking your confidence in shorts or swimwear, non-surgical treatments can smooth the skin’s surface and improve its tone and firmness.
At RT Aesthetics, we take a medically led approach. At your free consultation we assess the affected areas and build a plan that targets the fibrous bands and fluid retention behind cellulite, while helping to firm and tighten the skin. Everything is carried out in our Newcastle clinic with no surgery and no downtime.

Non-Surgical Cellulite Treatments in Newcastle
Cellulite is the dimpled, uneven texture on the thighs, bottom and hips that most women have at some point, whatever their size or how much they train. It is worth saying up front that it is not a fat problem, or not only one. Cellulite is the fat beneath the skin pushing up between fibrous bands that tether the skin down, made worse by thinning skin and fluid sitting in the tissue. That is why losing weight often does not shift it, why creams cannot reach it, and why the treatments that help are the ones that firm the skin, reduce the fat and move the fluid. At our clinic in Whickham, Newcastle, we build that plan at a free consultation and we are honest about the fact that cellulite can be softened and smoothed, not erased.
What causes cellulite
Under the skin, fat sits in compartments held down by connective bands. In women those bands run vertically, so when the fat pushes up and the bands hold on, the surface puckers. Oestrogen, genetics, age and thinning skin make it worse, which is why it appears in the late twenties and thirties and deepens around the menopause even in slim women. Poor circulation and fluid retention swell the fat compartments and make the dimpling more obvious, which is why cellulite often looks worse at the end of a day on your feet.
Treatments for cellulite, and what they cost
Exilis Ultra Body
The main treatment. Exilis Ultra Body combines radiofrequency and ultrasound to heat the deeper layers of the skin, so the collagen tightens and rebuilds and the fat beneath reduces a little, which smooths the surface over the thighs, bottom and hips. It feels like a hot stone massage and runs as a course of four to six sessions: £785 for one area, £1,285 for two and £1,785 for three, four sessions each.
Body Ballancer
Body Ballancer is a compression suit that works up the body in gentle waves, moving the fluid that swells the fat compartments and improving circulation, which is why it is part of most cellulite plans and included in every Emerald Laser session. £100 a session or £999 for twelve.
Emerald Laser
Where there is fat across the thighs and hips as well as dimpling, Emerald Laser empties the fat cells over a course of ten sessions at £2,500, and its mild collagen effect in the skin is why some clients notice cellulite softening as the course goes on.
EMSculpt Neo
Firmer muscle underneath gives the skin something smooth to sit on, so for cellulite on the bottom and the backs of the thighs EMSculpt Neo is often added: £2,000 for a course of four.
What cellulite treatment can and cannot do
A course softens the dimpling, firms the skin and improves the texture so that the area looks smoother in normal light and in shorts. It does not make cellulite disappear, and any clinic that promises that is promising something no treatment delivers. The result also needs keeping up: the collagen we build ages with you, so a top-up session between six and twelve months after the course keeps the smoothness where it is. If we do not think your cellulite will respond enough to be worth the money, we will say so at the assessment.
What to expect
Your consultation is free and there is no obligation. Your practitioner looks at the areas, checks the skin, the fat and the fluid, and sets out a plan with the number of sessions and the full price before anything is booked. Exilis sessions take thirty to ninety minutes and feel warm; Body Ballancer sessions are thirty to sixty minutes lying in the suit. There is no downtime with any of it, and you drive home afterwards. We price match like-for-like clinic treatments, and 0% finance over 12 months is available on plans of £1,000 or more, subject to a credit assessment.
Safety
Exilis, Body Ballancer, Emerald Laser and EMSculpt Neo are non-invasive, CE-marked treatments with no needles and nothing injected. Side effects are temporary: mild redness and warmth for a few hours after Exilis, muscle soreness for a day after EMSculpt. RT Aesthetics is a medically led clinic, so every plan follows our clinical protocols with a clinic medic and a qualified nurse practitioner on the team for any medical questions.
