Cellulite affects the appearance of skin for many women and men in Los Angeles and nearby areas like Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood. At the Stem Cell & PRP Institute of L.A., we offer advanced Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)–a non-surgical, FDA-cleared treatment proven to reduce the dimpled texture of cellulite and improve skin firmness.
Led by Dr. Padra Nourparvar, a board-certified physician with procedural expertise, our Beverly Hills clinic provides personalized, cutting-edge solutions that rejuvenate your skin’s appearance with minimal downtime.
What an incredible experience everybody was super professional. I was a little worried at first because I’m so used to the doctors doing image work and MRIs and Dr. Padra. He literally just did an exam and we found the exact same spot that I got diagnosed, but then there was another spot with my SI joint, which I’ve never been told about which actually caused more pain than my other spot which was my lower back…. So we just did both and it’s been a week and I’m already feeling a difference. I’m hoping three week mark is gonna be the time where I really really start to feel it so thank you again. You guys were awesome. I will definitely be sending people to you and at some point come back when I need it. 🙂
What is ESWT and How Does It Work for Cellulite?
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy delivers focused acoustic waves deep into the skin and underlying tissues. This stimulates:
- Increased blood flow and circulation
- Collagen production and tissue remodeling
- Breakdown of fibrous bands causing cellulite dimples
- Enhanced lymphatic drainage to reduce fluid retention
The result is visibly smoother, firmer skin with a reduction in cellulite appearance.
Benefits of ESWT for Cellulite Reduction
- Non-invasive and FDA-cleared
- No surgery, needles, or downtime
- Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production
- Improves skin texture and elasticity
- Can be combined with PRP or stem cell therapy for enhanced results
Clinical studies report that up to 80% of patients experience noticeable improvement in cellulite after ESWT.
