Introduction
At Nova Vita Esthetics in Tampa, FL, we often hear clients say — and we cover the foundational context in our Non-Invasive Body Contouring Guide for Tampa:
> “I work out, eat healthy, but I still have cellulite.”
Cellulite is a structural skin condition, not just a fat problem. That’s why it appears even in fit individuals.
Our non-invasive body contouring treatments target cellulite’s root causes — improving skin texture, boosting circulation, and stimulating collagen.

What Is Cellulite?
Cellulite occurs when fat deposits push through connective tissue, creating a dimpled or “orange peel” appearance.
It’s most common in women due to differences in fat distribution, muscle, and connective tissue.
Main causes:
- Hormonal changes
- Genetics
- Poor circulation
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Lifestyle factors

How Contouring Helps Reduce Cellulite
Unlike basic massage or creams, advanced contouring devices:
- Break down fat cells (lipolysis)
- Stimulate collagen & elastin production
- Improve lymphatic drainage
- Tighten skin to smooth the surface
These effects reduce the visibility of cellulite and enhance skin quality.
