What is cellulite?
Dimpled skin on thighs and buttocks. Common causes include fibrous septae pulling skin down over fat, hormones and circulation. Because several factors are often involved at once, Gangnam clinics usually begin with a skin or facial analysis and then combine treatments rather than relying on a single procedure.

How doctors build a plan
A typical plan starts with the least invasive option that matches the cause, then adds stronger treatments if needed. Many visitors combine a device treatment with an injectable on the same day, but your doctor should confirm what can be safely combined and how far apart sessions should be.
