Cellulite and Uneven Skin Texture Treatment in Albuquerque, NM
What Is Cellulite and Uneven Skin Texture?
Cellulite and uneven skin texture happen when fat deposits push up against connective tissue bands beneath the skin, creating the dimpled or lumpy appearance many patients notice on the thighs, hips, or abdomen. This is one of the most common reasons patients come to us for cellulite treatment, since it can affect people at any weight or fitness level. At Enhanced Wellness NM in Albuquerque, we start by evaluating what’s contributing to your specific pattern, whether connective tissue structure, circulation, or another factor, before recommending an approach.
What Causes These Concerns?
Several factors can be at work, often overlapping, and identifying which ones apply to you shapes which options make sense.
Connective Tissue Structure
The fibrous bands connecting the skin to the underlying muscle can pull downward, while fat pushes upward, creating a dimpled surface.
Reduced Circulation
Poor blood flow to the treatment area can affect skin texture and contribute to a duller, less even appearance.
Fluid Retention and Lymphatic Congestion
When the lymphatic system doesn’t drain efficiently, fluid buildup can make the appearance more pronounced.
Collagen and Elastin Decline
As skin loses structural support with age, it becomes thinner and shows underlying texture more easily.
Hormonal Factors
Estrogen can influence fat distribution and connective tissue structure, which is part of why this appears more often in women.
What Body Systems Do We Evaluate?
- Connective tissue and fat structure beneath the skin
- Circulation to the treatment area, since blood flow affects skin tone and texture
- Lymphatic function and fluid balance
- Muscle tone underneath the treatment area

How does this treatment work?
