Cellulite Treatment London - RF & Shockwave in Marylebone
Realistic Cellulite Reduction | 3D-lipo UltimatePro | From £79
3D Lipo London offers non-surgical treatment for people who want to improve the appearance of cellulite and uneven skin texture. The main technology-led options are 3D-lipo UltimatePro radial pressure-wave shockwave and tripolar radiofrequency.
Cellulite is not simply excess body fat, so the right treatment depends on whether the main concern is visible dimpling, skin laxity, a localised fat pocket or a mixture of concerns. We do not promise complete or permanent cellulite removal.

What is cellulite?
Cellulite is the dimpled or uneven appearance created by the relationship between skin, connective tissue and underlying fat. It is very common and can be visible in people at many different body sizes. Aesthetic treatment aims to improve its appearance rather than treat it as a disease or as a weight-loss problem.
Cellulite treatments used at 3D Lipo London
Shockwave / radial pressure-wave treatment
The current 3D Aesthetics UltimatePro specification describes its shockwave handpiece as using radial pressure waves generated by compressed air and positions the technology for cellulite treatment. This is a beauty-led radial pressure-wave treatment; it is not the same as every medical or focused-ESWT device used in published studies.
Radiofrequency skin tightening
The UltimatePro platform also includes tripolar 1 MHz, 50 W radiofrequency with integrated vacuum. The manufacturer positions it for face/body skin tightening and cellulite-related concerns. RF may be discussed when firmness or skin laxity is an important part of the treatment goal.

What does the evidence say?
A 2025 systematic review of 24 randomised controlled trials found promising findings for shock-wave therapy and radiofrequency among several cellulite treatments, but the authors rated the overall evidence as moderate. Another 2024 systematic review of electrophysical treatments found that study quality was often weak. That is why this page avoids guaranteed percentages, fixed centimetre-loss claims or promises that cellulite will disappear permanently.

Shockwave vs Radiofrequency for Cellulite
These treatments are not identical. Shockwave delivers mechanical radial pressure waves; RF delivers controlled radiofrequency energy. The most useful choice depends on the visible concern and suitability rather than simply choosing the treatment with the strongest marketing claim.
See our detailed Shockwave vs RF for Cellulite comparison.
What happens at a consultation?
- Clarify the concern: texture, firmness, a fat pocket or a combination.
- Review suitability: medical history, medication, recent procedures and the planned treatment area are discussed.
- Choose the treatment: shockwave, RF, another body-contouring option or no treatment if it is not appropriate.
- Set expectations: results vary and a course option does not mean everyone needs the same number of sessions.
Do not stop prescribed medication because of an aesthetic appointment. Tell the clinic what you take so suitability can be assessed properly.
Results and realistic expectations
The goal is a smoother-looking and more even skin texture. Some clients choose a course because visible change can be gradual. Response varies with skin structure, cellulite severity, age, lifestyle and the treatment used.
Standardised before-and-after photographs are more useful than heavily edited or differently lit images. The examples below are clinic images and should not be taken as a guarantee of your result.
Individual results vary.
Safety and aftercare
Suitability depends on the chosen technology, medical history, medication and the planned treatment area. Temporary redness, warmth, tenderness or sensitivity can occur. Follow the treatment-specific aftercare provided at your appointment and contact the clinic if a reaction is unexpected or worsening.
For broader guidance, see our before-and-after care guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can cellulite be removed permanently?
No treatment can honestly guarantee complete or permanent cellulite removal. The realistic aim is an improvement in the appearance of dimpling, texture and firmness, and results vary.
How much does cellulite treatment cost at 3D Lipo London?
Current standalone prices are £79 for a shockwave session and £89 for a radiofrequency session. The current price page also lists course and combination packages.
Is shockwave or radiofrequency better for cellulite?
They use different mechanisms and may be chosen for different treatment goals. Shockwave is the clinic’s cellulite-focused radial pressure-wave option; radiofrequency is used when skin firmness and texture are important. Some plans may use both when suitable.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no universal number for every client. The clinic sells course options, but your plan should be based on the concern, suitability and response rather than a guaranteed result after a fixed number of sessions.
Is cellulite treatment the same as weight loss?
No. Cellulite is a skin-texture concern. These treatments are not weight-loss treatments and do not replace diet, exercise or medical weight management.
How do I book a consultation?
A £30 deposit secures an in-person consultation. It is redeemable against treatment and refundable if you attend and decide not to proceed. Please give at least 72 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. A no-show loses the £30 deposit and rebooking after a no-show requires a new £30 deposit. Late arrival may shorten the appointment so later bookings are not delayed.
