Cellulite treatment aims to make dimpled, uneven skin on the thighs, buttocks, hips and stomach look smoother and feel firmer. At 7 Dimensions Medical Center (7DMC) our skin care team offers maderotherapy (wood therapy) and anti-cellulite massage, with medical options available through our doctors when you want more. We offer cellulite treatment at our Jumeirah (Umm Suqeim 3) and Al Barsha (Arjan) branches. Cellulite is very common and not a health problem, so treatment is about how your skin looks and feels.
Cellulite is the dimpled, "orange peel" look that appears when fat beneath the skin pushes up against the skin while fibrous bands pull it down. It affects most women at some point, at every size, because of how fat and connective tissue are arranged in female skin. Hormones, genetics, age, thinner skin, fluid retention and weight changes all play a part.
No treatment removes cellulite completely or for good. The aim is to improve how the skin looks and feels, and to keep that improvement with maintenance and a healthy routine.
| Option | How it works | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Maderotherapy (wood therapy) | Shaped wooden tools, such as rollers, cups and paddles, knead, roll and drain the skin and tissue in a set sequence | Firm pressure; usually a course of sessions |
| Anti-cellulite (cellulite reduction) massage | Targeted massage combined with device stimulation of the skin and muscles | Can be combined with maderotherapy |
| Lymphatic drainage massage | Light, rhythmic strokes to help reduce fluid retention | Can help with puffiness that makes cellulite more visible |
| Doctor-led options | For example mesotherapy or Endolift for loose skin, after a doctor's assessment | Discussed at a consultation with our aesthetic doctors |
Your therapist suggests a plan after looking at your skin, the areas you want to treat and how much time you have.

I had such a lovely experience with Jodie. I had a bespoke facial with her and she was so professional, friendly and really took the time to understand my skin and tailor the treatment perfectly. … I’ll definitely be booking in with Jodie again. Highly recommend!Google review · 7DMC Jumeirah

Many people notice skin feeling firmer and looking a little smoother after a few sessions, with a fuller change possible after a course of 8 to 12 sessions, once or twice a week. Results are temporary: cellulite returns gradually without maintenance, so many people come back monthly or before the summer. Regular exercise, staying hydrated and a stable weight help results last. Results vary from person to person.
Maderotherapy and anti-cellulite massage are low-risk treatments, but the pressure is firm. You may feel tender, and you may have redness or bruising, especially early in a course or if you bruise easily. Treating over varicose veins, broken skin or a recent blood clot can cause harm, which is why your health is checked first. Device-assisted treatments can cause temporary tingling or warmth. Doctor-led treatments have their own risks, which our doctors explain before you start.
The cost of cellulite treatment in Dubai usually ranges from AED 250 to AED 2,500 per session, depending on the type of treatment, the areas treated and the clinic. Typical ranges: Maderotherapy, 60 to 90 minutes, AED 250 to AED 450; Radiofrequency cellulite treatment, per session, AED 500 to AED 2,500. These are typical market prices across Dubai clinics, not a 7DMC price list. At 7DMC, your exact price is confirmed at your consultation, before any treatment.
Common treatments include maderotherapy (wood therapy), anti-cellulite massage, radiofrequency and other device treatments, and doctor-led injectable or energy-based treatments.
Maderotherapy, also called madero therapy or wood therapy, is a massage technique that uses shaped wooden tools to knead, roll and drain the skin and the tissue underneath, to help the area look smoother and feel firmer.
The pressure is firm and some areas can feel tender, especially in the first sessions. Your therapist adjusts the pressure to what you are comfortable with.
Most people have a course of 8 to 12 sessions, once or twice a week, then monthly maintenance.
No treatment removes cellulite completely or for good. Treatments can improve how the skin looks and feels, and maintenance helps keep the change.
Liposuction removes fat but does not treat cellulite and can sometimes make dimpling more visible. Procedures that release the fibrous bands under the skin (subcision) exist, but for most people, non-surgical treatments and a healthy routine are the starting point.
7DMC offers cellulite treatment and maderotherapy at two branches: Jumeirah, in Umm Suqeim 3 opposite Jumeirah Beach Hotel, and Al Barsha, in Arjan, Al Barsha South.
