Cellulite Reduction

Cellulite reduction is an aesthetic treatment aimed at improving the appearance of dimpled, uneven skin (often called “orange‑peel” skin) by treating fat lobules, fibrous septae and dermal texture. At City Clinic, we help patients smooth and firm their skin surface through proven methods.

Cellulite is caused by the anatomical structure of fat lobules separated by fibrous bands, leading to loose dermal tissue and puckered skin, often on thighs, buttocks and hips. Treatments may include suction, massage, radiofrequency, laser, and other technologies to break up fat compartments, improve circulation and stimulate collagen. City Clinic provides personalised plans to reduce skin irregularity, enhance firmness and improve confidence in appearance.

Endolaser Treatment

Endolaser is a minimally invasive laser procedure that applies laser energy beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production, tighten tissues and improve skin tone and elasticity. It is one of the most effective methods to treat flaccidity, localised fat and varicose veins, providing visible rejuvenation and firmness without surgery.

Skin Flaccidity

Skin flaccidity (or body laxity) refers to loose, sagging skin on the body that has lost elasticity and firmness. At City Clinic, our firming treatments aim to restore tone, enhance the silhouette and improve skin texture.

Fat Reduction

Localised fat reduction is a non‑invasive or minimally‑invasive aesthetic procedure designed to eliminate stubborn fat deposits in specific body areas that resist diet and exercise. At City Clinic, we specialise in gently sculpting the body contour and enhancing silhouette with tailored treatments.

Skin Firming & Lift

Facial skin tightening treatments aim to improve firmness, elasticity, and contour by stimulating collagen and elastin production. At City Clinic Marbella, we use non-surgical technologies such as radiofrequency, laser rejuvenation, and microneedling to lift and smooth the skin naturally.
