Cellulite affects around 90% of women at some point in their lives, and yet most treatments on the market either do nothing or deliver results that fade within weeks. At Snatch & Glow, we offer two targeted cellulite removal treatments, CelluErase and Strike Cell, that actually work. The question is: which one does your skin need?
What is cellulite and why is it so hard to treat?
Cellulite forms when fat cells push through weakened connective tissue beneath the skin, creating that dimpled, uneven texture on the thighs, bum, stomach, and arms. It has nothing to do with weight. Slim people get it. Active people get it. It is structural, which is exactly why creams and dry brushing never fix it.
To actually reduce cellulite, you need to target the fibrous bands pulling the skin downward, stimulate collagen in the dermis, and break down the fat pockets causing the lumps. Different technologies do different parts of that job. That is why CelluErase and Strike Cell exist as separate treatments and why choosing the right one matters.
Cellulite affects approximately 85-90% of post-pubertal women regardless of body weight, according to dermatology research. Topical treatments address the surface. Clinical treatments address the structure.
CelluErase: precision release for deep dimpling
How CelluErase works
CelluErase uses a micro-needling technique that physically severs the fibrous septae, the tight bands of connective tissue that tether skin down and create those deep dimples. Once those bands are released, the skin bounces back and sits smoothly. The treatment also triggers a collagen response in the treated area, which means results continue to improve for weeks after your appointment.
This is a targeted, precise treatment. The practitioner works spot by spot, which makes CelluErase particularly effective for stubborn, localised dimples rather than a broad area of general roughness.
Who CelluErase is best for
CelluErase is the right choice if you have:
- Deep, defined dimples that do not change whether you are standing or lying down
- Localised cellulite in specific spots, most commonly the outer thighs or bum
- Cellulite that has been present for years and has not responded to other treatments
- Firmer skin overall but visible indentations in targeted zones
If the dimples you are dealing with are structural and fixed, CelluErase goes directly to the source.
What results look like
You will see an immediate difference in the treated dimples after your first session. A course of six treatments at Snatch & Glow is recommended for lasting results, with each session building on the last as collagen remodelling continues beneath the surface.
Strike Cell: smoothing and restructuring for widespread texture
How Strike Cell works
Strike Cell uses a combination of mechanical percussion and radiofrequency energy to break down fat cells, stimulate lymphatic drainage, and firm the overlying skin. Where CelluErase is surgical in its precision, Strike Cell is more comprehensive in its reach. It heats the deeper layers of tissue while simultaneously working the surface, producing a smoother, tighter appearance across a larger treatment area.
The radiofrequency component is key. It contracts existing collagen fibres and encourages new collagen production, which means skin does not just look smoother, it actually becomes more resilient and firmer with each session.
Who Strike Cell is best for
Strike Cell is the right choice if you have:
- Widespread, generalised cellulite across larger areas like the full thighs, bum, or stomach
- A soft or loose skin texture alongside the dimpling
- Orange peel texture that shifts when you move or compress the skin
- Cellulite combined with mild skin laxity you want to address at the same time
- A preference for a treatment that covers more ground per session
If your concern is overall texture and tone rather than specific deep-set dimples, Strike Cell gives you broader coverage and the added benefit of skin tightening.
What results look like
After each Strike Cell session, skin feels firmer and looks noticeably smoother. The full course of six sessions at Snatch & Glow delivers cumulative results, with the most significant improvement visible around session three or four as the body's collagen response builds momentum.
CelluErase vs Strike Cell: side-by-side comparison
Here is a direct breakdown to make the decision straightforward:
CelluErase targets deep, fixed dimples through fibrous band release. Strike Cell smooths broader areas through radiofrequency and mechanical action. Both treatments start from £95 and are available as a course of six at Snatch & Glow for lasting cellulite removal results.
| Factor | CelluErase | Strike Cell |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Deep, fixed dimples | Widespread texture and laxity |
| Mechanism | Fibrous band release plus collagen stimulation | Radiofrequency plus mechanical percussion |
| Coverage | Spot-specific | Broad area treatment |
| Also addresses | Localised collagen remodelling | Skin firmness and tone |
| Course recommended | 6 sessions | 6 sessions |
| Starting price | From £95 | From £95 |
Can you combine CelluErase and Strike Cell?
Yes, and for many people this is the most effective approach. If you have both deep structural dimples in specific spots and broader surface texture across a larger area, combining the two treatments gives you comprehensive cellulite removal. Your practitioner at Snatch & Glow will assess your skin at your appointment and map out which areas benefit most from each technique.
This is not about upselling. It is about accuracy. Using only one treatment when your skin needs both means slower progress and less impressive results. The assessment takes minutes and means every session counts.
How many sessions do you actually need?
Both CelluErase and Strike Cell are recommended as a course of six sessions for lasting results. This is because cellulite is a structural issue, not a surface one. A single session creates change, but it is the cumulative effect of repeated treatments that produces genuine, long-term smoothing.
Between sessions, you will see progressive improvement. Most clients at Snatch & Glow report visible texture reduction from session two onwards, with the most dramatic change after completing the full course.
What to expect at your Snatch & Glow cellulite removal appointment
Your first appointment starts with a skin assessment. Your practitioner will look at the type, depth, and distribution of your cellulite and recommend either CelluErase, Strike Cell, or a combination of both. There is no downtime with either treatment. You can come in on a lunch break and go straight back to your day.
Sessions typically take under an hour. The skin may look slightly flushed immediately after treatment, and some people experience mild tenderness in treated areas for a day or two. Neither is a reason to pause your normal routine.
Both CelluErase and Strike Cell are available from £95 per session. A course of six delivers the strongest, most lasting results and works out more cost-effective per session when booked as a package.
Frequently asked questions
Is CelluErase or Strike Cell painful?
CelluErase involves a needling sensation and can feel more intense than Strike Cell, particularly over bony or sensitive areas. Most clients find it very manageable. Strike Cell feels like a warm, firm massage and is generally comfortable throughout. Your practitioner will adjust pressure and settings based on your comfort level.
How long do results from CelluErase and Strike Cell last?
With a full course of six sessions, results from both treatments last significantly longer than surface-level alternatives. CelluErase results in particular are long-lasting because the fibrous bands that are released do not regenerate. Maintenance sessions once or twice a year help sustain results for both treatments.
Can I have cellulite removal treatments if I have darker skin?
Yes. Both CelluErase and Strike Cell are suitable for all skin tones. Unlike some laser-based treatments that carry a higher risk of pigmentation changes on darker skin, these treatments do not rely on light-based energy that reacts differently to melanin levels.
Do I need to lose weight before starting cellulite removal treatments?
No. Cellulite is not a weight issue and these treatments are not weight loss treatments. CelluErase and Strike Cell address the structural causes of cellulite, which exist independently of body weight. You can start your course at any size.
How soon will I see results?
Most clients notice a difference after their first session, particularly with CelluErase where the release of fibrous bands is immediate. With Strike Cell, the skin tightening effect builds progressively. By session three in your course, the change is typically visible to others, not just you.
