Cellulite Treatment (Cellfina)
Cellulite is very common among all ages, skin types, and body types. It is caused by fibrous connective cords that bind the skin to muscle through the layer of fat cells. Weight loss and exercise can help improve the appearance of cellulite. However, weight loss alone usually does not address the issue of cellulite. Cellfina is the latest and longest lasting FDA approved treatment for cellulite.
Cellulite Treatment by Cellfina Q&A
What is Cellfina?
The Cellfina treats the primary structural cause of cellulite—the connective bands woven throughout fat in the thighs and buttocks. These tight bands pull down the skin, creating the puckering you see on the surface of the skin. Similar to a rubber band under tension, once released, the treated skin bounces back to smooth itself out in as little as three days. This one-time cellulite treatment is performed at my office in CosmeSurge Dubai Marina office in 1-2 hours.
How does it work?
Cellfina combines a proven approach with innovative, proprietary technology to treat the primary structural cause of cellulite. First, cellulite dimples are marked. Then, I deliver a local numbing agent followed by the treatment itself. Afterward, patients are able to go about their day, but may want to take it easy for up to 24 hours. Results are visible in as little as three days and those results are still evident three years after treatment.
What is the downtime?
After the Cellfina cellulite treatment, you can go about your day, but may want to take it easy for up to 24 hours. There have been no serious adverse events associated with Cellfina. The most common side effects reported by patients in the FDA-cleared pivotal study were soreness and bruising. Over 90% of patients had no bruising at four weeks after the cellulite procedure.
How soon will I see the improvement?
Results can be seen in as little as three days. In the pivotal study, patient satisfaction was 85 percent at three months, 94 percent at one year, 96 percent at two years and 93 percent at 3 years, surpassing the patient satisfaction rates of other leading cellulite treatments.
Is Cellfina a surgical procedure?
Cellfina does not involve an operating room or general anesthesia. It relies on a minimally invasive, small needle-sized device to treat the cellulite-causing bands just beneath the surface of the skin.
How long does the result last?
Patients in the pivotal study showed significant improvement shortly after the treatment, with results lasting at least three years—the longest FDA clearance for a cellulite treatment.
How much does the Cellfina Treatment cost?
