It is estimated that more than 80 per cent of women aged 21 years and older have cellulite. While there is nothing inherently wrong with having cellulite, many people still want to get rid of it. There are a number of exercises and home remedies that promise to treat cellulite, but most of these solutions do not live up to their promise. Fortunately, at The Cosmetic Vein & Laser Center, we are thrilled to announce that we offer Cellfina®, a new FDA-approved technology for eliminating cellulite.
Below is everything you need to know about Cellfina® for cellulite.
What Is Cellfina®?
This is a new minimally-invasive technology for eliminating cellulite on the thighs, buttocks and other parts of the body. The FDA has approved this revolutionary treatment as the best solution for smoothing the surface of affected skin for an improved appearance.
How Does Cellfina® Work?
This new technology targets connective tissue fibers, which are the primary structural cause of cellulite. During treatment, the Cellfina® system penetrates the surface of the skin.
What Happens during the Treatment?
For convenience and safety, Cellfina® must be completed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. The whole procedure takes less than an hour to complete, but the treatment time varies depending on the area being treated and the amount of cellulite targeted.
Will I Need to Take Time off Work?
There is limited downtime associated with this non-invasive technology for cellulite. You may experience some tenderness or soreness after the treatment, but these side effects resolve quickly.
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
Most patients see results two to three days after their treatment session. With regular excises and a good diet, the results can last up to three years.
How Long Does It Take to Recover?
Mild swelling and bruising is common after treatment but usually takes two weeks to disappear. During this time, doctors recommend you wear compression garments to make swelling and bruising disappear more quickly.
