Find a providerNo matter how hard you diet and exercise, cellulite can remain. That’s because it’s not just related to fat but a structural problem that lives below the skin. Cellulite prevents you from showcasing the beautiful you both inside and out. It can also affect your self-confidence and prevent you from wearing the clothing you love.
CellulazeTM is a minimally invasive laser treatment designed to attack and rejuvenate the underlying structures of the skin. A noticeable difference can be achieved after just one treatment and results are long-lasting.
The procedure consists of inserting a very small tube and laser fibre which heats up the underlying structures of the skin. The laser energy melts the fat and releases the fibrous bands that pull down on the skin. It’s these bands that create that annoying dimpled appearance. This process also stimulates collagen production, which can improve skin thickness and elasticity.
Since an anaesthetic fluid is fed to the area via a small, thin tube, treatments are very comfortable. The entire treatment won’t take longer than 1.5 to 2 hours to complete but this can vary between patients.
Results can be achieved after just one Cellulaze session – this may differ between patients though. Patients must also be aware that the final results of their treatments will only be visible after about 6 months. You will start noticing a change after the first week though.
Cellulaze delivers the best results for women who are not significantly overweight but have mild to moderate cellulite on their thighs. Cellulaze treatments are also better suited to mild forms of cellulite. Your provider will help you set realistic expectations and determine whether you are an ideal candidate during your consultation. Your medical history will also need to be reviewed and your provider will need more information on your goals. Patients must also be willing to maintain a healthy lifestyle after treatment to prolong their results.
Cellulaze is the result of extensive clinic research, data and white papers that span over three years. Not only do Cellulaze results speak for themselves but subsequent peer-reviewed papers and presentations instil further confidence in the technology. Patients safety and lasting results are at the core of all CynoSure systems, including Cellulaze. Your provider will take you through any potential risks and complications associated with treatments during your consultation.
Because the area is numbed with local anaesthesia, minimal discomfort is experienced during your Cellulaze procedure. You may feel a light pressure, but it is a mild sensation. Following a Cellulaze laser treatment, you may experience some aches, much like after a physical workout.
Clinical studies have shown results can last for one year or more . However, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen to continue enjoying the results of your Cellulaze treatment.
Patients are free to return to their usual routine after a day or two. Mild bruising and swelling can be expected but this will subside relatively quickly. You may also need to wear a compression garment for about a week, which will help alleviate any swelling.
While cellulite affects both men and women, women tend to develop cellulite more often. Cellulite can be caused by lumpy fat under the skin or is the result of bands of connective tissue pulling on the skin. It can also be caused by thin skin, which will naturally show imperfections more easily. It’s very common for cellulite to be genetic, which means if you have family members that struggle with it, chances are you will too.
There are a lot of products on the market that claim to get rid of cellulite. This includes everything from creams and lotions to massage. However, most of these treatments focus solely on the skin’s surface. Cellulaze is a laser treatment that actually targets the structures underneath the skin, resulting in a smoother surface and longer-lasting results. Patients are welcome to use topical treatments in conjunction with Cellulaze sessions. These options can be discussed during your consultation though.
Minimally invasive cellulite treatments only require very small incisions. With the right care, there will be little to no scarring. Scars also fade over time, so this should not be a cause for concern. Your provider will leave you with scar prevention tips following your procedure based on your skin type.
