The Cellfina™ Procedure
At a consultation we will examine the areas you wish to target to ensure you have cellulite (as opposed to skin laxity). We will mark the precise location of dimples and indentations targeted for treatment areas. We will take pictures and review the treatment plan with you. Should you wish to proceed, we will schedule a treatment date and provide you with more detailed information about post-treatment care.
The day of your procedure, we will mark and photograph the dimples and indentations, comparing them to the photos from your consultation. You will then lie down, put in your earbuds and listen to your favorite music (selfies are encouraged!). We apply a local anesthetic to desensitize the treatment. We then place the Cellfina™ device over the first target area, apply mild suction, and use a slender needle to release the fibrous bands beneath the skin that cause the appearance of cellulite.
Once all of the areas of dimpling have been treated, the skin will quickly resettle, smoothing itself out within a period of a few days after treatment. You may experience some bruising after treatment, which dissipates on its own. We recommended that you relax for about 24 hours before returning to your usual routine. Typically, patients report only mild discomfort.
