Cellulite is a skin condition which afflicts many women today, and while very few treatments have any influence on its effects. You know what it looks like: dimpled, uneven skin that appears on your thighs and other parts of your body. If you are one of the many women who are afflicted with cellulite, and you desire to reduce its effects, then schedule a consult with us to discuss your options.
Cellulite affects the vast majority of women, usually after puberty. Many believe cellulite to be a fat problem that can be eliminated through diet and exercise. But as you may have learned through experience, you can lessen the appearance of cellulite by losing weight, but you can’t get rid of it completely. And crash diets can actually make it worse.
It’s not your fault. Fat isn’t the problem. It’s a structural issue below the skin that only your physician can treat. That’s why men typically don’t get cellulite. The structure of their skin is different from women’s. This also explains why even very thin women can get cellulite, and why some heavier women don’t.
There are three structural problems that cause the appearance of cellulite. First, the connective tissue bands beneath your skin surrounding fat cells can become tight and inflexible. Second, enlarged pockets of fat trapped by the rigid bands push up against skin. Finally, thin skin makes the appearance of cellulite even worse. Other factors associated with cellulite are aging, heredity, hormones, weight and gender differences in skin architecture. That’s why any effective cellulite treatment has to address more than fat and the surface of skin.
Cellulaze from Cynosure, is the only treatment that attacks the structural problems beneath the skin that cause cellulite. A minimally invasive laser-assisted procedure, Cellulaze is a new anti-cellulite treatment proven to increase your skin’s natural depth for a smoother, healthier look that lasts. All from just one simple anti-cellulite treatment.
After the procedure, the treatment areas are carefully bandaged, and patients may wear compression garments to reduce swelling and support optimal healing. It’s recommended to have a responsible adult drive the patient home after the treatment.
With just one session, Cellulaze provides lasting improvements by addressing cellulite at its structural root. As collagen rebuilds and fat pockets diminish, patients can expect continued improvements for up to a year after the procedure.
Cellulaze offers a groundbreaking solution for addressing cellulite, targeting its root causes beneath the skin. This FDA-approved, minimally invasive laser procedure delivers a variety of benefits for patients seeking smoother, firmer skin with minimal downtime.
Key Benefits of Cellulaze:
Cellulaze is an excellent treatment for individuals looking to reduce the appearance of cellulite and achieve smoother, firmer skin. While the procedure can benefit many, certain factors make someone a particularly good candidate.
Healthy and Stable Weight: The best results are seen in individuals who maintain a stable body weight and are not seeking Cellulaze as a weight-loss solution.
Mild to Moderate Cellulite: Patients with visible depressions or dimples in areas such as the thighs, buttocks, hips, or other body parts are great candidates.
Good Skin Elasticity: Some skin elasticity is important for the skin to tighten and contract properly after the procedure. Patients with poor elasticity may not achieve optimal results and could benefit more from alternative treatments like a thigh lift.
Realistic Expectations: Understanding what Cellulaze can achieve—improvements in skin texture and firmness—is essential to ensuring satisfaction with the results.
Every patient’s body and goals are unique, which is why a consultation with our experienced team is essential. During your visit, we’ll assess your skin condition, discuss your goals, and help determine if Cellulaze is the best fit for your needs. If not, we’ll guide you toward another option that better aligns with your desired outcome.
Cellulaze is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia, requiring relatively little preparation compared to more invasive treatments. However, it is still a medical procedure, and ensuring the best results requires thoughtful preparation. Specific instructions are provided in your consultation, but there are some general guidelines.
To maximize the benefits of your Cellulaze treatment, follow these important preparation steps:
Quit Smoking:
Patients who smoke will need to stop at least two weeks before the procedure and remain smoke-free for at least two weeks after. Smoking can interfere with healing and negatively impact the results of your treatment.
Medication Adjustments:
You may need to stop taking certain medications, including anti-inflammatory drugs or supplements that could increase bleeding. We’ll review your current medications during your consultation and provide specific recommendations.
Custom Instructions:
Based on your unique health profile and needs, you may receive additional preparation instructions tailored to your situation. Be sure to follow these guidelines carefully to ensure a smooth and successful treatment.
If you have any questions or concerns about preparing for your Cellulaze treatment, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to help you every step of the way.
After your Cellulaze treatment, a brief recovery period is necessary to achieve the best results. Most patients find the downtime to be minimal, but following post-treatment care instructions is crucial for optimizing results and comfort.
What to Expect Post-Treatment
Time Off Work: Plan to take 1–2 days off from work to allow your body to rest and heal. Many patients schedule their procedure toward the end of the week to take advantage of the weekend for recovery.
Swelling and Bruising: Some swelling and bruising around the treatment site are normal and should subside naturally within a few days.
Compression Garment: To minimize swelling and bruising and improve contour, you’ll be provided with a compression garment to wear over the treated area. This garment is typically worn for a couple of weeks and is easily concealed under clothing.
Additional Recovery Tips
Avoid Strenuous Activities: While you can return to light work or activities after 1–2 days, avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least a week. Gradually ease back into more rigorous activities as your body regains full strength.
Incorporate Gentle Movement: Light stretching and low-impact exercise can help promote circulation, speed up recovery, and enhance your results.
Maintain Healthy Habits: Following a stable diet and exercise routine post-treatment supports the longevity of your results.
If you have questions or concerns during your recovery, our team is always here to help. Whether you need guidance on post-treatment care or want to discuss your long-term results, don’t hesitate to reach out to our offices for assistance.
