Cellulite. This skin condition may be one of the most despised, but the dimpling effect is also one of the most common among women, typically affecting around 90 percent of the female population. Cellulite can be present in the young and the mature, the slim and the plump. Men can develop cellulite as well, though this occurs less often. To address this issue, a wide range of non-surgical cellulite reduction treatments are on the market; however, they typically offer minimal to no benefit and might last as briefly as a few hours. Fortunately, if you’re tired of seeing “orange peel” or “cottage cheese” on your legs and buttocks, there’s a brand new, FDA-cleared, minimally invasive procedure available from the experienced team at Liu Plastic Surgery that can deliver three year results: The Cellfina™ System.
Cellfina™ is a minimally invasive procedure that is designed to precisely release the connective tissue that causes the dimpling effect known as cellulite. The handheld device uses an apparatus approximately the size of a needle to provide targeted treatment to your area of concern, fraying and eventually liberating the connection of the bands. During the process, you may feel light pressure; however, most patients have reported little discomfort. The treatment typically will last around 45 minutes, though the amount of time will vary depending on the size and the number of areas you would like addressed. In about three days you should begin to see a reduction in cellulite, and these effects have been known to last up to a year or longer. Regular maintenance treatments from our practice can help to extend the benefits beyond this time frame. Some bruising or tenderness may occur, which is normal, and these concerns should subside quickly.
Cellfina™ is one of the most innovative and long-lasting cellulite treatments available. If you have additional questions about the Cellfina™ System, or if you would like to schedule a consultation, please contact us today.
