Cellfina

What are the Best Ways to Get Rid of Cellulite?

Most women, no matter their size, shape, or age, have some type of cellulite. Cellfina is the first FDA approved procedure for adults designed to improve the appearance of cellulite by treating its structural cause. What is Cellfina?Cellfina is a one-time minimally invasive treatment that works by targeting the structure of cellulite bands that appear in the thighs, flanks, and buttocks. These tight bands pull down the skin, creating the dimpling you see on the surface of the skin. Once released with Cellfina, the treated skin becomes smoother. Cellfina has been proven to last up to two years and longer, in some cases. Though it is not a weight loss treatment, Laser Skin Care Center offers a 1 year warranty. If cellulite reappears n the treated area within a year from treatment, we will treat it again for free. How Long Does the Treatment Take? The procedure takes approximately about one hour for every 25 dimples. Most patients use Cellfina for cellulite on the back or side [...]

How Should I Prepare For My IPL Photofacial?

Intense Pulsed Light, also known as IPL, Fotofacial or Photofacial, delivers high-intensity pulses of light that penetrate your skin and get rid of brown spots (age spots) caused by sun damage and unwanted spider veins, while stimulating healthy, new collagen. To maximize effectiveness of your IPL photofacial, there are a few things you should do before and after the procedure. It is extremely important that the area being treated is not tanned or exposed to direct sunlight 2 weeks before or Sun exposure encourages the production of melanin, which can interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment by “protecting” the skin by absorbing the light’s energy. Be sure to use SPF even when stepping outside for a brief period. You should also moisturize regularly, and avoid smoking to promote better healing. There are some retinoid antibiotics that may cause skin sensitivity that your doctor may ask you to avoid. Hydration is extremely important for the skin and for recovery. After treatment, most patients experience a few days of redness (similar to a [...]

Is Cellfina™ Permanent?

Cellfina™ is the first FDA approved procedure for adults designed to improve the appearance of cellulite. This one-time, minimally invasive treatment works by targeting the structure of cellulite bands that appear in the thighs, flanks, and buttocks. The end result is smooth skin that lasts for at least two-three years and perhaps considerably longer based on long term follow up of the earliest studies. Studies showed that 93% of Cellfina patients were happy two years after their treatment. In 2016, it had been reported that even at 4 years, satisfaction ratings remained over 90%. Though the FDA cannot guarantee permanent results, most patients find that cellulite does not return if they maintain good exercise and diet habits. Our Cellfina Limited Warranty guarantees patient satisfaction for at least one year. If your results fade before the one-year mark or you are not happy with your results, we offer a free treatment. However, most patients never need a second Cellfina treatment. If, however, you develop more cellulite down the road, it’s possible to have more Cellfina [...]

Cellfina: Are Results Permanent?

California is home to a never-ending summer – and that means you can wear shorts, dresses, and other revealing clothing all year round.

If you are ready to get rid unsightly cellulite dimpling on the legs and buttocks then it’s time to introduce yourself to Cellfina at the Laser Skin Care Center in Long Beach, California! What Is Cellfina? Cellfina is an FDA-approved treatment designed to reduce the appearance of common symptoms of cellulite, including dimpling.  Despite the fact that 98% (percentage seems high-- maybe say "a majority") of women have cellulite, many patients feel uncomfortable and self-conscious wearing shorts, bathing suits or shorts skirts (not tank tops) or any other clothing that might reveal dimpling Cellfina uses microneedling technology to break up the collagen bands that contribute to significant dimpling.  Much like an elastic, these bands snap when the pressure is relieved – and that relief immediately reduces the appearance of cellulite.

Will Cellfina Work on the Front of the Legs?

It may be autumn again, but that doesn’t mean cellulite isn’t still on your mind.  After all, the holiday months are coming up – and that means spending your evenings in dresses, wanting to look your very best.  Plus, there are still several good beach days left, which means you’re still feeling self-conscious about how your thighs appear in shorts or a bathing suit. Fortunately, there’s Cellfina, a brand-new FDA-cleared treatment designed to target and treat the dimpled appearance common with cellulite.  Cellfina uses a patented microneedling technology to break up the connective bands underneath the skin.  Much like a rubber band snaps when tension is released, so too do these bands break apart and release the tension that contributes to dimpling.  As a result, cellulite appears smoother, with results lasting up to two years. In fact, in clinical studies, Cellfina patient satisfaction is 94% at 1 year and 96% at two years. Most patients only need one Cellfina treatment to see significant results.  Treatments are fast, with minimal side effects; most patients can drive themselves home afterwards. Cellfina treatments [...]
