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 are designed to treat cellulite on the buttocks and thighs; However, many patients ask if Cellfina can be used to treat cellulite that appears on the front of the thighs. The answer is – it depends.
Cellfina doesn’t treat all types of cellulite; rather, it treats dimply cellulite. Cellulite in the fronts of the thighs often has a wavy appearance; Cellfina can treat this type of cellulite, but it may not have as dramatic of an effect. However, skin-tightening treatments – including Ultherapy – can help temporarily tighten and tone the appearance of thighs. Patients should explore combining these treatments to see maximum results.
