What is cellulite?

Cellulite is a degenerative condition creating dimples and depressions within layers of the skin usually in abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks and sometimes arms. Cellulite is caused by several physiological changes as women age. These changes include an increase in the number or size of fat cells pushing up through the tissue beneath the skin; thin connective tissue under the skin that becomes stretched  or distended as a result of aging or weight gain; and undulations caused by hardening of tissue underneath the skin. It’s estimated that 85% of all women over the age of 20 have cellulite.

Cellulaze™ Laser – How it works:

With just one treatment, Cellulaze™ Laser removes cellulite from where it begins. Using a very small cannula (a narrow tube about the size of the tip of a pen), the Cellulaze™ laser is inserted under the skin directing a controlled laser thermal energy to the treatment zone. The laser diminishes the lumpy pockets of fat, releases the areas of skin depression and increases the elasticity and thickness of the skin.  Because the cannula is so small, Cellulaze™ is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia.

Frequently asked Questions

I’ve tried everything to get rid of cellulite. How do I know Cellulaze really works?

Cellulaze is backed by many years of clinical research. Studies have shown it increases the thickness of your skin by 25% and the elasticity of your skin by 29%—significant claims that haven't been made by any other treatments. Thicker and more elastic skin can help flatten and smooth the skin surface to improve the appearance of cellulite. In addition, 93% of patients surveyed were satisfied or very satisfied with their results at one year after their procedure, and all would recommend the Cellulaze cellulite laser treatment to a friend.

What does the procedure feel like?

Because the area is numbed with local anesthesia, there is little to no discomfort during the procedure. You may feel a light pressure, but it is a mild sensation. Following a Cellulaze cellulite laser treatment, you may experience some aches, much like after a physical workout.

How long does the Cellulaze procedure take?

On average, this cellulite laser procedure will take one to two hours. This is dependent on the size of the areas to be treated.

How many treatments are necessary?

Results are achieved with just one Cellulaze cellulite laser treatment. Your results will continue to improve over the next three to twelve months.

How long do the results last?

Clinical studies have shown results can last for one year or more. However, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen to continue to enjoy Cellulaze cellulite laser results.

What's the recovery time?

The Cellulaze cellulite laser treatment is a minimally invasive procedure which usually requires only local anesthesia. Some light bruising can occur, but you'll be able to return to normal activities within a day or two. We may ask you to wear a compression garment for a short period after treatment.
