What is Cellulaze?
The newest procedure for treatment of cellulite is the Cellulaze. It was just approved this week (1/30/12). It is a laser treatment that divides the fiber that cause the puckering of the skin, it also stimulates collagen production to increase the thickness of the skin, and it destroys protruding fat cells in the thinned skin of cellulite depressions.

Cellulaze
Cellulaze is a laser sold in Europe and awaiting FDA clearance in the U.S.. manufactured by Cynosure Inc.. It is unique because it has a "side firing" action which helps break up adhesions of the skin (i.e., the cottage cheese look of cellulite) and its 1440 wavelength results in skin tightening and contraction for smooth contouring.

Cellulaze Treatment
Cellulaze utilizes a 1440 nm wavelength laser to accomplish 3 things: 1) melt away fat bulging out 2) break up fibrous septae (attachments) that create the indentations and 3) help thicken the dermis (skin) to prevent future recurrence. The procedure can take between 60-90 minutes and can be completed under local or just IV sedation (depending on the length of your procedure and number of areas being treated). To see your final results takes between 3-6 months. You can...

What is Cellulaze
Thank you for the question.
Many people are frustrated that they can’t get rid of cellulite, no matter how hard they try.
Here’s a fact that may surprise you. Cellulite is actually caused by factors outside your control. Many believe it’s a fat problem, which can be addressed through diet and exercise. But fat isn’t the only culprit. Cellulite is a structural problem below the skin. And while you may have tried every treatment possible, you’ve never had...

What is Cellulaze? The answer to cellulite, finally
Cellulaze is a laser treatment for cellulite based on the Smartlipo Triplex platform of Cynosure corporation. The technology is similar to Smartlipo, in that it uses a laser to melt fat and heat tissue. Since cellulite is a condition right under the skin surface, the technology has been developed to specifically treat the structures just under the skin that cause cellulite. These are: 1) bulging fat that causes the mounds or hills of cellulite. 2) the restrictive bands or septae that...

Cellulaze works at the root of the cellulite problem
Cellulaze treatments attack the root of the cellulite problems:
Dimpling is removed by laser-release of the bands that pull down on the skin
Bulges are decreased by directly smoothing them with laser energy
Skin is firmed up by laser energy application
So far the results have been long lasting. The FDA trial showed improvements that increase over a few months and are stable after one year.

What causes cellulite?
Cellulaze treats the components that cause cellulite:
thinning skin
fat herniating into the deep layer of skin
fibrous bands which create dimpling
Cellulaze is capable of addressing each one of the components which cause cellulite. It is a 1440 nm bidirectional laser which is introduced beneath the skin to treat each of the components.
It can typically be performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient and the maximal results are visible by about three...

What is Celulaze anyway?
Celulaze is a new method for the long-lasting treatment of cellulite. It was recently FDA approved and consists of a special fiber and wavelength to treat this problem. It can be performed under local anesthesia or in combination with liposuction. The laser fiber doesn't transmit the laser energy through the tip, but rather from the side. This side firing fiber lets us know the heels of cellulite, divide the bands that make the dimpling, and then return it facing the under surface of the...

Cellulaze is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that reduces the appearnace of cellulite.
Cellulaze is the name of an effective and safe surgical treatment that can reduce the appearance of cellulite in healthy candidates who have diet and exercise resistant cellulite. After we decide on which areas to treat, I will draw and map out the areas to be treated . The process involves passing a tiny laser fiber under the skin to treat superficial bulging fat, septae that pull the skin down forming a dimple and the skin itself.

What is Cellulaze
Cellulaze is the first cellulite treatment that has made sense to me. It is a minimally invasive laser procedure for cellulite reduction.
Cellulaze attacks cellulite from 3 different angles. The first is the fat bulges, the second the bands that pull down the skin, and the third is tightening of the skin. Attacking cellulite on 3 different fronts seems to lead to long lasting cellulite reduction.

Cellulaze for long lasting treatment of cellulite
I would recommend Cellulaze for your cellulite.
Cellulaze is the first FDA approved minimally invasive, one-time treatment for cellulite. It utilizes a 1440 nm side-firing laser fiber optic to treat the three main causes of cellulite: It breaks down the fatty bulges, then cuts the fibrous septae that cause dimpling, then finally stimulates the dermis to shrink and thicken in order to improve the look of you cellulite areas.
Good luck in your...

What's Cellulaze?
Cellulaze is the first ever truly definitive treatment for cellulite. Cellulaze, though minimally invasive, is a surgical procedure. In short, a small cannula is insert through the skin that has a laser that is fired through it via a fiber optic cable. The laser cuts through the tethered, fibrous areas, helps to flattened the lumps of fat and improve the skin's integrity by thickening it and improving elasticity. The overall result is smoother skin. Cellulaze will not...

Cellulaze--Description and Experience with the procedure
Cellulaze is a minimally invasive single treatment/procedure that utilizes a specifically designed fiberoptic laser that can treat all of the anatomical features that cause cellulite--the bumpy superficial fat (elevations), the dimpled skin depressions (fibrous bands known as septa), and the thin transparent skin (skin atrophy). It is a single treatment with clinically proven outcomes that can last 1 to 2 years, and maybe even longer. It was FDA approved in late January 2012....

Cellulaze is the only FDA approved treatment for cellulite
Cellulaze is a treatment for long term correction of cellulite. Some argue that it may be a permanent correction. In essence Cellulaze is performed under local anesthesia similar to a liposuction procedure. A canula with a laser is inserted to break the fat cells, destroy the fibrous bands, and thicken the dermis. Results have been very positive, and our patients love it.

Cure for cellulite-Cellulaze?
Treatments for cellulite have been around for many years. The problem was that they were not permanent and they required repetitive treatments that when one stopped the treatment the cellulite came back.

Basically, the laser is changing the anatomy under the skin to get the results. This is exciting because I know have something to offer...

Cellulaze
Cellulaze is treatment intended to help reduce cellulite. The machine is a laser assisted cannula (similar to laser liposuction ) which is used to break up the points tethering the skin down to the muscle fascia. At the same time the laser can melt some of the fat in the same area and reduce the volume of the surrounding fat. I always recommend caution when it comes to new technology as you do not want to be the first person to get it done. Cellulaze is a medical...

What is Cellulaze?
Cellulaze is a new FDA approved revolutionary treatment for cellulite. It is a laser treatment that separates the fibers that are attached to the skin. It allows the fibers to reattach without the dimpling, it deplanes the fat cells,and at the same time increases collagen production on the undersurface of the skin to thicken it. All resulting in smoother looking skin surface.
