Disappointed So Far -When Do You Start Seeing Results with Cellulaze?

I know full results take 3 to 6 months. But when do you start seeing results? And I am not talking about swelling that masks the cellulite, and people are mistaking this ( like me) for improvement in the first month. I am five weeks post-op. I just want to know that I didn't throw $7400 down the drain. Because that is what I am feeling now. My doctor was in the trials.

When do see the results for Cellulaze

I think you see results after the initial swelling starts to subside. The swelling makes everything look great the first week or two. Then you can see or feel some unevenness and perhaps some lumps under the skin. If the cellulite was Grade III, which means a lot of bulging fat and retracted areas, more energy was used to lower the fat and release the septal bands. That takes time to heal because the areas of fat reduction will be firm for a month or two and gradually... more

Be patient for results with Cellulaze

Hello and thanks for the question. This question comes up often here. During my consultations with patients I make sure they understand that the results will not show up immediately, and can look worse because of the swelling. The results start to improve by the 3-6 months, and can continue for up to a year after the surgery. Please have patience with the procedure, and I am sure you will be pleased once it has taken affect. Best of luck. Robert... more

Results from Cellulaze

Though Cellulaze is minimally invasive and you may feel like you are done healing from the procedure, you've only just begun. It really does take 3-6 months to see the improvement...Swelling needs to subside, tissue evens out, new collagen builds, tissue thickens...the body needs time. I know it gets difficult to be patient when you've already spent a lot of money and gone through surgery but that's what's involved now. Talk to the surgeon that performed your procedure... more

Seeing Results After Cellulaze

Results are generally achieved with just one Cellulaze cellulite laser treatment. Your results will continue to improve over the next three to twelve months. Since only 5 weeks have passed since your treatment, do not be discouraged. Your results will reveal themselves gradually over the next few months.

Cellulite results

Every patient is different with the improvement of their cellulite; some may see a result earlier than others. You really need to give it the full 3-6 months to see a result.

Cellulite will improve over several months post Cellulaze

In all of our studies for Cellulaze, there was expected swelling and bruising for the first several weeks. Resolution of the cellulite is first visible at or about 3 months ( althoug some will be faster)..This can continue to improve out to 6 months. Part of this is due to the thickening of the skin that takes place from the heat stimulation of these cells. I would disgree with the comment that although the 1440 wavelength has been around, the side firing fiber is unique to... more

Beware of new machines promising cellulite cure

Cellulite is a complex problem and historically, no claims regarding longterm treatment of cellulite have stood the test of time. The 1440 nm wavelength in Cellulaze is nothing new and it has been used in other machines in much the same manner with subcutaneous delivery using a fiber for at least a couple of years. The best one can hope for based on available information is temporary reduction or improvement of cellulite if the procedure is performed correctly and on an appropriate candidate. more
