I Have Cellulite and I Want to Get Rid of It for Good, but I Also Want to Lose Inches?

I am 25, 5'4" and weigh about 154 lbs. I have cellulite that I wish to get rid of, but also would like to reduce some sizes on my legs, waist and tummy... I exercise and try to eat healthy, but I have not noticed any more changes! I am unsure if I should go for cellulaze or get a smart lipo! I just had an awesome consultation, but I forgot to ask this!

Can you do laser cellulite treatment and liposuction at the same time?

Yes, you can do both procedures at the same time. My personal preference is to do the Cellulaze laser first for the cellulite treatment and than go on and do the liposuction with the technique that best suits the patient (traditional lipo, VASER or Tickle lipo). Although Smartlipo and Cellulaze lasers are by Cynosure, they treat different things. The Cellulaze laser treats the cellulite by melting the fat right under the skin superficially, dividing the fibrous sptae which creates the... more

The Cellulaze Laser by Cynopsure is the best way to permanently remove cellulite

The Cellulaze Laser is the best way to permanently remove cellulite. This has been carefully studies in FDA trials over about a number of years. The laser was approved for permanent cellulite treatment about a year ago. The treatment requires a lot of skill on the part of the laser surgeon to achieve an optimum result. The new Side Fire Fiber provides a good method for reducing the herniated fat bulges, releasing the fibrous septae and tightening the skin. We... more

Cellulaze & Smartlipo

It sounds like you would be a good candidate for both Cellulaze and Smartlipo. Through one minimally-invasive procedure, Cellulaze has the ability to smooth out skin and keep it cellulite-free; while Smartlipo helps remove the fat while tightening the skin.

Cellulaze for long lasting treatment of cellulite

Thanks for your question, Estefy1313. I would recommend Cellulaze. 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. I hope this... more

Cellulaze and Liposuction

Cellulaze and liposuction can not be performed in the same body area at the same time. The procedures must be separated by 3-6 months. The order of which procedure to be performed is up to the surgeon and the patient. In general, Cellulaze will be performed first but that is not an absolute. Cellulaze will not remove inches. Good luck!

Cellulaze and Smart Lipo

Cellulaze is a great treatment for cellulite and can tightening skin. Smart Lipo can help to contour areas of the body where the issue is unwanted fat but if the areas are the same, you may need to separate the procedures. Cellulaze alone won't reduce size, as it does not remove fat or any tissue. Both procedures are best if your weight is relatively stable and is not a substitute for healthy eating and exercise. If you don't maintain a healthy lifestyle following... more

I Have Cellulite and I Want to Get Rid of It for Good, but I Also Want to Lose Inches?

In my protocol I DO NOT preform Cellulaze and Smart Lipo Triplex on the same body area at the same operation. So you need to decide which bothers you more.

Cellulite and Lose Inches

Unfortunately, Cellulaze is the procedure for reduction of cellulite but it cannot be done at the same time as liposuction in the same area. Usually the two procedures would need to be separated by 6 months. This would allow you to treat the extra fat and then come back to clean up the cellulite.

Cellulaze to Get Rid of Cellulite for Good

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 post their procedure, and all would recommend the... more

Consider cellulaze for Cellulite

Cellulaze is a FDA approved one time treatment that 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).
