How Long Does Numbness Last After Cellulaze?
The numbness seems to be fading very slowly after having Cellulaze done. I would be curious how long this side effect can last, it was never mentioned in the Cellulaze video.

How Long Does Numbness Last After Cellulaze?
Great question! Yes the CELLULAZE literature has not made mention. So after 50+ cases, the longest out 2 months+ the "numbness" in in 100% of my patients and lasting for all this time but slowly subsiding. Must be due to the layering of the cutaneous nerve endings and their regrowth. Hey Good idea for another study. Regards Miami

Numbness following Cellulaze may last a few week to a few months.
When Cellulaze treatments are performed fine nerve endings going to the skin are removed along with the cellulite bands. These will grow back and a few weeks to a few months in almost all cases.

#Cellulaze and numbness
Numbness after Cellulaze can last up to 4 weeks. it depends on the amount of the anesthetic fluid use and the area that was treated. if a large surface area was covered it might take longer to have the complete sensation back. if youre still numb after 4-6 weeks please seek attention form the doctor who did your procedure

Numbness after Cellulaze
Hello and thanks for your question. Since the side-firing laser is right underneath the skin, the nerve endings are temporarily disrupted that populate the skin. Sometimes they can come back with more sensitivity, which resolves usually within six months. Best of luck.

Numbness after Cellulaze
Thank you for your question. Numbness can last anywhere from a few days, weeks, or months depending on the patient. Each patient is different, and therefore heal at at different pace and in different ways. Numbness is a very common side effect of Cellulaze. In time, it will subside. Best of luck.

Numbness after Cellulaze
Numbness is not abnormal after Cellulaze. Though incisions are quite small, what happens beneath the surface of the skin is quite extensive and can easily effect the tiny nerve fibers that reside there. It may take weeks to months, but normal sensation should return without issue.
Good luck~

Numbness after Cellulaze
Numbness is relatively common in any procedure where the small nerve endings to the skin may be disrupted. In procedures such as a tummy tuck, patients can have a numb tummy for more than a year. In the Cellulaze procedure, the laser is placed just beneath the skin, so many of the nerve endings will be injured. Most of them will grow back with time. The length of time will vary from patient to patient and will depend on how large an area was treated. It may take...
