2 Weeks after Cellulaze

Greetings~ Though it probably seems like an eternity already, two weeks is still really early in your healing process and no where near your final result. It is totally normal to still be sore, bruised, swollen and even for the cellulite and treated areas to still look bumpy and strange. (The same or even worse than before the procedure) As you continue to heal, you'll most likely notice that all the things you see now that concern you will have resolved. Continue wearing... more

Best of luck.

This might be a temporary result of the laser treating just underneath the skin, but I have never seen this in my patients. The legs will be sore from the procedure as the laser, and will take some time to recover. Most patients have discomfort for 1-2 months after the surgery. Your surgeon should have discussed with you that the procedure will take 3-6 months to see results, and that further improvement in the contours of the treated areas will be seen for the next year. more

Spider veins after Cellulaze

Two weeks after your treatment is very early to make any judgements on your results. Hopefully, it was emphasized to you that the appearance of the cellulite may look worse before it gets better. You should start seeing results at about 3 months. The development of "spider veins" can occur due to the development of some superficial blood vessels and capillaries in response to the healing process. These are not true spider veins and will often regress. If they do... more
