Will There Be Bruising or Other Visible Side Effects from a Cellulaze Treatment?
Thank you for your question. There will be some bruising in swelling. Similar to Smart Lipo. Usually the bruising is gone in less than a week. You start seeing improvement after about a week, with best results at around 3 months. Results still look good at 1.5 - 2 years after the procedure.

Will there be bruising or other visual side effects from a Cellulaze treatment?
Yes, as in all minimally invasive procedures, there will always be some minor bruising and swelling that will subside in about a week and you may feel a little sore but if done by a Certified Plastic Surgeon, the pain should be minimal. As far as "other visual side effects," that would be increasingly smoother skin over the course of the next few months. The incision points are so small that for most people they will be virtually invisible.

Bruising with Cellulaze
There will be some bruising, swelling, and an altered feeling to the skin post procedure. All will dissipate over a few weeks time. Remember, Cellulaze treats more superficially which can increase your chances of more visible bruising - this is normal and will subside with time, so don't worry, it will resolve itself quickly.

There is bruising and swelling and moderate pain following Cellulaze treatment.
The areas that are treated by Cellulaze to reduce the appearance of Cellulite will bruise and swell for 1-2 days. If you are careful with salt intact and you take it easy by walking often but not aerobically, the swelling and bruising resolves fairly quickly. Compression garments really help to reduce the swelling.

Side effects of Cellulaze
Bruising is part of the normal post-operative course with the Cellulaze procedure. In addition there is localized swelling of the tissue, which can sometimes make the cellulite appear to lok worse. Most patients also notice numbness in the area that does resolve over time. I would recommend you seek a consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon that is experienced with Cellulaze.
Good luck in your endeavors

Side Effects/Recovery from Cellulaze
There is bruising after Cellulaze...for some patients it is surprisingly minimal and for others covers the entire treatment area. There is really no way to predict if you will bruise a little or quite a bit. Bruising generally lasts 1-3 weeks. There is swelling and tenderness as well following the procedure. The swelling can make the treated area and adjacent areas appear more lumpy and worse than before treatment, so be prepared to not be bikini ready for a while...

The Potential Risks of Cellulaze are minimal.
The side and forward firing Cellulaze fiber is inserted just below the skin. It is done under local anesthesia with oral sedation. Because of the location of very small vessels in this area, some bruising and swelling can occur. Most people having Cellulaze are back to normal activity in 24 hours. The results continue to improve over 6 months to 1 year.

Cellulaze
Bruising is not a side effect of cellulaze. It is the normal part of the healing process. It can take 2-4 weeks for the bruising to get better.
