Cellulaze Consults - Chicago, Illinois

Oh no. They are all in the Chicago area.

Did you have it done, Carol? I'd fly to CHicago easypeasy for legs I didn't have to hide!

Yes I did have it done. Chicago is not the only city that has doctors that do the cellulaze procedure. So you don't have to easypeasy fly out here.

I live in Chicago. Why would I fly to Chicago? Don't understand the one post you have on realself.

So far Chicago seems the closest to Minneapolis, that has MD's doing the procedure. I've been searching on line but can't locate any in MN. Maybe more will get trained soon! Thanks!

Hey Minnesota "easypeasy" lol ...have you found anyone in MN doing Cellulaze yet?

I have not found anyone in MN doing this yet.

If I only did the front of my thighs, it would be $5000, and If later I did the outer thighs, it would be $5000, plus another area $2500. So it would be cheaper if I did all the areas at the same time, but who has $9,500?

dirshaze, have you gone to any consults in the chicago area yet?

dlrshaze, according to this Q&A only 1 treatment is needed.
Can't wait to hear more stories from people who have actually had this done!

Thanks dirshaze. That's nice of you. I see Dr.Ken Stein tomorrow. I know what you mean. It's going to be hard to pick a doc. I'll keep you posted on Dr.Stein.

How was your appoiment with Dr. Stein?

I'm sad, because even though I saw a wonderful doctor today, Dr.Stein. Very friendly and trustworthy, and he has experience with Smart Lipo, which is another type of laser on the legs for lipo, which i think is important to have some type of laser experience. And he said he was the first in the Chicago area to do Smart Lipo. He said he could really help me, and I was super excited. I liked him the best and was ready to cancel my other two appointments. However, when i added up all the prices, it would come to $11,300! That would be for front and outer legs and buttocks. I don't understand how on the web, cellulaze is advertised between $5000 and $7,000! i don't know where people are getting this from?? I'm really upset. How can i justify paying that kind of money for cellulite treatment. I don't know if these prices are the going rate in the Chicago area,or if it is the same with other states. So far the range has been $9,500 to $11,300! Maybe i will have to wait for the prices to go down when there is more competition, or travel to another state. Right now, It seems like it's going to be another summer of hiding my legs :(

I paid 3500 for the back of my legs from knee area all the way up to the butt. He even did the sides for free. I pointed out how each side had a small area and he said no problem. I went to NYC which is very much like Chicago and had mine down on the infamous Madison and park ave. I opened up a surgery credit card with no money down and interest free for 12 months. Best money ever spent. I tried vellashape lotions creams exercises you name it. It's worth it. Don't let his price get in the way of being cellulite free. I had mine done the 19 th of this month and bruises gone. Still swollen but 0 cellulite. It's Like an angel came down with an eraser and wiped it all away

I'm so sorry to hear that Carol. I hate that feeling when you are really excited for something, then realize its out of your reach. I really hope prices drop or you are able to find a good doctor with lesser fees.

Please keep us posted on what you decide to do.

Thanks Megan. I will keep you posted. Two more doctors in Illinois to go to. I will keep my fingers crossed.

What dr did u go to? Is it dr Bruce Katz? The reason why I ask is because I just got cellulaze done by him. I was charge 3900 for front of my thighs only half way up! And one leg hardly had any cellulite, I had the procedure done on the 26th of march, I still see cellulite on my thighs so I'm kind of bummed, its alot of money to not see results, also got smart lipo on my knees which brought the cost up to 6800, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'm going to see great results

I did have it done by doctor Bruce Katz. I paid 3900 for the back of my legs. It made a huge great difference but this morning a bit came back. They say the longer you wear the gurdle the better so I'm wearing daily for 2 months. They said 3 months for full results. I called Tara today in the office and talked about how a bit came back and she said it's normal no worries. But need to wait 6 months in order to do re touch. But ughh they charge 895.00 again for operating room fee. I had smart lipo done in Darien. Inner and outer thighs 9 k. Cause stupid me didn't do them both at the same time so I paid 9 k instead of 6 k

Thanks for the feedback, that's so funny, I was going to call Tara today to discuss my concerns, they said that you only have to wear the garmet for a week, I stopped wearing it for one day after my week was up and needed to put it back on cause my legs hurt.without it! I hear you about the cost if you don't do everything at once , he quoted 9100 for 2cellulaze areas and the smart lipo on knees, I just couldn't spend that all at once, but if I see results I will definitely go back cause the procedure was pretty tolerable , I'm glad that he will do a retouch after 6 months if ur not happy, the only sucky part is the 895 UGH! Keep in touch and I will keep you posted, how long has it been since you had your procedure?

OMG - are you serious? ZERO cellulite?!?!? OMG OMG OMG!!! I have a consult with Dr Petti (California) on May 25th and I'm just so nervous wondering if this "really works". I've had cellulite for 30 years and have NEVER walked around in a bathing suit without a cover up. I can NOT believe there is actually a cure...OMG! Have you posted pictures anywhere or would you be willing to e-mail any before and after pics you have? I've tried everything out there with ZERO results and the thought of really, truly getting rid of my cellulite is incredible...! If you have pictures, you can e-mail them if you'd prefer - my e-mail addy is allycat659@yahoo.com. Holy cow - if this is real, I don't care how much it costs...! :o)

I posted those reviews too soon in the healing process when the legs were still swollen but it is 80 percent better and still changing. I will try to get you the before photos it takes up to 3 months to see the full results and every day it is getting better and better. I paid 3900 from doctor Bruce Katz I. Manhattan for the back of the legs all the way up to under the butt. Best thing I ever did.

I live in ct and had cellulaze done April 19 th. The full results have kicked in I am CELLULITE free. Ladies any questions email me. I am trying to point other ladies in the right direction since this doctor changed my life.

I am going to be in nyc in a few weeks, were you able to get an appt right away and how long did the procedure take?
