It's worth noting that Cellfina is indicated for cellulite dimpling only, and should not be used to address skin laxity, orange peel appearance and focal areas of fat deposits. Cellfina is not a technology used globally over the skin, and your clinician should inform you of the sites best treated with Cellfina, be it on the buttocks or back of the thighs. That said, the average cost for a Cellfina procedure ranges from $3500 to $6500. The two main factors that dictate price are cellulite severity, namely the number of dimple release sites and the geographic location of where the procedure will be performed. Prices in the central midwest and south are generally less than the cost seen in the coastal regions. We use a validated cellulite severity grading system at our cellulite clinic that characterizes cellulite as either mild, moderate, or severe to determine the cost of the Cellfina procedure, which ranges from $3100 (mild), $4100 (moderate) and $5100 (severe). Cellfina only treats the cellulite dimpling that results from fibrous bands pulling on the undersurface of the skin. Most women who have cellulite dimpling also experience waviness related to skin laxity, which would require an adjunctive modality to tighten the skin. Many women will be disappointed with just the Cellfina procedure if their dimples exist in the background of skin laxity. When searching for a cellulite solution, I recommend finding a clinic with an existing protocol in place to address all facets of cellulite. We offer a combination protocol that incorporates both Cellfina and Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT). AWT is a highly effective modality that also disrupts the fibrous bands that tether the undersurface of the skin as well as firming areas of skin laxity, reducing underlying fat pockets, and improving blood flow. AWT is a non-invasive procedure with no anticipated downtime that we begin six to eight weeks following the Cellfina procedure. Our combination protocol ranges from $3600 to $6600, depending on the cellulite's extent and severity. This combination approach is an excellent option for treating all the underlying causes of cellulite, which we provide at essentially the same price range as single Cellfina treatment.
