I would like to know the difference between Cellfina and Cellulaze treatment. I'm very confused on which one works the best

Cellfina is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia which effectively treats cellulite. It is accompanied by a quick and painless recovery. Results 2-3 years after treatment are very good and accompanied by high rate of patient satisfaction. It appears to be a better treatment versus Cellulaze in terms of ease of treatment, recovery, results and patient satisfaction.

In my opinion, Cellfina is the best treatment available for cellulite. Cellulaze is a less effective treatment that uses laser energy but does not allow for safely releasing the tethering septae that cause cellulite as well as Cellfina, and therefore is is less effective.Read the RealSelf "worth it" ratings and comments for these treatments. I checked today and they stood at:Cellfina - 85% Worth ItCellulaze - 54% Worth ItCellfina is a simple, minimally-invasive treatment that allows me to release the tethering that causes cellulite. It is a long-term, single treatment. Effectiveness varies based on a person's tissues -- if there is loose skin or very extensive dimples, it will be less effective.Hope this helps,Nick Slenkovich MD, FACS

Cellulite affects up to 85% of adult women and can be extremely difficult to #correct. Many treatments are ineffective or take multiple sessions to complete with very temporary results. If you are deemed a candidate, you may benefit from #Cellfina. Cellfina is the newest, most effective FDA approved technology available for treating cellulite. This one-time, minimally invasive procedure takes only 45 minutes to perform, but the results last for a minimum of two years. #Cellfina has the longest lasting results of any current #cellulite treatment. Its approval rate is over 93% here on RealSelf.Used on #moderate to #severe cellulite of the buttock and thighs, Cellfina works by treating the rubber-band-like connective tissue that causes cellulite. When these “rubber bands” under the skin are cut, the fat trapped underneath in dimples “snaps” back into place, creating a full, smooth appearance.There is no cutting and no incisions. To perform this controlled, precise, and safe procedure, a vacuum hand piece is placed over the dimpled tissue through which the surgeon will deliver a local anesthetic. Then a small, needle-like #microblade is inserted to release the fibrous bands, the cause of cellulite. Seek more information to learn if you are candidate for #Cellfina by consulting with a board-certified Plastic Surgeon.  

Cellfina is considerably more efficient than Cellulaze as the healthcare provider is able to identify each individual cellulite dimple that you find bothersome. The procedure can be performed in under an hour, earning the “lunch time procedure” label, and requires little to no recovery time. Unlike the precise work of Celfina, Cellulaze treats general areas and is not recommended for spot treatments. After Cellulaze, you will experience considerably more swelling, bruising and face an extended recovery period. Visit our CellfinaWorks website to learn more about the procedure at our practice.

Both
Cellfina and Cellulaze are cleared by the FDA to reduce cellulite. That is
essentially where the similarities end. In order to understand the differences
in the 2 procedures, it's important to understand what causes cellulite. The
dimpled skin that shows up mainly in the buttocks and thighs is caused by
fibrous bands attached to the skin, pulling it down. Fat pushes through gaps
between the bands, resulting in cellulite. Cellfina releases these attachments
with tiny blades in a procedure that is minimally invasive and produces results
within a few days. Cellulaze is a more invasive treatment that uses laser
energy to sever the bands. Results take longer to appear, and the laser does
pose more risk of complications than Cellfina. Additionally, Cellulaze is much
more expensive in general than Cellfina. I hope this answer is helpful.

Cellfina is an FDA approved minimally invasive procedure that reduces the appearance of cellulite for at least two years on the buttocks and back of the thighs of women.It works by releasing the internal bands that cause the cellulite dimpling and so we have not seen any fat atrophy. You should not see much of a difference with weight gain or loss but this also has not been studied.Other areas of the body with dimpling, it is important to make sure it is truly cellulite before treatment.It is common to have swelling bruising and firmness after the procedure. This can last for a few weeks.It is different than Cellulaze which is a laser. If you have had previous poor results with cellulaze, you can still do Cellfina.Cellfina has shown 100% noticeable improvement and 96% satisfaction in all patients at 2 years. Cellfina is designed to be a one time procedure. It can be used on women with all skin types but caution should be taken if theres a history of keloiding.It can also be combined with other treatments such as Thermi orUlthera if skin tightening is needed.We have done Sculpsure and Coolsculpting if fat reduction is wanted, but its best to wait 3 months to see the results before proceeding.It can also be done at the same time as other procedures such as liposuction and BBL or as a stand alone procedure in the office.Since Cellfina outcomes can be based on technique and experience, please see a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes body contouring to see if Cellfina or other treatments are available to meet your goals.
