Are there long term health/deformity risks that could come from the Cellulaze procedure?

Question

I am wondering if there are any health risks, or possibilities of deformity from this procedure. I know it is a new procedure, so Im worried about the long term risks of something going wrong in the future even though it seems to have good results in the first following years.

In my opinion Cellulaze has proven to be safe and effective for over 3 years. The biggest issue in my practice has been about the marks left by the small incisions. These can be treated by laser and peeling.It is important to get an evaluation by an experienced doctor to ensure you have cellulite and not excess fat and are a good candidate.Ask to see photos.Good luck!

As with any
surgical procedure there is some risks involved. That being said, the risks
that are associated with Cellulaze are minor and should be discussed with you
at length during your preoperative appointment. I suggest finding a qualified
doctor with a reputation of outstanding results. Good Luck!

It is important to emphasize that cellulaze is not a commodity procedure.  The quality of the result is determined by three factors: proper patient selection, having the best quality technology, and having a careful surgeon who does not cut corners.  The earliest adapters of the cellulaze procedure have patients who are maintaining good results 4 years out from treatment.Pretty much every one I have treated with this technology has experienced improvement in the appearance of their cellulite. A few have had results, that although improvements, have not been that spectacular.  A few have had remarkable results.  The majority have results that are not perfect but are a substantial improvement over their previous situation.  I can think of one patient who has experienced a return of her cellulite;  she is a mystery and I am thinking of retreating her.  Fortunately I have seen no serious problems with my patients.Sometimes this technology falls into the hands of practicioners who are not skilled or properly credentialed.  Under these circumstances the results can be problemmatic.  A technology is only as good as the person running it.

Yes, the laser can injure your skin and underlying structures, causing scarring and displeasing appearance.These kinds of deformities ca be permanent. There is only one truly effective and
proven lasting cellulite treatment out there, and that is CELLFINA. All of the
other lotions, potions, creams, treatments, radio frequency devices, including
Cellulaze, are at best, mediocre, and, in many cases, completely worthless.
Cellulaze is a laser-based procedure that has a much higher complication rate,
as well as a much lower patient satisfaction rate, so that answer is pretty
clear. CELLFINA is the only cellulite treatment that has a proven track record
of 96% patient satisfaction at 2 years post treatment. Nothing else is even
remotely as effective as Cellfina. I have attached a link to my website,
explaining how this remarkable system works. There are patient testimonials and
schematics reviewing the details of this remarkable breakthrough treatment.
Also, Cellfina is a single session procedure that is done under local
anesthesia with little to no pain! Thank you for your excellent question.Cellfina is the ONLY Effective Cellulite Treatment That Works!
