Does Cellfina work for cellulite on the front of thighs?

Question

I have the “traditional” cellulite on the upper part of my posterior thighs but also have very lumpy anterior thighs. Will Cellfina work for that area as well?

Thanks for the question. Unfortunately, it is difficult to make an accurate assessment without at least some photos. Cellfina can work on some types of cellulite on the front of the thighs, but it’s possible you might need a combination of treatments to achieve the outcome you want. I recommend scheduling an appointment with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist who has extensive experience in cellulite treatments for a full evaluation and treatment recommendations.

Hello,Thank you for your question. Cellfina can work on the front of the thighs as long as it’s the right kind of cellulite. You will need to consult with a local physician in person to determine if you’re a candidate. Good luck!

The front of the legs do not do well with Cellfina, although it is the best treatment for cellulite at this point. However, a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement. I recommend Cellfina in combination with Sculptra, and body treatments like Exilis Ultra/Venus Legacy, Cellutone/z wave. A VASER HI DEF liposuction procedure can be done at the same time as Cellfina for more contouring. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Most of the irregularity in the anterior thighs of women is due to skin laxity and cannot be improved with Cellfina. However, we have seen a small group of women who have more typical dimples in the anterior thighs, mostly located in the upper outer part of the leg. We have seen a modest improvement in those areas after Cellfina treatment.
