I have dimpled cellulite and loss of skin elasticity on my butt and thighs. I am going to get Cellfina, but I am wondering if I should get a skin tightening procedure before I get Cellfina, or if I should get Cellfina first. Also, I am not sure which skin tightening procedure would be the best fit for me. I want something that will tighten my skin and make it look firm again, but I don't want to lose any fat in those areas. I like the size of my butt.

Answer: Cellulite with Loose Skin Thank you for your question. I do not use Cellfina in areas of skin laxity as it further reduces the supporting structure for the skin. Nearly all skin tightening devices will have some degree of size reduction. For optimal skin tightening I use the BodyTite by InMode. The radio-frequency (RF) is injected beneath the skin through a small probe. The RF energy travels between the probe beneath the skin and a second probe on the surface of the skin. This focuses the energy where it is most useful for skin tightening and can achieve tightening up to 30%. There will however, be some fat destruction in conjunction with this but this can be minimized by keeping the interior probe as close to the surface as possible. I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore

Answer: Cellfina vs skin tightening Cellfina is a one time treatment used to release the fibrous bands that pull down on the skin in the buttocks and sides of the thighs. Cellfina simply releases these fibrous bands but is not a skin tightener. When cellulite appears from textural irregularity, skin tightening is typically needed for optimal result. I recommend an evaluation from your provider to ensure treatment is targeting the appropriate type of cellulite for optimal outcome.
