Will Celfina harm fat cells?

Cellfina is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that
targets the connective bands that weave through fat found in the areas
of your thighs and buttocks. The tightening of these bands pull down on
the skin causing cellulite to appear, the puckering and dimpling effect, when this tension is released, it
allows the skin to bounce back and smooth out. Cellfina will not harm or affect any fat cells as the Cellfina device is used to cut through the connective bands that weave through the fat, it does not target the fat itself. That said, it's important to keep in mind that Cellfina should always be administered by either a board certified plastic surgeon or a trained registered nurse under the supervision of a board certified plastic surgeon. I highly recommend that you book an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in order to assess whether this is the right treatment for you and for the results that you are looking to achieve. Also, don't hesitate to address any questions or concerns that you might have about the procedure with your doctor.

The dimpling associated with cellulite is caused by fibrous bands of tissue that tug at your skin from below. Cellfina very specifically targets those bands, however, the fat in the area is not affected. Cellfina should be a good option in your case, since you aren’t looking for fat reduction. Schedule a consultation with a qualified Cellfina provider to help you find out for sure whether it’s the right procedure for you.

Thank you for your question, Cellfina target specifically the fibrous septae that hold the skin down and form dimples between your fat cells. This band is cut by a small pin hole scalpel and therefore, the fat cells surrounding it should not be affected. 

Hello and thank you for your question.Cellfina is a cellulite reduction treatment that targets the bands that cause cellulite dimples, not the fat itself. That being said, Cellfina is a great treatment for patients looking reduce the appearance of cellulite while maintaining the volume of the treated area, such as the legs, etc. I hope this information helps and I wish you the best of luck. 

No, Cellfina won't harm fat cells. A combination approach is needed to get improvement with Cellfina. I recommend Cellfina in combination with Sculptra or renuva, and body treatments like Exilis Ultra/Venus Legacy, Cellutone/z wave. A VASER HI DEF procedure can be done for more contouring. See an expert for a formal evaluation. There is no cure but you can get good improvement. Best, Dr. Emer

Cellfina is a unique device that targets the fibrous bands that tether down the cellulite dimples.  This is accomplished by using a suction device to lift up the skin from the underlying subcutaneous tissue, and using a controlled blade to cut these tethering bands.  This focal targeting leaves the subcutaneous structures like fat relatively unaffected.  Smoother, dimple-free skin is exactly what Cellfina is good at achieving!

Thank you for your question. Cellfina is designed to target the connective bands that cause cellulite. There is a possibility that a few fat cells could be injured in the process, but in general the fat cells are unaffected and unharmed. Be sure to see a reputable provider that you trust and you can achieve great results! Best of luck to you!

Cellfina specifically targets the bands that pull and result in cellulite dimples. The procedure releases the dimples and does not target the fat cells, so there is NO damage to the existing fat cells. Cellfina is best indicated for women with localized dimples on the buttocks and thighs, and not for women with generalized cellulite.

Thank you for your question. No, Cellfina will not harm your fat cells. Cellfina works by mechanically releasing the fibrous bands that tug on the skin resulting in the dimpling. We often combine Cellfina with skin tightening devices such as J-Plasma or BodyTite as well as Sculptra to firm the collagen in the areas of cellulite.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

No- Celfina treats the fibrous septa that causes dimpling or cellulite, it does not use heat to damage fat cells. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. BRISBANE, Australia.
