We can never promise that results from a procedure last forever or that someone will look the same indefinitely following a procedure. Despite our best efforts, there are many factors that play a part in the long term appearance of an area treated with Cellulaze. Skin will continue to age, elasticity will continue to diminish and weight changes can occur (gain or loss)--these examples, as well as other factors can influence the appearance of the treated areas. Data from Cellulaze cases to date can only speak to what patients and surgeons have reported thus far, it can't predict what will happen in the future. So, even though we can't promise permanence, we can say there you should see long term improvement, not just temporary like non-invasive treatments of the past like endermology, Velashape, Smoothshapes, etc.
