How Long Does One Need to Wait to Exercise After Cellulaze?

Although most patients do not have significant complaints about pain, swelling or bruising after Cellulaze treatment, it is standard practice to wait at least two weeks after treatment to get back to exercising regularly. During the two week time frame, you can certainly walk or even jog lightly, but doing anything more than that may cause swelling of the legs which can lead to complications. It is important to follow your physician's post treatment instructions carefully to avoid any unnecessary delays in the healing process.

There is minimal recovery following Cellulaze anti-cellulite treatments. Patients may experience some bruising and discomfort. In addition, small amounts of fluid may leak from the incision sites. However, work and most other normal activities can typically be resumed within a day or two of treatment. Compression garment may need to be worn for a period of time and strenuous activities and exercise should be postponed for one to two weeks. Immediate improvement will be seen after treatment and results will continue to improve over the next three to twelve months as new collagen growth occurs.
