If I get more than one Cellfina treatment, will my cellulite keep on improving?

Do continued treatments with Cellfina help?The only FDA-cleared minimally invasive treatment proven to significantly improve the appearance of stubborn cellulite on thighs and buttocks in just one session. Studies show results last at least two years, which is the longest duration of any cellulite treatment on the market today.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Cellfina™ targets the primary structural cause of cellulite - the connective bands woven throughout fat in the thighs and buttocks. These bands pull down the skin, creating the puckering you see on the surface of the skin. Cellfina™is a small needle-sized device which treats the bands just below the skin’s surface. Similar to a rubber band under tension, once released, the treated skin bounces back to smooth itself out.This should be a one time treatment for each site, however,  we find that Cellfina Platinum , with the use of other devices, gives a better result

Thank you for the question. It is unlikely after Cellfina treatment that you will need to retreat the same area. This also depends on the patient and the problem areas we are targeting. Cellfina is expected to last anywhere between 1-3 years but everyone's body is different so some patients may need to treat the same area twice, that is unlikely but can't be ruled out.

As you are likely aware, cellulite / dimples in the skin have been a major challenge to treat with reliable results. External skin treatments and even internal treatments like Cellulaze have notably limited results and patient satisfaction.Cellfina is really "subcision" on a controlled level that can be more reliably performed owing to the use of a system that allows precise, focused subcision. It is planned as a single treatment to release the areas of septae that are causing dimpling and generally repeat treatments will be of limited benefit.Hope this helpsNick Slenkovich MD, FACS

Thank you for your question. Cellfina does not requirement maintenance, you should get results after a single treatment since the treatment works by cutting the fibrotic bands causing the dimples. All the best,

Cellfina is a minimally invasive FDA approved procedure to reduce the appearance of cellulite on the buttocks and thighs in a single session. The FDA approval study only had one treatment per patient. Additional treatments were not studied. Cellfina is a new procedure, so additional research would be necessary to determine whether more than one session would improve the results. Stay tuned as more procedures and research is done!
