Severe (grade 3 cellulite). Cellfina or Vaser for achieving smooth skin? (photos)

Looking at your pictures you would be a candidate for Cellfina and should receive a nice result.

Cellfina is the newest, most effective FDA approved technology available for treating cellulite. This one-time, minimally invasive procedure takes only 45 minutes to perform, but the results last for a minimum of two years. #Cellfina has the longest lasting results of any current #cellulite treatment. Its approval rate is over 93% here on RealSelf.Used on #moderate to #severe cellulite of the buttock and thighs, Cellfina works by treating the rubber-band-like connective tissue that causes cellulite. When these “rubber bands” under the skin are cut, the fat trapped underneath in dimples “snaps” back into place, creating a full, smooth appearance.There is no cutting and no incisions. To perform this controlled, precise, and safe procedure, a vacuum hand piece is placed over the dimpled tissue through which the surgeon will deliver a local anesthetic. Then a small, needle-like #microblade is inserted to release the fibrous bands, the cause of cellulite. Results can be seen in as little as three days post-op. Most patients report some soreness, tenderness, and bruising, which should #resolve within a week. 90% of patients reported no bruising after one month. To ensure the best results, a compressive garment should be worn for 2 weeks post-treatment. The cost of Cellfina depends upon the size and number of areas being treated. Seek more information to learn if you are candidate for #Cellfina by consulting with a board-certified Plastic Surgeon. 

Cellfina can be a great way for patients to smooth away their cellulite. Cellfina is FDA cleared for the back of the thighs and buttocks, and it works best on dimpled cellulite. To see if you are a good candidate, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who offers this technology near you. Good luck!

Thank you for your photos and questions. It appears that you would be a good candidate for Cellfina. I believe that you would achieve significant improvement in the deeper dimples in your buttocks, although I do not believe that it is realistic to expect complete resolution of all of the dimples. I also believe that the more prominent dimples and linear creases in your posterior and lateral thighs should improve with Cellfina treatment. I would not recommend treatment of the more superficial linear creases and depressions of your thighs. Cellfina would be the primary indicated procedure to smooth your skin but a good skin care regimen as well as skin tightening with high energy ultrasound or radiofrequency should help as well. Liposuction or CoolSculpting would also be beneficial for improving the contour of your problem areas. Good luck. Dr. Polo

Your cellulite problem is a common one. Fortunately, finally there are effective ways to minimize this problem. Perhaps the least invasive one is  Cellfina™. Cellfina is the only FDA-cleared minimally invasive, one-time procedure clinically proven to improve the appearance of cellulite for at least two years—the longest FDA-cleared duration for a cellulite treatment. A straightforward solution to cellulite, Cellfina™, combines a proven approach with innovative, proprietary technology, to produce precise, long-lasting results and has a high satisfaction rating on RealSelf. Together with Velashape 3, a non invasive procedure to help "shrink wrap the skin" and further minimize cellulite as a combination treatment is perhaps your best chance for taking care of this tough problem. Cellulaze is also a possible treatment but much more invasive
