Weight gain or weight loss should not affect the outcomes and the results have been seen for over 2 years (if not more). It is truly a really exciting new technology that most women can benefit from. It is best used for dimples.
The waviness over the front of the thighs benefits more from skin tightening procedures.

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. The average patient may pay around $4000 for this one time procedure at our practice. Seek more information to learn if you are candidate for #Cellfina by consulting with a board-certified Plastic Surgeon.

Thank you for your question.
Cellfina is a great treatment for cellulite. True cellulite is more commonly seen on the posterior thighs and buttocks. While the inner thighs and front of thighs usually develop "wavy" skin from looseness of the tissues. Some patients will have true cellulite in these areas, therefore an in depth consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will help you determine what treatment(s) are best for you.

Hi Lucy,
Cellfina is the newest technology on the market that allows your dimples (cellulite) to be removed consistently by cutting the fibrous bands and releasing the dimpled skin. Yes, cellfina can be performed on the whole area, however I recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to make sure it is cellulite and not skin laxity.
All the best,

Great question. Many people have your problem of wavy dimply skin on the front of their thighs. Cellfina is specifically for actual dimples in the skin caused by fibrous cords that tether the skin down which is common on the buttocks and upper outer thighs. Some people do have dimples on fronts as well and they can be treated with cellfina. However, what you are describing sounds more like skin laxity. Skin laxity can be treated with a variety of skin tightening procedures. My favorite for this is Ultherapy which uses microfocused ultrasound and is very effective.

It works by releasing the internal bands that cause the cellulite dimpling and so we have not seen any fat atrophy. You should not see much of a difference with weight gain or loss but this also has not been studied.
Other areas of the body with dimpling, it is important to make sure it is truly cellulite before treatment.
It is common to have swelling bruising and firmness after the procedure. This can last for a few weeks.
It is different than Cellulaze which is a laser.
If you have had previous poor results with cellulaze, you can still do Cellfina.
Cellfina has shown 100% noticeable improvement and 96% satisfaction in all patients at 2 years.
Cellfina is designed to be a one time procedure.
It can be used on women with all skin types but caution should be taken if theres a history of keloiding.
It can also be combined with other treatments such as Thermi or
Ulthera if skin tightening is needed.
We have done Sculpsure and Coolsculpting if fat reduction is wanted, but its best to wait 3 months to see the results before proceeding.
It can also be done at the same time as other procedures such as liposuction and BBL or as a stand alone procedure in the office.
Since Cellfina outcomes can be based on technique and experience, please see a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes body contouring to see if Cellfina or other treatments are available to meet your goals.
Take care,
