I have mild cellulite, how much leakage and for how long should I expect after Cellfina? Can I go about my day straight after?

Yes, it is normal to experience some bleeding and drainage after Cellfina for anywhere from 24-72 hours. You may be bruised and have some tenderness and/or hard lumps in the area for up to 2-6 weeks. In my opinion, it's best to avoid strenuous exercise for at least a week or so after having Cellfina, but you may resume light duties immediately after. Best of luck to you, and be well.#exerciseaftercellfina  #cellulite   #leakage

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. Patients are able to resume their day after leaving our office, but we do recommend taking it easy for up to 24 hours. 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.

After Cellfina you will experience some drainage for a day or so.  The day after treatment you should be able to return to most normal light activities.
