Hi ! I have an appt.scheduled for Cellulaze in the fall .I keep hearing (and reading) about Cellfina . Could you please tell me how they differ, why one is better than the other , pros&cons etc. ? Thanks!
Answer: Cellulaze and Cellfina do different things See a doctor that does both treatments because they do different things. Cellfina is best for deep dimples. Cellulaze is better for treating large areas of cottage cheese cellulite and wavey cellulite that comes from loose skin.

Answer: What is the differencd in Cellfina and Cellulaze? Both machines are for treatment of cellulite (dimples) in the buttocks and thighs. The Cellulaze used a laser to cut the fibrous bands that cause the dimples. Lasers are energy producing with the down size of a possible burn or increased pigmentation.Cellfina uses suction to elevate the skin over the dimple before cutting the fibrous band with a small blade. The suction on the skin separates the cut ends of the bands so they are less likely to re-attach.The Cellfina is FDA approved for one treatment to last 3 years and has a satisfaction rate of 75%, where as the satisfaction rate for the Cellulaze is in the 50% range last time I looked.Both are done under local anesthesia. With the Cellfina, you can return to work the next day or so, but with both techniques there can be bruising for up to 6 weeks. There is no scar with either technique. There is a guarantee with the Cellfina. I'm not sure abut the Cellulaze.I hope this has answered your question.Thank you for your question, and good luck.

Answer: Cellfina vs Cellulaze -- My vote is for Cellfina Which is better? A quick look at RealSelf "worth-it" ratings shows 85% for Cellfina and 54% for Cellulaze. Cellulaze is correctly targeting the right thing in going after cellulite, the fibrous septae that cause tethering and dimples in the skin, but it is not treating these in a controlled way. To my understanding, Cellulaze uses laser energy under the skin, but because it is being used generally in the area of dimpling, it would risk too much release if it were to release as much as Cellfina does.The major difference with Cellfina is that it focally releases, in a very controlled pattern, the precise area that underlies the dimpling. In fact, the Cellfina system does what I've done for years manually (we called this "subcision" with a needle), but it allows for much more control and therefore it can more safely get a more thorough release of the problematic tethering.That's my professional opinion in a nutshell and why I purchased the Cellfina system and was not at all interested in Cellulaze.Hope this helps,Nick Slenkovich MD, FACS

Answer: Cellfina vs. Cellulaze-which is better? Cellfina is the latest cellulite reduction procedure which uses a tiny knife blade to cut through the fibrous strands which are pulling the skin down and causing dimples. Cellfina is minimally invasive, performed with local anesthesia and has virtually no downtime. There is bruising, but little pain with a quick recovery and a high 96% satisfaction rate at 3 years. Cellulaze is a cellulite reduction procedure which uses a laser to zap the fibrous strands causing cellulite. This procedure also heats us the skin and fat causing a prolonged swelling and recovery. The procedure also is more painful and the patient satisfaction rate is not as high as the Cellfina procedure.
