Cellfina VS Cellulaze - which one is better and why?

Cellfina vs cellulazeCellfina is a more recent procedure and can be done under local in the officeCellfina 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% 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.

Hi Caligal, Thanks for your questions. Cellfina is the newest technology on the market that allows your dimples or cellulite to be removed consistently as the device allows precise cutting of the dimpled areas as compared to cellulaze which requires surgeon expertise which may have slightless predictable and certainly leads to more down time. It seems that the jury is leaning towards cellfina. It costs significantly and has less down time. I would recommend being seen by several board certified plastic surgeons just is case it is not just dimples but rather lose skin that may require actual surgical incisions. Good Luck!

All the best,
