Do Your Thighs Shrink a Smaller Size As well As Cellulite Reduced? Do You Lose Any Inches?

I employ the Brazilian Cellulite Treatment, in addition to liposuction, to sculpt and improve the thighs, hips, and buttocks. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Cellulaze is the FDA approved one time definitive treatment for cellulite.  Cellulaze utilizes a 1440 nm wavelength laser to accomplish 3 things:  1) melt away fat bulging out 2) break up fibrous septae (attachments) that create the indentations and 3) help thicken the dermis (skin) to prevent future recurrence.   The procedure can take between 60-90 minutes and can be completed under local or just IV sedation (depending on the length of your procedure and number of areas being treated). To see your final results takes between 3-6 months. You can visit the cellulaze . com website to learn more about the procedure. Best of luck!

The Cellulaze procedure will not cause a loss in inches but will help to tighten the skin. When the skin becomes more firm it will help for clothes to fit better which may feel as though you have lost inches.

 Though we don't commonly take measurements of patients prior to Cellulaze, many patients have reported that once the swelling has resolved that clothes fit better than and they seem to have an overall reduction in the circumference of their thighs.  (this is seen most commonly in patients that are treated circumferentially--around the entire thigh)  A reduction in size or inch loss is not the primary goal or focus of Cellulaze but in it is something we have seen. We are not removing fat during the procedure, so most likely this effect comes from the combination of smoothing of contours and skin tightening.

I have not found this to be the case. With the many cases of Cellulaze that I have done, I have found that it assists with some skin tightening over time but not in losing inches.  Liposuction may help someone lose inches because fat is removed.  Minimal fat removal is done with Cellulaze.  Good Question!

Cellulaze
is definitely the most effective treatment for cellulite in the United States but does not removal fat. Cellulaze
is definitely the most effective treatment for cellulite in the United States.
It is a one time treatment that uses a small laser fiber inserted under the
skin through tiny incisions to tighten the skin and divide the fibrous bands
that cause dimpling. Unlike other available cellulite treatments, Cellulaze
does not require multiple treatments or maintenance treatments. Hope this help,  good luck!
