WORTH IT
AMAZING! I have never been overweight, except while pregnant. I have struggled with cellulite my entire life. No matter how much I work out or how much I weigh it was still very prominent. Dr. Parkins and her staff were wonderful. They thoroughly explained the entire procedure and were very caring before, during, and after the entire procedure. Dr. Parkins more than answered my questions; she provided all of the details up front. On the day of my Cellfina procedure we did before pictures at all angles. During the process I was on my stomach and did work emails on my phone. The numbing portion was the worst part; you essentially feel like you get multiple shots. This was the only time anything ever hurt and the dentist is much worse. After you are numb the actual Cellfina magic happens. The noise is unnerving, but I did not feel a thing. Afterwards the staff helped me into a compression garment. The entire process took around 2 hours. I actually met a colleague for lunch afterwards! The oozing was pretty significant and I had to hurry home. I did Cellfina on Friday and I was sore for the weekend, but much better by Monday. I was back to working out in 2 weeks and only mildly bruised. Now for the good part, IT ACTUALLY WORKED! I have a much smoother backside. My husband even commented “wow it’s not bumpy anymore”. I would do this procedure again in a heartbeat. I would encourage anyone who is self-conscious or bothered by their cellulite to finally get rid of it with Cellfina and Dr. Parkins.

Wow, great review, thank you for posting it here at RealSelf! Do you have any pics you can post? Love to see your results!

How soon did you see the results?

You see results pretty quickly in a week or so. I had post op pics done at 2 weeks and there was a big improvement. I'm sure my pics will be on the docs website. My husband says it looks much smoother. My backside looks so much better in a bathing suit and shorts. I haven't worn shorts for years and I have them on today!

I took a ton of pics at Dr. Parkins. Just call and ask they will show you a bunch of before and after. They charge per area so there is a huge range between 1K-6K. And yes I want everything!

Dr. Parkins - Delafied WI - Cellulite Still Gone

We are approaching bikini season! Even though I am almost 40 I still want to wear a bikini and not an old lady swimsuit. I had Cellfina almost 10 months ago. The results do continue to improve over time. This procedure does what it promises. It removes dimples or deep indentations from your backside. To be clear it does not tighten the skin, but that was never a claim made by the treatment. Even my husband believes it is smoother. In his own words "the dents are gone". This did not make my backside perfect I still work out and wish I could tighten the skin. It did get rid of the dimpling that I have had my whole life. That made this treatment absolutely worth it. I encourage anyone who is self-conscious about their cellulite to visit Dr. Parkins for a consultation. She will be absolutely honest and straightforward about what you can expect from the procedure. It is one of those treatments that you can do once in your life and never have to do again. I'm so glad I did it. Every time I try on a swim suit and look at my bottom I am so glad I did it. I don't believe there is anything else on the market that truly removes cellulite and believe me I researched them all! Cellfina is worth every penny and Dr. Parkins will ensure you have the best results possible. She is absolutely meticulous. I would do this again in a second and believe it is the best treatment on the market for cellulite.
