Cellulaze...Amazed with Shino Bay - Palm Beach, FL

I have been cursed to suffer from cellulite for all of my life. I have spent a small fortune on topical creams, smoothing machines, doctor "cures", personal training, and magic potions. All of this and still it never went away, till Cellulaze!! I wanted to be first when I heard that they had just approved this device in the US to permanently eliminate my cellulite forever! I called my friend who is a famous dermatologist surgeon on Las Olas and he of course had this new treatment and so I booked it immediately! No pain, I was awake the whole time, laughing and talking while they cured my cellulite in 1 visit! I went back to work the next day and this has been the easiest procedure I have ever had! I have had my breast and lipo and both were a 8 on a pain scale compared to this which was barely a 1. I'm already seeing a difference and will continue to improve over the next few weeks, and I cant wait till June in Palm Beach to show off my hot new legs and ass!! Pros: cellulite gone forever in one time treatment that was an hour Cons: minuscule pain of a 1 out of 10 the next day but I still went to work

Thanks for posting your story. You are the first to review and it's so helpful for people who are coming to RealSelf looking for candid and authentic information. Do you have before and afters you can post so people can have a good idea of what to expect with Cellulaze vs. other treatments?
Its good to hear it worked so well for you. Did they say how long the results were expected to last?
I was just wondering how they could have patients that have been treated past several years if cellulaze has just been FDA approved.
They have to do a series of testings before gaining actual FDA approval. Here is information on drug testing, I would assume device testing would be a similar process.
It's been performed in Europe for years
Nice to hear about your great results. We are finding that 93% of patients are happy with their results 3 years after their single Cellulaze treatment. Your review is quite "rosey", did you have much bruising/swelling. Patients must plan on about 2 to 3 weeks of significant bruising, and be committed to wearing compression garmets for 2 to 3 weeks as well. Results do start showing once the bruising disappears, but it takes 6 months for results to maximize. It appears that Cellulaze is a permanent improvement in treating cellulite. Good luck and be well.

When you say "We are finding 93% of patients are happy..." do you mean that is out of all the people who have tried Cellulaze, or is that percentage what you have found in your own practice?
Those numbers are from Barry DiBernardo, MD over his 3 year experience. It is thought that the percentage may be higher now that patient's are being selected more carefully. There are some patients who need liposuction, other's whose cellulite is too far advanced. Best,
Dr. Persky
Thanks for the clarification - much appreciated!
