After Surgery Didn't Work for Cellulite, Trying FasciaBlaster - San Francisco, CA

$89
I paid $3,000 for the Cellulaze treatment to rid my thighs of cellulite. I saw zero improvement. Sixteen months later, I am giving the FasciaBlaster one last try. I've researched Cellafina, ThermiTight, even getting a thigh lift. I even tried Joey Atlas Symulast Method workout for 60 days; all it did was make my legs bigger and give me a little more definition. No change in cellulite. FasciaBlaster costs less than $100. I've consulted with a few other surgeons, and they all seem to agree that the only solution for my cellulite is one of two above mentioned procedures that have very mixed results and have left many customers disappointed. For $100, I am willing to be very strict with a FasciaBlaster routine. I tried it a few months ago for a few weeks, and didn't see much results. I went back and watched the instructional video again, and it looks like I was doing one technique wrong. So, my plan is to try it for 30 days, 4 days a week, 5 minutes per area. I will only do my front thighs (dimples above the knees) and my back left thigh banana roll (you'll notice my left thigh has more cellulite and dimples than my right). It's the result of a car injury 20 years ago. Now, the community will have a real FasciaBlaster review and not something that was probably planted by someone who works for the inventor.
I'm 5'4", 115 pounds, workout five days a week.
I also started doing an intense glute work out about a month ago to try to lift my butt naturally. After almost 20 years of being a runner, I discovered two years ago that it's all about diet. Running to burn calories didn't get me the results that weight training with just a little cardio has. I just need to get rid of this cellulite! That's my last quest.

No real results yet
Just lots of bruises. The dimple above my right knee only goes away when the bruise is there. It's came back once. I'm on my second round of bruises. I have to take a week off because I'm going on vacation and don't want bruised legs.

I love my fasciablaster. I've had noticeable results after just a few times.

After weeks of FasciaBlaster
I don't see any change. I followed the video tutorial. I do it 4-5 days a week for 10-15 minutes when muscles are warm. It hurts. I have fat in my butt but not much on my legs. The fasciablaster has not helped with my back leg cellulite.

Actually, Jill, aren't moderators supposed to be avoiding this snake oil from showing up here?
Or, should I just try to hock a piece of plastic as a lipo tool and not get removed? The before-and-afters are VERY telling. All drastically different lighting after. This is a scam, and I'm sick of seeing it on my feed, much like I'm sick of seeing Cellfina--another gimmick that doesn't work. To me, a "Not Sure" isn't a positive thing, and Real Self seems to count those in the percentages as if they were "Worth It." Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi LGUser,
Worth It ratings only factor in "Worth It" and "Not worth it" ratings. They do not include "Not sure." If you click on the Worth It rating there is a longer explanation of how it is calculated, as well as rankings over time.
If you want to remove something from your feed, click "All" in the right corner of the feed and deselect anything that doesn't interest you. This will remove those topics from your feed.
I hope this helps,
Sharon

Thank you for providing an honest review! It is much appreciated, not to mention you are saving others money and pain.

I had the same experience. Followed instructions, heated, used oil, drank tons of water, etc. Nothing but cellulite where I didn't have it before and what seems to be permanent discoloration from the bruises I gave myself. I was in the group and saw so many posts saying it wasn't working get deleted plus people get blocked from the group who talked about the damage it caused. I think Ashley Black & the fasciablaster are scams.

I'm really sorry to hear this didn't work, Vinovixen and goldleaf. I'm thinking about buying this as a massage tool because I think the claw-shaped pieces would help to loosen the knots in my back (used very gently). I've been reading about people receiving defective Blasters that break after a short time and with normal (i.e. not overly rough or vigorous) use, and this more than anything else is my biggest deterrent for now. It does bother me that people have had more serious problems and their comments, or other comments from people who simply didn't get good results, are deleted from her Facebook page and the customers are just left hanging. Please keep us posted if you find something that works!

I have what appears to be a permanent discoloration on my bicep. It's been 8 months and it's still there.
July 9, 2017
Did your Dr say what caused the permanent discoloration? Or what to do about it? Thx

goldleaf -- can you share your before & afters as a review? It would probably help a lot of people, as I've read your comments throughout, but can't seem to find your story & pics posted anywhere. Thx

I had Cellfina done in December.Its not painful and no downtime.I noticed the next day a lot of improvement. My banana roll was gone along with the deep dimple on each thigh has greatly been reduced, almost gone. They tell me the results will only get better, I am so pleased with the results so far. The cellulite I had was way worse than yours.Its costly ,but it works great.
January 21, 2017
Really you had improvement on the banana roll? I went for a consultation and was told Cellfina does not work on the banana roll or "grooves" of cellulite and that it only works on dimples.
January 21, 2017
I had one on the back of only one leg and it was my worst looking leg. Now it looks better than the other. The banana roll was gone when I took off the padding the next morning- thank god. I also had a lot done on both legs. But I had a dimple that was bad and kinda went into the banana roll. I'm just glad it's gone. Maybe try a different doctor and see what they say. I'm happy with the results and it's been a month and a half, and continues to get better with time they said.
January 23, 2017
That's great good for you! If you ever post photos please let me know so I can see if I might have a similar result. The doctor I consulted with was involved in the clinical trials for Cellfina, so she definitely knows what she is talking about. I'd love to see if I look like you did before, I also have one leg that is much worse than the other.

I decided to have it done so quickly, I didn't take any pictures of me before and I wish I had. Only pictures are at the doctors office. But like I said I had the one dimple on my bad leg went into the banana roll and it came out good. Still a slight dimple but the roll is gone, so I'm pleased with that. I'm hoping as time goes on the results will get better. They said it continues to improve for up to a year, so I'm hopeful. If this is the best it gets- I'm happy. Your legs look good,I think. It doesn't look like cellulite like mine did.Good luck to you.

Cellfina destroyed my legs. She has the lines across her legs like I did. Cutting the fascia made my legs sag and looks terrible. All the rippling makes me look like I gained weight and lots of cellulite. Actually changed the shape of my legs. It's a dangerous treatment. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

My technique for getting rid of dents and dimples on upper posterior thighs/banana roll-- I sit on a heating pad and get it as hot as I can stand it. Then I lay down and pull my knee to my chest to pull the skin tight. I put on lots of oil (super slippery so there's no friction at all) and I blast away for ten minutes. Usually have to stop to add more oil a couple of times and when my arms get tired I switch directions from up and down to side to side.
I have been using the fascia blaster about eight weeks and I would say I'm halfway where I want to be as far as cellulite, mine was really bad.
The best thing is the way I feel, completely energized. My posture has even improved. I was headed toward surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, and I believe that has healed. Of course, we're not allowed to make medical claims-- that is just my opinion.
Going back at it now. For those new to FBlasting...you WILL bruise. It's not pretty, but temporary. The hardest area for me to do it has definitely been the waist. I'm short and short waisted and always seem to hit my ribs or hip bone with it and OUCH! I know a mini version came out but I think the claws are the same size. I wish the mini actually had smaller claws for this area.
