How Does Cellfina Work?

To fully understand how Cellfina works to improve the appearance of cellulite, it’s helpful to understand how cellulite forms on the body. Cellulite is created when fibrous bands pull the skin down, creating pockets. These pockets then fill up with fat, creating a dimpled effect. As we age, our skin becomes thinner, and the pockets underneath the skin become more apparent, creating the appearance of cellulite.

Cellfina works by addressing the underlying cause of cellulite: the fibrous bands that create the dimples. By treating those bands directly and allowing them to release, Cellfina restores a smooth and contoured appearance to the buttocks and thighs.

What to Expect During and After the Cellfina Procedure

A minimally-invasive procedure, our Redondo Beach Cellfina is performed in one of our soothing and comfortable offices at Marcus Medical. To begin, we will apply a local anesthetic to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. We will then place the Cellfina handpiece firmly on the treatment area, before inserting an ultra-small microblade (the size of a needle) underneath your skin. This blade will cut through the bands of connective tissue that form the cellulite, releasing the dimples and creating smoother skin.

You can expect the entire Cellfina treatment to last approximately one hour, at which point you will return home to begin the very brief healing process. After the procedure, you may experience minor soreness and bruising, though it will resolve quickly and you’ll be able to resume your normal activities the very next day. However, you will be advised to avoid strenuous activities for at least a few days to ensure an optimal result.

Results

The results of your Cellfina treatment in Torrance will begin to emerge within three days after your procedure, and they will continue to improve over the next several weeks with smoother skin and a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your cellulite. In addition, the vast majority of our clients still see visible results one year after their treatment, making Cellfina one of the longest-lasting and most effective cellulite treatments available.

Does a Cellfina Treatment Hurt?

Having heard that this treatment involves a micro-needle, you might be concerned that it will be painful. However, the device is small and efficient enough that patients experience very little discomfort during treatment. The sensation has been compared to having sandpaper rubbed across your skin.

You won’t need local or general anesthetic in a Cellfina session, a further confirmation of the fact that the procedure is easily tolerated. Your procedure can be completed in an hour or less, so any minor discomfort you may experience is very brief. Numbing creams can also be used to further reduce any potential discomfort.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

There is more than one kind of cellulite. The type of cellulite that best responds to a Cellfina treatment is associated with dimpling. It is especially effective in treating cellulite in the buttocks and thighs, the main areas of concern for most women. It has FDA clearance for these applications.
