Cellulaze anti-cellulite laser treatment smooths out bulging pockets of fat, releases brittle structural fibers beneath the skin, and increases your skin’s natural depth. The result is skin that looks smoother and healthier. A very small tube called a cannula is inserted under the skin to deliver energy right where it’s needed. This energy increases the depth and quality of your skin while simultaneously releasing the fibrous bands that pull it inward and create that unwanted dimpled look. The laser energy is also used to diminish the lumpy pockets of fat that protrude through the fibrous bands under your skin.
Cellulaze Quick Facts
- Clinically proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite
- The only treatment that affects cellulite at its very structure
- Requires just a single treatment
- Provides healthier-looking skin that lasts
Cellulaze is a treatment that we very rarely recommend anymore because of the significant downtime and discomfort during the recovery, as compared to newer treatments that can offer similar results.
Frequently Asked Questions About
Cellulaze For Cellulite Reduction
- What is the treatment like?
Cellulaze is a one-time treatment performed at our Martinsville Body Contouring Center and takes about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. You’ll be awake during the procedure, watching TV, listening to music, or chatting with our friendly staff. The treatment area is first made comfortable with a numbing solution that is introduced into the skin through two tiny incisions, about the size of the tip of a pen.
Once numb, the novel SideLaze3D laser fiber is inserted through the same tiny holes and several passes are made to level out the peaks and valleys of your cellulite. Over the course of the procedure, the laser liquefies bumps of fat and minimizes dimples by releasing the fibrous bands that pull the skin down and create depressions. It also stimulates collagen production, which, over time, increases your skin’s depth and elasticity for a smoother look.
- What does the procedure feel like?
Because the area is numbed with local anesthesia, there is minimal discomfort during the procedure. You may feel light pressure. Following a Cellulaze treatment, you may experience some soreness, but you will be able to return to your normal activities in a day or two.
- How much does Cellulaze cost?
The price of Cellulaze varies with the size of the area being treated, but most procedures start in the $5,000 range.
- What's the downtime with Cellulaze?
We tell patients to set aside one day for the treatment and one to two days of rest after the procedure. Strenuous activity should be avoided for one to two weeks. Once the laser cellulite treatment is complete, the liquefied fat is gently pressed out and you’re ready to go home. You’ll be back to your normal activities after a day or two and can resume more strenuous exercise after one to two weeks.
- How long do the results last?
You’ll see some changes right away, with optimal results apparent between three to six months. Since new collagen is formed in the areas treated with Cellulaze and the structures under the skin are altered, the results are lasting. Clinical studies have shown results can last for one year or more. However, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen to continue to enjoy excellent results.
