Cellulite is one of the most common—and most frustrating—aesthetic issues that women face. Cellulite can strike anyone, whether they’re young or old, thin or heavy, sedentary or crazy about fitness. In fact, these embarrassing dimples (which most frequently occur on the thighs and buttocks) are estimated to affect more than 85% of adult women… And up until recently, there was precious little most of them could do about it. Unfortunately, while maintaining a healthy weight and engaging in regular exercise can reduce the severity of cellulite, it’s seldom able to truly get rid of it. This is because cellulite is caused by genetic factors, not lifestyle.
The 2014 introduction of Cellfina, an effective cosmetic treatment for cellulite, has therefore been heralded as revolutionary by many sufferers. While a few cosmetic procedures have attempted to tackle cellulite in the past, most of them were only able to temporarily relieve mild to moderate cases. Cellfina, on the other hand, works on most patients who are a healthy weight and produces more lasting results (Cellfina can greatly reduce the appearance of cellulite for two years or more). A preliminary study of 55 Cellfina patients revealed that 99 percent of those treated experience significant improvements in the appearance of their cellulite within the first year following treatment. Unsurprisingly, this led to a reported satisfaction rate of 94 percent. In other words, there’s finally a way to safely and easily free ourselves from unsightly lumps and bumps on our skin.
What Makes Cellfina Different From Other Cellulite Treatments?
Cellfina is more effective than other cosmetic treatments for cellulite (like radio frequency and laser-based procedures) because it can actually change the underlying structure of cellulite. Cellfina treatments gently release the septae, which are fibrous bands that exist beneath the skin. It’s these tissues that are responsible for pulling the skin down and creating the signature “puckered” appearance of cellulite. By releasing them, Cellfina causes the skin to become much smoother, allowing patients to wear swimsuits and shorts with confidence.
Better still, Cellfina is a minimally invasive procedure, meaning that it causes little pain and does not require extensive healing time. Most women who undergo Cellfina treatments are advised to wear a supportive garment and avoid strenuous activities for a week; after this, they can resume their usual routine.
