What Should I Expect After My Cellfina Treatment?

What Should I Expect After My Cellfina Treatment?

Have you heard?

There’s a new cellulite reduction treatment on the market – one that promises to not only visibly reduce the appearance of dimpling but also deliver long-lasting cellulite results that can last for more than two years.*

The name of the innovative treatment is Cellfina, and as an FDA-approved, minimally invasive cellulite solution, it’s already a popular option with patients looking to wear bathing suits, white pants or shorts with more confidence. The treatment itself is simple – Cellfina uses a needle technology to release connective tissue bands that exist throughout fat in the thighs and buttocks. These bands tightly pull down the skin, creating cellulite dimpling. Similar to a rubber band under tension, once released, the treated skin bounces back to smooth itself out in as little as three days.*

If you’re considering Cellfina treatment, you may be wondering what you should expect after treatment. Here’s what to anticipate:

  • There’s little to no downtime or recovery associated with Cellfina treatments; however, you may notice some bruising and soreness at the treatment site. This soreness tends to disappear after a few days but bruising can persist for up to a month.
  • You’ll notice a (nearly) immediate improvement in the appearance of your cellulite, with final results visible within the first two weeks after treatment.*
  • Most patients only need one Cellfina treatment to see ideal results.* You’ll discuss with Dr. Boudreault how many treatments you may need to achieve your goals.
  • Over 80% of patients are still happy with their Cellfina results two years after their initial procedure, making this a highly successful procedure.*

Don’t let cellulite stop you from feeling as confident as you deserve. Contact Illuminate Plastic Surgery in Palo Alto or San Jose, CA for an evaluation to determine if you’re an ideal candidate for a Cellfina procedure. Call (650) 433-8621 today to book an appointment with Dr. David Boudreault and our Palo Alto plastic surgery clinic team.
