How does the Cellfina system work?

The Cellfina system treats the primary structural cause of cellulite — the connective bands woven throughout fat in the thighs and buttocks. These tight bands pull down the skin, creating the puckering visible on the surface of the skin. Similar to a rubber band under tension, once released, the treated skin bounces back, creating a visibly smoother look.

How soon will I see the results of Cellfina?

Results may start to appear in as little as three days and last up to three years. A U.S. study of Cellfina results revealed that the appearance of cellulite was improved in 98% of the subjects two years following the treatment.

FAQ

Does Cellfina involve cutting?

Cellfina treatments do not require general anesthesia. It relies on a minimally invasive, small needle-sized device to treat the cellulite-causing bands just beneath the surface of the skin. The device creates a small puncture in the skin, which heals to being virtually invisible over four to six weeks.

How long do results last?

Patients in the pivotal study showed significant improvement shortly after the treatment, with results lasting at least five years, longer than any other FDA-cleared cellulite treatment.

Are there any side effects?

No serious adverse events were associated with Cellfina in the pivotal study. The most common side effects reported by patients were soreness, tenderness, and bruising. Just three days after treatment, patients rated their pain as minimal (2.7 on a scale of 0 to 10; 0=no pain, 10=extreme pain), and most (82%) felt pain only with touch or pressure to the area treated. This minimal pain improved quickly with time. More than 90% of patients had no bruising at four weeks.

Will I need to take time off?

There is limited downtime associated with Cellfina. Some patients experience initial soreness and tenderness, but these side effects resolve quickly. It is common for most patients who are treated on a Thursday or Friday to return to work on the following Monday.
