Do you wear loose clothes or shapewear because you feel self-conscious about cellulite? Have you tried to use tanning creams to diminish the appearance of dimples? Do you wish you could rid your skin of cellulite so you could feel self-confident once again? If so, you are probably a good candidate for Cellfina at DFW Center for Aesthetics and Cosmetic Surgery in Southlake, TX. Today, we’re taking a closer look at this treatment.
How Many Cellfina Treatments Are Needed?
You should only need one Cellfina treatment per area to achieve your ideal results. Depending on your schedule, you may be able to treat all areas of concern in one session. However, you should keep in mind that the results of this treatment won’t last forever, so you will need follow-up treatments in the future.
How Quickly Does This Treatment Work?
Cellfina works incredibly quickly to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Most clients start to see an improvement in their appearance after just a week. However, it can take anywhere from one to two months for the final results to become apparent. You can see your final results faster by wearing a compression garment.
How Long Can I Expect My Final Results To Last?
The longevity of individual treatments varies, but it is not unheard of for results to last for 36 months. As soon as you start to notice your results fading, you are free to schedule a follow-up session and restore the smooth, healthy skin you’re proud of.
What Is Cellfina?
Cellfina is a non-invasive treatment designed to treat the root cause of cellulite. Cellulite develops when fat is stored between the connective tissue running between muscle and skin tissues. The subcutaneous fat deposits apply a great deal of pressure to the connective tissues, causing them to tug at the skin. This results in the formation of dimples.
Before your treatment begins, the dimples in the treatment area will be marked. Then, a special device with a needle attached to it will puncture each dimple, breaking up the underlying connective band. As a general rule, the entire treatment session can be completed in under two hours.
What Kind of Cellulite Can Cellfina Treat?
This treatment is most effective when used on cellulite that appears as dimples. In fact, it is so effective on dimple-like cellulite that the FDA approved it for the treatment of such cellulite on the buttocks and thighs.
What Does This Treatment Feel Like?
This treatment doesn’t feel like much of anything at all. Before your session begins, we will numb the area of concern. You may feel a little suctioning during the treatment, but the needle penetration won’t cause you any pain or discomfort.
How Much Recovery Time Should I Expect?
You shouldn’t expect much recovery time at all. In fact, since there is no anesthesia required to keep you comfortable during your treatment session, you will be able to drive once your appointment is over. However, you should consider taking a day or two off from work to rest. Also, you should consider wearing a prescription-strength compression garment to speed up your brief recovery period.
Can This Treatment Be Used To Tighten Loose Skin?
No, this treatment is not designed to tighten loose skin. It is only designed to smooth out the regions of the skin dimpled from cellulite.
Why Should I Consider Cellfina?
There Is Virtually No Downtime
Due to the non-invasive nature of this treatment, there is virtually no downtime required afterward. You will only need to take around two days off from work, a much smaller time commitment than other treatments.
The Results Become Apparent Almost Immediately
Another incredible benefit of this treatment is that the results become apparent very quickly. You’ll start to notice your skin smoothing out after mere days, and it only takes weeks for your final results to develop fully.
Your Treatment Plan Will Be Custom Tailored
Clients also love this treatment because each treatment plan is unique. Remember, each dimple of cellulite is marked before treatment so you can rest assured that all of your concerns will be addressed and your results will be satisfactory.
You Don’t Have to Worry About Scarring
Despite the special device we use puncturing your skin, you don’t have to worry about scarring. This is because we use a tiny needle to deliver treatment rather than making long, slow-healing incisions to treat cellulite.
Your Results Will Last for a Long Time
Clients also love how long the results of this treatment last. Since only one session is required to provide ideal results and results last for up to three years, achieving your dream body has never been more convenient. Even if you have several large areas with lots of dimple-like cellulite, you only have to trade a couple of hours for years of self-confidence.
This Treatment Helps You Look Slimmer and Younger
Often, cellulite makes people look older and heavier than they actually are. If you get this cellulite treatment, you can forget about dimples making you look heavier or older. Just a month or two after your treatment, you will look slimmer, younger, and healthier than you have looked in years.
The best part is that your appearance will improve gradually over the course of several weeks, so nobody will suspect a cosmetic treatment is responsible for your young, healthy look. Rather, people will think that the improvement in your appearance is the result of leading a healthy lifestyle by getting regular exercise and eating reasonably portioned, well-balanced meals.
This Treatment Will Help You Feel More Comfortable In Your Own Skin
People often report that cellulite affects their self-confidence. In fact, their self-confidence is affected so much that they base their wardrobe choices on how well their cellulite is hidden and apply cosmetics in an attempt to diminish their dimples. After just one treatment session with this innovative device, you will have the confidence to wear the shorts, swimwear, and skinny jeans you’ve been neglecting in your closet for years.
Am I a Good Candidate for This Treatment?
Cellulite Makes You Feel Self-Conscious
If you feel self-conscious about the appearance of dimple-like cellulite on your buttocks or thighs, there is an excellent chance that you will qualify for this treatment. There is an even stronger chance that you will qualify if you have attempted other cellulite reduction methods, like massages and creams, to no avail.
You’re Healthy
The best candidates for this treatment are non-smokers who are in fairly good general health. For instance, it is important to have a BMI no greater than 35 to qualify for this treatment. Also, it is important that you are not nursing, pregnant, or suffering from certain underlying conditions, like heart disease.
You Don’t Think Surgery Is Right for You
Another sign that Cellfina may be right for you is a desire to not undergo surgery. This treatment is also great for people who don’t qualify for surgery for one reason or another.
You Have Healthy Skin
It is very important that your skin is healthy to qualify for this treatment. For instance, your skin should not be infected at the time of your appointment, and it should be free from irritation. Ideal candidates for this treatment also have fairly elastic skin. During your initial consultation, we will evaluate your skin elasticity to verify that you qualify for this treatment.
What Steps Can I Take To Prevent Cellulite in the Future?
Some of the causes of cellulite, like skin type and genes, can’t be controlled. Your age is another risk factor of cellulite development that you can’t do anything about. However, there is hope. You can mitigate your risk of developing cellulite in the future by maintaining a healthy weight.
You can also reduce your chance of developing cellulite by maintaining a good skincare routine. For instance, anti-aging treatments that promote collagen production are great for the health of your skin. Staying hydrated will also help you keep your skin looking smooth.
