Cellfina is a breakthrough device that has refined the technique of subcision to treat cellulite.
Dr. Maas continues to offer Avéli treatment for cellulite, as well as select liposuction procedures performed in conjunction with facial fat transfer surgeries. For additional surgical body procedures, patients may be referred to trusted specialists and colleagues. Please contact our office for more information or for a list of recommended providers.
Compared to other cellulite treatment options, Cellfina produces a more consistent look and has slowly become the “go-to” surgical option. For those who want to avoid surgery, VelaShape and VelaSmooth are the first non-surgical FDA-cleared medical devices for cellulite reduction, body shaping, and localized circumferential reduction treatment in areas such as the thighs, buttocks, hips, and abdomen.
Cellulite is a herniation or bulging of the fat, giving the skin an uneven, dimpled appearance, usually around the thighs, buttocks, and lower areas of the body. In between the bulges of fat, fibrous bands extend from the deeper tissues of the skin, which is actually what holds the skin down, creating the dimpling look we all can recognize as cellulite.
Cellfina goes underneath the skin to divide up the fiber bands holding the skin down, thereby releasing it and leading to a smoother look. By releasing these bands, Cellfina improves the smoothness of the skin, but it does not actually treat the protruding fat.
Cellfina is becoming more and more popular for the treatment of cellulite and can be done on an outpatient basis.
