Cellulite Reduction

Cellulite is indiscriminate. It affects women of all shapes and sizes from thin women to fit women to curvy women. In fact, it is estimated that 90% of women have some degree of cellulite. Furthermore, it’s been statistically proven to adversely affect self-esteem. In one study, 97% of women with cellulite said they’d like to change it. The problem has been that cellulite is hard to treat — until now. Cellfina is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure that addresses the actual underlying cause of cellulite. The end result is smoother, healthier looking skin. And best of all, it only takes one visit to achieve long lasting results.

Kayo Daily Remodeling Serum

This multi-functional hydrating serum is instilled with Hyaluronic Acid and Copper Peptides to help enhance the appearance of skin. Skin is saturated with long-lasting deep hydration from Hyaluronic Acid and Kayo’s Omega Oil Blend, while skin is further layered with Kayo’s antioxidant rich Superfruit Blend, leaving skin energized and radiant. Founder's Notes: This body product was modeled after true high impact face serums, with the quintessential lighter feel and texture of a serum, perfect for layering based on your unique skin type and needs. Moisture is primarily delivered through Hyaluronic Acid (think deep water hydration) rather than topical oil hydration. This product can be used by itself for normal to oily skin, but is recommended under other Kayo products, such as The Body Beautiful Crème or Kayo's Cellular Repair Evening Oil for skin that needs deeper oil based hydration. When layering Kayo's body products use the same technique you would with face products - lighter products like serums first, heavier products like lotions and oils after.

Considering Plastic Surgery? What You Should Know First

Cellfina Consultation in Beverly Hills

If you are bothered by lumpy or dimpled looking skin on your:

thighs
hips
buttocks
abdomen
arms

Schedule an appointment to come in and speak with us about Cellfina and/or the right combination of treatments to address your particular needs. During your cellulite treatment consultation, Dr. Nazarian will listen closely to what bothers you about your body. She will ask about your medical history, family history, skin care regime as well as any prior procedures, both surgical and non-surgical. Then, she will perform a thorough physical examination to assess your:

skin tone & texture
fatty deposits, if any
skin elasticity
body contour
dimpling

Together, you will discuss the best dermatological treatment plan for your anatomy and goals. Cellfina can be performed on its own, but Dr. Nazarian will often combine it with other body contouring procedures such as V-Sculp body contouring, liposuction, fat transfer, Sculptra or Renuva injections, Kybella, Morepheus8, and BodyTite.

What Do Only Women Get Cellulite?

Only women tend to develop cellulite due to the direction of our connective tissue. The upper layer of subcutaneous fat on the body is comprised of both fat cells and connective tissue. In women, this tissue runs vertically. Cellulite occurs when the connective tissue becomes tight, causing dimpling in the skin. Men, on the other hand, have connective bands of tissue that are criss crossed so they don’t pull on the skin vertically. Estrogen also plays a role in the development of cellulite. Not only can it cause our fat cells to clump together, but it’s also why women have more fat reserves than men. Furthermore, women have thinner skin which makes cellulite more visible. We also tend to store fat in the lower part of the body where there is more muscle movement which can push on your fatty layer, making cellulite appear. This is one of the reasons why even very fit women can have cellulite.

Ideal Candidate for Cellfina Dermatological Treatment

Many factors come into play when determining whether or not you will develop cellulite and to what degree. These include:

age
genetics
hormones
lifestyle choices such as smoking & alcohol consumption
stress
environmental toxins like pollution

Because cellulite is so prolific, the ideal candidate for Cellfina is any woman who is in good overall health and who:

is bothered by dimples on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and/or hips
has uneven or mottled looking skin texture
avoids wearing certain clothing because of cellulite
feels bad about herself due to her butt dimples, for example

It is important to understand that Cellfina is not a weight loss technique. It is a procedure to improve your skin texture. Cellfina will address the lumps and bumps that are often described as resembling cottage cheese or an orange peel. The end result is smoother, vibrant, healthier looking skin.

Benefits of Cellfina

There are hundreds of products on the market for treating cellulite. However, most of them don’t work because they only treat the surface layer of the skin, causing it to swell and temporarily look better. The great thing about Cellfina is that it actually addresses the underlying structural cause of cellulite which is the tight, vertical bands of connective tissue that are producing the dimpling at the skin surface. By cutting and releasing these bands, Cellfina enables your skin to smooth out. And this all occurs in only one session. The benefits of Cellfina include:

it’s effective
the procedure is fast, taking only 45 minutes
there is no need for multiple sessions
no down time (some bruising and temporary red dots where the small blade is inserted to cut the connective tissue bands)
minimally invasive
FDA approved
safe
long lasting results (three years minimum)

The makers of Cellfina are so sure about the efficacy of their product that if your cellulite returns within a year, they will pay for you to have the procedure done again.

Cellfina Procedure & Recovery

Cellfina is performed as an out-patient procedure in our Beverly Hills office. First, Dr. Nazarian will mark the cellulite dimples in your treatment area. Next, a local anesthetic will be applied to completely numb the area. Cellfina is a hand-held device that contains a motorized micro-scalpel. The machine creates a vacuum that sucks up the skin in your treatment area. The scalpel, which is about the size of a needle, then severs the vertical bands of connective tissue that are the root cause of your cellulite. Once these tight bands are released, you will see visibly smoother skin in about 3 days and the appearance will actually continue to improve for 3 months.

Other than bruising, there is really no downtime associated with Cellfina. You can return to your normal activities immediately although Dr. Nazarian does recommend that you take it easy for the first 24 hours. You can expect to be sore after your Cellfina procedure. This is normal and will resolve in a couple of days. You will also have some post procedure bruising. In the Cellfina studies, 9 out of 10 people had complete resolution of bruising within 1 month. The majority of the bruising is gone in 2 weeks. We do recommend that you take our medical-grade Arnica/Bromelain/Vitamin K pills before and after your procedure. They are available for purchase in the office or by phone.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Is Cellfina surgery?

No. But it does involve some tiny pokes. The device has what is called a micro-scalpel. It is basically the size of a needle. This scalpel specifically targets the tight vertical bands of connective tissue that are the root cause of your cellulite. Like a rubber band, once this tissue is released, your surface skin bounces back to smooth. It’s really pretty remarkable.

How long before I see my results?

One of the things that I like most about Cellfina is that it works fast. Patients will see an improvement in the appearance of their cellulite in as little as 3 days. I think this is one of the big reasons why Cellfina has such a huge patient satisfaction rating. After years of feeling ashamed about their cellulite, patients are able to quickly attain smoother, more vibrant looking skin. And these results improve for 3 months and then last for at least three years or more.

Are there any downsides to Cellfina?

No. The only real side effects are soreness and some bruising after your treatment. But neither bothers patients to the point where they need to take time off of work or their daily activities.

How long will my Cellfina results last?

In studies, the results from a Cellfina treatment lasted at least three years. And it only takes one session to get these results. This is why this modality is such a game changer.

What is the recovery like after Cellfina?

I advise my patients to take it easy for the first 24 hours, but there is no down time associated with Cellfina. You will be sore and bruised. But nothing that will prohibit you from returning to your normal activities immediately.
