The Longest FDA-Cleared Duration for Cellulite.
Clinical studies show no recurrence of cellulite after three years. Due to those studies, there should never be a recurrence of the treated cellulite. Performed by our Board-Certified Plastic Physician, Cellfina® treats the primary structural cause of cellulite for a smooth and healthy look.

How does Cellfina® work?
Cellfina® treats the primary structural cause of cellulite—the connective bands woven throughout fat primarily found in the thighs and buttocks. These tight bands pull down the skin, creating the puckering you see on the surface of the skin. The Cellfina® treatment includes a small micro-blade that severs this connective band which causes immediate release of the tension causing the cellulite.
Results
We expect immediate results from a Cellfina® treatment, which will continue to improve over time. Studies have shown that even after 3 years, there is no reoccurrence of the treated cellulite.

The Cellfina® System Process
01
Pre-Treatment
We will begin by marking the affected areas while the client is in a standing position. We will also administer any pre-medication indicated by the physician.
02
The Treatment
The physician places a circular suction on areas to be treated and administers a local anesthesia for patient's comfort. The physician inserts a microblade to treat the connective bands just under the skin.
03
Post-Care
The client will wear a compression garment for 1-2 weeks post procedure. Most clients can go back to work the day after the treatments.
04
Follow Up Photos
We will schedule a follow up photo session 60-90 days post treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions.
How long do results last?
Results can be seen in as little as three days. In the pivotal study, patient satisfaction was 85 percent at three months, 94 percent at one year, 96 percent at two years and 93 percent at 3 years, surpassing the patient satisfaction rates of other leading cellulite treatments. AesthetiCare believes this treatment to be permanent based on our years of experience with Cellfina and clinical research.
Does Cellfina involve cutting?
Cellfina® does not involve an operating room or 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.
Does it hurt during the treatment?
The treated area is numbed by our physician. After this, there is no discomfort during the treatment.
Will I need to take time off?
There is limited downtime associated with Cellfina. Some patients experience initial soreness and tenderness after numbing has subsided, but these side effects resolve quickly with time.
