How Cellfina works to improve the appearance of cellulite 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 you see on the surface of the skin. Similar to a rubber band under tension, once released, the treated skin bounces back to smooth itself out in as little as three days. This one-time cellulite treatment is performed at a doctor’s office in less than an hour. The FDA-cleared Cellfina cellulite treatment typically takes less than an hour. Performed by a qualified physician in an office setting, Cellfina combines a proven approach with innovative, proprietary technology to treat the primary structural cause of cellulite. First cellulite dimples are marked. Then the provider delivers a local numbing agent followed by the treatment itself. Afterward, patients are able to go about their day, but many want to take it easy for up to 24 hours. Results are visible in as little as three days and those results are still evident three years after the treatment.
