Cellulite is a vexing problem for many women, because no matter how much they diet and exercise, they can’t seem to get rid of it. But Cellfina has provided new hope for women wishing to eliminate cellulite in the long term. But are Cellfina results permanent?
What is Cellfina?
Cellfina is a cutting-edge treatment for cellulite on the buttocks and thighs. Cellulite forms as a result of connective bands of tissue that are woven throughout the layer of subcutaneous fat below the surface of the skin. These bands pull down on the skin, and create the cellulite dimples that are seen on the surface.
Cellfina works by releasing the skin from the connective bands. This causes the cellulite dimples to pop up, making the skin smoother.
Are Cellfina Results Permanent?
Cellfina is FDA cleared for the treatment of cellulite, and can smooth cellulite dimples away for up to 3 years. This is the longest FDA approved duration for a cellulite treatment. Cellfina is long lasting and does not require any maintenance treatments, because it addresses the primary structural cause of cellulite.
Unlike other cellulite treatments that target the problem on a superficial level, Cellfina attacks cellulite below the surface. The Cellfina system uses a tiny needle to break up the bands that are the source of the problem, and this completely resolves the dimpling.
Most patients see significant changes 3 weeks after Cellfina treatment and improvements will continue for up to 12 months. Patients that participated in clinical studies were still happy with their results after 3 years.
