Cellulaze Cellulite Treatment
Conveniently located to serve New York City
Address stubborn cellulite at its root with Cellulaze, the first FDA-approved cosmetic surgery for cellulite. Unlike creams or other short-term solutions, Cellulaze targets the fibrous bands and fat deposits beneath the skin that cause a dimpled appearance.
At Manhattan Surgical Care, double-certified cosmetic surgeon Basil Pakeman, M.D., F.R.C.S. performs this minimally invasive laser procedure as a long-lasting solution for smoother, firmer skin.
What Causes Cellulite?
Cellulite forms when fibrous bands under the skin tighten irregularly, pulling the skin downward, while fat cells push up against the surface. Factors like genetics, hormonal changes, and lifestyle habits can exacerbate the appearance of cellulite. Despite being harmless, many people feel self-conscious about the dimpled texture, prompting them to seek effective cellulite removal solutions like Cellulaze.
How Cellulaze reduces Cellulite
Using a thin laser fiber, Cellulaze treats cellulite in the most common problem areas:
- Thighs
- Hips
- Back of the legs
- Buttocks
Cellulaze targets the very source of cellulite, which is threefold: thin skin, pockets of fat, and tight connective tissue bands. The tight bands of connective tissue (called septae) pull down on the skin, bulging the pockets of fat.
Since cellulite originates beneath your skin, treating it with surface measures like creams and lotions is difficult. Cellulaze changes all that by using laser technology to release these tight tissue bands and thicken your skin.
Cellulaze Cellulite Treatment Benefits
Cellulaze stands out for its ability to release fibrous bands, reducing the puckering effect while stimulating collagen production for firmer, more elastic skin. This treatment requires only a small incision and is performed under local anesthesia, making it a straightforward and effective option.
Dr. Pakeman, recognized as a pioneer in cosmetic surgery for minimally invasive approaches, is dedicated to offering his patients technologies and techniques designed to deliver outstanding results while ensuring comfort throughout the treatment process. Here are some additional benefits of a Cellulaze treatment with Dr. Pakeman:
- Achieve smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
- Benefit from a moderate skin-tightening effect provided by the heat from Cellulaze.
- Resume full activities within one to two days.
- See immediate results that continue to improve over three to six months.
Am I an Ideal Candidate for Cellulaze?
The best candidates for Cellulaze are individuals near their ideal weight but struggle with stubborn cellulite that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise.
Cellulite is quite common among women, with many experiencing the most pronounced cellulite around age 35. This age is when the skin may begin thinning. Cellulite can be an obstacle to feeling confident and beautiful, but with Cellulaze, you can enjoy effective cellulite reduction that can last a year or longer.
This treatment is most effective for mild to moderate cellulite. A consultation with Dr. Pakeman can help determine if this procedure is right for you.
How Is Cellulaze Treatment Done?
A Cellulaze treatment is an outpatient procedure at Manhattan Surgical Care. During the treatment session, Dr. Pakeman will make small, round incisions through which an instrument called a cannula will be inserted. The narrow, tube-like cannula contains the laser fiber that treats the cellulite and your skin.
The laser fiber breaks down the fibrous bands that cause the dimpled appearance. These bands pull down on the pockets of fat, creating cellulite.
The heat from the laser also liquefies excess fat and stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and texture. Depending on the size of the treatment area, the procedure lasts one to two hours.
Cellulaze Recovery and Aftercare
Cellulaze is minimally invasive, and the recovery is relatively quick. Most patients experience mild bruising and swelling, which subside within a week. Compression garments are often recommended to support healing. You can return to daily activities within five to seven days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for four to six weeks.
