Cellulite is incredibly common, and it doesn’t always respond to workouts, creams, or healthy eating. For many people, dimpling on the thighs or buttocks persists despite their best efforts.
Our board-certified dermatologists use Cellfina® to treat the underlying cause of cellulite at Bucay Center for Dermatology & Aesthetics in San Antonio, Texas. It’s a clinically proven way to reduce cellulite with results that last.
What Is Cellfina?
Cellfina is an FDA-cleared treatment most commonly used on the thighs and buttocks, where cellulite dimples tend to stick around no matter how healthy you are. Unlike surface creams that only go skin-deep, Cellfina works beneath the surface to release the tight connective bands called septae that pull down on the skin and cause that puckered look.
The treatment is done in a single office visit. No surgery, no general sedation, and most people are back to their regular activities within a day or two.
How Cellfina Works
During the procedure, a small device is used to administer local anesthesia. Then, your provider inserts a tiny blade just under the skin through a small puncture to loosen the fibrous bands. This blade releases the tension created by these bands and smooths out the skin in the affected area.
You’ll likely start seeing smoother skin within just a few days. As the treated area continues to heal, results gradually improve over the next several weeks. Clinical studies have shown that results can last up to three years or even longer.
What to Expect During Recovery
Recovery after Cellfina is generally straightforward. Mild bruising, tenderness, or swelling can happen, but these side effects usually fade within a few days.
Most people are back to work and back to their routines within a day or two. While everyone heals a little differently, downtime is minimal, and the results are well worth it.
