Does CoolSculpting® Work on Cellulite?
CoolSculpting® is a revolutionary treatment designed to help individuals obtain significant fat reduction without the need to undergo surgery. While the appearance of cellulite is very common and often occurs in areas of the body that accumulate excess, isolated pockets of fat, it’s important to note that cellulite is a different kind of condition and therefore cannot be effectively diminished with CoolSculpting®. Cellulite is the result of fibrous bands (connective fibers) pulling the skin downward from within, creating dimple-like depressions. To reduce the appearance of cellulite, these bands must be loosened, which can ultimately lead to a smoother appearance. CoolSculpting® is designed to help the body naturally filter out excess fat cells in specific areas; it does not have the ability to address the fibrous bands that cause cellulite. However, our plastic surgeon and his experienced team at Aesthetic Plastic Surgical Institute offer another popular procedure that can do just that: Cellfina™.
Cellfina™ is an FDA-cleared procedure that can reduce the appearance of cellulite on an array of body areas with long-lasting results. The treatment is minimally invasive, utilizing a technique that applies light amounts of pressure on the fibrous bands under the skin. This pressure can ultimately release the connective fibers that are creating the dimple or “crater” effect associated with cellulite, helping the skin to appear smoother in the targeted areas. Cellfina™ is known as one of the most advanced and effective ways to noticeably diminish signs of cellulite, and the treatment has an extraordinarily high satisfaction rate among patients.
