Cellulaze is an innovative new procedure that is revolutionizing the way cellulite is treated in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills.
If you experience cellulite issues, you are not alone. More than 80% of women have unwanted cellulite that they would like to get rid of once and for all. Unfortunately, cellulite is a peculiar cosmetic issue that can’t be treated with traditional body sculpting procedures such as liposuction. It’s not a fat-related problem; it’s actually caused by structural issues beneath the skin’s surface. As a result, cellulite has posed a particular challenge to medical professionals offering cosmetic services.
For years, numerous cellulite treatments have been introduced to the market. Some of these have been minimally invasive “quick fixes,” while others are more extensive surgical procedures. However, none of these treatments have delivered the high-quality, long-lasting results patients desire – until now.
HOW DOES CELLULAZE WORK?
Cellulaze is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure available in LA and Beverly Hills that is done in one session and takes approximately 2-3 hours according to these simple steps:
Tiny incisions the size of a pen tip are made in the treatment area
Dr. Berger applies local anesthesia to the area to minimize discomfort
A small tube called a cannula containing a special laser fiber is inserted into the incision site
Dr. Berger will guide the laser-containing cannula in order to level out bumps of fat and release the fibrous bands that pull down on the skin to cause the dimpled appearance known as cellulite, which will also thicken and tighten the skin
Collagen production is stimulated by the laser treatment, giving your skin a smoother texture and more depth which will further reduce the appearance of cellulite
There is minimal downtime associated with this procedure, and you should be able to resume regular activities within a few days.
Cellulaze is a one-time treatment that stimulates collagen growth at the cellular level. In doing so, this cellulite treatment works with your body to produce increasingly noticeable results over the course of one or more months. Optimal results are often achieved within three months but may continue to improve even after that, helping ensure your skin stays smooth and attractive for years to come.
Liposuction and fat grafting can be used to surgically remove cellulite, but better results can be achieved with laser therapy.
When will I see results from Cellulaze?
The Cellulaze treatment begins reducing cellulite immediately, but it can take a few months for the full results to become visible. Most patients begin to notice significant results in 3-4 months with continued improvement over many additional months.
How long does Cellulaze last?
Cellulaze creates a long-term reduction in cellulite that has been clinically proven to last up to 7 plus years.
How much does Cellulaze cost?
Dr. Berger will discuss the details of your treatment including the cost at the time of your one-on-one consultation. For your convenience, we offer multiple financing options to keep your treatments as affordable as possible. Pricing does not include lab work, medical exams and facility fees.
Is Cellulaze permanent?
Cellulaze results are not permanent, as some patients may experience the gradual return of cellulite in the years following their treatment. However, the results last many (up to 7 plus) years, and can be easily maintained with repeated treatments.
What areas can be treated by Cellulaze?
Cellulaze is FDA-approved to treat cellulite in the most common areas, such as the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and arms. It targets the underlying structural causes of cellulite, not just the surface appearance. The treatment is ideal for areas with visible dimpling and skin laxity. Many patients see a noticeable skin smoothness and contour improvement in just one session.
How does Cellulaze differ from creams or massages?
Unlike topical creams or massage therapies that only offer temporary surface results, Cellulaze works beneath the skin. It uses laser energy to break apart the fibrous bands that pull the skin downward, melting fat and stimulating collagen production. This results in longer-lasting skin tightening and a reduction in dimpling. Cellulaze addresses the root cause of cellulite rather than masking it.
Is Cellulaze FDA-approved?
Yes, Cellulaze received FDA approval in 2012 as the first minimally invasive laser treatment for cellulite. It was cleared based on studies demonstrating both its safety and its effectiveness. The procedure is now widely used by experienced providers for patients seeking lasting cellulite improvement. Its FDA approval also means it meets strict medical standards for patient safety.
How long does the Cellulaze procedure take?
The Cellulaze treatment typically takes between 90 and 180 minutes, depending on the number and size of areas treated. It is an outpatient procedure so patients can return home the same day. The laser is applied under the skin using a small cannula through tiny incisions. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
Is anesthesia required for Cellulaze?
Yes, local anesthesia is typically used to numb the treatment areas, and mild sedation may be offered to enhance comfort. General anesthesia is not necessary, which helps reduce recovery time and minimize risks. Patients remain awake but relaxed throughout the procedure because it’s minimally invasive, and post-procedure discomfort is usually mild and manageable.
How many treatments of Cellulaze are needed?
Most patients require only one Cellulaze session to achieve visible and long-lasting results. This single treatment improves skin structure, tightens tissue, and reduces fat bulges. In some cases, touch-up treatments may be considered after several years. As new collagen forms, Results typically improve over three to twelve months.
Will I have scars after Cellulaze treatment?
Scarring after Cellulaze is minimal, as the procedure uses tiny incisions—about the size of the tip of a pen. These tiny entry points usually heal quickly and are barely visible once fully healed. Surgeons often place them in discreet locations to further reduce visibility. Proper aftercare leaves most patients with smooth skin and no noticeable scars.
How should I prepare for Cellulaze treatment?
Before treatment, you’ll meet with your provider for a personalized consultation and medical evaluation. You may be advised to avoid blood thinners or anti-inflammatory medications for a few days before the procedure. Arrange for someone to drive you home, especially if sedation is used. Wearing loose, comfortable clothing and staying hydrated can also help support a smooth experience.
