Whether you’re bothered by the appearance of cellulite or have already explored various treatments, you may be curious about effective solutions to achieve smoother skin without surgery. At Gynecology and Cosmetic Surgery Center of Atlanta in the Peachtree Corners/Norcross, GA area, experienced gynecologist and aesthetic specialist Dr. Gerry Sotomayor is dedicated to helping patients achieve lasting results and enhancing their confidence using the least invasive means possible. Here, you’ll discover helpful information on improving the unsightly appearance of cellulite with nonsurgical Cellulaze™, including its benefits, treatment areas, and what to expect from this innovative procedure.
Cellulite is a common cosmetic concern characterized by the dimpled or lumpy appearance of the skin, often found on the hips, thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. Many factors, such as genetics, hormones, poor circulation, and lifestyle habits, may contribute to cellulite, but the physical or technical cause of cellulite is the presence of tight, fibrous bands that connect various layers of muscle and tissue. When these connective bands are overly taut, fat cells between them can bulge through gaps, creating the classic ripples and dimples associated with cellulite.
Even with weight loss or the use of topical products, cellulite can be notoriously challenging to remove. However, Cellulaze offers a nonsurgical solution for reducing the visible appearance of cellulite and achieving smoother, more toned skin. Unlike other treatments, Cellulaze targets the underlying structural causes of cellulite by melting fat and releasing connective bands, providing more dramatic and longer-lasting results compared to many other cellulite treatment options.
Cellulaze treats cellulite on various areas of the body, including the:
During your consultation for Atlanta, GA cellulite reduction, Dr. Sotomayor will evaluate your areas of concern and determine where and how Cellulaze may be most suitable for you.
During a Cellulaze procedure, Dr. Sotomayor will make tiny incisions in the treatment area and insert a small cannula containing a laser fiber. The laser energy is then used to target fat cells and break down the fibrous bands beneath the skin that contribute to the appearance of cellulite. Additionally, the laser energy stimulates collagen production, resulting in smoother skin for an even more desirable outcome.
While Cellulaze can significantly improve the appearance of cellulite, it’s important to have realistic expectations for your results. While many patients experience smoother, firmer skin after treatment, individual results may vary depending on the amount and severity of the patient’s cellulite to begin with, their lifestyle habits and overall health, their unique response to treatment, and other factors. Some residual dimpling or irregularities may still be present, but overall, the skin’s texture and tone are often noticeably improved.
While it may take several months for the full results of Cellulaze treatment to become apparent, patients often enjoy smoother, sexier skin for up to a year after treatment. With proper maintenance and follow-up care, including a healthy lifestyle and occasional touch-up treatments, the results of nonsurgical cellulite reduction with Cellulaze can be maintained long-term.
