Almost everyone deals with cellulite — over 90% of people, as a matter of fact! While cellulite may be something we all have, not everyone has the same experience or feels the same way about their cellulite. For those who wish to minimize or eliminate the appearance of cellulite dimples in problem areas like the thighs or buttocks, Cellfina may be right for you, especially when you aren’t ready for cosmetic surgery.
What Causes Cellulite?
Cellulite comprises tight bands of connective tissue that attach to the skin and pull it further into the body. The appearance of these bands may be minimal on their own, but when fat accumulates around these tissues, they naturally push the surrounding skin up and outwards, leaving the visible dimples we associate with cellulite. This makes cellulite especially visible in areas that tend to accumulate and hold on to stubborn fat, like the thighs and buttocks.
Many skin care products claim to reduce the appearance of cellulite, but without addressing the root problem in these tight connective tissues, no product can offer genuine results that last. That’s why more involved procedures are the best choice to get rid of stubborn cellulite dimples. Cellfina is one of the most effective ways to address the root cause of cellulite.
Cellfina: Treat the Root Cause of Cellulite
Cellfina does more than superficially smooth cellulite dimples; it targets the underlying causes of cellulite. In under an hour, Cellfina can treat cellulite with one treatment. Patients report significant improvement in the appearance of cellulite on the buttocks and thighs. Cellfina is administered with an injected numbing agent. There are minimal side effects associated with this treatment, with the most common side effects being soreness or bruising that improve over time and are only felt with applied pressure to the treated area.
Advantages of Cellfina Cellulite Treatment:
- Minimizes or eliminates cellulite dimples in problem areas
- Targets the root cause of cellulite, not just surface appearance
- FDA-approved and backed by expert surgeons
- Quick procedure with results lasting up to five years
- Minimal side effects, such as soreness or bruising
- Suitable for individuals with dimpled cellulite
- Uses rapidly vibrating microblade technology for precise treatment
How Cellfina Cellulite Treatment Works
Cellfina is an FDA-approved, nonsurgical procedure that reduces the appearance of cellulite. Using microblade technology, our team can target the areas where cellulite thrives and release the tight connective tissues causing cellulite dimples for upwards of five years. Because cellulite is caused by tight tissues connecting the skin and deeper tissues, Cellfina works by gently cutting these cords of tissue, releasing the skin and allowing it to smoothen out with the rest of the surrounding area.
What makes Cellfina special is the tiny, rapidly vibrating blade on the end of the device. This technology is thus able to disrupt the cellulite in pointed areas until all the dimples have been released. Around 25 dimples can be treated in just one hour, and you can start seeing results in as little as three days after treatment.
Patient Testimonials
”PSCHR has by far exceeded my expectations!!! From the initial call to schedule a consult to my post-op care, Dr.Blanchard and his team have been exceptional. Everyone in the office is very courteous, professional, timely and prompt with all matters (urgent or not). I had a small issue that needed to be addressed and the nurse assisting me went and above and beyond to assure I had a resolution. I can’t say enough how much I would recommend this team! Thank you again Dr. Blanchard!!!

You should always meet with one of our experienced surgeons to determine if this treatment is right for you.
The Ideal Candidates for Cellfina Cellulite Treatment Include:
- Those between the ages of 20 and 60
- Those who maintain a stable weight
- Those with generally elastic skin with minimal looseness
Cellfina Cellulite Treatment in Hampton Roads
First, your experienced surgeon will administer a numbing agent to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. This numbing process is essential as it allows you to remain pain-free during the treatment. Once you’re numb, the cutting-edge microblade technology with a tiny, rapidly vibrating blade will precisely target and address the root cause of cellulite. The microblade gently cuts the tight connective tissues that create unwanted cellulite dimples. Cellfina can treat up to 25 dimples within one hour.
As the cords of tissue are disrupted and released, your skin begins to smoothen out. You’ll start noticing visible results in at least three days following the treatment. Some minor pain, bruising, soreness, or tenderness is normal after a Cellfina procedure, but these will go away in a few days. You may benefit from wearing compression garments like yoga pants or bike shorts and limiting exercise for about two weeks after your Cellfina treatment for the best results. Cellfina provides results that can last for five years or more.
Cellfina Cellulite Treatment Recovery Guidelines:
- Take it easy and allow your body to recover.
- Refrain from intense workouts for about two weeks.
- Consider using items like yoga pants or bike shorts for support.
- Adhere to any specific guidelines provided by your surgeon.
- Maintain proper hygiene to prevent infection.
- Drink plenty of water to aid in the healing process.
- Keep an eye out for any unusual swelling, redness, or discomfort.
- Take prescribed pain relievers as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Minimize or eliminate alcohol and tobacco use to support healing.
