Cellfina Cellulite Treatment with Dr Tiago
Alice Hart-Davis meets Dr. Thiago Gamera of Sthetixs Clinic in Liverpool to discuss Cellfina, an innovative treatment for cellulite. This procedure targets the structural cause of cellulite, offering a long-term solution.
How Cellfina Works
Understanding Cellulite: Cellulite is compared to a sandwich, with fibrous bands (like elastic bands) running through the fat layer. These bands contract over time, creating dimples on the skin’s surface.
Procedure:
Local Anesthetic: The area is numbed using a local anesthetic.
Guidance and Release: The Cellfina machine guides the release of the fibrous bands, allowing the skin to smooth out.
Depth: The procedure works at a depth of 6 millimeters, but can go up to 10 millimeters if necessary.
Patient Experience
Comfort: The use of local anesthetic and distractions like music make the procedure comfortable.
Downtime:
Bruising and Swelling: Patients may experience bruising and swelling the day after the procedure.
Compression Garments: Wearing compression garments helps manage swelling and aids recovery.
Work and Activity: Most patients can return to work the next day.
Results
Initial Changes: Visible improvement can be seen as early as 14 days post-procedure.
Optimal Results: The best results are typically seen between three to six months after the treatment, making it ideal to undergo the procedure well in advance of summer holidays.
Conclusion
Cellfina provides a minimally invasive and effective treatment for cellulite by addressing the underlying structural issues. With minimal downtime and long-lasting results, it offers a promising solution for those looking to smooth out cellulite dimples.
