San Jose, CA — The division of fat into pockets by structural connective tissue causes cellulite’s recognizable dimpling, explain San Jose plastic surgeons Jerome H. Liu, MD and Tom S. Liu, MD. They indicate women more often develop this benign skin condition than men due to their biological makeup, which determines that the collagen in their skin is arranged in coordinating rows, facilitating the development of fat compartmentalization. A newly FDA-approved cellulite treatment, the Cellfina™ System, may be one of the best non-surgical procedures available to address this concern, the plastic surgeons reveal.

Numerous cellulite treatments are currently available over-the-counter, Dr. Tom Liu states. He adds that they typically come in topical form and utilize caffeine or retinol to generate limited improvement in the appearance of skin dimpling.

The Cellfina™ System, Dr. Jerome Liu contrasts, is designed to smooth the skin with long-lasting results with a single treatment. He explains that the modality involves applying pressure to the connective bands that cause the uneven texture until they fray and release. Furthermore, he says Cellfina™ usually has minimal down time.  The San Jose plastic surgeons note that the benefits of treatment will be visible as early as three days and may continue for a year or more.

Ultimately, Dr. Jerome Liu and Dr. Tom Liu say they endeavor to provide an informative resource for patients researching non-surgical cellulite treatments. They believe that when performed by an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon, the Cellfina™ System can provide excellent results that will last well beyond what can be achieved by over-the-counter creams and topical skin smoothers. They recommend individuals interested in cellulite reduction should speak with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine if they may be candidates for this revolutionary technique.
