Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Does Cellfina or any procedure work on bad cellulite on upper inner arms from armpit to elbow? (
Cellfina may not work on arms
May 3, 2017
The question of exactly which types of cellulite we can treat with Cellfina is an interesting one. Typically we treat the buttocks and outer thighs, but that is evolving. We performed the original cellulite and Cellfina research several years ago at my dermatology practice. During that initial trial, we focused on the buttocks but found evidence that outer thigh cellulite tended to respond to Cellfina as well. When we started to look at the outer thighs, we also…
Why is miradry said to last only 2 years?
MiraDry lasts longer than 2 years
May 3, 2017
We performed much of the original scientific research at my dermatology practice. The FDA is relatively strict about claims a company can make about effectiveness, and the original published data collected from the studies only went out 2 years. But real world clinical experience is now approaching 10 years, and efficacy has persisted in the majority of patients that have been treated. The general consensus from treating physicians is that miraDry effectiveness is…
Can Cellfina significantly improve the appearance of my buttocks?
You can be improved with near 100% certainty using Cellfina
Mar 14, 2017
I completely agree with my colleagues who believe you can be helped by Cellfina. In the clinical trials that were performed in our research center, we proved that 99% of patients achieved noticeable improvement following Cellfina treatment. This improvement lasts for many years (if not permanently), and patient satisfaction is extremely high (near 95%). Importantly, Cellfina works beautifully on the buttocks, so I would expect you to achieve significant improvement…
How effective is Cellfina in treating thigh cellulite?
Cellfina helps 99% of patients
Mar 5, 2017
Cellfina is the longest lasting, most effective FDA cleared treatment for cellulite. The original clinical trials, which were performed in my office, demonstrated that 99% of patients improved within 4 to 6 months. In addition, more than 95% of these patients are pleased with their results. Now that Cellfina has been widely available in clinical practice, patients routinely comment about how pleased they are with the quality and extent of improvement of their cellulite. My…
Does Miradry stop underarm sweating and the acrid odor associated with the sweat?
Perfect miraDry candidate?
Mar 5, 2017
You may be the perfect miraDry candidate. MiraDry is effective in over 95% of patients for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis. But one of the under-recognized benefits that comes along with treatment is the elimination of order. This combination of sweat and odor reduction is incredibly satisfying to patients. About 60% of patient achieve success after only one treatment, and nearly all patients are satisfied after two.
I want to know what procedure would be right for me to eliminate my cellulite.
Cellfina can help your cellulite
Apr 4, 2016
Although you have a challenging subtype of cellulite, it is likely that a carefully performed Cellfina procedure can help. We are learning quite a bit about the nuances of Cellfina, and your type of cellulite with both linear and dimpled depressions can often be improved.  The key is for your physician to use very small areas of release, which improves both the effectiveness and safety of the procedure.  Although it is unlikely that all of your cellulite will disappear, data shows that…
Are Cellfina results permanent or is maintenance required?
Is Cellfina permanent?
Apr 19, 2015
The best way to answer this question of permanence is to look at the cause of cellulite. For years we wondered if cellulite was caused by a problem with fat or a problem with collagen. When researching Cellfina, we discovered and proved that the cause of cellulite is collagen, specifically the fibrous bands that annoyingly pull down on the skin from underneath and cause dimples. By gently releasing those fibrous bands with Cellfina, we have proven that we can improve and in…
