Facts On Cellulaze Somerville Residents Should Know

By George Wagner


Cellulite is characterized by bumps and dimples distrusted in areas such as buttocks, thighs and the abdomen. Although the condition is not associated with any serious underlying condition, it is a major cause for concern due to the unsightly nature of the affected skin. Cellulaze is one of the treatments that have been tried for this condition with remarkable success. There are a number of facts on cellulaze Somerville residents need to know if they wish to have the treatment.

Having some background knowledge on what the underlying problem in cellulite is will help us appreciate why some treatments work and others do not. When fat cells are deposited in various regions of the body, they end up in the subcutaneous region (the area just below the skin). The fat often gets trapped into small compartments made up of stiff connective tissue. The result is formation of small bumps and dimples in that region.

Cellulaze works by targeting the pockets of fat under the skin and damaged connective tissue which are all believed to be predisposing factors of cellulite. The area being treated may be numbed using local anesthesia but you will remain awake. Several small cuts are made in the area of interest cannulas are inserted through them. A laser beam that is delivered through the cannulas will be used to liquefy the pockets of fat and to breakdown connective tissue.

A session usually takes between sixty and ninety minutes depending on the size of the area to be treated. Clients are usually allowed to go home on the same day. The incision wounds usually heal quite well in a few days and scars are hardly a problem. As a precautionary measure, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to prevent infections. Do not be worried about the tissue fluid draining from the wounds as it will stop within a day or two.

Very little preparation is required for a person that wishes to have this treatment. There are a number of things that you need to do to increase the chances of success. If you are a smoker, it is a good idea that you stop the habit for two weeks before and after the treatment. Smoking is known to affect the healing process and may delay your recovery.

You may see some changes immediately and more improvements will be seen in subsequent weeks. Optimal results are usually visible after about twelve months. There is a need to avoid engaging in strenuous physical activities for a period of one to two weeks. Expect some bruising and swelling in the treated area but these should resolve spontaneously within a few days.

It is important to stress that patience is an important attribute for persons that wish to benefit from this treatment. This is because results are not immediate and they vary from one person to another. There is a gradual improvement as collagen tissue remodeling takes place. Note that cellulite may occur after a couple of years after which re-treatment will be needed.

Cellulaze can be performed on its own or alongside liposuction. When the two are performed at the same time, the outcomes tend to be a lot better. Discuss with your doctor to find out if you can have the two procedures concurrently and what the cost implications are.
