Additional Information (provided by Merz)
Procedure Description:Cellfina treats the primary structural cause of cellulite -- the connective bands woven throughout fat in the thighs and buttocks. These tight bands pull down the skin, creating the puckering seen on the surface of the skin. Similar to a rubber band under tension, once released, the treated skin bounces back to smooth itself out. The minimally invasive, in-office procedure takes approximately 45 minutes, depending on the patient and number of areas being treated.
