What happens during a Cellulaze procedure for Walnut Creek residents?
Are you struggling with cellulite? Do you want to feel more confident in
your own skin? If so, it may be time to consider a Cellulaze procedure.
Walnut Creek dermatologist, Dr. Christine Lee, of The Skin and Laser
Treatment Institute, provides Cellulaze treatment to reduce the
appearance of cellulite on the thigh, buttocks, and legs. Women of all
ages can experience cellulite, which is a visual dimpling of the skin.
It is caused by tight connective tissues underneath the skin, and fat
that is trapped in the area. Patients with thinner skin may experience
more severe cellulite.
Many patients turn to Dr. Christine Lee after having tried
oral medications, massaging techniques, and body creams and lotions.
None of them reduce cellulite The FDA has approved Cellulaze as a proven
technique for reducing the structural conditions that cause cellulite
and improving the appearance of the skin’s texture. The results last and
can be improved with exercise and a nutritional diet.
The process of a Cellulaze procedure is relatively simple.
Patients are anesthetized with a local numbing agent that is injected
into the treatment area. Several very small incisions are made, and the
Cellulaze wand (called a cannula) is inserted to deliver the laser
energy that breaks up the connective bands of tissue causing the
cellulite to occur. The lumpy, fatty deposits underneath the upper layer
of skin are broken down, and the appearance of the skin’s texture will
greatly improve. The procedure itself will take less than two hours, and
is an outpatient procedure.
After the treatment, you may feel a little sore and achy,
but this is mild and it will only last a day or two. There may be some
light bruising, and a compression garment should be worn. After 48
hours, you can resume normal activities.
The results of Cellulaze can be seen right away, and, over
the course of several months, the condition will improve even more. The
small incisions will not leave very visible scars. Many patients enjoy
the results that they achieve, and are happy with receiving the
Cellulaze procedure from a qualified, skilled, and experienced doctor
such as Dr. Christine Lee.
