Cellulite Treatment – Cellfina in Derry

Cellulite is the result of pockets of fat underneath the skin pushing up against connective tissue bands underneath the skin. While we’re not entire sure why cellulite occurs, the dimpled look in the skin often occurs in part because of weakened stores of collagen and elastin—the proteins that make up connective tissue. Because of weakened connective tissues in the skin, the fat stored underneath the skin are able to push up and create a lumpy appearance. Factors like aging (leading to a decrease in collagen stores and skin elasticity) and hormonal changes (leading to an increase in stores of fat) have been said to contribute to the development of cellulite.

In a single session you can finally erase those buttock and thigh dimples!

The longest lasting FDA approved treatment for cellulite- Study data is now available showing persistent resolution of cellulite even 5 years post procedure.

The Cellfina® System treats the primary structural cause of cellulite which is the connective bands which exist throughout the fat in the thighs and buttocks. These bands pull down on the skin, creating the puckering you see at the surface. Once released, the skin in the treated area is able to “snap back”, smoothing itself as quickly as three days later. Celfina was FDA approved back in 2015, but at that time only dermatologists and plastic surgeons were able to purchase the device. Dr. Vuich continued to request access, and finally this year the system has become available to advanced service medical spas such as Renew MediSpa. We have a unique advantage as well, as our nurse, Beth Wagner, was a national trainer for this device until she came to work for Renew MediSpa full time. So, needless to say, we have the expert in house!

The Cellfina handheld device is used to sever the connective tissue bands which cause the dimples. Each template is sterile, single patient use.

The cost of Cellfina® Cellulite Treatment varies since severity (number of dimples requiring treatment) varies.

One measure called the Nurnberger-Muller Cellulite Classification Scale rates the severity of cellulite. There’s three stages: Stage 1 is when dimpling is present when the skin is pinched, but not present when someone’s standing up or lying down. Stage 2 is when dimpling appears whenever a person lies down—but only when they’re laying down. At stage 3, cellulite is present regardless of whether someone is lying down or standing up. The ideal VelaShape patient is someone with a BMI of less than 30, but is classified at stage 1 or 2 in the Nurnberger-Muller Cellulite Classification Scale. It’s important to keep in mind that VelaShape is not a weight loss procedure, but is effective for reducing stubborn pockets of fat that are impervious to diet and exercise. In the end, we’re all different, so the best way to find out if you’re a candidate is to schedule a consultation with the Renew MediSpa staff. Stage 3 cellulite will likely require Celfina.
