Cellulite, a common yet often distressing condition, affects 80-90% of post-pubertal women. Factors like age, body type, and genetics play a role in its prevalence, making it a widespread cosmetic concern.
Addressing this issue, Cellfina offers a transformative solution. As an FDA-approved, non-surgical approach, this minimally invasive treatment is skillfully administered by Dr. Darren M. Smith. It precisely targets and releases the fibrous bands responsible for cellulite’s dimpled appearance on the buttocks and thighs.
Using advanced subcision technology, Cellfina effectively smooths away the lumps and bumps associated with cellulite, providing results that can endure for five years or more.
What is Cellfina?
Many women deal with cellulite, which causes uneven, bumpy skin. Cellfina is a breakthrough treatment that significantly reduces these lumps and bumps on the buttocks and thighs. It offers the freedom to wear shorts and swimsuits without worry.
How Does Cellfina Work to Treat Cellulite?
Cellfina addresses cellulite’s root cause by focusing on the connective tissue bands beneath the skin. Using a precise microblade technique, Cellfina releases these fibrous bands, allowing the skin to smooth out.
The treatment is not only efficient (typically taking less than an hour) but also offers lasting results, with improvements visible in as little as three days and lasting up to five years.

Cellfina combines safety, effectiveness, and convenience in cellulite treatment:

- Efficient Treatment: Capable of treating up to 25 dimples in just one hour.
- Long-Lasting Results with a Single Treatment: Enjoy visible improvements for up to 5 years, eliminating the need for frequent sessions.

Cellfina’s FDA approval, efficiency and minimal invasiveness make it a preferred choice for cellulite treatment.
Am I a Good Candidate for Cellfina?
Cellfina is designed for women seeking to address moderate to severe cellulite, particularly in the buttocks and thigh areas. It works best for those with healthy skin in these regions and is effective across all skin tones and colors.
Cellfina is most effective for individuals who meet these criteria:
- Age Range: Ideally between 20 and 60 years old.
- Stable Weight: Best results are seen in those with a consistent body weight.
- Skin Condition: Minimal skin laxity is important for effective treatment.
- Specific Cellulite Areas: Cellfina is particularly effective for cellulite on the thighs and buttocks.
Cellfina is most effective for specific cellulite dimples, rather than widespread areas. It’s ideal for targeted spots but may not yield dramatic results for larger cellulite zones.
Dr. Smith recommends a personal consultation to evaluate if Cellfina is suitable for you. He provides a customized approach to ensure the best possible results.

What are the key differences between Cellfina and Cellulaze for cellulite treatment?
To provide a clear comparison between Cellfina and Cellulaze, here’s a concise side-by-side overview:
| Feature | Cellfina | Cellulaze |
| Method | Uses a microblade to cut fibrous bands | Uses a laser device and heat energy |
| Effectiveness | Best for deep dimples | Suitable for larger areas and wavy cellulite |
| Collagen Production | Not directly targeted | Supports collagen production |
| Recovery | Less downtime | More swelling and bruising |
| Cost and Risks | Lower cost, fewer risks | Higher cost, more risks |
| Patient Satisfaction | Higher (around 75%) | Lower (around 50%) |
| Results Duration | Lasts up to 3-5 years | Varies, often shorter than Cellfina |
While both treatments are FDA-approved and effective, Cellfina offers distinct advantages. It is particularly effective for deep dimples and has a lower cost, fewer risks, and a higher patient satisfaction rate.
Additionally, the results from Cellfina are known to last up to 5 years, making it a more enduring solution. Its safety profile, coupled with less downtime, makes it a preferred choice for many patients seeking cellulite reduction.
