Cellulite, or better said, the appearance of cellulite has many underlying causes.
What is certain is that 80% of the Caucasian female population suffers from the appearance of cellulite. One of the reasons for this is that in women the connective tissue fibers run perpendicular to the surface of the skin. This causes the subcutaneous fat to push its way to the skin surface resulting in dimples. Another cause for the creation of dimples is the changing skin structure, reduced blood circulation and an increased number of fat cells.
Whether or not CELLFINA is right for you depends on the underlying cause of your cellulite and its appearance.
Step 1: Compare the appearance of your cellulite to the following 4 videos:
Type 1- Ideal for Cellfina treatment
- Moderate dimpling
- Positive stretching test: Despite raising the skin on the buttocks and upper thighs the dimples are maintained. This is structural Cellulite.
Type 2- well suited for Cellfina
- Strong dimpling
- Positive stretching test: Despite raising the skin on the buttocks and upper thighs the dimples are maintained. This is structural Cellulite.
Type 3- moderately well suited for Cellfina
- moderate dimpling
- Negative Stretching test: The appearance of dimples are reduced or disappear when the skin on the buttocks and upper thigh is raised. This is not structural cellulite but primarily a result of skin laxity
Type 4- not well suited for Cellfina
- Strong dimpling
- Negative Stretching test: The appearance of dimples are reduced or disappear when the skin on the buttocks and upper thigh is raised. This is not structural cellulite but primarily a result of skin laxity
