Frequently
Asked
Questions

We want you to feel confident at every stage of your journey, so here are answers to the questions patients ask most often.
What is Cellfina and how does it work?

Cellfina is a minimally invasive treatment that targets the structural cause of cellulite. It works by releasing the fibrous bands beneath the skin that create visible dimpling. Once these bands are released, the skin can smooth out naturally, improving the appearance of cellulite.

How long do Cellfina results last?

Clinical studies show that Cellfina results can last at least three years, often much longer. Because the treatment addresses the root cause of cellulite rather than the surface, improvements are long-lasting and do not rely on ongoing maintenance.

Is Cellfina painful?

Most patients describe Cellfina as comfortable. A local anaesthetic is used to numb the area, so you may feel pressure or movement but not pain during the procedure. Mild soreness, swelling, or tenderness afterwards is normal and usually settles within a few days.

How soon will I see results?

Some smoothing can be visible within a few days, but the most noticeable improvement develops over a few weeks as the skin relaxes and the release of the fibrous bands takes full effect. Results continue to refine over several months.

Am I a good candidate for Cellfina?

Cellfina is ideal for patients with dimpled cellulite on the buttocks or thighs caused by tight fibrous bands. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin, the type of cellulite you have, and your goals to determine whether Cellfina is the right treatment for you.

The Process

Pre-Treatment

Before your Cellfina treatment, you’ll have a thorough consultation to review your goals, medical history, and suitability for the procedure. We’ll assess the type and severity of your cellulite, explain how Cellfina works, and ensure you feel fully informed about what to expect.

Treatment

Cellfina is performed under local anaesthetic to keep the area completely numb and comfortable. A small, precise device is used to release the fibrous bands beneath the skin that create dimpling. The procedure typically takes 45–60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.

Post-Treatment

After treatment, mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness is common and usually settles within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. We’ll provide personalised aftercare guidance and remain available for ongoing support throughout your recovery.

Sides Effects & Risks

As with any minimally invasive procedure, potential risks include temporary bruising, swelling, tenderness, or numbness. These are typically short-lived. All risks will be discussed in detail during your consultation to help you make an informed decision.

Why Treating Cellulite with Cellfina Matters

If cellulite is caused by tight fibrous bands beneath the skin, no amount of skincare or exercise can smooth the dimpling on the surface. Cellfina targets the root cause, releasing these bands to create long-lasting improvement and restore confidence in how your skin looks and feels.
