New Cellulaze Treatment Proves Effective Against Cellulite
LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — It’s been called “cottage cheese skin,” and “the orange peel syndrome.” Cellulite is a condition that has women hiding under their clothes or their beach towels.
But now, a new technology can permanently reduce cellulite by 50 to 70 percent.
It’s called Cellulaze, and it’s an FDA-approved surgical laser therapy that attacks the structure of cellulite.
Doctors conduct the procedure under local anesthesia in one to two hours. It costs between $5,000 and $7,000.
“Nothing really gets rid of cellulite 100 percent,” Dr. Nicholas Nikolov says. “However, with Cellulase, we can improve cellulite by 50-70 percent depending on the cause and the amount of cellulite. And this is permanent; it’s not a temporary treatment.”
“Some of the results you see immediately,” Nikolov says. “Two months later, you see a bigger improvement. But the final improvement is finalized after about two years.”
