Appropriate Treatment of Cellulite

The appropriate treatment of cellulite is dependent on its severity.  For mild cellulite, ultra sound can be very beneficial.  We perform it weekly for a series of 6-18 treatments.  The cost is moderate and there is no downtime.

For more severe cases it is necessary to eliminate the bands which hold down the fat into depressions: for this we use Cellucision℠ which is done with a needle sized blade. There is a healing period of about a month when compression garments must be worn.  There may be some bruising.  Results in our Center and in Brazil appear to be permanent for those treated areas. Our website has more information on Cellucision.

Fraxel Laser for Stretch Mark Removal

STRETCH MARKS

There has been absolutely NOTHING that has improved stretch marks until now. The Fraxel laser ( both 750 & 1550 ) has shown remarkable uniformly reproducible results on white stretch marks anywhere on the body. 

We at the Skin Rejuvenation & Body Contouring Institute have treated 100's of patients with the Fraxel laser for over 4 years with many gratified patients.

A series of 5 treatments spaced a month or more apart is optimum, though improvement is frequently noted after the first treatment. There is no downtime: merely some redness & mild swelling for a few days.
