Cellucision: Permanent elimination of cellulite.

Cellucision is a trademarked term that refers to what we believe is the gold standard for effective permanent elimination of areas of cellulite.

The procedure, using a subcision type minimally invasive technique of releasing fibrous bands with a small blade/needle, was originated by Dr. Doris Hexel, a dermatologist in Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The technique appears to be more precise and reproducible than a similar laser technique called Cellulaze. 

Post procedure care includes a compression garment that is worn for one month. Some bruising may occur however it generally fades in about 2 weeks.

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.
