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.

Fraxel Laser for Stretch Marks



Did you know that Fraxel laser treatment can do more than skin resurfacing?

True, it is great for skin texture and making skin look younger, but it is also the treatment of choice for acne and surgical scars and can reduce the visibility of unwanted stretch marks.  Stretch mark treatment with a fractional laser, which promotes collagen production and thickening of the dermis, can reduce their appearance.

Fractional laser treatments can dramatically improve stretch marks and improvements in texture and color can be achieved with a series of treatments.  A series typically consists of 5 to 6 treatments.
