Dr. Fater is the only Board Certified Plastic Surgeon on Cape Cod doing the Cellulaze

Cellulite isn’t a far problem; it’s a structural problem below the skin, and that’s not your fault. So why do so many cellulite treatments focus on treating fat from above the skin? Only Cellulaze attacks the brittle structural bonds beneath the skin that are the real cause of cellulite’s dimpled appearance. And Cellulaze increases your skin’s natural depth for a smoother, healthier look that lasts. All from just one simple treatment.

Cellulaze Your Cellulite. Because you can’t look new in the same old skin.

You’ve tried diet and exercise.

No matter how many pounds you lose or how often you frequent the gym, cellulite may still be a problem. It’s not your fault  since diet and exercise can’t address the fibrous bands that pull down on the skin and cause that dimpled appearance of cellulite.

You’ve tried creams and massage.

No matter how many lotions or creams you try, you can’t seem to get rid of it. That’s because creams only work superficially, on the surface of the skin. To make matters worse, you have to apply them constantly or your cellulite returns.

You’ve tried hiding it.

Covering up has been the only way to conquer cellulite. Until now: Cellulaze™ can treat what was once considered untreatable.

Ready to get results that last*?

Cellulaze is a unique treatment that uses laser energy to:

  • Disrupt trapped pockets of far
  • Release fibrous bands that pull down on skin
  • Stimulate collagen growth, for thicker, more elastic and healthier looking skin

How Does Cellulaze™ work?

A very small cannula (or tube about the size of the tip of a pen) is inserted under the skin. Cynosure’s unique SideLight laser fiber inside the tube delivers energy directly under the skin. This increases the depth and quality of your skin, while simultaneously releasing the fibrous bands that pull it down – minimizing the orange peel look associated with cellulite. Finally, the laser is used to diminish the lumpy pockets of fat that protrude through the fibrous bands under your skin.

How do I know if Cellulaze is right for me?

Cellulaze delivers the best results for women who are not significantly overweight but have mild to moderate cellulite on their thighs. Talk to your Cellulaze physician to discuss your needs.

What does the procedure feel like?

Because the area is numbed with local anesthesia  there is minimal discomfort during the procedure. You may feel a light pressure. Following a Cellulaze treatment, you may experience some soreness, but you will be able to return to your normal activities in a day or two.

I’ve tried everything to get rid of cellulite. How do I know Cellulaze really works?

Cellulaze is backed by two years of clinical research. Studies have shown that it increases the thickness of your skin by 25% and the elasticity of your skin by 29% – significant claims that haven’t been made by any other treatments.* Thicker and more elastic skin can help flatten and smooth the skin’s surface to improve the appearance of cellulite.

How long do the results last?

You’ll see some improvement right away with optimal results  apparent between 3-6 months. Since new collagen is formed in the areas treated with Cellulaze and the structures under the skin are altered… results are lasting. Clinical studies have shown results can last for one year or more. However, it is important to maintain a health diet and exercise regimen to continue to enjoy the excellent results.

  • Only treatment that attacks the very structure of cellulite
  • One simple treatment
  • Proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite
  • Treatment that lasts*
  • Produces healthier looking skin
  • Lose the cover-ups for good
  • 93% patient satisfaction*

The procedure uses safe radio waves to heat your skin and targeted fat cells. This thermal energy speeds up your metabolic activity of the fat cells causing them to shrink. At the same time it stimulates and strengthens the collagen network which improves skin laxity and texture.

Exilis is one of the first systems that promises actual circumferential reduction. By combining RF energy with cooling, we can treat all areas of the body where stubborn fatty deposits persist or tighter, firmer skin is desired. While the RF energy is heating the dermis, patients remain relaxed and comfortable as the system’s digital thermometer provides real-time monitoring and constant feedback as the skin’s temperature, thus ensuring a comfortable and safe treatment.

The most frequent areas treated with Exilis Therapy in men are the “love handles”, breasts, abdomen, face, jowels and neckline. In women they include face, jowels, neck, décolletage, arms, “bra fat”, thighs, hips, breast, buttock, stomach, and knees.

Large breasts may be cosmetically desirable for some women, but they often result in unwanted side effects, such as chronic neck, back and shoulder pain, poor posture, or a skin rash below and between the breasts. Many large-breasted women develop deep grooves on their shoulders from bra straps. Physical activities may be restricted, and fitting and wearing comfortable clothes may be difficult. For women dissatisfied with these side effects, breast reduction can be the answer.

 

Procedure
Breast reduction surgery can be conducted on an inpatient or outpatient basis. General anesthesia is most commonly used. The surgeon makes an anchor-shaped incision around the areola, vertically from the areola to the natural crease below the breast, and horizontally across the crease below the breast. Excess skin, fat and breast tissue is removed to reach the desired size. Sutures are used to close the incision. If the reduction is dramatic, the areola may need to be removed and repositioned on the breast. The surgery generally lasts about 3 hours.

 

Recovery
Drainage tubes may be inserted in the breasts to help remove excess liquid the first day or two after the surgery. A dressing will also cover the area. Swelling, bruising and sensitivity are normal the first few weeks and will dissipate over time. Generally, sutures are removed in 7 to 10 days and patients return to work within 2 to 3 weeks. However, no heavy lifting or strenuous activity is permitted for 4 to 6 weeks.
