Cellulite Solution in Sacramento? Cellulaze is offered by Dr. Andrew Kaczynski

What is Cellulaze and why is Advanced Concepts in Plastic Surgery thrilled to be the first and only center offering it in Northern California? Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, your cellulite frustration can be over! Here are a few quotes from the official press release of the new cellulite reducing laser device from Cynosure, the makers of SmartLipo Triplex that was recently approved by the FDA as the first effective laser treatment of cellulite! We will be offerring Cellulaze beginning March 2012.

Cellulite has always been the holy grail in the area of cosmetic surgery because while a lot of products say they are a solution, most women after trying many creams, lotions and other devices, understand there has never been a truly effective way to reduce it once and for all. These Cellulaze before and after pictures are amazing.

“Cellulaze is the world’s first and only minimally invasive medical device designed to treat women
who have struggled to eliminate cellulite through diet and exercise, or have tried the myriad of
lotions and creams currently on the market,” said Cynosure President and Chief Executive Officer
Michael Davin. “Unlike those products, Cellulaze is the only aesthetic device that directly treats the
physiological structure of cellulite, providing clinically proven, results.”

Cellulaze reduces cellulite – in just one treatment – by restoring the normal structure of the skin
and underlying connective tissue. Cellulaze diminishes the lumpy pockets of fat, releases the areas
of skin depression typifying cellulite and increases the elasticity and thickness of the skin.
Nearly four years of clinical research puts Cellulaze in a class of its own: the only single-treatment
aesthetic procedure clinically shown to reduce cellulite. Clinical data has demonstrated that
Cellulaze treatments can increase the thickness of the skin by 25% and increase the elasticity of the
skin by 29% at one year. No other anti-cellulite treatment has been proven to deliver these results.

Cellulaze uses a proprietary SideLight 3D™ side-firing technology to target the causes of cellulite
beneath the skin: herniated pockets of fat, stiffened septae and thin skin. During the procedure, a
tiny laser fiber is inserted under the skin, which gently heats the skin and disrupts or melts the fat.
Next the laser releases the fibrous bands that create the dimpling effect from pulling down on the
skin. This release creates a smoother look. Finally the laser’s energy stimulates collagen production
to increase skin’s thickness and elasticity for a more even, healthier appearance.
Patients usually see improvements within a few weeks, with the most significant results continuing
to develop for a few months following the procedure. Cellulaze also complements other body
shaping technologies, such as Cynosure’s Smartlipo™ family of workstations.

Plastic Surgery Timeline – When Will I Heal By?

In plastic surgery, often one of the biggest questions patients will ask me is,”how long will I be down after this procedure?” Of course, this depends on the surgery and partially on an individual basis although for the most part, it is pretty predictable.

I recently found a little straight-forward article by a husband and wife plastic surgery team out in Columbus Ohio who summed it all up very nicely. Drs. Christine and Michael Sullivan of The Sullivan Centre are certified plastic surgeons and this is what they wrote:

Breast Augmentation or Liposuction (Including SmartLipo TriPlex)
To be ready by New Year’s, have surgery by December 1.To be ready by Valentine’s Day, have surgery by January 14.To be ready for Graduation, have surgery by April 20.To be ready by Independence Day, have surgery by June 4.To be ready by Labor Day, have surgery by August 1.To be ready by Thanksgiving, have surgery by October 22.To be ready by Christmas, have surgery by November 25.

I found this to be very accurate and helpful! Good job, Drs. Sullivan!
