Cellulite. It’s a common concern, yet the right treatment can help you achieve smoother skin and greater confidence. If dimples on your thighs or buttocks have left you searching for solutions, Dr. Corey Maas, a board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Dr. Rajaie plastic surgeon offer some of the most effective and FDA-approved procedures available today.
At The Appearance Care Center in San Francisco, we specialize in advanced anti-cellulite treatments that target fibrous bands—the root cause of unwanted bumpy, uneven-looking skin. Whether you want to explore Avéli, Cellfina, or VelaShape, our team can help you reclaim a sleek appearance with minimal downtime.
Cellulite forms when fibrous septa (connective tissues) harden and draw inward, giving rise to prominent dimples. These bands pull the skin downward, leading to an unwanted bumpy texture. While fat cells may contribute, cellulite is not just a fat issue—it’s a structural concern that requires a distinctive approach.
Avéli is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure that meticulously addresses the primary structural cause of cellulite—fibrous bands. This streamlined, 3-step process works from the inside out, providing long-lasting results.
✔ First, a guided probe is placed beneath the skin to pinpoint the septa responsible for dimpling.
✔ Once identified, each band is precisely released, freeing the skin from tension.
✔ Importantly, real-time confirmation ensures the release is complete, resulting in visible smoothness shortly after treatment.
Patients usually see improvement within a week or two, with less bumpiness than they had before. Some may experience mild soreness or tenderness, but over-the-counter pain relievers can help ease any discomfort.
Cellfina also targets and disengages the connective tissue bands pulling the skin inward. The device works beneath the skin to separate the septa, effectively creating a smoother surface. Results are not immediately noticeable due to swelling, but after a short recovery period, patients see dramatic improvement.
For those who prefer a non-surgical option, VelaShape uses a combination of radiofrequency, infrared light, and tissue massage to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. While multiple treatments may be required, it’s a popular choice for patients seeking aesthetic refinement without downtime.
Both men and women who are bothered by lower-body dimpling can benefit from these treatments. The ideal patient:
