Patient Review

This is an excerpt of a review that was posted on Zwivel, Connecting Cosmetic Doctors & Patients. Read the entire patient testimonial here.

I received the Cellfina treatment in January of 2017 to get rid of cellulite and dimpling on my butt. When I heard about Cellfina as a cellulite treatment, I must be honest, I was skeptical because there are so many topical products and treatments that claim to be great at cellulite removal, but don't really work. I was encouraged to try Cellfina because of its effectiveness and I was informed that this was the 1st minimally invasive treatment that could permanently get rid of dimples.

If you look at my BEFORE picture, you can see my cellulite and dimpling on both cheeks. My AFTER picture is taken about 3 weeks’ post-treatment and as you can see, there is virtually no dimpling whatsoever! It really is amazing! Who would have thought that a minimally invasive procedure would have worked so well?

On a pain level scale of 0-10, the pain I felt during the procedure was a 0-1. Once my butt was fully numbed up, I couldn't feel a thing. I was only treated on the buttocks; I had 14 spots that were identified and circled before the treatment. My results completely mirrored what I was told would happen and I couldn't be happier. I would 100% have this procedure done again if new or more dimples and cellulite appear over the next few years. The old dimples and cellulite that were treated are permanently gone but it doesn't mean new dimples won't form in the future.

The recovery time for Cellfina depends on how many areas you have treated. I spent 7-10 days recovering with a combination of special padding taped to my butt and compression shorts that I wore under my jeans. Sitting down on hard surfaces was rather sensitive for me and I had to be careful about bumping into things or people out on the street. I used special creams to treat the light bruising I had and my doctor gave me an antibiotic to take before and after treatment.

This procedure has changed my life in terms of being way more comfortable in my skin (when I'm naked), in my bikinis when I'm on the beach and in revealing clothes during the summertime. I now feel empowered wearing short denim shorts that previously made me feel insecure trying on.

I couldn't be more in love with Dr. Deanne Robinson, my dermatologist who performed Cellfina on me. I see Dr. Robinson for many of my dermatology and skincare needs and always find her completely trustworthy, professional and knowledgeable. She's a skilled dermatologist and extremely personable. If you get nervous about invasive procedures, she's the doctor you want to go to because she has a very calming demeanor. She's so friendly and you'll leave her office feeling like you made a new best friend.
