A close-up shot of cellulite on a woman's thigh before Cellfina in Scottsdale You work out, eat well, and still notice cellulite on the thighs or buttocks that just won’t smooth out. If you’ve wondered why this dimpling is so hard to get rid of — and whether there’s a long-lasting option that actually addresses the cause — you’re not alone. You also have options, including Cellfina, an FDA-cleared cellulite treatment.

At Stutman Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, AZ, Cellfina is offered under the care of Dr. Ross Stutman, a board-certified plastic surgeon known for advanced training and a deep understanding of human anatomy. In this blog, you’ll learn what Cellfina is, how it works, and who may benefit most.

What Is Cellfina?

Cellfina is a minimally invasive treatment designed specifically to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Unlike creams or devices that focus only on the surface, Cellfina targets the structural cause of cellulite beneath the skin.

Cellulite forms when fibrous bands, called septae, pull downward on the skin while fat pushes upward. This tug-of-war creates the puckered, dimpled look many people notice on their thighs or buttocks. Cellfina works by releasing those tight bands.

What Happens During a Cellfina Appointment?

Cellfina is performed in a single in-office session using local anesthesia. During the procedure, a small handheld device gently suctions the skin to stabilize the area. A tiny needle is then used to break up the fibrous bands that are responsible for dimpling.

Clinical studies have shown that many patients experience visible, lasting improvement from this service. For example, according to this study published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 95.6% of patients were satisfied with their results three months post-treatment.

What Areas Can Cellfina Address?

Cellfina is most commonly used on the thighs and buttocks. It’s best suited for well-defined, dimple-type cellulite rather than loose skin or generalized texture changes. A meeting with Dr. Stutman helps determine whether Cellfina is a good fit for your particular skin issues.
