Results and Confidence That Lasts

Cellulaze is a minimally invasive laser treatment that targets the structural cause of cellulite beneath the skin. Unlike creams or temporary fixes, Cellulaze creates smoother, firmer skin that lasts.

What Is Cellulaze?

Cellulaze is the first FDA-approved laser procedure that addresses the underlying cause of cellulite. While cellulite appears on the surface of the skin, its root cause lies deeper, where fibrous bands pull the skin downward while fat pushes upward.

Cellulaze works by:

  • Releasing the fibrous bands that create dimples
  • Stimulating collagen production to improve skin quality and elasticity
  • Smoothing out bulges caused by fat deposits

Why Choose Cellulaze?

Cellulaze offers a long-lasting cellulite solution by targeting its structural causes beneath the skin, which is something that topical creams and surface treatments can’t achieve. Using gentle laser energy, Cellulaze releases the fibrous bands that pull the skin downward, melts small pockets of fat that create uneven texture, and stimulates collagen production to firm and smooth the skin from within.

For patients frustrated by dimpling on the thighs, buttocks, or hips, Cellulaze provides visible, measurable improvement after just one treatment. The laser smooths the skin’s surface and helps it grow stronger and more elastic over time. Most patients notice that their skin feels tighter, their contours appear more even, and their confidence improves as results continue to refine in the months following their treatment.

Because Cellulaze works below the surface, the results are more durable than temporary, surface-level treatments. With Dr. Gupta’s precision and experience, patients enjoy smoother, firmer skin that looks youthful and natural, without the need for repeated maintenance sessions.

The Cellulaze Procedure: What to Expect

Your Cellulaze treatment will be performed under local anesthesia to keep you comfortable.

Dr. Gupta will work just beneath the surface of your skin, inserting a fine laser fiber through tiny incisions to release the fibrous bands that cause dimpling. This laser will also melt small pockets of fat and stimulate new collagen production.

As your skin heals, it becomes stronger, smoother, and more even.

Recovery and Results

Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising after Cellulaze, but very minimal downtime. You can return to normal activities within one to two days. We may recommend the short-term use of a compression garment to support your healing. Your results will improve over time as new collagen forms and your skin thickens. You can expect continued improvement for three to twelve months, with results that routinely last for years.

How to Choose Between Cellulaze and Liposuction

While both Cellulaze and liposuction improve body contours, they address different concerns beneath the skin. In some cases, Dr. Gupta may recommend combining both procedures for a complete and polished result.

Cellulaze targets cellulite—the dimpled, uneven texture caused by fibrous bands and fat pockets just under the skin’s surface.

It’s ideal if your primary goal is firmer, more even skin rather than fat removal.

Liposuction, on the other hand, removes larger, localized fat deposits to sculpt the body and refine proportions. It’s best for patients with good skin tone who want to reduce volume or improve contour in specific areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms.
