What is the Technology Behind Laser Cellulite Reduction?

Laser cellulite treatment utilized high powered laser technology to smooth out cellulite and give you a smoother, younger looking skin. In fact, it is the revolutionary technology behind the new clinically proven and FDA approved Cellulaze^TM laser cellulite reduction procedure that sets it apart from other treatments. Read on to know more about this technology and how it works to remove cellulite safely and effectively.

Cellulaze™ Cellulite Laser Workstation – A Breakthrough in Cellulite Treatment

A special laser workstation and temperature sensing system are the crux of Cellulaze treatment. Only the Cellulaze™ Cellulite Laser Workstation features Cynosure's proprietary fiber optic SideLaze3D™. This compact workstation that weighs just 220 pounds is designed to deliver a powerful Nd:YAG 1440 nm pulsed laser wavelength via the SideLight side-firing fiber laser to attack cellulite directly at the source, that is, the structural tissues under the skin – trapped pockets of fat and rigid tissue which produce those unsightly lumps and bumps we call cellulite. Other treatments fail to work as they only treat surface issues.

This cellulite laser treatment is minimally invasive and involves only local anesthesia. The plastic surgeon marks the treatment area and makes small incisions. The tiny ThermaGuide cannula through which the optic laser fiber is threaded is inserted into the incision. This unique system works in three ways:

• The SideLight fiber allows flexible operation and is reoriented to target the trapped, bulging pockets of fat
• The heat from laser fiber is used to snip the fibrous septae or underlying connective tissue
• The laser energy delivered to the hypodermal junction encourages collagen and elastin production to thickens the skin and improve elasticity.

ThermaGuide Temperature Sensing System – Precise Delivery of Laser Energy

Complimenting the Cellulaze™ Cellulite Laser Workstation is Cynosure’s well-known

ThermaGuide™ Intelligent Delivery System. The ThermaGuide cannula has a sensor which measures tissue temperature. It works as follows:

• The Cellulite workstation measures and displays the average temperature on the screen.
• The physician delivers laser energy till the target temperature is reached.
• The ability to select the temperature setting allows the physician to reduce the laser energy if it tends to exceeds the right temperature.

Thus the ThermaGuide system allows the monitoring of temperature at the treatment site, enables precise fat disruption, and ensures safe end results by preventing overheating

Get Your Cellulite Reduction Treatment from a Cellulaze Trained Physician

Only physicians trained in using the novel Cellulaze technology are allowed to use it. So if you’re planning on going in for Cellulaze laser cellulite reduction, take care to find the right plastic surgeon and ensure that you get your treatment at an AAAASF accredited surgical facility.
