Who may be suitable?
Adults with relatively stable weight, realistic expectations and suitable tissue may be assessed. Infection, pregnancy, uncontrolled illness, bleeding or wound-healing problems affect suitability. Medicines and previous treatments must be disclosed.
How is treatment planned?
The device and technique must be appropriate to cellulite. Other methods addressing fibrous bands may be considered. A single session or completely smooth skin cannot be guaranteed.
Benefits, outcomes and limitations
The aim is a change in local appearance, not obesity treatment. Some changes become apparent over time. Outcome and duration depend on device, technique, starting condition and weight changes. Different systems cannot be assumed to have identical effects.
Risks and aftercare
Swelling, bruising and tenderness may occur. Burns, infection, contour irregularity, altered sensation and area-specific nerve injury are discussed. Compression, activity and reviews are individualised. Increasing pain, marked colour change or fever require contact with the team.
Frequently asked questions
Is one session guaranteed to work?
No. Results and additional treatment needs vary.
Is it the same as open surgery?
A fibre-based subdermal procedure is minimally invasive. Entry points and anaesthesia requirements should be explained.
When can I return to work?
This depends on treatment extent and job demands; there is no universal timeline.
