You may have heard about Cellfina™, the latest advancement in the battle against cellulite. Historically, cellulite treatments have done little or nothing to help people get rid of those unsightly dimples that tend to take up residence on the buttocks and back of the thighs. However, to understand how Cellfina is different, you first have to understand a little bit about cellulite.

There’s a lot of mystery surrounding cellulite, and plenty of misconceptions. First, you should understand that cellulite is not fat. Fat does have something to do with the formation of cellulite, though. When fibrous bands of tissue press down on fatty deposits, the result is cellulite. Unfortunately, no amount of healthy eating or working out will get rid of the bumps and indentations that characterize cellulite.
