Regardless of how thin and healthy you are, unfortunately, there’s nothing that can be done to stop or erase cellulite without assistance. Cellulite (a fibrous tissue) grows beneath the skin, usually around the thighs, stomach, buttocks, and hips that can create a bumpy, dimpled look. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Robert A. Shumway at Shumway Cosmetic Surgery in San Diego, CA provides his patients with state-of-the-art laser technology for cellulite reduction with Cellulaze. Approved by the FDA, Cellulaze can improve the look of cellulite for a period of a year or more. By pinpointing the fibrous tissue (commonly found just under the skin) with our minimally invasive treatment, Cellulaze frees the bound tissue and helps smooth the area in just a few days time. In the past, cellulite was basically impossible to address, but today, you can receive great, visible results from the Cellulaze laser at Shumway Cosmetic Surgery in La Jolla.

Cellulaze is effective and safe for most individuals at Shumway Cosmetic Surgery. However, you might not be a candidate if you have loose skin, diabetes, varicose veins, or an infection. Pregnant women and individuals taking blood thinners should not undergo Cellulaze treatments. You are most likely to benefit from a laser session with our Cellulaze technology if you:

• Are at a healthy weight
• Have cellulite on your hips, buttocks, stomach, or legs
• Have excellent skin elasticity

If you are concerned that you would not qualify to be a candidate for Cellulaze, the best advice we can give you is to make an appointment with us so you can talk to Dr. Shumway in person. He will give you the facts and recommendations on what you can do for your skin in the event this laser is not the solution for your treatment.
