The Structural Cause
Cellulite has many causes, but the deep pockets and puckers are caused by fibrous bands in the fat layer underlying the affected areas. These bands pull the skin down and create the characteristic dimpling.

FDA-approved cellulite procedure with results that last at least 2-3 years. One 40-45 minute treatment under local, releases the fibrous bands that cause dimples.
Cellfina at Natural Results MedSpa is performed by our world-class MedSpa team at the practice in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Dr. Carlos Mata now offers his patients Cellfina, a great one-time, minimally-invasive procedure that is proven to improve the look of cellulite on a woman's buttocks and thighs. This cellulite procedure is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with results that last at least three years. It is a combination of proprietary, innovative technology and a proven approach that produces long-lasting, precise results. It treats the primary structural cause of cellulite.
Cellulite has many causes, but the deep pockets and puckers are caused by fibrous bands in the fat layer underlying the affected areas. These bands pull the skin down and create the characteristic dimpling.
Cellfina treats cellulite by releasing these connective bands, typically in a single treatment. Based on the clinical studies for FDA approval, results last for at least two to three years, and for some patients, significant improvement may be seen longer. It targets and treats these tight bands of tissue found in the fat. Once the tension in those bands is released, the cause of the puckering and dimples is gone, resulting in smooth skin.
The procedure is performed in our office. Results may be seen in as little as three days after treatment. Cellfina offers the longest-lasting results compared to other leading cellulite treatments and achieved the highest patient satisfaction.
A clinical study of the device shows 85% of patients reported being satisfied after 3 months, with satisfaction increasing to 94% after one year and 96% after two years. There were no serious side effects reported. The most common side effects included soreness, tenderness, or bruising in the treated areas, which typically subsided within a few weeks.
The procedure is only 40 to 45 minutes in length. It's done under local. There will be mild discomfort that may be treated with Tylenol and/or Ibuprofen. There will be slight drainage, like in liposuction procedures, that is totally normal for 1-3 days. You may resume your regular activities in 3-5 days, depending on when the drainage stops.
The procedure is performed by board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Carlos Mata, MD, MBA, FACS. Cellfina is extremely safe and effective when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed several hundreds of liposuction procedures. The results are reproducible, and the clinical trials produced no serious adverse effects.
Candidacy is ultimately a conversation. Our MedSpa team will determine the right path at consultation.
