One of the most effective ones is the use of a technique called subcision. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where small needles are inserted to the depressed areas via a special hand held device, cutting and breaking the tightened muscle fiber. The release of the destroyed fibrotic muscle releases and pushes the sunken areas upward again. Collagen synthesis is also stimulated by the body’s natural healing process which lightens and improves the cellulite marks overtime. During cellulite treatment, some patients can ask for a fat transfer to use their own fat to fill in any pockets created from breaking the connective tissue bands.
