Cellulaze treats cellulite through use of a very thin cannula (or tube about the same diameter as angel hair pasta) inserted under the skin. The tip of the cannula has a series of lasers that work to melt pockets of excess fat, dissolve fibrous bands, and treat the skin to increase skin thickness and elasticity. Fat cells treated by the laser are permanently destroyed, and fibrous bands are cauterized in such a way that when they regrow, their very nature is altered, making your skin less likely to form cellulite in the future. The laser treatment for skin thickening has been shown to be at least twice as effective at restoring skin thickness and elasticity as the leading lasers used in facial rejuvenation.
