Cellulite Treatment

Contrary to popular belief, cellulite isn’t a telltale sign of an unhealthy lifestyle. For most people, cellulite simply results from the way the fibrous bands of connective tissue in their skin interact with the natural fat cells. It is nothing to be ashamed of, but many people still feel the sting of the stigma surrounding it. Maybe you’ve tried diet and exercise already, then turned to other skin smoothening treatment options. If those haven’t quite shown the results you want, it may be time to explore NOVAKIT – the first FDA approved injectable cellulite treatment.

How Does The Treatment Work
NOVAKIT Cellulite Rx is an injectable cellulite treatment formula that contains two enzymes intended to break down collagen molecules. It is an FDA approved injectable that can help with even moderate to severe cellulite.

When we inject the liquid into a certain area, it begins the process of enzymatic subcision and remodeling (ESR). The primary medication in NOVAKIT is called collagenase clostridium histolyticum, or CCH. It breaks down Types 1 and 3 collagen in specific areas to create new, better-looking skin. It works by targeting the fibrous septae (fibrous bands of connective tissue). As the skin ages, it thins, using both volume and skin laxity. The fat cells protrude, pushing against the skin. The collagen-rich fibrous septae thicken, pulling the skin down as the fat cells push out. This creates cellulite-associated skin depressions.

Who is a Good Candidate for Cellulite Injections?
As with other cellulite treatments and cosmetic procedures, there are factors that make someone a better or worse candidate than others.
These injections are most effective in the buttocks of adult women, and they are FDA approved for this specific use. More specifically, the product is not necessarily recommended for the treatment of skin laxity.

Expected Procedure Outcomes
Some patients begin to see results around three weeks after the procedure. We recommend at least three treatments with approximately three weeks between each treatment session. The NOVAKIT cellulite treatment effectively restructures the cellulite formation in the area.
