California Welcomes World's First Minimally Invasive Aesthetic Device for Cellulite Reduction

PASADENA, Calif., Feb. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sasaki Advanced Aesthetic Medical Center, office of Dr. Gordon Sasaki, is one of the first offices in the nation to offer Cellulaze, the world's first and only minimally invasive medical device designed to reduce cellulite in just one treatment. Dr. Sasaki is one of the original investigators of the recently FDA cleared Cellulaze Cellulite Laser Workstation, a groundbreaking treatment now available in Pasadena, California.

Too long has cellulite been an untreatable cosmetic flaw in a constantly developing industry. Numerous treatments promising efficacy lacked proven results until now. Dr. Sasaki offers California the first minimally invasive solution in their battle against cellulite.

Cellulaze is the first of its kind to approach the very causes of cellulite, reducing the skin dimpling and increasing the elasticity and thickness of the skin at one year. Nearly four years of clinical research puts Cellulaze in a class of its own as the only single-treatment aesthetic procedure that treats the physiological structure of cellulite, with proven results. By restoring the normal structure of the skin and underlying connective tissue, Cellulaze diminishes the lumpy pockets of fat, releases the areas of skin depression and creates a smoother look.

"We have heightened the standards of treatment for cellulite by utilizing scientific data and studying the anatomy of the dimpling effect," says Gordon H. Sasaki, MD, FACS, a board certified plastic surgeon, member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and clinical professor, Loma Linda Medical University Center. "All of the data supports the conclusion that patients can expect to see results at least up to one year."

During the procedure, Dr. Sasaki inserts a tiny laser fiber under the skin, which gently heats and disrupts or melts the fat. Next, the laser releases the fibrous bands that create the dimpling effect from pulling down on the skin. This release creates a smoother look. The laser's energy stimulates collagen production to increase skin's thickness and elasticity for a more even, healthier appearance.

Patients usually see improvements within a few weeks, with the most significant results continuing to develop for a few months following the procedure.
